Message from the Director
We are moving right along in our remodeling and
expansion plans. Currently, we are completing the design
approvals process through the Commissions and the Village Board.
We are also looking for a suitable temporary site during construction.
Here is our estimated calendar:
• September, 2011 — Begin creating construction documents
• January, 2012 — Go out for construction bids
• February, 2012 — Move into temporary site
• April, 2012 — Begin construction on remodeling and expansion
• Late fall 2013 — Return to 920 Waukegan
We appreciate the input and feedback we receive from residents along the way, whether through our public information
sessions, emails and comment cards, visits with our Board members at Farmers Markets or just in line at the grocery store!
In discussions about the building project, we are often asked how the Library is addressing the rapid increase in electronic
formats for books and movies. We already have e-books and e-audios available, along with a limited video selection.
Currently, e-book demand is surpassing our available copies. We will soon make more e-book copies of popular titles
available to our users, while still offering a wide selection of new and beloved print books. We are taking these changes into
account as we plan the new spaces for the Library, allowing MORE to be the dominant word—more books through the
combination of print and e-formats, more space to read in a comfortable chair, more room for individuals using laptops,
more private spaces for small group discussions, more space to spread out study materials.
Throughout the changes to come, we will continue to share our developing plans and progress with residents through our
website, print newsletter, Facebook, and other means. We hope you will follow along!

We’re Reading
Together, Again!
Our community-wide reading program, One
Book, One Zip Code, coincides with the 10th
anniversary of September 11,2001, an event
that drives the plot of this year’s selection,
“Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close,” by
Jonathan Safran Foer.
In the book, nine-year-old Oskar Schell embarks
on a secret mission to find the lock that matches
a mysterious key that belonged to his father,
who died in the World Trade Center on the
morning of September 11. This brings Oskar
into contact with survivors of all sorts on an
affecting, often funny, and ultimately healing
journey.
The 10-year anniversary played a big role in the
One Book, One Zip Code committee’s selection.
“One way we learn about the past is through
stories,” says David Hirsch, long time member
of the committee. “Fiction is a powerful vehicle
for us to explore our relationships with each
other and with events like 9/11. One of the most
wonderful things about reading this book at this
time is that it enhances both the experience
of reading and our understanding of the com
plexities of 9/11. We hope that this book adds a
significant layer to the commemoration of 9/11.”
Another way we hope to add a “significant
layer” to this important remembrance is
through our programming. On Sunday,
September 11, following the civic ceremony at
Deerfield Village Hall which starts at 1:30 p.m,
Rabbi Aaron Melman of Temple Beth Shalom
in Northbrook will speak about his personal
experiences as student chaplain of the New
York Fire Department on 9/11. At 6:30 p.m.
on Monday, September 12, at Deerfield High
School, David Hirsch will interview the author
via Skype! Plus, Whitehall of Deerfield will
give away two Nooks and Barnes & Noble
gift cards. Other One Book programs are
highlighted in this issue of BROWSING or at
onebookonezipcode.org.
Special cards for sharing thoughts of 9/11 will
be available at every event, at the Library, at
the Patty Turner Center, at the high school and
elsewhere. People can drop off their cards or
mail them to the Library, which will collect
the cards in a book that will be added to the
collection.
Please join us in reading together, again!

Wright, who played with the blocks

What’s Next? That is a P'
A
question I field many
times a day from
residents interested in
knowing how our construction plans are
coming along. Our design process is just
kicking off. The Library Board is seeking
input from a variety of sources to refine
the design concepts. In the near future,
we will also begin the Village Commissions
approval process. Consistent with our
commitment to keep residents informed
and involved, we are planning a community
meeting this spring to share the renderings
of the design to that stage. This would
include the interior, exterior, landscaping,
and energy plans. Please watch for
announcements of the date and time.
At
Although actual construction is still far
off, there are sounds of construction near
our Circulation department as we install a
RFID system for patron convenience and
improved accuracy. A new interior “window”
has been created. Library materials returned
through that window are automatically
checked in, reducing error and getting
materials back to the shelves more quickly.
We are also combining our Teen and Media
service desks into one unit at a more
convenient location for improved service.
Look for our new, welcoming Information
desk and hot beverage vending near the
Library entrance, and patron-oriented
checkout stations in Youth Services as
well as at the Circulation desk. (Thanks
to the Friends for purchasing the first of
three new stations!) We welcome resident
feedback to make these services even
better in the new construction.
Bottom line: We never stop seeking ways
to better serve our library patrons and
community.
Faster, More Accurate Service
with RFID and Self Check
As the Library plans for a large-scale renovation
project, we are making a series of service
improvements that will have immediate benefits
for our patrons before implementing them in a
reconfigured building.
We have recently put Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags in all of our
materials to increase the speed and accuracy of checking items in and out of
the Library. RFID will check in items instantaneously, with nearly 100%
accuracy. Items will automatically be sorted upon check-in and get back on the
shelves and into circulation more quickly.
RFID tags will also allow patrons to quickly and easily use new checkout
machines installed on the Library’s upper and lower levels. Self-check stations
help patrons get their selections out the door and home to eqjoy sooner. Staff
members will be available all hours of operation to assist patrons with these
new stations.
Patrons who require assistance with library card registration or questions about
their account will now be able to take their time working with a circulation
staff member away from busy checkout lanes. In addition, an Information desk
near the front gates will also help patrons get speedy responses to our most
frequently asked questions.
Implementing RFID at this time will also greatly improve the Library’s ability to
keep track of materials during an extensive renovation project. Read more
about the Library’s next steps in the Message from the Director.
Where’s One Book, One Zip Code?
Discussions and events tailored to the 2011 community-wide \
reading program selection, Extremely Loud and Incredibly
Close by Jonathan Safran Foer, will take place this fall to
bii© 8@©Ss
coincide with the 10-year anniversary of September 11, 2001.
This year’s remarkable selection introduces Oskar Schell, the
Zipcode
nine-year-old son of a man killed in the World Trade Center
attacks, as he searches the five boroughs of New York City for a
lock that fits a black key his father left behind.
The OBOZ Steering Committee is in the process of planning this year’s
supporting events, including a live, teleconferenced interview with the author.

community, please contact Karen Kleckner at (847) 580-8950.

�Coming Soon: Blu-ray
Thanks to a generous donation from the Friends of the Deerfield Public Library,
we are currently building a collection of Blu-ray films! The new format will be
available this spring.
Attention Local Histoiy Bull'-:
/e/<?PubVc
The Friends of the Deerfield Public
Libraiy are happy to report that through
the community’s support purchasing
books from the Used Book Sale and
annual memberships, we are able to
fund the following items in 2011: partial
funding for a New Early Childhood
Literacy Station in Youth Sendees, a
substantial collection of Blu-ray discs,
and a Self-Checkout Station.
The Friends want to thank the
community for their used book
donations. The Friends continue to
accept gently used hardback,
paperback, and children’s books, as well
as DVDs and CDs. Please bring
donations to the Circulation desk at the
Library7 during regular business hours.
Volunteers sort and shelve these
donations, and we ask households to
donate only two shopping bags or boxes
per week.
We continue to need the support from
the community with Annual
Memberships. A Friends’ membership is
$15 per year, but any amount is welcome.
Please make checks payable to the
Friends of the Deerfield Public Library,
920 Waukegan Rd., Deerfield, IL 60015.
The Board of the Friends next meeting
will be held on April 27, 7 p.m. at the
Deerfield Public Library. Community
members and potential new volunteers
are always welcome. Please contact the
Friends at (847) 945-3311, ext. 8895 or
at friends@deerfieldlibrary.org.
The Friends plan on selling used
cookbooks again this year at the 2011
Deerfield Farmers Market. Look for us
this summer!

Recently, the Libraiy acquired nearly 60 years’ worth of bound Deerfield Review
newspapers, dating back to 1945. Each volume includes original articles,
photographs, obituaries, and advertisements.
Coffee, Tea, and Quiet
A new hot beverage station on the Library’s upper level now offers a wider variety
of coffee options. Coffee will sell for 25$ per cup and cups of cappuccino, mocha,
or hot chocolate are only 50$ each. This unit replaces the carafes of coffee that
were available in the Fiction Room.
Moving the busy beverage station out of the Fiction Room will help reclaim that
space for patrons looking for a quiet place to study, read, or just relax. Readers’
Sendees staff still look fonvard to talking to patrons about books; they’ll just be
using their “library voices.” Please help us keep this space one where peace and
quiet are a priority.
Did You Know? TV Turnoff Week is April 18 - 24, 2011
The Youth Services department offers a variety of games, puzzles, and coloring
pages to make your visit to the Libraiy an enjoyable one. Of course, there are also
books, recorded books, and music to check out and keep you busy without turning
on the TV! Need a recommendation? Stop by the Youth Services department!
Did You Know? Print from Home
The Library offers remote printing from any computer with Internet access.
Simply click on “Remote Printing” on the Library’s home page and send your
document to one of our print/copy stations to retrieve when you come in. Black
and white printing is 10$ a page; 25$ for color.
For the first part of this ACT Prep program, students will take a fully-proctored
practice ACT test and will learn what to expect in a test-like environment. Students
will receive a comprehensive analysis of their performance on the test, detailing
individual strengths and weaknesses. Be sure to bring a calculator, two #2 pencils,

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Thank to local residents Fred Gold and
Richard Hams for donating their time and
talent to present exciting programs at the
Libraiy this winter.
Congratulations to everyone who
participated in Reading Is Cool!, the third
annual Winter Reading Program for young
people. Incentives for the program were
generously provided by the Chicago Wolves,
who also sent one of their players, Peter
Mannrno, to visit the Libraiy to motivate
kids to read. Panera Bread in Bannockburn
kindly donated vouchers for free kids’ meals
as an added incentive for kids to achieve
their reading goals.
The Youth Services department would like
to acknowledge the S.T.A.R. Volunteers
who assisted with the Winter Reading
Program by signing up participants,
distributing prizes, and helping out at
special Youth Services programs. Thank you
for all that you do!
Thank you to Barnes & Noble at Deerfield
Square for continuing to share their
costumed characters with us! Check the
Libraiy’s Web site for upcoming Character

The Youth Services department would like
to thank the Friends of the Deerfield

Message from the Director
Some folks say that
winter is the dull
season, but not at
Deerfield Public
*
Library! We’re
ablaze with all the
possibilities we envi
sioned when our Library Board and
management team met recently to dis
cuss service expectations and emerging
trends in society. Now, we are using
what we learned to plan for an exciting
transformation.
■
One trend we are addressing is the desire
for convenient, personalized services. You
want your library resources and services
available when you need them, not just
when we are open. Now, you can place
your own holds, request e-mail notifica
tion about library materials, and down
load e-audiobooks. You can even have
program updates, new titles in your
choice of interests, and the New York
Times Bestseller List e-mailed to you! Not
sure how? We’ll be happy to get you started.
We shared the news about new Library
services this fall at many community
events. A presentation to the Chamber of
Commerce, booths at Community Services
Day and the 50+ Expo, visits to the high
school, and support of Arts & Riverwoods
are just a few examples of our ongoing
involvement in our community.
Throughout this newsletter you’ll read
how partnerships with local organizations
and businesses also have helped create
new grant opportunities and a communi
ty-wide book discussion. We aren’t just
joiners—we’re doers! Invite us to YOUR
next community event!

New Year’s Evolution
What have we resolved to do even better in the New Year? The Deerfield Public
Library wants to exceed your expectations! We are creating new ways to serve
the community, and we’re enhancing the Library collections and services that
you and your families tell us you love. Some of the innovations you will notice
right away are an expanded Multimedia department, “Reading Warriors: A Guys
Read Program” for boys in 3rd - 5th grade, and “One Book, One Zip Code,” a
community-wide reading program for adults.
Multimedia Department
Did you know that Deerfield Public Library patrons checked out almost as many
discs and DVDs as books last year? The Library is responding to this demand for
audiovisual materials by increasing staff and services in its new Multimedia
department.
You’ll find
• More staff members specially trained to
answer your questions about movies,
music, and more
• Reclassified CDs to make finding the
right items easier than ever (Next, we’ll
reclassify the audiobooks and separate
them into fiction and nonfiction.)
• New formats—including *Wii games,
*Playaways, and *downloadables
• Multiple copies of popular items
• Musical scores and media-related
magazines
*MediaSpeak
Wii: Nintendo’s most recent video
game console, distinguished by its
wireless controller
Playaways: Portable MP3 players
preloaded with one audiobook each
Downloadables: Text or audio files
that can be downloaded to your
computer and enjoyed at home or
transferred to a portable device
Reading Warriors: A Guys Read Program
Girls continued to outperform boys in reading this year, according to a recent
national study. Deerfield Public Library wants to address that trend and encour
age reading and library use among elementary school boys next year, with pro
grams and services supported by a Library Services and Technology Act grant of
$2,876. The Library will use funds awarded to “Reading Warriors: A Guys Read
Program” to survey boys in 3rd—5th grades on their reading preferences; offer a
workshop led by an expert on boys’ literacy for parents and teachers; and
increase the number of “boy-friendly” books, booklists, and programs the Library
provides.
�Adult Programs
Programs are free and open to the public. Please register in advance by calling 847-945-3311.

Dear Neighbor:
This past year, a group of volunteers formed The
Friends of the Deerfield Public Library, a not-forprofit organization dedicated to enriching the
library’s materials, services and programs. Our
first project is to raise $1,200 to purchase
Playaways, ready-to-go digital audiobooks which
are about the size of a deck of cards.
Our group has been involved in several activities
to establish our presence in the community. To
introduce ourselves to the community and provide
information about our group, we assisted the
Library with several of their events. We maintain
the book spinner at the Deerfield Train Station,
which has provided hundreds of free used books
to commuters. In September we had a booth at
the Farmer’s Market and at Deerfield Community
Days. In addition, we recently assumed responsi
bility for the sale and maintenance of the
ongoing used book sale at the Library.
Please help us in our efforts to assist the
Deerfield Public Library by becoming an annual
member of the Friends for $15 or more. We
welcome and appreciate all donations. Your gift
is tax-deductible as allowed by law.
THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND OF THE
DEERFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY!

Income Tax Forms
Why was the Library closed?
A limited number of the most-used tax forms
for individuals will be available in the Libraiy
beginning in January. Get all federal forms at
imw.irs.gov or by phoning 1-800-TAX-FORM
(1-800-829-3676). Get all Illinois forms at
iwow.tax.illinois.gov or by phoning
1-800-356-6302. Small-business owners and anyone
needing multiple copies of forms should place
orders directly with the federal or state govern
ment for home delivery. Income tax assistance will
be available from IRS-trained AARP volunteers at
the Library from 1 - 4 p.m. on Tuesdays and
Fridays from February 1 through April 15.
We realize it is inconvenient for you when we are
closed and you need us. From time to time, we
close in order to provide staff training that can
help us better serve you. For example, last June
we learned about fire safety and practiced using
fire extinguishers! In October, all employees had
an orientation to our basic reference services and
also learned the steps we will follow to transition
to a new automation system next year. We try to
keep closures to a minimum and to use the time
wisely in ways that ultimately will benefit you.

Message from the Library
—
Director
Our mission, in part,
is to provide you
with open access to
the world of infor
mation and ideas.
Sometimes, we bring the world to you!
For example, Deerfield Public Library
is very excited to be hosting the North
Central 0 Gaugers Model Railroad
Club. Train lovers of all ages will delight
in seeing this enormous model train
layout and its villages, bridges and
flashing signals on Saturday, March 24,
from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Don’t miss it!
Another way we will bring the world to
you is through programs about “bou
tique” libraries. These are the jewels of
small, public-access libraries in the
Chicago-metro area, offering highly
specialized collections. For example, in
April we will reveal the treasures of the
Lenhardt Library of the Chicago
Botanic Garden. In May, we will spot
light Lake County’s William D. Block
Memorial Law Library and its valuable
resources. Learn about other unique
libraries in the months to come.
</°l^e
Number ^
The Trains, the Trains!
Saturday, March 24, 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.
The Library is the place to be when the North Central 0 Gaugers roll into town
with their gigantic 12 by 20 foot model train layout. Ring the bells, lift the gates,
load the trains, and swap stories in this daylong event for all ages. Special sur
prises include a drawing for a free small train set sure to delight any child!
The exhibition will feature a wide variety of passenger and freight trains, from
historic steamers to prototypical modern diesels. Guests of all ages will enjoy
the excitement of the sights and sounds of an interactive, operating model train
layout. Hands-on opportunities will allow attendees to experience the thrill of
running the trains wirelessly. NCOG Club members will be on hand to answer
any questions visitors may have.
Expanded Computer Services
For your convenience, we now offer in

PowerPoint and Excel to the public. Microsoft Office is available on all public

�Joan Bairstow, Head of
Circulation, Retires
It’s no cliche to say that Joan
Bairstow will leave her mark on
Deerfield Public Library. From
putting barcodes in books 23 years
ago to working behind the
Circulation Desk since 1985, Joan
has handled nearly every book, CD,
DVD, and video game in the
Library’s collection. She will retire
on May 25, 2007.
While raising her family in
Northfield, Joan helped create a
Friends of the Library group that
established the Northfield branch
of the Winnetka Public Library. The
branch relied largely on volunteers,
and Joan did everything from paint
ing walls to helping patrons. In
1984, she made the leap to paid
library employee when she came to
Deerfield Public Library to help
barcode the library’s collection.
After the barcoding project was
complete, Joan joined the
Circulation Department full time.
She quickly moved up to Assistant
Head of Circulation and has been
the Head of the department since
1998. Joan has eqjoyed many
aspects of her job, especially work
ing with the patrons. “Many are
friends at this point. We worry
about them when we don’t see our
regulars for awhile.”
Though she will miss being part of
special moments like helping a
child get his or her first library
card, Joan is looking forward to
the many activities her retirement
will allow her to eqjoy. Joan has
children living on both the East
and West Coasts and plans to make
frequent visits. When at home,
she’ll be taking classes and enjoy
ing her membership to the Chicago
Botanic Garden. And, her friends at
the library hope, coming back to be
waited on from the other side of
the desk.

You Gotta Have Friends
A new group, the Friends of the Deerfield
Public Library, is forming to promote the
enrichment of the Deerfield Public
Library. The Friends work together to
encourage the community to have an
increased understanding of and apprecia
tion for the materials and services available from the Library; to supplement
Library services, programs and materials
in accordance with the Library’s policies
and needs; and to provide fundraising and
advocacy for the Library. The Friends
invite anyone interested in learning more
to attend meetings on Wednesday, April 4,
7 p.m. and Wednesday, April 25, 7 p.m. The
Friends especially need members interested
in fundraising, writing, and/or marketing.

Acknowledgments
Deerfield Public Library gratefully
acknowledges the many monetary gifts it
received through the years in memory of
Amy Simon. These donations were primarily
used to purchase materials for the Youth
Services Department “to expand knowledge of the world and its people.”
Recently, the family and friends of Olivia
Lucy Yang donated to the Youth Services
Department in Olivia’s memory. The
Library selected Asian-themed books and
language CDs for children.
In addition, the family of Carolyn Colburn
designated Deerfield Public Library as a
recipient of gifts in Ms. Colburn’s memory.
The Library has since purchased several
books in her name.
The Deerfield Woman’s Club has also regu
larly contributed toward adult books in
memory of its members.
The Library is honored to be the recipient
of these memorial gifts.

during National Library Week, and ask for a “My First Library Card’’ case. These vinyl
wallets have a space for your child to write his or her name and two pockets for carry

You’ve Got Books!
In January, the Libraiy asked patrons to vote for their favorite book from the last 25 years.
Adults voted for everything from Pulitzer Prize-winner Lonesome Dove to book group
favorite My Sister's Keeper. Children, on the other hand, filled the ballot boxes to the brim
with the same beloved titles. The book with the overall largest number of votes was Harry
Potter. (Not every voter designated which Harry Potter book, but it was clear that Harry
and his friends at Hogwarts were number one with readers.) Second place was the popular
fantasy Eragon, and third place went to The Berenstain Bears.
