A recent study of
north suburban
libraries demon
strated that usage I—
is up at nearly all libraries. This
trend is repeated across the
United States. At Deerfield Public
Library, circulation this year is
running over 22% ahead of the
same period last year, and nearly
55% higher than the same period
two years ago! At this rate, we
expect to reach the level of
500,000 items checked out annually
within the next year or so. Many of
you have commented about the
increased level of activity in the
Library, and we are seeing
increased usage via our Web-based
services from home and other
places as well. We hope you feel
the same pride we do in the
popularity of your hometown
library.

Library Remodeling Update
On September 22, 2009, about 30 people attended an information session about the
Library’s recent space needs assessment and facility analysis. The questions posed,
and the Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees and architect responses are
available on our Web site. The Board appreciated the many thoughtful interactions
that took place, and invites others to comment as well.
Recently, the Board engaged Ehlers and Associates to help evaluate the Library’s
current financial status, expected cash flow for the future, possible future financial
needs, and possible sources of funds for the proposed project. The Board is taking
the current economic climate and other factors into consideration as part of the
planning process.
One Book, One Zip Code
The 2010 “One Book, One Zip Code” selection for adults
and high school students is Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi.
Satrapi’s award-winning memoir of growing up during
Iran’s Islamic Revolution is a graphic novel, laid out and
illustrated like a comic book. Her charming black and
white illustrations help the reader see the countiy’s
dramatic changes. The constant “but, why?” of childhood
is the perfect vehicle for exploring the world-changing
events of 1980s Iran.
This is the third year for the “One Book, One Zip Code” pro
gram. Previously, the communities of Bannockburn,
Deerfield, and Riverwoods came together to discuss
Mountains Beyond Mountains and Listening Is an Act ofLove.
This spring, “One Book, One Zip Code” partners will once again provide readers
with opportunities to come together at locations throughout the community for
discussions, lectures, films, and other interactive events related to the book. Learn
more at www.onebookonezipcode.org.
If your book group is interested in reading Persepolis, a trained book group leader
from the Deerfield Public Library can come to your group for free to lead the discussion.
Call Karen Kleckner at (847) 580-8950 for more details.

Message from the Director
It’s the little things...
Can you guess the patron
comment I receive most
often? It is the request
for drive-up book drops
outside the Library. In
writing, via phone, or
email, even at social or
business gatherings, someone always mentions
this highly desired convenience. Well, our
Library Trustees and staff members have heard
this request loud and clear, and found a way to
provide it. By the time you read this, there
should be two drive-up drop boxes near the front
entrance to the Library—one for books, and one
for all types of audio-visual materials. I look
forward to receiving your comments about them!
We continue to listen. Our Board members
are going to be available in our lobby and other
public places such as the Farmers Market from
time to time. We hope you’ll stop by and
say hello.
We soon will be holding public sessions to
solicit your feedback about the findings of the
space needs and architectural review of our
building. This will be the opportunity for
residents across the community to have a
voice in the future plans for the Library. Please
consider participating.
We know it takes time to turn dreams and
ideas into reality, so we continue to test ideas
and learn from them. One example is the Teen
area we are creating, adjacent to the
Multimedia collections. We will use what we
learn there to plan even better spaces and
services for teens in the future.
Here is one thing you won’t have long to
wait for—at the end of the summer we will
launch our new automation system. More about
its features and conveniences are detailed in
this edition. We think you’ll be amazed! Our
staff members will help you test-drive the
system at the Library or from home, so you can
make full use of its features.
We are constantly looking for ways to serve
you better. We hope you believe we are
succeeding.
New Library Catalog Helps You Find Your Way!
Find everything you need in the Library’s new
online catalog of books, movies, magazine
articles, and more. The new catalog “goes live”
on August 18. Whether you are in the Library or
surfing from home, you can er\joy this fast, easy
resource on any computer at any time.
The new catalog looks and acts much like what
you find on your favorite retail sites. You can
see book covers and reviews, ei\joy one-click
searching of other area libraries, and sign up to
receive alerts when new items of interest arrive
at the Library. We want to reward your explor
ing. Beginning August 18 you can use your Deerfield Public Library card to
enter an online drawing for a GPS navigation system. If you haven’t used your
Library card in a while, you may need to re-register at our Circulation desk.
Please bring one piece of identification with your current address and we’ll be
happy to update your account.
In order to successfully move from one catalog to another, the Library will be
closed all day Sunday, August 16 and Monday, August 17. Please do not return
materials between Thursday, August 13 and Thursday, August 20. Loan periods
will be extended on all items that would normally be due during that week.
Architectural Review Progress Report
The Deerfield Public Library Board has engaged PSA-Dewberry, an
architectural and engineering firm, to evaluate our current Library and
report the findings to the board and community. The process includes:
• assessing the current building structure and systems,
• conversing (focus groups) with representative members of the community,
staff, and board about perceived current and future needs,
• evaluating space needs and trends in libraries, and
• comparing our library building, staffing, circulation and other key
measurements with peer libraries serving similarly sized populations.
A preliminary report of the building found that the structure appears solid,
although the building systems need significant upgrades or replacement. In
addition, building codes have changed since the 1970s when the current
Library was built. The architects expect to finish the current space needs
assessment and report to the board, staff, and community by summer. We
plan to hold public sessions to review the architects’ findings and recommen
dations, and to solicit your feedback. Afterward, the Library Board will
determine any next steps that may take place.

Help Keep Your Children Safe
The Deerfield Public Library makes every effort to provide a safe, comfortable
environment for all patrons. However, parents and caregivers should keep in mind
that, just like the grocery store or a public park, the Libraiy is open to the general
public. For the safety of all children who visit the Library, we ask for your support
and cooperation.
Teen Study Lounge
Saturday, June 6 - Tuesday, June 9
High school students looking for a place
to study for exams can make themselves
at home in the Library’s Meeting Room
during finals week. The Library will pro
vide large tables for group study, snacks
and beverages, improved Wi-Fi access,
and help using the Library’s extensive
collection of print and online resources.
For your child’s safety:
• Children 8 years of age and younger must be accompanied and directly
supervised by a responsible caregiver who assumes full accountability for the
children’s safety and behavior in the Libraiy.
• It is recommended that children between 9 and 11 years of age be accompanied
by an adult or older sibling who is at least 12 years of age when visiting
the Library.
• Children age 12 or younger who are not picked up by closing time may be
placed, for their protection, in the custody of the police.

Matt Warnock, Circulation Manager
Matt was promoted to Circulation Manager in April. He first joined us a year
ago as a part-time Circulation Clerk, in addition to his full-time job in the
publishing industry. Matt’s previous retail experience also helped prepare
him for this role. In his free time, he is “plotting” to write a novel.
Rebecca Wolf, Head of Automation
—Illinois
As our former Circulation Manager, Rebecca’s strong technology and people
skills led to her role as project manager for our new automation system and
the development of a strategy for updating our computer hardware.
Implementing those projects and strategies has become a full- time job!
