Digital Deerfield:
DHS Yearbooks and more!
Story on page 2
�From the Director
In past columns, I’ve alluded to the
planned renovation of our Media area.
As this newsletter goes to press, we are
about ready to begin construction of
our new MakerSpace, a collaborative
workspace. First, the shelves will be
rotated, and the Media desk will be
moved. Later in August, we anticipate
full construction to begin, which should last approximately
4-6 weeks. Watch our social media channels and website
(deerfieldlibrary.org/makerspace) for information about
the opening of the new space.
The Library is committed to meeting the needs of our
community. We undertook this project as part of the Library’s
current Strategic Plan. From our research and planning in 2016,
we knew there was an interest in increased STEAM-related
offerings. The STEAM acronym stands for Science, Technology,
Engineering, Art, and Math. Since 2017, we have continued to
add new STEAM programs. These have included our popular
3D printing programs, as well as Tech Drop-ins, that provide
a casual opportunity to see new technologies in action.
We have also added non-traditional items, like our Discovery
Kits, to the library’s collection. The Discovery Kits focus on
STEAM and other creative concepts with hands-on making.
A kit is a curated collection of items available around a theme.
The new MakerSpace is going to house STEAM-related equipment and provide additional table seating for people to use all
hours the Library is open. When the construction is completed,
we will have a new, larger service desk across from the book
return, which will serve Media and additional patron needs.
There is more to share! Turn to page 11 for a rendering of the
new space, as well as a list of some of the equipment that we
will have available.

Awesome Things
Library cards available for
awesome readers ages 5+
(Tour of Awesome begins on page 2)
i
�September is officially
Library Card Sign-up
Month!
This “holiday” is an initiative
championed by the American
Library Association to promote,
you guessed it, library cards! In
1987, Education Secretary
William J. Bennett wanted a
way to encourage all children
to get, and use, a library
card. Since then,
libraries use this
month as a way
Celebrate Library Card Sign-up
Month by exploring the awesomeness
of your Deerfield Public Library!
True, you don’t need a library card for all these activities, but
everyone should have this awesome card in their wallet.
Library cards are available for ages 5+!
to remind the public that a
library card is a way to explore
educational and recreational
resources. Public libraries are
great equalizers. There are very
few civic institutions that serve
people from all backgrounds
and walks of life. Public
libraries are a source of
community pride, and each one
is unique in how it serves its
community.
At Deerfield Public Library,
we are very proud of the
variety of services we offer
our community. Throughout
this issue of Browsing, we
will be highlighting some of
the great things that you can
do with your DPL card.
We hope you will find
something new
and unique.
With your library card, in
addition to being able to check
out books in a variety of
formats, I encourage you to
explore the Library's wide
variety of digital resources. Are
you looking to make an
automobile purchase this year?
Be sure to check out our new
Auto Finance Resource
database. Download the hoopla
app to get access to hundreds
of streaming TV shows, movies,
and audiobooks. And we have
an amazing, professional staff
available to assist you in your
information-seeking endeavors.
We are here to help you find the
information you need.
Deerfield Public Library is
always looking for ways to meet
the needs of the community.
Your library card is the key that
can unlock many doors!
