- - - •:
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.

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.

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.

David Wolff
Deerfield Public
Library D'listee,
1989 to 2007
Photo by Barbara Struthers
The Library Board and staff were
saddened to learn of the passing of
one of the Library’s friends and
strongest supporters, David Wolff.
David Wolff served as a Deerfield
Public Library Trustee for 18 years.
He held the offices of President,
Secretary and Treasurer.
Current Library Board president
Ken Abosch said, “I think Dave’s
major accomplishment for the
Library was his extreme focus on
the physical side of the facility. He
was instrumental in monitoring
the well-being of the HVAC system,
the roof, elevators, and other
aspects of the building. He always
weighed in on any maintenance
contracts and/or remodeling work
efforts that had to be done, given
his practical knowledge of raw
materials and his knowledge of
contractor practices. As a result,
he also was very actively involved
in the remodeling of the Fiction
room, the Youth Services room,
and the First Floor.”
Dave will certainly be missed. His
cheerful laughter still rings
throughout the Libraiy.
Board Reports on Library Space Needs Study
As Chair of the Long Range Planning Committee, I am pleased to bring you up to date
on the recent architectural study of our current building and future space needs.
In late June, representatives of the architectural firm PSA-Dewberry presented the
Library Board with an assessment of the current building and suggestions for future
improvements. The study included “peer library benchmarking”—comparisons with
similar library facilities—as well as community focus groups, staff input, and a
thorough evaluation of the physical plant and its mechanical, electrical, and other
systems. While our building has been well maintained, it no longer meets code, and
community members continue to comment on its “tired” appearance. Most importantly,
the study revealed significant structural, space, and acoustical problems, as well as
serious parking concerns.
Responding to the Board’s request for need-based, cost-efficient ideas that could help
us improve our library, PSA-Dewberry’s report included recommendations to relocate
the entrance to the northwest corner of the building, expand the east and west portions
of the building by about 5,000 square feet each, reconfigure interior space to increase
flexibility and meet changing patron needs, and address parking concerns. The
architects estimate that such a project could cost $12 to $15 million. While it is
important to note that these recommendations do not constitute an actual plan, but
rather a sort of “you are here” needs assessment, we are excited to share them with
Deerfield residents and eager to solicit feedback on this report. We understand that
public input, as well as ongoing collaboration with the Village, Park District, and other
community leaders, is of critical importance in any improvement process we undertake.
With this in mind, the Board of Trustees will solicit your ideas and opinions at a public
forum to be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday, September 22. Because the library does not have
a meeting room able to accommodate the number of community members who might
wish to attend, the forum will be held at the Patty Turner Senior Center, 375 Elm St.,
Deerfield. Please call Libraiy Director Mary Pergander at (847) 945-3311 for more
information. If you plan to attend this presentation and discussion, please register in
advance at www.deeifieldlibrary.org under “Programs & Classes” or call (847)945-3311.
We hope you will join us!

Message from the Director
“You should offer download
able audiobooks.” “Please
offer color printing and
copying.” “I wish you had
longer check-outs for
vacation periods.”
The fact is we DO offer all of these
services, and many more. Beginning with this
issue, the newsletter asks “Have you Tried?"
and highlights ways to help you get the most
er\joyment and value from your library. Also,
try out the new ROI (return on investment)
calculator link on our Web site to estimate the
value of the library services you use.
Here is something else we want you to know:
PSA-Dewberry architects have reported to the
Board their findings regarding our future space
needs and the suitability of this building for a
possible remodel/expansion. Library Board
Trustee Mary Courtney, the Chairperson for the
Long Range Planning Committee, summarizes
the findings in this issue. Also, come hear a live
presentation about the architect’s report and
give the Board your feedback at a public session
on Tuesday, September 22, at 7 p.m. Please note
the location will be the Patty Ttimer Senior
Center meeting room, in order to
accommodate the expected crowd.
We hope you are ei\joying the many terrific new
features and enhanced searching capabilities of
our new automation system and on-line catalog.
Thank you for your many positive comments
and helpful suggestions. We will be continuing
to make enhancements to better serve you.
Speaking of long-awaited improvements, every
day our staff members receive positive com
ments about how much easier it is to return
materials to the Library now that we have
drive-up book drops. Our Friends of the
Deerfield Library are donating $10,000 this year
to cover the costs, and we say a big Thank You
to them! Read more about the other ways our
Friends support the Library inside.
Finally, watch for the Board members who
will be at the Fanners Market on Saturday,
September 26. Our Trustees want to hear
from you!

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.
