Message from
the Director
' JTf-, " ^
We deeply appreciate the t
feedback from the
community as the Library
Board seeks input about
the possible building improvement
project. The March series of Public Open
Houses, the April/May telephone survey,
and the Citizen Input Group have all
contributed to our understanding of the
perspectives, concerns, and suggestions
about the future of the Library in
our village.
What’s next? The Library Board will
review the feedback from the Open
Houses, telephone survey, and Citizen
Input Group. Based on these and other
resources, the Library Board will select
one of the original four options and begin
to develop it further. They will determine
a preferred course of action, and share it
with the Village Board. Then, the
preferred option will be shared with the
community through the second series of
Public Open Houses. Once again, public
feedback will be collected and reviewed
with the Citizen Input Group. By late
summer, the Library Board will
determine whether to proceed with a
possible referendum.
Want to learn more? Have an opinion to
share? The Library Board will continue to
invite participation through the next
series of Public Open Houses. (See
“Planning for the Future” for dates and
times of the sessions.) Take a behind-thescenes tour. Learn about the issues.
Compare us to other libraries. Consider
the costs. To contact a Board member,
call or email them using the contact
information provided on the back cover
of the newsletter, or the Library website.

Planning for the Future
The Library Board is committed to keeping Deerfield residents informed about,
and involved in, the future of the Library. Based upon feedback from the March
series of Public Open Houses and the telephone survey conducted in April, the
Library Board will select one of the four building improvement options presented
and ask the architects and financial consultant to develop it further. During the
next series of Public Open Houses, the selected option will be presented in more
detail and additional public feedback will be sought. Each event in the series
will follow the same agenda, offering residents a variety of convenient times to
attend. One-hour Open Houses will be held Saturday, June 26 at 3 p.m. and
Tuesday, June 29 at 7 p.m.
Results of March Public Open Houses
Five Public Open Houses were held in March to familiarize Deerfield residents
with the Library building history and needs, additional expressed needs of the
community, four possible building improvement options, and the costs projected
for each option—including possible effects on a resident’s real estate taxes.
About 42 members of the general public attended the sessions, and 30 completed
feedback forms. In addition, members of the Citizen Input Group assisted the
Board in evaluating the community feedback and provided their own perspectives
at a special Board meeting held April 24. Of the four options presented, 35%
preferred Option 3—Remodel and Expand, while 60% selected Option 4—Build a
New Library. The remaining 5% chose Option 1 or Option 2 which provide for
changes necessary to meet code, and limited other improvements.
The Library Board continues to receive valuable input from the Citizen Input Group.
Members are: Christine Barr, John Bartok, Cookie Center, Lorraine Clark, Lisa
Crist, Betsy Eisenhauer, Luisa Ellenbogen, Brooke Fogt, Mark Fox, Mike Gruenhut,
Laurie Leibowitz, Rick Lynn, Nancy O’Neill, Jean Reuther, Bob Rosenbacher, Judy
Smith, Amy Thale, Jane Weinstein-Jacobson and Bruce Zimmerman.
Results of Telephone Survey
The Library Board hired the Northern Illinois University (NIU) Public Opinion
Laboratory to conduct a telephone survey of 400 residents of Deerfield. Phone
numbers were chosen at random from those assigned to the Deerfield area—they
were not provided by the Library, nor did NIU have any access to the Library’s
patron database. The survey was developed by NIU with Libraiy input. Results
will appear on the Library's web site. The Library Board will use the findings,
combined with feedback from the Open Houses and other sources, to make a
decision about which building option to pursue, if any.
Updates on the surveys, reports, and Board actions are available at
http://www.deerfieldlibrary.org/deeifield/planning.asp.

�New improvements to Selection and Service
LINKin
You can now search and request an additional 1.8 million items from our
partner libraries in the LINKin network with your Deerfield Public Library
card. LINKin connects the library catalogs of Deerfield Public Library,
Arlington Heights Memorial Library, Cook Memorial Library, Gail Borden Public
Library, and Skokie Public Library. If an item is not available for checkout at
Deerfield Public Library and is available at one of the partner libraries, the
item will be sent to Deerfield Public Library within three or four days. Patrons
will be notified by phone or email when the item is ready for pickup.
On-Shelf Holds
Deerfield Public Library cardholders may now request “on-shelf’ items through
the Library’s online catalog. When a request is placed, Library staff will retrieve
the item from the shelf within 24 hours (excluding Sundays) and put it on the
new self-service holdshelf for the patron to pick up within 5 days. Due to their
high demand, the Library cannot pull DVDs, videos, or video games.
Self-Service Holdshelf
All holds (LINKin books coming from other libraries, on-shelf holds,
Interlibrary Loan items, and regular holds) are now kept on the self-service
holdshelf to the east of the Circulation desk, by the elevator. Items are arranged
alphabetically by patron last name. These books are not checked out to the
patron and still need to be brought to the Circulation desk for check out.
Enotification Contest
All Deerfield cardholders who have signed up for enotification by Saturday, June 19,
will be entered in a drawing for free Ravinia lawn passes. Enotification allows you to
receive notices about holds and overdue items via email rather than by phone. Visit
the Library’s online catalog and log in to your account, click on the “Modify Personal
Info” button and enter your email address. Need help? Stop by any service desk for
assistance.

Message from the
Library Director
II is an honor to
-glsst* N
serve this commu
ft
■
\ 1
nity as your new
Library Director.
The Board, staff
and I seek to build
on the solid foun
dation set in place by former
Administrative Librarian Jack Hicks
and the others who have dedicated
themselves to our purpose over the years.
At our recent all-staff meeting, the staff
members and I began by reading our
mission statement together, aloud: “To
provide our community with open
access to the world of information and
ideas, encouraging lifelong learning
and personal growth in a welcoming
environment.” Each day we seek new
ways to make that happen.
Whether we continue to do this in our
present facility, or perhaps by pursuing
a newer facility to meet the community’s
needs in the future, our focus on this
mission will remain the same.
How will you make the best use of
your library—your access point to the
world of ideas and information?
Whether you enter through our glass
front doors or through our virtual portal
(www.deerfieldlibrary.org), we are
here, ready to serve your changing
interests and needs. Make yourself at
home here!

My Favorite Things
Rosemary Sazonoff Writing Contest:
February 1 - February 28
The Deerfield Library kicks off its 11th Annual Creative Writing
Contest in February with a celebration of “My Favorite
Things.” The contest honors the memory of library trustee,
community activist and journalist Rosemary Sazonoff. The
library encourages aspiring authors from 2nd Grade through
adult to participate.
For Adults: High School and above. Describe one of your
“Favorite Things” in a short, unpublished piece of creative
writing. The library will honor adult winners at a reading and
elegant “high tea” at 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 11, at the library. Get entry forms and
more information in all departments and online beginning February 1. To be eligible,
please turn in your submission by February 28, 2007.

Vote for Your Favorite Book of the Last 25 Years
In 2006 the New York Times Book Review invited an esteemed panel to select the best
books of the past 25 years. Now the library wants to know what your favorites are. Will
you agree with the critics and put Beloved on the top of the pile? Or will a new favorite
emerge? Get ballots at all public service desks and online beginning January 2. At the
end of the month, librarians will tally your choices and announce Deerfield’s favorite
book!

New DVD Cases Are a Snap
To help you check out items faster, the library replaced the cases on over 2,000 DVDs. The
best way to remove DVDs from their cases after you’ve checked them out and taken them
home is to open the case and press down on the center dot that says “Push.” The DVD
should pop out of the case easily without cracking.
