�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

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.

Desk and online at deerlieldlibrary.org/

Community and Cooperation
It’s been a busy first
three months! I’ve
been so touched by
the community support
and welcome.. .thank
you for making me feel
like I’m home.
I might be new to the Deerfield
community but I have been actively
involved in Illinois libraries since 2000.
I began my Illinois library career at the
Galesburg Public Library. There I got
first-hand knowledge of all that Illinois
libraries have to offer. I became involved
in programs with the Illinois State
Library, Illinois Library Association, and
the regional library system.
While the first part of my career was
spent in the central part of the state,
I am struck by the similarities of local
libraries and the value placed on
resource sharing. With your valid
Deerfield library card, you are able
to use it at local libraries through a
cooperative agreement. If you can’t find
a particular title in our catalog, you can
always search our LINKin catalog, which
provides access to area library catalogs.
This material is delivered here and
you can come by to pick it up from our
self-service Holds shelf. Ask our helpful
staff in Patron Services if you have any
questions about it!
Communities are incredibly passionate
about their public library and Deerfield
is no exception. Please feel free to con
tact me with any questions or concerns
you may have.

Starting to think about holiday gifts?

Honor book lovers of all ages by adding
a book to the Library collection in their

with that person’s name is added
to the book. More information at
deerfieldlibrary.org/giving. Stop by the

movie piqued your interest in
the red planet? Research is as easy as...
1. Visit deerfieldlibrary.org/online-resources, scroll down and click on
“Gale Virtual Reference Library.”*
2. Enter your library card # (this is your password).

• Listen to the article
• Translate to another language

It won’t take long to figure out how to make the most of this rich
resource. If you need help, ask a librarian either in person,
