Looking back
moving forward
•
•
Deerfield Public Library started the year full
of anticipation about moving to a temporary
site (not even identified until February!) and
getting our building project underway on
time. Although we are in a temporary
location, people have definitely found us!
Total check-outs for all types of materials are
in line with the growth we’ve experienced
these past two years—and we circulate about
490,000 items a year. Free downloads of
Libraiy e-books first doubled, then tripled
during that time! Due to our space
limitations, we are offering fewer programs
than usual, but staples like book discussion
groups for adults and storytimes for children
are in full swing. All in all, community
members are using the Library —including
our expanded online services—as much
as ever.
One of the statistics we don’t like to see
rising is the number of unattended children.
Libraries are public places, and it is safest
(and required) for all children under the age
of nine to be in the direct care of a
responsible adult at all times. We increasingly
find children as young as 18 months
wandering alone, without an adult. This now
happens up to 40 times a month, up from a
low of sue times per month! If you have, or
care for, young children at the Library,
please keep them with you at all times.
Overall, 2012 has been a very successful year
for us, and we deeply appreciate your support
through it all. We look forward to
presenting you with the remodeled,
expanded, and fully stocked Library in
June of 2013. Until then, you can find us at
our temporaiy location and online. We hope
to have the pleasure of serving you veiy soon.

“I didn’t
know that!”
We asked staff to give us the inside track on some frequently over-looked and
under-used Libraiy resources. You may be surprised!
Y\ Kay P., Adult Services: “Ifyou’re lookingfor good
, V recommendations for books, DVDs, and CDs, simply
type 'Staff Picks’ into the Library’s catalog. Click on a
fwL\ mie, scroll down to 'Community Reviews’ and read
Vmk
why this selection made the list. ”
Claudette O., Patron Services:
“Patrons often ask us if we have a
record of the books they’ve read. While the
Library doesn’t keep any records of material that has
been checked out and returned, there is a feature under
'My Account ’ on our website that does give the patron
an option to save their own history. Just log in, click
on the 'My Reading History’ icon and 'opt in’ to the
history option. The history beginsfrom the date the patron opts in,
but should keep the ‘Have I read this one?’ down to a minimum in
thefuture!”

will be judged based on creativity,
design and the message communicated.

Message from the Dii’ector
Building project update
As this newsletter goes to
print, we continue to
evaluate possible sites for
our temporary location,
including creating
preliminary floor plans to
test for suitability, and
exploring lease rates and conditions. Once
the final location is agreed upon and the
lease signed, we will make only the minimal
changes necessary to meet building codes
and make the spaces usable for our
purposes. Nothing fancy! We will also obtain
a special use permit from the Village to
operate the site as a temporary Library.
*r*»;*'m
LAV
Our move from the current building to an
interim site is planned for late spring. Some
meeting room functions and programs will
be curtailed around mid-December, as we
begin packing and preparing for the move.
Be assured that as soon as we know where
we’re going to be, we’ll let the community
know all the details, including—
importantly—how we will continue to
provide great service.
We’re also moving forward with the
renovation of the current Library, including
making final design decisions for the
interior, selecting the color palette with
floor and wall finishes, and creating
construction drawings for the project. We
have selected Mortenson as the
Construction Management firm.
You can follow our progress on our website
and Facebook, or by attending our board
meetings. Please see our website for dates,
times, locations, and prior board meeting
minutes, too.

E-book Collection E-xpands
The demand for e-books is skyrocketing, and we are making
a^ustments to better serve you. For example, we are
dedicating more dollars to extra copies of titles for which
there are long waiting lists, and ONLY Deerfield cardholders
will be eligible for those added copies. This will lessen the
time our patrons spend waiting for a popular e-book. We will
also temporarily adjust our materials budget while we are in
the small temporary space to purchase additional e-books to
meet demand.

Book Discussions
((l LOVED this book!”
December 8,10:30 a.m.
What better way to end the year than by discussing our faves—the books
we read this year that we loved, that we couldn’t put down, the books that
we told our family and friends that they HAD to read? Please come
prepared to talk about the book—or books—that you loved.
Looking ahead, the Library’s book discussions will be taking a hiatus this
winter as we prepare for our move to the temporary location. Please watch
for information about the dates and locations when the book discussions
resume in the spring. If you are interested in participating in an online
book discussion, please contact Melissa at reference@deerfieldlibrary.org.
Ask Us via Text or Instant Message
You can now contact the reference desk via text and instant message (IM), in
addition to phone or email. Text and IM are perfect for resolving quick factoid
spats like who was Harry Truman’s vice president, what was the name of that
book about the circus magicians or answering that last minute question before
book club. Send an instant message straight from our home page or text us at
847-790-4TXT (4898). We look forward to hearing from you—no matter how you
get in touch!
Want the First Season of Bones? Get it All-in-One!
Have you ever looked for the latest season of your favorite show only to find that
disc one was checked out? This fall we started packaging television seasons
together rather than splitting discs into individual cases for checkout, so you
won’t miss an episode! As always, we welcome your feedback about this and any
other changes here at the Library.
Meeting Room News
Our busy meeting rooms are going to be put to a different use while we gear up
for the move to the interim site. Because both the large meeting room and the
lower level conference room need to be dedicated to staging, sorting, and
storage of moving materials, we have reluctantly decided that we won’t be able
to take reservations for meetings held after December 15th.
Our apologies to all the homeowners associations, non-profit, civic and
educational groups, boy scouts, girl scouts and more that keep our meeting
rooms hopping. We’ll look forward to seeing you back in our newly refurbished
meeting space in 2013!

ones? Join us for an hour that will make this
150th anniversary year local and personal. A
partner program of the Library and the Deerfield
Area Historical Society. □
Who Knows What Evil Lurks
in the Hearts of Men???
If you already know the answer to
that question—or if you want to—
check out the Radio Classics
available as e-audiobooks at the
Library. It’s easy:
1. Go to the Library’s home page
and type in Radio Classics in the Search field.
2. In the Format box on the left side of the page,
click on e-audiobooks.
3. When you make your selection, click on the
information located to the right of the first
arrow underneath the title. It will take you to
My Media mall where you can start
downloading to your computer or other device.
If you need help downloading, stop by the
Reference or Multimedia Desks for help!
�Go Beyond Google
• • •
Sometimes, you just need more information—or you need to be sure that the
information you're getting is accurate, current and reliable—than the
results of an “I’m feeling lucky” Google search. Here are two true stories
featuring websites recommended by ourfully-qualified research
professionals, also known as Reference Libranans!
MedlinePlus
Recently, I had a patron ask for information on diabetes. The patron was just diagnosed
and looking for reliable information but without all the medical jargon. In addition to our
books (located in non-fiction, call #616.462), I introduced the patron to my favorite go-to
place for medical information, medlineplus.gov. I love this site for several reasons. First,
it is specifically written for patients, their families, and friends creating one of the most
easily understood medical information sites out there. Second, it is produced by the
National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health making it one of
the most reliable places to obtain information about diseases, conditions, and other
medical issues.
MedlinePlus has three very helpful sections, “Health Topics”, “Drugs & Supplements” and
“Videos and Cool Tools”. “Health Topics” is like an encyclopedia and provides an overview
of the topic including symptoms, treatments, prevention and much more. The “Drugs &
Supplements” section answers questions about why a medication would be prescribed and
how it should be used. The “Video and Cool Tools” portion offers interactive tutorials and
videos regarding specific topics. After reviewing these segments, the patron was thrilled
with the information we discovered! This resource provided the patron with an easy to
understand explanation of diabetes without dumbing down the information. As a bonus,
the patron felt much more confident about what questions to ask the doctor during the
next visit.
CNET
AARP Tax-Aide Moves to
the Patty Turner Center
AARP Tax-Aide—a free tax help
service the Library has hosted for
many years—will relocate to the
Patty Turner Center as the Library
begins its own relocation to an
interim site. Starting February 3,
IRS certified volunteers for the
AARP will be on hand every
Tuesday and Friday through
April 13 from 1-4 p.m. at the
Patty Turner Center, 375 Elm
Street, 847-9404010. You don’t
need to be an older adult, a member
of the AARP, or the Patty Turner
Center to receive assistance. Please
bring copies of last year’s returns
and all tax forms you receive (W-2s,
1099s, etc.). Please call the Patty
Turner at 847-9404010 starting
Monday, January 30, to make
an appointment.
A patron needed some help choosing a tablet computer. She was going on vacation and
needed something that would allow her to watch a movie on the plane, check her e-mail,
and read an e-book, and it still had to fit in her bag. After taking a look at Consumer
Reports online (available free to Deerfield cardholders on the Library’s website), I
introduced her to CNET.com, a website known for its technology reviews and how-tos. She
watched videos of tablet shopping tips and reviews, compared web speed and battery life
of different models, and read thoughtful reviews from CNET editors. She was able to
search through the list of tablets by price range, manufacturer, screen size, and more. She
found two that she really liked and she was going to see what they looked like in person at
the store. She was a happy camper!
CNET is a great way to stay up-to-date with technology. They review everything from cell
phones to GPS systems to digital cameras. Their video reviews are especially informative,
since they spend time going over the whole device, showing off all the buttons and
demonstrating how it actually works. They also offer a lot of information and advice on
what to purchase and how to use it in your daily life. It’s an interactive website with
videos, podcasts, and more traditional articles. They invite readers to post comments and
suggestions, so there’s plenty of real-world feedback as well. The website can seem a little
busy, with all of the different information they’re sharing, but they do make it easy to
search by category or by reviews, videos, and how-tos. I would definitely recommend this
website to anyone interested in up-to-date tech reviews and information, and especially
for people who get more from watching reviews than reading them.
Toys for Tots
Drop off new, unwrapped toys in the
Toys for Tots collection box in the
Library lobby now through
December 15th. This annual drive,
sponsored by the U.S. Marine Corps
Reserve, has been putting smiles on
the faces of needy youngsters for
over 60 years.. .be a part of it!
Hint: Books make GREAT giftsfor
kids of any age!

�Library Improvement
Plan FAQ
Q: How are “green” practices and
energy-saving features being
incorporated into the Library
Improvement Project?
The Library—staff and Trustees—and
the professionals at PSA Dewberry, are
all committed to making the renovated
building as green as possible. Here’s a
list of items already incorporated in
the plan:
• We will monitor construction
activities for possible pollution in
and around the site.
• Additional green spaces will be
added to the parking lot.
• Many native and drought tolerant
plants will be used in landscaping.
• There will be secure bike racks near
the building to encourage
fewer cars.
• To reduce heat-island effect the roof
has a high solar-reflectance index.
• The interior lighting will be light
harvesting and occupant-sensing.
• Restroom fixtures will be low-flow.
• We will allocate space for increased
recycling.
• Where possible, building products
and finishes will incorporate
recycled materials.
• Where appropriate, building
materials and products will come
from within 500 miles of the site.
• Adhesives, sealants, primers, paints,
etc. will be low in volatile organic
compounds.
• Where possible, flooring and
furnishings will be low-emitting as
well.
• The design team includes LEED
professionals in architecture,
engineering, and interior design.
What Are Friends For?
2012 Rosemary Sazonoff Writing Contest
Sponsored by
The Friends of the Deerfield Public Library
The Rosemary Sazonoff Writing Contest is a Deerfield “exclusive,” as was the
well-known local writer and Library Trustee the contest honors and remembers.
This year, thanks to the generous sponsorship of the Friends of the Deerfield
Public Library, we’ve refreshed and energized this 16 year Library tradition with
several new interesting ideas, including new prizes, a great theme and more.
But first, like all good news stories, let’s start with the facts:
• Theme: “What Are Friends For?”
• Entry forms for both adults and children will be available February 1st at the
