Page 1 of 6
�Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees
Regular Meeting Minutes
March 18, 2015
was to rebuild the Reserves to about $2 million, in anticipation of future and ongoing capital improvement
needs. Mr. Rivlin also reviewed the ladder investment plan for the Reserve Fund monies at PMA.
Mr. Rivlin explained the suggested modifications to the Investment Policy. The Committee recommends
that the Board modify the policy language to better reflect the Library's investment practices, which are
more conservative than what the current policy allows.
He reviewed the Committee's discussion about
collateral. He explained that if a collateral holding drops below A quality, it must be replaced and clarified
that the A range includes A- as well as A+.
[Item 9-b was discussed here.] Mr. Simon reviewed the approval process for Board policies, noting that the
Finance Committee had already reviewed and recommends the modified wording for the Investment Policy.
c.
Recommendation to transfer $991,000 from the General Fund to the Reserve Fund
Mr. Rivlin said that the Finance Committee recommends a transfer of $991,000 from the General Fund to
the Reserve Fund.
a.
Also at this point the Board discussed reconsideration of policy approval cycle and possible revision (Agenda
item 8.f.)
Ms. Pergander reviewed the current process.
After some discussion, it was decided that when there is a special committee related to the policy topic,
such as the Finance Committee and the Investment Policy, then that committee should review the policy
first. Some policies do not relate to another particular Board Committee and those should go directly to the
Policy Committee.
MOTION: Mr. Schriftman made a motion to approve the Finance Committee recommendations, which are to:
Approve the proposed change to routing of policies.
Adopt the proposed modifications to the Investment Policy which will result in a more conservative
investment policy, and
Transfer $991,000 from the General Fund to the Reserve Fund for the purpose of rebuilding the Reserve
Fund.
Seconded by Jeff Rivlin.
Vote: 6 yes - Ken Abosch, Luisa Ellenbogen, Michael Goldberg, Jeff Rivlin, Seth Schriftman, and Ron Simon. The
motion was approved.

major fundraiser activities are the proceeds from the book donations, and a planned 5% cash-back day at a local
market. Ms. Carbine said that the Friends have $12,000 in reserves at this time, pledged to the Library. The
variety of books in the Friends' book area was discussed.

LIBRARY DIRECTOR REPORT
The Library Director, Ms. Mary Pergander, provided the following information:
a. Highlights from Director's written report
At the Library Board's request, in lieu of Goals 2015, Ms. Pergander created a list of recommended Next
Steps for the Board and new Director to consider for future efforts. Hoopla was successfully launched and
has been so popular that we will need to limit patron downloads. We are discussing implementing
NovelistSelect at the check-out stations, to further enhance the patron experience. Ms. Pergander recently
served as one of the editors for the Illinois State Library's new edition of Administrative Ready Reference, a
handy resource for Library staff and Boards. Eleven personalized collection letters were mailed in February,
and as a result $866 of materials were returned to the Library. Ms. Pergander reviewed the list of Current
Building and Furnishings Projects. Many of the projects are very low cost or covered by insurance. Two
others could cost $5 to $10 thousand dollars. There are over 18,000 uses of library cards by patrons every
month! The 2015 Blind Date with a book was a big hit with patrons. Over 90 books were selected, and 64%
of patrons liked their blind date book.
b. Director's Annual Report At the Board's request, instead of the complete annual summary often created at this time, a condensed
version featuring the highlights of the Library's accomplishments was shared with Board members.
c. Progress report on Policy Review 2015
The management team has a goal of having all Library policies reviewed and approved prior to the arrival of
the new Director. Even those without recommended changes or revised last year are being updated as
Policies 2015 for clarity and completeness. The process is proceeding smoothly, especially with the
suggested change to the Board-level review process.
d. Recommendation to create Pre-school Coordinator position in Youth services, within existing FTEs
The Board received an excellent report reviewing Preschool Outreach, created by Youth Associate Kary
Henry. Preschool Outreach, like School Liaison, and Teen Librarian, is a specific and highly active focus of
our Youth Department, and an expectation of our community. To better provide the focus needed,
management recommends the creation of Preschool Coordinator position, within existing FTEs. (There is an
FTE cap in place from pre-referendum.) This position would be parallel to and the same job-class as the
Adult Programming Coordinator, the Outreach Coordinator, and other Coordinator-type non-Librarian
positions. In addition, we would post this as Internal Recruitment Only, since it is NOT an addition to
employee count (FTE). Our Youth staff have been serving this need as well as possible - it is time to
formalize the role within the organization. (See Board motion below, in this section.)
e. Recommendation to reclassify most Library Page positions as Library Aides, due to evolving and expanded
duties
We have been using the 2014 LACONI Salary Survey for comparative purposes in evaluating and
recommending market-based changes to our salary ranges. In addition, Patron Services manager and
assistant manager have been conducting comparative studies of the types of responsibilities and tasks
performed by Pages and Clerks in other libraries. As a result, they have successfully demonstrated that the
work being performed routinely by persons classified as Pages at the Deerfield Public Library is more
consistent with work classified as Aide or Clerk in comparative libraries in the nearby area. Therefore, the
Page positions are recommended to be re-classified as Aide positions, and the wages of the persons
performing the tasks should be raised to the new salary level of the Aide job class. Their titles will also be
changed. Temporary position Pages, such as those who only perform shelving duties during the summer
months, and NOT the higher level routine tasks done by other Pages (now Aides), will continue to be paid at
the Page job class level and retain the Page title. All of this is consistent with the recommendation made for
the salary ranges and was reviewed by Mr. Abosch in advance. (See 9.a. for motion)

Update regarding art purchases made possible by Friends' donation
The "robot" prints for the Youth area have been ordered. Other art purchases have been postponed.
Update: Combination of lower level service desks and create seating area using existing furnishings
Plans to combine the two lower level service desks are proceeding. The move/combination is expected to
take place on April 20. Afterward, a seating area will be created where the Adult Service desk formerly
stood, allowing us to utilize excess furnishings from the Quiet Room, and resulting also in a rearrangement
of the Quiet Room spaces and furnishings.
Plans to honor outgoing board members on April 15
Outgoing board members will be honored with some special features at the April Board meeting. Since Ms.
Dembitz is unable to attend in April, we will plan to honor her at the May meeting if she can be available to
attend.
Reminder of orientation on April 26 and May 20 swearing in of new Board members
The planned orientation is scheduled for Saturday April 25th - correction from previous date. We will begin
at 9:15 am. The meeting should be over by noon.
May 20th is the first Board meeting for newly-elected Board members. Kent Street will be present to swear
them in.
Although the orientation will provide a financial overview, at the Board's suggestion additional Finance
Training will be scheduled at a later date
MOTION: Mr. Rivlin made a motion to approve the Preschool Coordinator position, seconded by Mr. Schriftman
Vote: All ayes. The motion was approved.

b. Update - GIVING button for donations, and related donation information
No further changes have been made.
c.
Update - Recruitment of new Library Director
Mr. Abosch said that the recruiter, Ms. Lynn Elam, had provided the following information: She is excited
about three candidates so far; two from the Chicago area and the third is from central Illinois. All have been
in high-level leadership roles. Also two other highly qualified candidates are considering the position. He
said that the total number of inquiries was not available.
Mr. Abosch said that the next step is to prepare sample writing documents and create dossiers. He
discussed the background check process and how any possible conflicts of interest should be openly
addressed. He announced that Ms. Miriam Pollack will assist with research and other background activities.
Potential meeting dates were discussed. It was suggested that the committee review candidates on April
20th, 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. May 5 was discussed for conducting interviews, and May 12th as a fall-back date,
although not all board members will be available.
d.
Follow-up regarding automatic interior doors, survey results, quotes, and possible approval
Mr. Simon reviewed the information collected by Ms. Pergander in a survey of other area libraries and
governmental buildings regarding interior assistance opening doors. He said that no local libraries provide
this option.
Mr. Abosch asked if any door besides those to the Quiet Room were being considered and it was confirmed
that those are the only doors under consideration at this time.
Page 4 of 6
�Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees
Regular Meeting Minutes
March 18, 2015
Ms. Pergander reported that the tension on the doors had been loosened, and it reduced the pressure by
about half. The members discussed ADA compliance, cost per door, other room doors, and possible
processes for obtaining assistance, if needed. It was decided that the Board has a responsibility to contact
the individual who brought the issue to their attention to see if the change made is adequate. Ms.
Pergander said she would follow-up.
e.
Update - Replacement of main electrical switch and possible insurance claim
Ms. Pergander said that the Library's insurance carrier had been contacted and will approve the claim.
There is a $1,000 deductible. It will involve closing the Library for two days to do the replacement. The
switch seems to be working at the moment. However, if the work is not scheduled, and the switch goes out,
then the Library could be closed for an extended time. There is a seven-week lead time for the necessary
parts.
MOTION: Mr. Schriftman made a motion to approve the replacement of the main electrical switch, seconded by Ms.
Luisa Ellenbogen
Vote: 6 yes - Ken Abosch, Luisa Ellenbogen, Michael Goldberg, Jeff Rivlin, Seth Schriftman, and Ron Simon. The
motion was approved.
f.
9.
Reconsideration of policy approval cycle and possible revision
This topic was discussed earlier. See 4.c. above.
NEW BUSINESS
a. Recommendation to approve new salary schedule revisions based on LACONI 2014 survey
Ms. Pergander explained the process of developing the new salary ranges. She said that she and Mr.
Abosch, a compensation professional, had then reviewed them together.
The Board members discussed the impact of the pending changes to minimum wage. It was noted that the
Page position can go up to $10 without being too compressed with Clerk/Aide range.
Mr. Abosch provided information regarding twenty-seven other states that have already adopted revised
minimum wages and said that it is still under consideration in Illinois.
MOTION: Mr. Goldberg made a motion to approve the revised salary range schedule, seconded by Ms. Luisa
Ellenbogen
Vote: 6 yes - Ken Abosch, Luisa Ellenbogen, Michael Goldberg, Jeff Rivlin, Seth Schriftman, and Ron Simon. The
motion was approved.
b.
Recommendation to approve policies reviewed by Finance Committee and recommended for Board
approval at its March 9 meeting, related to finance functions, as listed in the committee minutes
This item was discussed during the Treasurer's Report, in item 4-b.
c.
Reminder to submit letters of interest in Board officer positions prior to April meeting for May selection
Mr. Simon reviewed the process for nominating and electing Board officers. He reviewed past practices and
said that the Bylaws provide one-year terms for officers, and some officers can serve for more than one oneyear term if desired. However, the Bylaws state that the President cannot serve for more than two
consecutive one-year terms. Ms. Pergander reminded the Board members that officers will be elected in
May, after the new Board members are sworn in. At that time any of the Trustees can be nominated or
self-nominate for any office.

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.

Where to start amid the cornucopia of online resources on the Library
website? Start with Gale Virtual Reference Library (GVRL), a
compilation of authoritative reference books, journals, and articles,
all accessible through one online search.
Starting to think about holiday gifts?
Or that next big birthday or graduation?
Honor book lovers of all ages by adding
a book to the Library collection in their
name. The Library accepts donations to
purchase books for the Library as a
gift or memorial. Librarians choose
books that reflect the interests of the
honored person, and a bookplate
with that person’s name is added
to the book. More information at
deerfieldlibrary.org/giving. Stop by the
Adult or Youth desk to speak with a
librarian about your gift.
For example, has the Curiosity
Rover on Mars or The Martian
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).
3. Enter keywords “planet Mars.” Instantly! 62 results in 23 different
publications.
When you find articles of interest, you will be able to:
• Download, print, or e-mail
• Listen to the article
• Translate to another language
• Obtain citations for research papers in two formats
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,

IS Hov/ to Eat a Small Country: A Family’s Pursuit
of Happiness, One Meal at a Time
by Amy Finley
July 12,10:30 a.m. at the Patty Turner Center
When the author wins a Food Network competition
and lands her own television show, her husband
declares he does not want to be married to a
celebrity. Determined to save their already
shaky marriage, Finley instead moves her family
to France.
■ The Weird Sisters by Eleanor Brown
July 19, 7:30 p.m. at Barnes & Noble—
Deerfield Square
The Andreas sisters love reading but have little
else in common. Rose never left their hometown,
Bean lives a fast life in New York, and Cordy floats
around as a gypsy. When their mother is diagnosed
with cancer the sisters are forced to interact with
each other as a family instead of hiding behind
a book.
■ Crescent by Diana Abu-Jabar
August 9,10:30 a.m. at the Patty Turner Center
The love story of Sirine, an L.A. born, half-Arab
blonde chef and Hanif, an exiled Iraqi professor
with a mysterious past. Their story takes place
among the scents of Sirine’s cooking at a Middle
Eastern cafe. Thought- provoking and enchanting,
you will become immersed in the delightful
characters of Crescent.
■ Buddha in the Attic by Julie Otsuka
August 16, 7:30 p.m. at Barnes & Noble—
Deerfield Square
Follow the journey of eight “picture brides” who
travel by boat from Japan to San Francisco to
meet the Japanese workers they have agreed to
marry. Their stories of hope, family, culture, and
compromise span from the early 20th century to
the time of Japanese internment during World
War II.

New Look for Library
Web Site
According to a new study, Americans spend an average of 32.7
hours a week online. That’s why we’ve redesigned the
Libraiy’s ‘Virtual branch.” It’s now easier than ever for you to
use Library resources when you’re online. The new web site
features an updated calendar of Library events; recommended
web sites for adults, teens, and children; lists of bestsellers
and award-winners that take you directly into the Library’s
catalog; and online forms for asking a librarian a question.

�Message from the
Director
You’ve spoken,
and we’ve lis
tened and made
changes. If
there is a
theme to this
newsletter
issue, that is it!
Many of you have expressed frus
tration in the past over our fee
structures, limits on materials, and
renewal limits. Well, we have
dropped some of these and loos
ened up others (although they
aren’t all gone!) The goal is to give
you more of what you want and less
of what you don’t want. Read about
these changes on the front page.
We have also launched a new web
site, designed to help you find what
you are seeking more easily. We’ve
added many new features, and
more are yet to come. We hope
you’ll agree that this is a big
improvement!
During the summer months, watch
for some colorful, comfortable new
additions to the furnishings in the
Youth Services department. A few
similar touches may appear in
other departments, as well.
Although we are planning substan
tial interior improvements for the
future, we realize that a few
updates will brighten the Library
and make coming here more enjoy
able. We want to help build antici
pation for the other positive
changes to come!
Stop by and see for yourself,

In the early 1990s, the Simon family began
a memorial fund for the Library, in honor
of their daughter Amy Simon. The funds
were used primarily for certain types of
children’s books and to promote reading
for children. The fund grew over the years
as other family members contributed.
Although the fund was terminated in 2006
many children’s books continued to
receive the memorial nameplate. Today,
there are dozens of these titles. To show
appreciation for the Simon family’s gen
erosity through the years, the Youth
Services department recently created a
special display of some of the Simon Fund
memorial books, which are available for
check-out. The display, updated regularly,
will run through May 2008.

Message from the
Director
Spring is the time
.
when all things
;
come alive again,
including the
Library! We have
already been hum

School District 109 kindergarten

Boys and Reading:
What’s the Problem? What’s the Solution?
Parents and teachers concerned with the question, “How can we get
boys to read?" will want to hear award-winning author Marc
Aronson’s answers. Aronson believes the key to helping boys succeed
at reading is to find out what interests them. He says, “But we do the
opposite. We treat reading as novel reading and tell boys who like
facts, battles, sports magazines, websites, or fantasy that they are not
readers.” In this presentation, Dr. Aronson shows how to build
bridges to reading by seeing boys for who they are.
Monday, March 10, 7 p.m. Space is limited.
Author Marc
Aronson
To make reservations, please call 847-945-3311.
We also take special pleasure in bring
ing the Library out into the community.
With “One Book, One Zip Code,” we are
doing just that! In cooperation with our
community partners (see accompanying
article), One Book programs will occur
in convenient locations throughout the
three-village area. Our Friends group
has been pursuing service outside the
Library, as well. Their popular paper
back bookrack at the train station
provides entertaining reading materials
even for those too busy to squeeze in a
visit to the Library.
Speaking of squeezing into the
Library...
Many of you have begun to ask if there
are plans for the building itself. As
reported in thz Deerfield Review, we
love our downtown location in the
heart of the community. We are cur
rently exploring ways to reconfigure
and refresh the space we have and
considering a possible addition that
would increase our ability to meet
changing community needs and
interests. What can we do for YOU?
This program is a part ofDeerfield Public Library’s Reading Warriors grant. Fundingfor this
grant was awarded by the Illinois Slate Library a division of the Office ofSecretary ofState\ using
funds provided by the Institute ofMuseum and Library Services, under thefederal Library

One Book, One Zip Code
2008: Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder
Community-wide reading programs like “One Book, One Chicago” are becoming popu
lar across the country and around the world. Last year, representatives from Deerfield,
Bannockburn, and Riverwoods began planning our first One Book program. The title

tial health care options for the poor. Inspiring and

issues of poverty, health care, and international aid.

Do things look a little brighter around the
Library? We have completed the upgrade of
our fluorescent lighting and exit signs to more
energy-efficient (and brighter) types. This
project will result in about 30% energy savings
for lighting. The Library is receiving reim
bursement of over $10,000 for the project
through the Illinois Clean Energy
Foundation grant first announced last fall.

Message from the Director
Some folks say that
winter is the dull
season, but not at
Deerfield Public
*
Library! We’re
ablaze with all the
possibilities we envi
sioned when our Library Board and
management team met recently to dis
cuss service expectations and emerging
trends in society. Now, we are using
what we learned to plan for an exciting
transformation.
■
One trend we are addressing is the desire
for convenient, personalized services. You
want your library resources and services
available when you need them, not just
when we are open. Now, you can place
your own holds, request e-mail notifica
tion about library materials, and down
load e-audiobooks. You can even have
program updates, new titles in your
choice of interests, and the New York
Times Bestseller List e-mailed to you! Not
sure how? We’ll be happy to get you started.
We shared the news about new Library
services this fall at many community
events. A presentation to the Chamber of
Commerce, booths at Community Services
Day and the 50+ Expo, visits to the high
school, and support of Arts & Riverwoods
are just a few examples of our ongoing
involvement in our community.
Throughout this newsletter you’ll read
how partnerships with local organizations
and businesses also have helped create
new grant opportunities and a communi
ty-wide book discussion. We aren’t just
joiners—we’re doers! Invite us to YOUR
next community event!

New Year’s Evolution
What have we resolved to do even better in the New Year? The Deerfield Public
Library wants to exceed your expectations! We are creating new ways to serve
the community, and we’re enhancing the Library collections and services that
you and your families tell us you love. Some of the innovations you will notice
right away are an expanded Multimedia department, “Reading Warriors: A Guys
Read Program” for boys in 3rd - 5th grade, and “One Book, One Zip Code,” a
community-wide reading program for adults.
Multimedia Department
Did you know that Deerfield Public Library patrons checked out almost as many
discs and DVDs as books last year? The Library is responding to this demand for
audiovisual materials by increasing staff and services in its new Multimedia
department.
You’ll find
• More staff members specially trained to
answer your questions about movies,
music, and more
• Reclassified CDs to make finding the
right items easier than ever (Next, we’ll
reclassify the audiobooks and separate
them into fiction and nonfiction.)
• New formats—including *Wii games,
*Playaways, and *downloadables
• Multiple copies of popular items
• Musical scores and media-related
magazines
*MediaSpeak
Wii: Nintendo’s most recent video
game console, distinguished by its
wireless controller
Playaways: Portable MP3 players
preloaded with one audiobook each
Downloadables: Text or audio files
that can be downloaded to your
computer and enjoyed at home or
transferred to a portable device
Reading Warriors: A Guys Read Program
Girls continued to outperform boys in reading this year, according to a recent
national study. Deerfield Public Library wants to address that trend and encour
age reading and library use among elementary school boys next year, with pro
grams and services supported by a Library Services and Technology Act grant of
$2,876. The Library will use funds awarded to “Reading Warriors: A Guys Read
Program” to survey boys in 3rd—5th grades on their reading preferences; offer a
workshop led by an expert on boys’ literacy for parents and teachers; and
increase the number of “boy-friendly” books, booklists, and programs the Library
provides.
�Adult Programs
Programs are free and open to the public. Please register in advance by calling 847-945-3311.

Dear Neighbor:
This past year, a group of volunteers formed The
Friends of the Deerfield Public Library, a not-forprofit organization dedicated to enriching the
library’s materials, services and programs. Our
first project is to raise $1,200 to purchase
Playaways, ready-to-go digital audiobooks which
are about the size of a deck of cards.
Our group has been involved in several activities
to establish our presence in the community. To
introduce ourselves to the community and provide
information about our group, we assisted the
Library with several of their events. We maintain
the book spinner at the Deerfield Train Station,
which has provided hundreds of free used books
to commuters. In September we had a booth at
the Farmer’s Market and at Deerfield Community
Days. In addition, we recently assumed responsi
bility for the sale and maintenance of the
ongoing used book sale at the Library.
Please help us in our efforts to assist the
Deerfield Public Library by becoming an annual
member of the Friends for $15 or more. We
welcome and appreciate all donations. Your gift
is tax-deductible as allowed by law.
THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND OF THE
DEERFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY!

Income Tax Forms
Why was the Library closed?
A limited number of the most-used tax forms
for individuals will be available in the Libraiy
beginning in January. Get all federal forms at
imw.irs.gov or by phoning 1-800-TAX-FORM
(1-800-829-3676). Get all Illinois forms at
iwow.tax.illinois.gov or by phoning
1-800-356-6302. Small-business owners and anyone
needing multiple copies of forms should place
orders directly with the federal or state govern
ment for home delivery. Income tax assistance will
be available from IRS-trained AARP volunteers at
the Library from 1 - 4 p.m. on Tuesdays and
Fridays from February 1 through April 15.
We realize it is inconvenient for you when we are
closed and you need us. From time to time, we
close in order to provide staff training that can
help us better serve you. For example, last June
we learned about fire safety and practiced using
fire extinguishers! In October, all employees had
an orientation to our basic reference services and
also learned the steps we will follow to transition
to a new automation system next year. We try to
keep closures to a minimum and to use the time
wisely in ways that ultimately will benefit you.

�Across the Librarian’s Desk
There was a strange stillness. The
birds, for example where had they
gone? Many people spoke of them,
puzzled and disturbed. The feeding
stations in the backyards were
deserted. The few birds seen any
where were moribund; they trem
bled violently and could not fly. It
was a spring without voices. On the mornings that had
once throbbed with the dawn chorus of robins, catbirds,
doves, jays, wrens, and scores of other bird voices
there was now no sound; only silence lay over the fields
and woods and marsh. So began opening passages in
Rachel Carson’s 1962 classic, cautionary, tale Silent
Spring. The message of that book was immediate and
lasting: what man does to alter his environment can
sow the seeds of a terrible harvest. That book detailed
the inexorability, precision, and terrible lasting price of
unintended consequences.
Those lines were recalled to me late this summer when
my neighbors and I realized that the chorus of birds our
neighborhood had always enjoyed was silent. Gone were
the sparrows, the crows, the blue jays and robins, gone
were almost all the birds except ones passing through.
No longer was I awakened to the raucous caws of a
family of crows that frequented my backyard, no more
brazen blue jays. In fact no birds at all. The cause is, of
course, the West Nile Virus. Illinois leads the nation in
human cases of the illness and in the number of deaths
attributed to it. For reasons seemingly unknown to sci
ence, Illinois is the epicenter of this new and baffling
illness and the first to fall are our friends the birds. As
Rachel Carson had so accurately predicted, the birds
acted as the barometer of the health of the environ
ment.
Well-meaning voices have been raised to resurrect the
use of DDT—one of the most dangerous and persistent
poisons ever devised by man—as a possible cure.
One can only ponder if the old vaudeville punch line
wouldn’t literally be true: the proposed cure being
worse than the disease. I have watched through late
summer and now into fall for a return of the birds to my
yard. A few have come, but are quickly gone, and no
crow caws for my arising. Over the years hundreds and
hundreds of sparrows have called my backyard home
and my birdfeeder their Sunset Foods. I have housed,
fed, and nurtured a sprawling family of sparrows in my
yard for twenty-five years. This spring there were brood
after brood of new hatchlings in that birdhouse—the
insistent peeping announcing a new brood and the exit
of the fledglings.
Recently, I started to clean out my bird houses as I do
every fall—so that next year’s birds will have a clean
start on their child rearing. The wren house was empty,
the second general purpose house always cherished by
starlings was too. But the home place for my sparrows
brought upset. Amidst all the string, and feathers, and
sticks, and fluff there were the little abandoned
nests—forlorn in their vacancy. The final nest brought
sorrow. In it were three tiny shriveled, mummified,
sparrow nestlings and three unhatched eggs. The birds I
carefully buried in my flower garden along with two
cracked eggs. The third egg, perfect, speckled in mot
tled gray, white and brown. I put it in a finch’s nest I
had brought home from a backpacking trip of forty
years ago. I don’t know why.
This seems like a fall to reflect on unintended conse
quences and the price to be paid for our folly, hubris, or
ignorance. Those little dead birds broke my heart. I had
not had the good sense to realize that West Nile could
strike so quickly as to kill the parents in mid-flight. The
victims of our stupidity are always the tiny, the power
less, the innocent. The solutions I will leave to better
minds. But as Rachel Carson warned—it is always a dis
aster to rush headlong to conclusions, to push for solu
tions that may destroy more than they save, or to trust
loud voices more than good sense. Too many lessons, it
seems, get forgotten.

Classes Offered
Back by popular demand, the
Reference Department will
offer a one hour class on how
to use three of the library’s
electronic resources: the online
catalog, the gateway to busi
ness information, periodical
articles and telephone directo
ry, and an introduction to the
Internet.
The one- visit class will be
offered a variety of days and
times in September, October
and November. Each class is
limited to four people.
Registration and tickets are
required.
We are Proud
Deerfield resident Sarah Long,
Director of the North Suburban
Library System (NSLS) has
been elected president of the
57,000 member American
Library Association.
William Seiden, our library
board treasurer, has been elect
ed vice president of the board
of the NSLS.
Library employees Mary
Munday (Fiction Department)
and Taryn Nolen (Youth Ser
vices) have been awarded
scholarships from the Illinois
State Library to pursue gradu
ate degrees in Library Science.
Renovation Celebration!
Our newsletter and our library have a new look this fall! Plan to attend our star- studded
lineup of adult fall programs to celebrate our main floor renovation. When our videos
were in storage during renovation we realized how much our patrons enjoy movie enter
tainment. So we celebrate our “new look” with the STAR* theme during September and
October!
Join us for kickoff speaker tv personality Deerfield’s own Joel Weisman at 7 pm on
September 9 (reservations required). Our fall celebration series includes prizes, refresh
ments, music, a surprise “movie star” guest and entertaining programs. See page two for
star studded program details. Tell us your top five favorite movies and you’ll have a
chance to win free movie passes and free library (new) rental videos.
Focus on Youth Services Department
Now that the finishing touches are being put on the main floor renovation, architect Scott
Javore, the board and the staff are setting sights on renovation of the Youth Services
Department. Newly appointed department head Chris Kopeck said, “I am very excited
about the upcoming renovation. We are planning to keep the department child friendly,
but also make it more inviting for young adult patrons. We plan to separate the young
adult fiction and will be adding a study carrel and window seats. We will be increasing
shelf space in both the picture book room and the juvenile area. New carpeting and bright
colors will highlight the room. We will also be doubling the number of display cases. The
department will remain open during renovation, offering the same quality service, and we
want to thank patrons in advance for their patience.”
Chris Kopeck was selected from among several candidates for
the position of Head of the Youth Services Department. She
holds her Master’s Degree in Library Science from University
of Illinois and worked in a public library in Orlando, Florida
prior to being hired as a children’s librarian in Deerfield a year
ago. “Over the past year, the community has made me feel wel
come” she said, “and I look forward to serving them in this new
capacity. If you have comments or suggestions about improving
service, please talk to me or put a note in the suggestion box at
the front desk.”
