Message from the Director
It’s the little things...
Can you guess the patron
comment I receive most
often? It is the request
for drive-up book drops
outside the Library. In
writing, via phone, or
email, even at social or
business gatherings, someone always mentions
this highly desired convenience. Well, our
Library Trustees and staff members have heard
this request loud and clear, and found a way to
provide it. By the time you read this, there
should be two drive-up drop boxes near the front
entrance to the Library—one for books, and one
for all types of audio-visual materials. I look
forward to receiving your comments about them!
We continue to listen. Our Board members
are going to be available in our lobby and other
public places such as the Farmers Market from
time to time. We hope you’ll stop by and
say hello.
We soon will be holding public sessions to
solicit your feedback about the findings of the
space needs and architectural review of our
building. This will be the opportunity for
residents across the community to have a
voice in the future plans for the Library. Please
consider participating.
We know it takes time to turn dreams and
ideas into reality, so we continue to test ideas
and learn from them. One example is the Teen
area we are creating, adjacent to the
Multimedia collections. We will use what we
learn there to plan even better spaces and
services for teens in the future.
Here is one thing you won’t have long to
wait for—at the end of the summer we will
launch our new automation system. More about
its features and conveniences are detailed in
this edition. We think you’ll be amazed! Our
staff members will help you test-drive the
system at the Library or from home, so you can
make full use of its features.
We are constantly looking for ways to serve
you better. We hope you believe we are
succeeding.
New Library Catalog Helps You Find Your Way!
Find everything you need in the Library’s new
online catalog of books, movies, magazine
articles, and more. The new catalog “goes live”
on August 18. Whether you are in the Library or
surfing from home, you can er\joy this fast, easy
resource on any computer at any time.
The new catalog looks and acts much like what
you find on your favorite retail sites. You can
see book covers and reviews, ei\joy one-click
searching of other area libraries, and sign up to
receive alerts when new items of interest arrive
at the Library. We want to reward your explor
ing. Beginning August 18 you can use your Deerfield Public Library card to
enter an online drawing for a GPS navigation system. If you haven’t used your
Library card in a while, you may need to re-register at our Circulation desk.
Please bring one piece of identification with your current address and we’ll be
happy to update your account.
In order to successfully move from one catalog to another, the Library will be
closed all day Sunday, August 16 and Monday, August 17. Please do not return
materials between Thursday, August 13 and Thursday, August 20. Loan periods
will be extended on all items that would normally be due during that week.
Architectural Review Progress Report
The Deerfield Public Library Board has engaged PSA-Dewberry, an
architectural and engineering firm, to evaluate our current Library and
report the findings to the board and community. The process includes:
• assessing the current building structure and systems,
• conversing (focus groups) with representative members of the community,
staff, and board about perceived current and future needs,
• evaluating space needs and trends in libraries, and
• comparing our library building, staffing, circulation and other key
measurements with peer libraries serving similarly sized populations.
A preliminary report of the building found that the structure appears solid,
although the building systems need significant upgrades or replacement. In
addition, building codes have changed since the 1970s when the current
Library was built. The architects expect to finish the current space needs
assessment and report to the board, staff, and community by summer. We
plan to hold public sessions to review the architects’ findings and recommen
dations, and to solicit your feedback. Afterward, the Library Board will
determine any next steps that may take place.

Message from the Director
We are moving right along in our remodeling and
expansion plans. Currently, we are completing the design
approvals process through the Commissions and the Village Board.
We are also looking for a suitable temporary site during construction.
Here is our estimated calendar:
• September, 2011 — Begin creating construction documents
• January, 2012 — Go out for construction bids
• February, 2012 — Move into temporary site
• April, 2012 — Begin construction on remodeling and expansion
• Late fall 2013 — Return to 920 Waukegan
We appreciate the input and feedback we receive from residents along the way, whether through our public information
sessions, emails and comment cards, visits with our Board members at Farmers Markets or just in line at the grocery store!
In discussions about the building project, we are often asked how the Library is addressing the rapid increase in electronic
formats for books and movies. We already have e-books and e-audios available, along with a limited video selection.
Currently, e-book demand is surpassing our available copies. We will soon make more e-book copies of popular titles
available to our users, while still offering a wide selection of new and beloved print books. We are taking these changes into
account as we plan the new spaces for the Library, allowing MORE to be the dominant word—more books through the
combination of print and e-formats, more space to read in a comfortable chair, more room for individuals using laptops,
more private spaces for small group discussions, more space to spread out study materials.
Throughout the changes to come, we will continue to share our developing plans and progress with residents through our
website, print newsletter, Facebook, and other means. We hope you will follow along!

Together, Again!
Our community-wide reading program, One
Book, One Zip Code, coincides with the 10th
anniversary of September 11,2001, an event
that drives the plot of this year’s selection,
“Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close,” by
Jonathan Safran Foer.
In the book, nine-year-old Oskar Schell embarks
on a secret mission to find the lock that matches
a mysterious key that belonged to his father,
who died in the World Trade Center on the
morning of September 11. This brings Oskar
into contact with survivors of all sorts on an
affecting, often funny, and ultimately healing
journey.
The 10-year anniversary played a big role in the
One Book, One Zip Code committee’s selection.
“One way we learn about the past is through
stories,” says David Hirsch, long time member
of the committee. “Fiction is a powerful vehicle
for us to explore our relationships with each
other and with events like 9/11. One of the most
wonderful things about reading this book at this
time is that it enhances both the experience
of reading and our understanding of the com
plexities of 9/11. We hope that this book adds a
significant layer to the commemoration of 9/11.”
Another way we hope to add a “significant
layer” to this important remembrance is
through our programming. On Sunday,
September 11, following the civic ceremony at
Deerfield Village Hall which starts at 1:30 p.m,
Rabbi Aaron Melman of Temple Beth Shalom
in Northbrook will speak about his personal
experiences as student chaplain of the New
York Fire Department on 9/11. At 6:30 p.m.
on Monday, September 12, at Deerfield High
School, David Hirsch will interview the author
via Skype! Plus, Whitehall of Deerfield will
give away two Nooks and Barnes & Noble
gift cards. Other One Book programs are
highlighted in this issue of BROWSING or at
onebookonezipcode.org.
Special cards for sharing thoughts of 9/11 will
be available at every event, at the Library, at
the Patty Turner Center, at the high school and
elsewhere. People can drop off their cards or
mail them to the Library, which will collect
the cards in a book that will be added to the
collection.
Please join us in reading together, again!

Froebel blocks were developed in the

geometric shapes and patterns in
increasing complexity. Frank Lloyd
Wright, who played with the blocks

Froebel blocks at the Library in a

Wright Preservation Trust. □
