Space StrugglesNew Services
As
librarians in each department are struggling with
space limitations of our current library, we are doing our best to
keep the collection up-to-date and organized, without overflow
ing, and make the best use of space while still providing some
new services in response to user requests.
The new services are
• Language learning ONLINE (for home use only). The
library has added the Rosetta Stone language learning soft
ware to its list of databases. You use this interactive language
learning product from your home computer (you cannot use it
at the library)! learning at your own pace with no tapes or
CDs to return to the library.
Aimed at the traveler, these Rosetta Stone courses include
French, German, Italian, Russian, Spanish, English (UK) and
English (US). You can use the English course to improve your
skills in your own language. The language immersion method
emphasizes speech and is a fast way to leant a language. You
match an image to a spoken word or phrase.
' Number 2
• More Internet computers...streamlined sign-up...relocation
of library catalogs. Starting in fall, there will be three more
Internet computers (making a total of nine) in the Adult
Reference area better to meet the demand within the available
space. Some library catalogs will be relocated to kiosks more
convenient to the stack areas. The Internet computers in Youth
Services will be dedicated to children and their parents or
caregivers.
A new collection of video games for Playstation 2 and
X-box console systems! Deerfield cardholders will be able to
check out these titles for one week. Some of the new titles
purchased include Halo, Lord of the Rings, Prince of Persia,
Ninja Gaiden and X-Men. In the coming months we shall be
adding more titles to keep up with the growing demand for
these titles. Borrowing is limited to 2 per family until the
collection grows. Children under 18 must obtain a parental
permission slip (different from the video permission slip) at
the Circulation Desk for the games.
Go to the library’s website (www.deerfieldlibrary.org) and
click on “Online Databases.” Scroll down and click on
“Rosetta Stone.” You must make up and enter your own
user name and password, then enter the bar code from
your Deerfield library card as the registration code. You
must enter user name and password each time you use the
product. Instructions will guide you through. Rosetta Stone
offers free technical support by e-mail, fax and telephone.
Studying in the library is easier with our lightening-fast wireless
internet. Bring your laptop and enjoy this library service.

�K.LD.D.O.S. Raises Money
for Library
Deerfield’s energetic Sue Vani, mother of two young children and
Lincolnshire first grade teacher, decided that young children need
ed to learn about philanthropy and that even pre-schoolers needed
to find a way to give back to their community. She came up with
the idea of K.LD.D.O.S. (Kids in Deerfield Doing Outstanding
Service). Their first annual event was a very
successful talent, fashion and art show July 21 at Deerfield’s First
Presbyterian Church. Highlights included an Elvis impersonator
(Kevin Mell, age 8) and hula dancers (Molly and Caroline
Nakahara, ages 7 and 3). Kevin Quigley of Cherry Pit fame
volunteered to emcee, and all proceeds from the show (which also
included a raffle, artwork and crafts) were donated for toys for the library’s Youth
Services Department. Vani said about $1000 was raised and already used to pay for a
new train set, dollhouse, puppets, puzzles and more.
Library Board News
At the spring library board of directors meeting,
the officers were re-elected to their posts for
another year. They are President, David Wolff;
Secretary, Ron Simon and Treasurer, Jeff Rivlin.
Other board members include Ken Abosch, Jeff
Blumenthal, Sheryl Lamoureux and Sunday
Mueller. Their phone numbers and e- mail
addresses appear on page four, should you wish
to contact any of them. Each month the trustees
are holding “Librarian in the Lobby” to discuss
library issues informally with the public. Open
library board meetings are held at 8 p.m. the
third Wednesday of each month.
THE MISSION OF THE
DEERFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY
is to provide our community
with open access to the world
of information and ideas,
encouraging lifelong learning
and personal growth in a
welcoming environment.
Vani’s friends Danielle Pedderson and Marla Callistein helped Vani organize the very
successful event. Their goal this year was to attract children to the library and provide
activity for their younger siblings that would lead to a pleasant library experience. The
library staff is most grateful to Sue, her adult helpers and the children who made it
possible.

In Memoriam
The Library staff was saddened to learn of the
death of John A. Anderson, who served on the
Deerfield Library Board of Trustees for
twenty-four years. Anderson retired from the
board in 2001 when he moved to Wauconda.
He had been a Deerfield resident for thirty-four
years, was first elected to the library board in
1977 and reelected in four subsequent
elections. A multi-faceted man, Anderson was
a strong advocate of freedom of speech, access
by all residents to all forms of information and
of library literacy. He was always a staunch
supporter and friend of our library and we shall
miss him.
