�From the Director
In August 2022, the Library conducted
a community survey to see how we can
improve our services. This survey was the
first step in updating our strategic plan. We
promoted the survey on our website, social
media, newsletters and in-house. We had over
520 responses. And, I’m happy to report that
most of our survey respondents are satisfied
with the services the Library provides.
Our survey responders want more of all the things that the
Library provides. Most survey takers (42%) also visit the Library
once a week. (If you’re a regular reader of this column, you know
that I grew up visiting my local public library branch weekly, so I
appreciate that this is still a thing!)
More than 360 survey takers are interested in expanding our
Library of Things collection. An equal number is interested in
the Library having more special STEM programs as well.
We heard that people are interested in additional comfortable
seating and study areas.
In addition, survey takers want to learn more about the services
that they didn’t know we had. We are committed to effectively
promoting our resources and services, and will work creatively
to meet that need. One great way to learn more about our
services is through our twice monthly e-newsletter. It is a
quick and informative read. If you’re not yet a subscriber, sign
up today! The link is on the lower left of the front page of our
website (deerfieldlibrary.org).
This year, the Board will approve a new Strategic Plan using
some of the data from the survey. This will help our staff
continue to make DPL an even better public library. Watch our
website for more information.
As always, please feel free to reach out to me with any questions
or comments at amy@deerfieldlibrary.org.
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director
DPL Tournament of Books: 10th Season!
Was your vote one of the 17,441 votes cast in last year’s DPL Tournament of Books? Did your favorite book make it to the Championship
Round? If not, then maybe this year a new favorite will make it to the
top in what we expect to be the most exciting season ever. Yes, get
ready for the 10th anniversary season of the Tournament of Books!
If you’re new to the Tournament, last year readers voted for their
favorite picture books, early readers, graphic novels, chapter books,
juvenile fiction and non-fiction, and teen titles. Voting is open to all
ages! Voting is online at deerfieldlibrary.org/tournament-of-books,
and DPS 109 students can vote in their school library.
In celebration of the 10th season of the Tournament, we will
be introducing two new brackets: Series and Manga. The
Series bracket was a suggestion from readers and experienced
Tournament participants: Lucy Bohrer and Charlie Plocker, both
5th grade students at Wilmot.
DPL School Outreach Coordinator Kary Henry (and Tournament
coordinator) recently visited Wilmot School to get some Tournament
insights from Lucy, Charlie, and the school’s Library Information
Specialist, Andrea Lathan.
Lucy and Charlie say they really enjoy participating in the annual
event. “The Tournament gets me thinking about what genres I most
like to read,” said Lucy. One of her favorites is historical fiction. Charlie
also likes historical fiction, and is a fan of sports-themed fiction. “I
enjoy participating in the Tournament because I find out about new
titles, and end up reading books that I might otherwise not have tried
out,” said Charlie.
When the Tournament was first introduced in 2013, there were only
117 votes cast. But for the second year, DPL began a partnership with
DPS 109, and participation grew exponentially. Ms. Henry is grateful
to the schools’ Library Media Specialists: “Without their support, we
would never reach this many students and garner this many votes!”
A couple of frequently asked questions about the Tournament are:
• How are the books selected for the initial Round of 32? They are
the highest circulating books at DPL during the previous year.
• How many times can you vote? As many times as you want!
Charlie and Lucy both say they vote about five times per round,
and a few times more for books they really love. “Yes, the
competitive spirit heats up when you really love a book,” said
Ms. Lathan. “I’ve seen some students vote 20-30 times for one title!”
“When we are in line waiting to vote in the Tournament, we often
discuss the books and find out how people plan to vote,” said Lucy.
Charlie makes a point that “the discussions do not sway his vote,”
and Lucy seconded that.
With the tips from Lucy, Charlie, and Ms. Lathan in hand, get ready
and get reading for Tournament of Books 2023. Voting starts April 4.
Vote early, vote often! @ deerfieldlibrary.org/tournament-of-books

DPL Named One of the Nation’s Star Libraries
Deerfield Public Library has received recognition as one of America’s Star Libraries for 2022,
as announced by Library Journal. This is Deerfield’s
first time receiving this recognition, and one of
only 258 public libraries nationwide.
For Deerfield’s first inclusion as a Star Library, we
received four stars. Ratings are assigned three, four,
or five stars, based on use of library services and
resources, including in-person visits, items checked
out (physical and digital), program attendance,
library website visits, wi-fi sessions, and use of
electronic resources.
We are proud to serve our community with distinction, and thank you for your support!

Deerfield Public Library
Spring 2022 | deerfieldlibrary.org
of DPL
Details on Page 2
�From the Director
This edition of Browsing is all about the
hidden gems of DPL. One hidden gem that
many people might not be familiar with is
the fiscally-minded Board of Trustees, who
are elected to rotating open positions every
two years in local elections. The Board of
Trustees serves a very important purpose.
They’re responsible for setting policies for
the Library to execute. In addition, they are
the fiscal stewards of property taxes collected for the Library.
The Library is over 97% supported by property taxes. The Library
Board takes their responsibility very seriously, carrying out the
Library’s mission in the most fiscally prudent manner possible.
This past year, the Board actively examined the Library’s finances
and funding levels. In 2022, the Library levy will be $46,881
less than 2021 due to refunding and reissuing our debt service
bonds. The bond refinance savings of $458,338 over the next
10 years will start in 2022. We worked with the Village of
Deerfield to refinance the general obligation bonds from our
building renovation project in 2013.
I’m grateful for the good stewardship of both the Library Board
and the Village of Deerfield. This is how libraries thrive.
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director
The Library is full of treasures, some “hidden,” some right out in the
open. Some are things you can hold, and some live only in the digital
realm. A few treasures are new resources, and others have been
around for years. Library staff regularly surprise patrons
with info about DPL treasures. Here are some staff favorites!

The MakerSpace:
Your Place to Create
Story on page 2
�From the Director
As a part of this generous and
cooperative community, the Library
looks to develop and nurture
relationships with a wide variety of
community organizations. One of our
strongest partners is the Friends of the
Deerfield Public Library. In the past
12 years, they’ve raised over $125,000
to supplement library programs and
services. Most recently, they donated $25,000 for the laser
engraver in the Library’s new MakerSpace. Following are just
a few more examples of our many treasured partnerships.
The Library has had a long-standing partnership with
DPS 109. Our School Outreach Coordinator has cultivated
relationships with school librarians, teachers, administrators,
and students. With Jewett Park in our backyard, we have
worked with the Park District staff on a variety of projects.
In fact, at Jewett, there’s a bookshelf by the reception desk
stocked with books selected by our Youth Services staff.
We have worked with graphic design students at Deerfield
High School to design our annual Summer Reading Program
logo. This is the sixth year of our partnership. The logos fit
our annual theme, and are used both digitally and in print.
We are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with so many
talented students.
Every spring, we have a food drive to help the West Deerfield
Township Food Pantry stock their shelves. Annually, from
September through the end of the year, we collect winter
coats for Lake County veterans and Rotary, and also take
donations for the Toys for Tots program.
Public libraries serve their communities in so many different
ways. Nurturing our partnerships is one of them.
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director
Create. Innovate. Collaborate.
In the mood for a little technology tinkering?
Ready to take your craft ideas from inspiration to creation?
Opportunities abound at your community’s newest creative
place: the Deerfield Public Library MakerSpace!
Waves of people from Deerfield and neighboring communities
came to explore the sunny, colorful new MakerSpace at the
grand opening at the end of November. Many attendees already
had multiple projects in mind, and were back the next day to
get started. Here’s what the many visitors have been using, and
are available to all inventive and crafty spirits:
n 3D printers
n Laser engraver (generously donated by the
Friends of the Deerfield Public Library)
n Sewing machine
n Serger
n Embroidery machine
n Vinyl cutter
n Digital Media Lab equipment (for converting
older technologies to digital files)
n Large format printer
In addition, the space has a button maker, Dremel rotary tool,
soldering iron, voltmeter, and more. Additional STEAM-related
equipment includes a virtual reality station and an augmented
reality sandbox.
The MakerSpace is generally a self-directed workspace, but
when you make an appointment to use MakerSpace equipment
a staff member will be on hand to help guide you for the
duration of your appointment.

�2020 Census
Let’s get right to the point. Your participation in the 2020
Census is extremely important. The results will impact your life
for the next 10 years. Census results determine dozens of major
representation and allocation issues. This includes
• Number of seats in the U.S. House (Illinois is in danger of
losing 1-2 seats)
• Federal funds (out of a national total of $675 billion) for:
- Schools and Libraries
- School meal programs
- Roads and Highways
- Public Transportation
- Medicaid
- SNAP and WIC
- Housing assistance
- Community services grants
There will be one form per household, and will only take about
10-15 minutes to complete. Be sure to include the littlest people,
too. Historically, the most under-counted are the 0-5 crowd! In 2010,
it was estimated that one million children were left uncounted.
The good news – it will be easier than ever to participate!
There will be three ways to submit your Census form:
All households should receive an invitation in the mail about
March 12 with submission information. Census day is April 1,
but you will be able to submit your form starting March 12.
If you submit your form before April 8, there will be no need
for a Census worker to knock on your door. Don’t delay!
• Online / computer or mobile app (first time in history)
• Phone
• Paper
Starting March 12, the Library will have a dedicated computer
available for anyone in need of a device for online submission.
For more information, visit 2020census.gov.
Help us get a complete count!

Summer 2019 | deerfieldlibrary.org
Summer Reading Program Kick-off Day
Saturday, June 8 • 9am-5pm
Details: Adults (p.3), Teens (p.7), Children (p.8)
�From the Director
Over the past editions of Browsing, I’ve
written about the fulfillment of the
Library’s current Strategic Plan, which
has been in place since 2017. We have
accomplished a number of the things
outlined in the plan, such as increasing
our program offerings, and adding more
copies of popular materials.
The final component to this plan is to reexamine our space to
create more seating, as well as introducing more technology
for the community with a new collaborative workspace.
At the March 2019 Board meeting, the Board hired a local
construction management firm, W.B. Olson, to manage
this project. Over the summer months, we will finalize the
documents and timeline the construction process. In the lead
up to the start of the construction, you’ll notice that some
things in the media section may be shifted. We anticipate
the start of construction will be later in the summer, and we
expect it to last approximately six weeks.
Automatic renewals are here!
Yes, it’s true. If your
checked out items are
eligible for renewal, it will
happen automatically,
up to two times! This
new service offered
by DPL provides the
convenience of enjoying
materials for a longer
period of time with less
worry about returning
them on time or
remembering to request
a renewal. Your to-do list
just got a little shorter!
The collaborative workspace is a multifunctional space
designed to help the Deerfield community learn, create,
collaborate, and have fun with technology. We will provide
everyone with equal access to materials and resources that
encourage learning in a welcoming environment. We will
be moving our very popular 3D printer into the new space,
and additional items under review for purchase are a laser
engraver, 3D scanner, and STEAM kits.
The workspace will include AV equipment such as a sound
booth, microphones, and a camera. We plan to have creative
crafting equipment, such as a sewing and embroidery
machine available for use. Finally, we’ll move our Digital
Media Lab from the basement so that all our patron-use
equipment is located in one space.
Watch our website and social media channels for more
information on this exciting new addition to DPL.
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director
How does it work?
• Two days before the due date, eligible items will
automatically renew for the full renewal period.
• What’s not eligible? Any item on hold for another
patron, Lucky Duck books, new videos, and items
acquired through interlibrary loan.
• Digital items (e-books, e-audiobooks, streaming
movies and music) are not affected.
How will I be notified?
• Patrons who have an e-mail address in their account
will get a courtesy notice letting them know which
items were not automatically renewed, and which
items now have a new due date.
• Patrons who receive text message notices will receive
a courtesy notice listing the items that were not

Story on page 2
60 YEAR REFLECTION
�From the Director
We are in year three of our Strategic Plan,
developed in 2016 after months of work.
We surveyed Library patrons to gather their
feedback about what they want in their Library.
The staff and board are proud of the work that
has been accomplished. We have increased unique types of items
in the collection, added a self-checkout station for ease, adjusted
check out periods and added new spaces for our youngest patrons
in the Youth Services Department
In response to the enhanced emphasis in education for science
and math, the Library has responded with an increase in
technology programs. Some of our most popular programs have
been rooted in the maker technology. The maker movement is a
technology-based extension of DIY culture that intersects with
computer culture. This focus has coincided with our interest in
repurposing some of our space.
In 2018, the staff and board began working with Product Architecture
& Design, a firm that specializes in creating flexible library spaces.
We evaluated various options for reconfiguring our physical collection,
and have decided to repurpose the space that houses our DVD and
CD collection. We anticipate that we will see this transformation to
begin in the summer of 2019. We will be moving the Media Desk
from a somewhat hidden position to a more accessible location. This
new collaborative workspace will provide our community innovative
access to technology. We are excited to invigorate the space, and will
provide further details as plans develop.
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director
Deerfield 1959: New Insights
At the end of 2018, the Libraiy launched a new website, The Fight to Integrate Deerfield: 60 Year Reflection (deerfieldlibrarj.org/FID).
The website documents an important and complex time in the history of Deerfield and the United States. With the website, the Library
is presenting an array of special programs and exhibits to illuminate our community’s stoiy.
This is not a new story. There were community programs on the 1959 integration crisis for the 40- and 50-year anniversaries, and it has
been part of the Deerfield schools’ curriculum for years. This 60-year reflection was inspired by receipt of new historical documents for
our archives, new revelations, and several recent and forthcoming books and projects that feature Deerfield’s integration case.
Website
The new website includes online exhibits,
interviews, discussion guides, booklists,
a timeline of events, and our historical
archives. This will serve as the online
home for our resources for years to come
so that, beyond our program series,
future generations will have access to the
materials.
Historical Archives
The preservation of our physical archives
has been an important component of our
60 year reflection project. Standout items
in the newly digitized history collection
include newspaper articles quoting
Eleanor Roosevelt and Martin Luther
King Jr., anti-integration editorials, and
items related to the formation of the pro
integration Deerfield Citizens for Human
Rights.
Exhibits
2
Temporary exhibits will feature original
primary source materials including
propaganda, protest handouts, newspaper
articles, and rare photographs on loan
from the Art Shay Archives. Exhibits
will be on display in several locations
throughout the Library for the duration
of the program series.
for the Library’s permanent collection.
The photos represent a documentary and
artistic record of the fight over integrated
housing in Deerfield.
Art Shay Photographs
Share Your Story
A generous donation from the Friends of
the Deerfield Public Libraiy has made
possible the purchase of two photographs
by longtime Deerfield resident and
world-renowned photographer, Art Shay,
We are interested in personal stories,
memories, contemporary reflections, and
physical documents related to the fight to
integrate Deerfield. If interested, email

�This newsletter’s focus is on the non-traditional items
that DPL has to offer. It’s an interesting idea. What is a
“non-traditional” item? According to my dad, a DVD is
something that he considers non-traditional. My dad is a
voracious reader and library user, and he uses his public
library for books.
As I reflect on my almost 20 year career as a librarian,
I remember when computers were considered nontraditional. Computers! Something so ubiquitous today
was quite the big deal when I began my career. The first
public library I worked at after library school had a
shelving range dedicated to regional Illinois phone books.
Speaking from personal experience, those were a hard
thing to shelve! We also had CD-ROMs instead of online
databases and a vertical file. A vertical file was a filing
cabinet that had folders of “current” information, as
well as things like maps. In my tenure at that library,
we got rid of the phone books and the vertical file to
add more, you guessed it, public access computers.
Public libraries have been adept at evolving and
changing to meet the needs of their individual
communities. Deerfield is no exception. In the past
year, our collection of non-traditional items has grown
considerably. As a public library, we are about meeting
our patrons’ information needs in a variety of formats.
We have learned that this can be in the form of a
Roku or a telescope or even a board game.
Check one out today!
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director
Take home a telescope (and more)!
Once upon a time... long, long ago (ok, maybe just 20 years ago), most public libraries
had only print items for check-out, plus small collections of audio and video materials.
Fast-forward to 2018, and the DPL collection has creatively expanded to provide an
enhanced experience for our community.
Siona and Eva Rajshekhar (1-r, cover) are two of the Library’s most enthusiastic
users of “non-traditional” library materials. These Wilmot students have found that
their experience with DPL’s Discoveiy Kits stimulated an interest in STEAM (Science,
Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) activities. They have continued working
in these subject areas both at camp and school. Their interest in architecture and
engineering resulted in the cool wood structure on the cover, built with DPL’s KE\A kit.
Siona and Eva report that the structure represents the future headquarters for their
business, still in the planning stages, for “spy missions or dog walking, or both!”
Come on in and learn more about all this
fun stuff. You’ll find our non-traditional
materials in the Youth or Media
departments.

DEERFIELD
fj| Please register in advance at the Library, by phone at 847-945-3311 or
at deerfieldlibraryorg. Registration opens Wednesday, November 14.
In 1959, residents of Deerfield learned a housing developer planned to sell homes in the village to
black buyers as well as white buyers. Many residents opposed integration and sought to halt the
development. A smaller group, the Deerfield Citizens for Human Rights, formed in support of the
development. In the weeks that followed, Deerfield residents passed a park referendum designed to
condemn the developer’s land. The crisis in Deerfield became a national story, attracting the attention
of Martin Luther King Jr., James Baldwin, and Eleanor Roosevelt. After years of demonstrations and
legal battles, the land became parks that stand today.
Continuing a community tradition, the Library is inviting residents, historians, and experts to offer
new insights into this history. We have updated and digitized our archives, made new acquisitions and
discoveries. The Library is also partnering with Deerfield schools to enhance existing curriculum. We invite
you tojoin us for a series of discussions, lectures, exhibits and other opportunities to reflect on the 60 years
since the fight to integrate Deerfield began. Programs and exhibits run from January 21-May 2,2019.

Read Without Boundaries: Vol. 2
In 2018 we launched our year-long reading program, Read Without Boundaries,
designed to challenge readers to try new authors, genres, and topics. We had such a
great response to this program, and were honored when it was selected the winner of
the 2018 Illinois Library Association Readers’ Advisory Service Award.
Because of the program’s success, we’re excited to announce that the challenge will
continue in 2019, with an opportunity for teens to participate! Each month will focus
on a different theme and participants will be provided with a suggested reading list.
Participants can choose a suggested title or another title, as long as it fits the theme of
the month. In January, we will kick off the challenge by reading a book about Illinois
histoiy or a famous Illinoisan. Stop by the Adult Services desk beginning November 14
for more information and to sign up. Prizes will be awarded monthly and those who
complete all 12 months will be entered into a grand prize drawing.

Back to School!
5 Fab E- resources
for Youth & Teens
(details on page 2)
�After the lazy days of summer and the smells of
environmentally safe sunscreen, it’s time to get back
to school. I have always ei\joyed shopping for the start
of school-picking out folders and new crayons. DPL
is a great resource for your students to help them
with their homework all year long!
I’m sure I’ve mentioned before that I grew up
appreciating libraries, learning, and books. I
remember heading to our local library so that I could
use a variety of resources, like encyclopedias,
biographies, and almanacs, to work on school reports.
I also remember taking my whole Saturday morning
to do this research, with my parents dropping me at
the library and then going through all those
resources! How much more convenient it would have
been for me, and honestly my parents, if we were able
to simply use an e-resource?
We offer a variety of online resources that supplement
our print collection. All these resources are available
with your DPL card. If it has been a while since
you’ve updated your card, stop by the library during
the 69 hours we’re open each week and the staff will
be happy to take care of that. After that, the
resources are yours to use!

DPL is your online Answer Place!

�We thought it would be interesting to share some
statistical highlights of 2017. Following the trend for
public libraries nationwide, there is a very small
decline in our total circulation. We know that our print
collection remains popular, and our e-resources
circulation continue to grow.
What I find to be most interesting is the number of
people who still choose to come to DPL. Libraries are
the one public institution that serve people of every
age. Every day, we see people who are here enjoying a
magazine or using one of the study rooms as their
office. There are plenty of students who come to do
homework, and loads of kids enjoying the vibrant Youth
Services space. We’ve taken notice, and continue to
offer more resources and programs as our budget allows.
DPL, more than books!

w Before
kindergarten
�This is the time of year when
people want to reflect on the
year that was and give back to
their community. Deerfield
Public Library has accom
plished an array of amazing
things in the past year. We have
introduced a number of new
services, such as our Digital
Media Lab, and the ability to
print 3D objects. In addition,
we’ve created a new
space with the
Baby Garden,
1,000 Cooks
Before Kindergarten = FUN!
Reading to a child can never
begin too early. 1,000 Books
Before Kindergarten is a
program designed to help you
raise a reader. Reading aloud
to your child is the best way
you can get your child ready
to read.
• Any child from birth to
Pre-K may participate. Stop
by the Youth Services Desk
to register and get a free
tote bag, your child’s log,
and a list of recommended
books.
• For every book you read
together, your child can
color in a seed on the
log sheet.
• Any book counts, whether
your child listens to it in
storytime or preschool, at
home or in the car. The
books don’t have to come
from the Library.
generously sponsored by the
Friends of the Deerfield Public
Library. We increased our
collection by offering nontraditiona! items for checkout,
such as Discovery Kits, board
games, and Wifi hotspots. We
are so proud to serve the
Deerfield community and look
forward to another exciting
year to come.
If you are looking for a unique
way to honor someone who has
contributed to the Library in
some way, I’d like to suggest
that you consider nominating
that individual for our Giving
Tree. The Giving Tree is an
initiative of the Board
of Trustees to honor
people who have given their
time and service to the success
of the Library. The Giving Tree
debuted last spring, and it is
prominently displayed in the
Lobby. If you would like to
consider honoring someone
in this way, please visit
deerfieldlibrary.org/'giving-tree.
Enjoy a warm cup of hot
chocolate and a satisfying book
this winter. I’m looking forward
to a great 2018!
Amy Falasz-Peterson
Library Director
How long will it take you to
read 1,000 books?
• 1 book a day = 3 years
• 3 books a day = 1 year
• 5 books a day = 7 months!
1,000Books is a family affair at
the Sherman house. Emily (pic
tured with her mother, Rachel)
enjoys an average of four books
a day, including while she’s at
home, in preschool, and during
Storytime at the Library. Emily
also enjoys the task of coloring
the seeds on the log sheet.
Emily’s brother, Zach, is in 1st
grade and practices his reading
skills by reading to his sister.
Emily’s father, Dave, keeps
her engaged with his special
character voices. Looking
for some suggestions to get
started? Emily recommends
The Very Hungry Caterpillar,
Ten Little Ladybugs, and the
Pinkalicious series.

A Welcome and a Look Ahead
Welcome Amy Falasz-Peterson, our new Library
Director as of July 1! Amy is learning all about our
outstanding Library — perhaps you have seen
her in the Library, in the lobby during the July
4th parade, or around town as she settles in. Amy
comes to us with nine years’ experience as Library
Director in East Peoria, Illinois. Amy has also
been an Assistant Director and Head of Reference,
experience we know will serve us well. During the
interview process, Amy impressed the Board and
Library staff with her focus on community,
outreach, customer service, and respect for the
important role libraries play in communities.
With Amy’s leadership, the Board will begin a
strategic plan this year. We will research new and
future trends in libraries, and we will ask you to
help us identify needs. Our last strategic plan
helped lead us to our renovated, larger library. It
helped identify the need for more study rooms,
more meeting spaces, and technological updates
throughout the library. After living in our new
space for two years, we are excited to make plans
for the future. Please check future Browsing
issues and our website for opportunities to
be involved.

Deerfield Library is STEAMing
What is STEAM and why is
it at the Library?
STEAM is the acronym for Science,
^technology, Engineering, Art, and
Mathematics. At the Deerfield Public
Library you’ll find STEAM throughout the
Youth Services Department’s programming.
The Library is a perfect place to introduce
and encourage your child's natural curiosity
about the world.
What type of STEAM programs
does the Library offer?
Programs with a STEAM emphasis are
offered at the Library year-round. KiDLS
(Kids in Deerfield Love Science) is our
quarterly event for the elementary school
crowd and their grown-ups. From examining
color to making our own music to learning
about Illinois’ wild mammals, we have a
great time in KiDLS!
STEAM can also be found in other programs,
such as Ready, Set, Learn offered during
the school year for preschoolers, in our
Minecraft Clubs, and in our homeschool
10
programs. Every year, the DPS 109 schools,
area preschools, other schools and
homeschoolers showcase their artwork
in the glass display cases as you enter the
youth department.
At what age is it appropriate to
introduce your child to STEAM?
“Real science begins
with childhood
curiosity, which
leads to discovery
and exploration....,f
It is never too early to encourage your child’s
exploration of the world. Whether through
a program or our books and magazines, the
Deerfield Public Library offers a myriad of
ways to engage with and enhance your child’s
curiosity. Choose a picture book, such as
ILove Bugs! by Philemon Stages, or a
nonfiction title, such as Growing Patterns:
Fibonacci Numbers in Nature by Sarah C.
Campbell, or magazines such as Ask! and
Click, and begin your journey of discovery
right here!
*Science in the Preschool Classroom:
Capitalizing on Children’s Fascination with
the Everyday World to Foster Language and
Literacy Development by Kathleen Coneczio

and Lucia French, Young Children, September
