Getting the Most for
Your Money
"
si. «.»>" ’
Each winter, many of us gaze longingly
at travel brochures full of all-inclusive
resorts and cruises in balmier climates.
I once had the pleasure of traveling with
all my transportation, food, and
activities covered by my prepaid fees.
All I had to do was indulge to my heart’s
content. Recalling that adventure, I
realized that, for our tax payers,
Deerfield Public Library is like an
all-inclusive vacation for the mind,
complete with Master’s-degreed
“personal trainer” Librarians!
Your annual library taxes cover your
year-long enjoyment of books, movies,
and music, of course. And there is wo
extra charge for computer classes,
one-on-one lessons, musical
entertainment, cooking demonstrations,
lectures, use of our meeting spaces and
study rooms, unlimited use of computers
and laptops, Wi-Fi for all your devices,
premium-subscription databases, and so
much more. And that’s just on-site!
What music are you in the mood to listen to today? Whether it is Adele, Pharrell
Williams, Sarah Vaughan or Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Deerfield Public Library
cardholders can now download music from thousands of artists directly to their
computers, tablets, and phones.
Our Virtual Libraiy offers you all day, all
night access to many of the features
above, as well as downloadable books,
audiobooks, magazines, music, and an
expanding array of services.
The Library is offering free downloads through Freegal Music,
which provides access to over seven million songs, including
Sony Music Entertainment’s catalog of legendary artists.
Remember: There are no added fees to
ei\joy these. ALL of it is covered by your
Libraiy taxes, which account for 3.8% of
your total real estate tax bill.
With your Library card, you can download three songs a week and stream
three hours of music a day.
Songs can be transferred into existing playlists in iTunes and GooglePlay. No due
dates, no expirations - keep your songsforever■!
Are you getting the most for your money?
Stop by and let us show you all the

The Lowland by Jhumpa Lahiri
Monday, January 26, 7:30-8:45pm
Set in both India and America, this is a tale of two brothers bound by
tragedy, a fiercely brilliant woman haunted by her past, a country tom by
revolution, and a love that lasts long past death. Born just fifteen months
apart, Subhash and Udayan Mitra are inseparable brothers, but they are
also opposites, with gravely different futures ahead. Suspenseful and
sweeping, The Lowland is an engrossing family saga and a story steeped in
history that spans generations and geographies with seamless authenticity.
Burial Rites by Hanna Kent
Thursday, January 8, 10:30-1 1:30am
Set ainst Iceland's stark
landscape, Hannah Kent
brings to vivid life the story
of Agnes, who, charged with
the brutal murder of her
former master, is sent to
an isolated farm to await
execution. Horrified at the
prospect of housing a
convicted murderer, the family at first
avoids Agnes. Only T ti, a priest Agnes
has mysteriously chosen to be her
spiritual guardian, seeks to understand
her. But as Agnes's death looms, the
farmer's wife and dauqhters learn there
is another side to the sensational story
they've heard.

2014 Tax Forms
@ the Library
Tax forms will be provided at the
Library on a first-come, first-served
basis. Due to the declining popularity
of paper forms, the volume of tax
forms provided to the Library by the
Internal Revenue Service has
decreased, and that pattern is
expected to continue. Please feel free
to call the Library or visit the website
to check on the availability of
specific tax forms. The website will
list all the forms we have received,
and contact information for the IRS
should patrons need documents we
do not carry. The Library will also
print reasonable amounts of tax
forms for free. Large quantities of
forms or instruction packets can be
printed for a fee of 10 cents per page.
Ready to start work on your
family tree? The popular
genealogy resource,
Ancestiy.com, is now available at
the Library. The collection
includes individuals from North
America, United Kingdom,
Europe, Australia, and beyond.
Ancestry delivers billions of
records in census data, vital
records, directories, photos,
and more.
Ancestry.com is only available in the Library If you want to get started from home, we
also have Heritage Quest. Both are available at deerfieldlibrary.org/online-resources.

RENEW,REFRESH,
RECHARGE, REOPEN
Spring is the great season of Renewal. This
year it coincides with the renewal of the
Library building as well. With the
construction project on time and on budget
as I write this in Februaiy, staff members are
already abuzz, planning for the Grand
Reopening scheduled for June. It will be so
rewarding to introduce the remodeled,
transformed, expanded and revitalized
Library to the Deerfield community for the
first time.
During the next few months our staff
members will also prepare to launch the
“new” Library—providing new services,
programs, materials and features to make
your life easier, introduce you to new ideas,
and even inspire you. Hot new technologies
and concepts will coexist with an improved
experience of the more traditional role of the
Library, including cozy corners for reading
and silent study.
While we expect summer’s launch of the new
Library space to be impressive, the Library
will continue to evolve with additional new
services and programs making their debut
throughout the fall, winter, and spring. At any
time, feel free to share your ideas with outstaff members about what more we can do to
make your experience of the Library more
personal and meaningful.
In closing, I want to thank all of you for your
patience while we “camped out” at our
temporary quarters in Cadwell’s Corners. We
felt warmly welcomed there, and the site
worked out great as a small community
library for a short time. Soon, though, it will
be time to restore your Library experience to
its full power.. .and that will be just the
beginning of what comes next.

Library Director

New and Expanded Library to Cost
Taxpayers Less than Anticipated
In January, the Village of Deerfield sold the remainder of the bonds to fund the
building project. Due to the low and very advantageous interest rates, taxpayers
will be paying about $76-79 each year (based on a home valued at $500,000 at
the time of the referendum) rather than the $88 or so we had estimated for the
2010 referendum. This will be a FLAT RATE, annually, for the next twenty years.
“We are all veiy proud and pleased that we are able to give Deerfield a newly
remodeled and expanded Library for less cost per year than we expected to pay,”
said Ken Abosch, Library Board president. “And, of course, our thanks to the
Village of Deerfield and its AAA bond rating for making the arrangements for
the sale of these bonds on our behalf.”
I DIDN’T KNOW THAT!
We asked staff to give us the inside track on some frequently over-looked and
under-used Library resources. You may be surprised!
Andrew L., Multimedia: “The Teens page on the Library's
website is a great resource. Take a look at Homework Help.
There's infoimation on Tutor.com, plus links to GREAT teen
sites like TeenSpace. Check it out."
Noreen T., Youth Services: “Museum
Adventure Passes are a terrific Library
value. Use your Deerfield card to get a
pass and getfree admission or a special discount at
more than a dozen local museums and attractions."
Ted G., Adult Services: “One of my
favorite online resources is the
Chicago Consumers Checkbook. This is a lot
like Angie's list and rates various local businesses and
contractors. I needed to purchase a new A/C andfurnace and
found a great contractor who gave us a great price by using
this resource. Unfortunately; this is one of thefew that you
can't access it from home. You need to come into the Library
and use one of our computers, but that's a minor
inconvenience when you consider the value. ”
The Library will be closing just before Memorial Day and reopening in our
newly renovated building about a month later in late June.

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!”

weeks of February and

with a Book!” Your date will be

your date’s a dud, all is not lost.

Date” entiy form, return to the
Adult Services Dept, by February
28, and we’ll enter you in a raffle for
a chance to win a dinner for two at
Biaggi’s Restaurant. Only one entiy

What’s Next? That is a P'
A
question I field many
times a day from
residents interested in
knowing how our construction plans are
coming along. Our design process is just
kicking off. The Library Board is seeking
input from a variety of sources to refine
the design concepts. In the near future,
we will also begin the Village Commissions
approval process. Consistent with our
commitment to keep residents informed
and involved, we are planning a community
meeting this spring to share the renderings
of the design to that stage. This would
include the interior, exterior, landscaping,
and energy plans. Please watch for
announcements of the date and time.
At
Although actual construction is still far
off, there are sounds of construction near
our Circulation department as we install a
RFID system for patron convenience and
improved accuracy. A new interior “window”
has been created. Library materials returned
through that window are automatically
checked in, reducing error and getting
materials back to the shelves more quickly.
We are also combining our Teen and Media
service desks into one unit at a more
convenient location for improved service.
Look for our new, welcoming Information
desk and hot beverage vending near the
Library entrance, and patron-oriented
checkout stations in Youth Services as
well as at the Circulation desk. (Thanks
to the Friends for purchasing the first of
three new stations!) We welcome resident
feedback to make these services even
better in the new construction.
Bottom line: We never stop seeking ways
to better serve our library patrons and
community.
Faster, More Accurate Service
with RFID and Self Check
As the Library plans for a large-scale renovation
project, we are making a series of service
improvements that will have immediate benefits
for our patrons before implementing them in a
reconfigured building.
We have recently put Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags in all of our
materials to increase the speed and accuracy of checking items in and out of
the Library. RFID will check in items instantaneously, with nearly 100%
accuracy. Items will automatically be sorted upon check-in and get back on the
shelves and into circulation more quickly.
RFID tags will also allow patrons to quickly and easily use new checkout
machines installed on the Library’s upper and lower levels. Self-check stations
help patrons get their selections out the door and home to eqjoy sooner. Staff
members will be available all hours of operation to assist patrons with these
new stations.
Patrons who require assistance with library card registration or questions about
their account will now be able to take their time working with a circulation
staff member away from busy checkout lanes. In addition, an Information desk
near the front gates will also help patrons get speedy responses to our most
frequently asked questions.
Implementing RFID at this time will also greatly improve the Library’s ability to
keep track of materials during an extensive renovation project. Read more
about the Library’s next steps in the Message from the Director.

The Friends of the Deerfield Public
Libraiy are happy to report that through
the community’s support purchasing
books from the Used Book Sale and
annual memberships, we are able to
fund the following items in 2011: partial
funding for a New Early Childhood
Literacy Station in Youth Sendees, a
substantial collection of Blu-ray discs,
and a Self-Checkout Station.
The Friends want to thank the
community for their used book
donations. The Friends continue to
accept gently used hardback,
paperback, and children’s books, as well
as DVDs and CDs. Please bring
donations to the Circulation desk at the
Library7 during regular business hours.
Volunteers sort and shelve these
donations, and we ask households to
donate only two shopping bags or boxes
per week.
We continue to need the support from
the community with Annual
Memberships. A Friends’ membership is
$15 per year, but any amount is welcome.
Please make checks payable to the

Recently, the Libraiy acquired nearly 60 years’ worth of bound Deerfield Review
newspapers, dating back to 1945. Each volume includes original articles,
photographs, obituaries, and advertisements.
Coffee, Tea, and Quiet
A new hot beverage station on the Library’s upper level now offers a wider variety
of coffee options. Coffee will sell for 25$ per cup and cups of cappuccino, mocha,
or hot chocolate are only 50$ each. This unit replaces the carafes of coffee that
were available in the Fiction Room.
Moving the busy beverage station out of the Fiction Room will help reclaim that
space for patrons looking for a quiet place to study, read, or just relax. Readers’
Sendees staff still look fonvard to talking to patrons about books; they’ll just be
using their “library voices.” Please help us keep this space one where peace and
quiet are a priority.

The Youth Services department offers a variety of games, puzzles, and coloring

Message from
the Director
Thank you, Deerfield!
The recent approval of
the Library’s request for
funding for the Library
Improvement Plan is a win for everyone
in Deerfield. This gives us the
opportunity to improve our library
building and services, which will benefit
the entire community.
We have begun to get questions about
how soon we will proceed. There are
many steps to be completed and
approvals to be obtained as we move
forward. For example, we need to complete
the architectural designs, and then
share them with Village Commissions as
part of the approval process. Certain
questions or concerns may require some
adjustments to the design or other
changes. When the approval process is
final, we will need to go out to bid for
construction, then evaluate the bids to
assure we are getting the best value and
quality for the project. At best this
process will take several seasons, if all
goes smoothly.
We appreciate the ongoing interest of
our residents, and we will continue to
keep you updated via our Facebook and
Website pages. We received very positive
feedback about our openness during the
referendum, and we plan to continue
sharing our progress with you along the
way. Of course you are also welcome to
attend Library Board meetings, or read
the minutes of these meetings on our
website. Keeping you informed and
involved is important to us, so please
share your questions and comments
along the way.
Mary Pergander
Library Director

Library Improvement Plans Move Forward
The November 2 referendum for $11,775 million to fund the Library Improvement
Plan was approved! Over 58.4% of Deerfield voters voted yes, with 41.5% voting against.
The plan calls for improvements to the Library building and services, in order to
meet the needs of Deerfield residents for the next 20 years or more. Space will be
reorganized, remodeled, and expanded. The building layout will become more open
and flexible to allow for changing needs and multi-purpose uses. Adults will have
more quiet reading areas. Additional computers will be added for adults and children,
and a new Technology Lab will offer instruction and workshops. The Youth Services
area will be improved, along with a larger and better designed Youth Program Room.
All restrooms will be ADA compliant. Self-check kiosks and a convenience center will
be added, and the meeting room will be enlarged. The building’s aging infrastructure
will be upgraded or replaced, and the parking lot will be improved.
“The vote is a win for everyone in Deerfield. This gives us the opportunity to improve
our Library building and services, which will benefit the entire community,” said Ken
Abosch, President of the Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees. “The Library
Board is grateful to eveiyone who provided ideas and feedback as we developed the
Library Improvement Plan. We also want to thank Deerfield residents for the time
they took to become informed about the referendum.”
The Board will proceed with the Libraiy Improvement Plan in the most expedient
and efficient manner possible. There are many steps involved, including finalizing
architectural design, reviewing of the plans by Village commissions, completing
construction documents, and bidding the various phases of construction work. It’s not
possible at this time to say exactly when construction will begin.
Please check the Library’s Web site for the latest information about implementation
of the Library Improvement Plan.

The Library Board is p- .
launching increased . A
efforts to inform and
seek feedback from
Deerfield residents about Library
needs and possibilities. During
Februaiy, the Board formed a citizen
input group of interested community
members. In March, the Board will
hold open house-style public
information sessions for all interested
Deerfield residents. For convenience,
the days and times will vary, but the
information will remain the same. The
intent is to share information about
the Library’s current building,
infrastructure problems, programming
and service limitations, future needs,
and funding alternatives. In exchange,
the Board will seek feedback from
community members to help the
Board consider and assess
alternatives.
In late spring, the Board will use
an independent firm to conduct a
scientifically-representative sample of
randomly chosen residents for a
telephone survey. The results will be
shared with the citizen input group
and others. In June and July, a second
round of public information sessions
will be held for all residents, to share
results of the survey and other inputs,
and to seek additional feedback.
Through these public-engagement
activities, by late summer, the Board
hopes to determine which alternative
may be the most attractive to
community members. The Board will
then decide how to proceed toward
that objective, and how the project
should be funded.
Library Board Hosts Open House Events
to Discuss Facility Options
Interested community members are invited to attend one or more of the Library
open houses scheduled for March. The open house will be an opportunity to learn
more about the facility issues and needs, options being studied, and financing
alternatives for building improvements. A formal presentation will take place at
the beginning of each session; then attendees may stay for the discussion and
tours. The Library Board is encouraging feedback from the community on the
various Library options. Visit the Library Web site for further information and to
register in advance. All sessions are at the Library.

�DVD Check Out Policy to Change
Beginning March 1, juvenile patrons (under 18) may check out any DVDs or video
games unless their guardian fills out a form restricting their borrowing privileges.
Previously, all minors were restricted from borrowing movies or games unless a
parent signed a permission slip allowing them to do so. As before, parents assume
full responsibility for return, damage, fees, or fines for materials loaned, and hold
the Deerfield Public Library harmless from the loan of any materials. More
information and a downloadable copy of the Juvenile Video/DVD and Video Game
Permission Form are available on the Library’s Web site.
Plant a Seed
A start-up volunteer program is taking root at the Library.
The beginnings are modest - ongoing shelf maintenance
. (ensuring that books are in the proper order and the shelf
is clean and inviting); cleaning and sanitizing toys in the
Youth Services department; disc resurfacing (a simple
mechanized process to repair and clean DVDs, CDs, and
game discs), and general “straightening up” in the Library. If
you have a limited amount of time but want to make a big
difference, contact Jody Wilson atjwilson@deerfieldlibraiy.org for
more information.
Organize Your Holds
If you’re reading books in a series or don’t want to get calls or emails about a
waiting list while you’re on vacation, you can now freeze your holds in the “My
Account” feature in the Library’s online catalog. To suspend a hold, check the
“freeze” box and click “update list”.
Book Group Connect
Are you'looking for a way to attract new
members to your book group? Or would you like
to share a listxof what your group is reading?
The Fiction Room is creating a temporary
display space for your private book groups to
connect with each other, attract new members,
and learn about the Library’s resources. If you
would like to submit an 8 Vi x 11 poster or list
of books your group'rereading, contact Melissa
Stoeger at mstoeger@deerfieldlibrary.org.
Local Authors

There’s still room for a few monTpublished fiction writers to participate in our first
Fiction Fair on Sunday, April 11, 1:30\4:30 p.m. This is a chance for local authors
to discuss and read from their work ana interact with their readers. For more

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
We call it “the dead of winter”...
That dormant time
-when the world appears
to be asleep under the
blanket of snow.
H \1 fe* it
Experienced gardeners
know, however, that
important changes are
occurring in plants and animals, preparing
them for spring when the world will be full of
life and change.
So, too, inside the Library we are busy
planning our new automation system and
conducting preliminary discussions about
options for remodeling. Right now, there is
not much to see. Nevertheless, these early
steps are fundamental to help us launch
the new plans during the spring and
summer months.
In other areas our activities are quite
evident, even in the winter months. These
include our expanded programs and services
to children and their families, often in
coordination with local schools. Staff
members, including our new Teen Services
Librarian, regularly visit classrooms and
other student gathering places. They share
books, an activity or two, and information
about Internet safety.
Back inside the Library, we now offer
color printing and copying, for just 10 cents
per page! You can even print from your own
wireless laptop computer. Our staff members
are happy to show you all the features and
simple-to-use instructions for our new copiers
and printers. In response to your requests,
we also offer longer sessions on our desktop
computers, if other patrons are not waiting.
Even with these expanded services and
programs, we are ever mindful that BOOKS
are what draw many of you to the Library.
Come and get a fresh armful to keep you cozy
until spring is really here!

2009: Listening Is an Act
of Love ed. Dave Isay
“... Our stories—the stories of everyday people—
are as interesting and important as the celebrity
stories we’re bombarded with by the media every
minute of the day. If we take the time to listen, we’ll
find wisdom, wonder, and poetry in the lives and
stories of the people all around us.”
So begins the introduction to Listening is an Act ofLove, the 2009 selection
for Bannockburn, Deerfield, and Riverwoods’ “One Book, One Zip Code”
community reading project. The book is a collection of some of the most
meaningful of the thousands of stories collected by StoryCorps—the country’s
largest oral history project—since their founding in 2003. Many other stories
have run on National Public Radio.
At the heart of StoryCorps is the conversation between two people who are
important to each other. By helping people connect and talk about the ques
tions that matter, the stories in this book are powerful, and sometimes, even
life-changing.
This spring, along with our community partners, we are pleased to present a
series of programs that will support a continuing conversation about
Listening Is an Act ofLove and provide opportunities for readers to share
stories of their own.

Message from the
Director
In the darker
days of winter, I
ff
appreciate the
«•.
golden light
that pours forth
from a friendly
window. Is
there anything more welcoming?
Recently, I was walking back to the
Library after an evening meeting.
Through the glowing panes, I saw
the Library full of people engaged in
a variety of ei\joyable activities.
kiv
Record-breaking attendance,
climbing circulation figures,
increasing demands for our meeting
rooms and for tables throughout the
building—something is going on
here!! Even we have been a little
surprised at these dramatic increases.
No doubt the shaky economy is one
reason - the Library is a terrific
family-entertainment resource. We
hope the many positive changes and
improved access day and night, here
or from home or office, are
contributing factors as well.
In this issue you will discover many
new reasons to come to the Library
and information about our plans to
make it even more inviting. Be sure
to see the Board’s announcement of
our plans to update the Library.
Whatever your plans are for the next
few months, we hope that you’ll let
us extend a cheery hello to you this
winter.

Library Board Engages Architectural Consultant
Last year the Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees decided to stay in downtown
Deerfield at our present location. Although it appears that our 37-year-old building is
structurally sound, we continue to hear from members of the community that it is time
for an update. More than just updating the worn and outdated interior, it is time to
rearrange our space to make better use of the building and reconfigure it to meet the
needs of our community. Included in this improvement plan is the possibility for a
small addition.
The Board has engaged the services of a Chicago-area architectural firm to review the
current building systems and structure in detail, evaluate the use of space and evolving
programming and service needs, and conduct community focus groups. The purpose of
this process is to generate ideas and build consensus about the vital services and space
needs of a dynamic community library. The architectural firm will use this information to
develop a set of proposals to enhance our current building on Waukegan Road. These
alternatives will be presented to the public for further discussion and analysis.
As we write this, the dates for these activities are being planned. We invite you to
watch for further announcements and we welcome your ideas and comments at any time.

One Book, One Zip Code
The 2009 “One Book, One Zip Code” selection for adults and high
school students is Listening Is an Act ofLove: Celebration of
American Life from the StoryCorps Project edited by Dave Isay.
These stories, first recorded as part of the StoryCorps Project,
LISTK XING
include personal accounts of triumph, tragedy, and all the human

places in between.
The heart of StoryCorps is the conversation between two people
©
who are important to each other: a grandson asking his grandmother
__J
about her childhood, an immigrant telling his friend about coming to [
America, or a couple reminiscing on their 50th wedding anniversary.
By helping people to connect and to talk about the questions that
matter, the StoryCorps experience is powerful and sometimes even life-changing.
Last year, representatives from Bannockburn, Deerfield and Riverwoods planned and
presented our first “One Book” program. Last year’s book was Mountains Beyond
Mountains, by Tracy Kidder.
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, and interactive events related to the book.
Parents, look for a kid’s version of “One Book” coming this spring!

�Staff News
Welcome Emily Compton,
Head of Reference
If Emily looks familiar, it is because she
has been a librarian with us for just
over a year. After a multi-state search
for a new head of reference, we
realized that we had to look no further
to find exactly what we needed. Emily
has a strong commitment to excellent
reference services and nonfiction
readers’ advisory, as well as offering
virtual services via our website. She
appreciates the skills and experience
of her coworkers, and together they
form an impressive team.
Welcome Sheila Urwiler,
Head of Multimedia
Sheila joined our new Multimedia
department in late September. She has
extensive experience in customer
service and staff training, and she
recently made the career change to
librarianship. Currently a student
librarian with a passion for music and
movies, she will complete her MLS
degree in December. Sheila has many
ideas for the expansion of the media
collections and services, so let her
know your areas of interest!
Best Wishes to Juanita
Nicholson, Reference
Librarian
Juanita will retire in late November
after dedicating five years of superb
service to the Deerfield community.
Over the years you may have noticed
her displays, complete with Victor the
penguin, or you may have made a
delicious meal with a cookbook she
selected for the Libraiy. Juanita’s
passion for research and teaching is an
inspiration to library users and staff
alike. We will all miss her kind attitude,
engaging stories, and undying patience.
Thank you and best wishes, Juanita!

Message from the
Director
Spring is the time
.
when all things
;
come alive again,
including the
Library! We have
already been hum
ming with activity, from hosting the
School District 109 kindergarten
registration in February to preparing
for the all-day North Central ‘0‘ Gauger

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
“One Book, One Zip Code” reflects our desire to make sure that everyone in the 60015
zip code feels equally invited to join this community of readers.

This spring we invite you to read Mountains Beyond
Mountains, by Tracy Kidder. This nonfiction bestseller
follows “the quest of Dr. Paul Farmer, the man who
would cure the world.” Kidder focuses on Farmer’s
work in Haiti and his dedication to providing preferen
tial health care options for the poor. Inspiring and
thought provoking, the book captivatingly explores the
issues of poverty, health care, and international aid.
