genres of books are accepted as well as DVDs and video games. Most importantly,
the proceeds from all sales are funneled right back into library services.

�From the Director
By now, regular Browsing readers know I
grew up in a family of readers, my kids are
carrying on the tradition. After all, their
mother is a librarian...it’s required.
Last week, my daughter came home
from school with the Scholastic Book
Club catalog. She had circled something
on every page. After she was done, my
son took another colored pen and circled
just as many items. Now, I’m a librarian at a great library with a
robust collection! Why would I consider actually buying books?
I used this as an opportunity to find out why they want to own
books when I can check them out from the library.
My son loves all the Percy Jackson books, and my daughter loves
the series featuring “Front Desk.” They like that they have the
opportunity to take their time to read it and go back to re-read it.
They find comfort in the physical book themselves.
I was struck by that profound sentiment from my middle school-aged
children. And, I started to think about the idea of comfort. We are
entering winter in Chicagoland. Some years, it feels like the winter will
never end...gray days and bone-chilling cold. But, we have all found
ways to comfort ourselves. In my family, it’s with books. Winter is the
perfect time to hunker down and find comfort in the small things in
life. Happy reading!
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director
Individually, they both replied that they like owning their own
books, especially if it’s a title that they particularly enjoyed.
The Wide World of Video at DPL
While the big world of video is always
in season, for many people, winter is a
time they ramp up their video viewing
and gaming. To help you prepare, we
want to make sure you know about
the rich collections (physical and
streaming) available for your winter
entertainment.
Video Games
Are you one of the 227 million in the
U.S. that play video games, solo and
with others? Per a 2021 report of the
Entertainment Software Association,
players say gaming inspires, provides
mental stimulation, and relieves stress.
Our library has a large collection of
games for Switch, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series
X, Xbox One, Wii, and WiiU.
DPL staff is happy to help you discover
new games in our diverse collection.
Multimedia Librarian Ted Gray, who
oversees the video game collection,
loves the sports games like MLB The
Show, and FIFA. Also, the big open
world games like Skyrim, Fallout, and
Red Dead Redemption. Adult Services
Librarian Anne Jamieson recommends
Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Stardew
Valley, and Sid Meier’s Civilization VI.
For info on the newest additions to
the collection, visit deerfieldlibrary.

If you are the type that can’t get enough of

Ted’s favorite themes is “Don’t Travel with
Tom Hanks” which includes Castaway, Sully,
Captain Phillips, and Apollo 13.
Do you have stacks of VHS or 8mm, but no
working equipment to watch them on? We’re
here to help! Make an appointment to visit
our amazing Digital Media Lab, located in
the MakerSpace.
and Television Shows)
For the streaming formats, you can search
for specific titles through our catalog. But
you also might enjoy browsing through the
digital collections online. It’s easy to link to at
deerfieldlibrary.org/movies.
Roku
The Roku provides one of the simplest ways
to stream entertainment to your TV. DPL
patrons can access popular TV shows and
movies from Netflix, Hulu, Acorn, and Disney+, and view our digital collection of over
500 movies through the Vudu app.
The Roku comes with simple setup instructions, and you can also watch the “Get Started”
video at deerfieldlibrary.org/roku.
Convert your 8mm, VHS to digital
We offer equipment for converting various
types of media into digital files (video, audio,
and photos). Even better, our staff will help
you get started. Equipment includes:
n
8mm and Super 8 film
n
Audio cassettes
n
Non-copyrighted CD / DVD
n
Film (35mm strips, mounted slides,
and medium format strips)
n
Photographs up to 8.5” × 11.7”
n
VHS tapes
n
Vinyl records
We can also convert video from various types
of video cameras.
DPL Patron Jeanne Schlax has been utilizing
the MakerSpace to digitize her collection of
80+ 8mm home movies. “We have footage
going back to the 1950s. It’s important to
convert the films before they fade and get too
brittle,” said Jeanne. “The library staff has been
very helpful training on the equipment, and I
learn more each visit. This gives me peace of
mind that our family stories can continue to
be shared for generations to come.”

Deerfield Public Library
Winter 2019-20 | deerfieldlibrary.org
Check Out a Museum Today!
Details on page 2
�From the Director
The end of 2019 marks the conclusion of
our current Strategic Plan. This plan came
out of months of work in 2016. I’m so
proud of all the work the Library staff has
done to meet the goals outlined in the
plan. By the time this edition of Browsing
is delivered, the new MakerSpace will
almost be completed and ready to open
to the public. The MakerSpace project came from our
Strategic Plan. We found out that our community was
interested in more technology and hands-on programs
here at the Library. By adding the MakerSpace, we are
able to offer these new experiences. Watch our website,
deerfieldlibrary.org/makerspace for updated information
about the Grand Opening for this new space.
In the upcoming year, the Library will continue to explore and
expand our efforts to provide the community with open access
to ideas and information in a welcoming environment. We
continually evaluate our programs and services.
It’s hard to believe that we are just a few months away from
entering a new decade, and one that comes with an extremely
important initiative: Census 2020. The Library will be working
to promote and provide information about the Census. Did you
know that this is the first time in history that you will be able to
fill out your Census form online? An important role for a public
library in the Census initiative is to provide a safe place for
people to fill out the online Census form. Watch our website for
more information about the 2020 Census.
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director

Couldn’t Have Done it
Without You!
So much to think about! Thank you to the
many professionals who stopped by to discuss
their careers for our homeschool students:
Gale Gand (chef and cooking instructor),
K.C. Johnson (sports reporter), John
Burmeister (firefighter), and Quinn Curren
and David Puma (police officers)
Tasty thanks to Chef Gale Gand for enhancing
our Classics Book Discussion with her
heavenly madeleines.
The answer is…THANKS! to the Deerfield
Golf Club for the room donation for our very
popular Trivia night.
Donate at the Library
Collection bins are located behind the desk
at the Library’s front entrance through
December 23.
Toys For Tots
Drop off new, unwrapped toys for this
initiative of the U.S. Marines and the
Deerfield Police. All types of toys for all ages
are accepted, and remember that books
make great gifts!
Coat Off Your Back
The Deerfield Rotary is collecting clean
coats for PADS Lake County and other area
organizations. All sizes accepted.
Groovy thanks to the Patty Turner Center,
our co-sponsor for the entertaining Lunch &
Learn Motown program. It was a hit!
Artful thanks to the Deerfield Fine Arts
Commission for the sponsorship of another
unique art program, Inside Out: Interior
Architecture from Historic Buildings.
ALL ABOARD!
Model Trains @ the Library
Saturday, December 7, 9:00am-3:30pm

DEAR FRIENDS:
I HOPE THAT YOU WILL ENJOY THE BICENTENNIAL HISTORY
PLUS THREE. CERTAINLY IT HAS BEEN A LABOR OF LOVE
TO WHICH MANY HAVE CONTRIBUTED OVER THE PAST THREE
YEARS.
SOME OF THE DELAY IN PUBLISHING THE HISTORY HAS BEEN
DUE TO THE WEALTH OF MATERIAL WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN
INCLUDED IN THE BOOK. IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO
DECIDE WHAT SHOULD BE RECORDED WITHOUT CREATING A
DAY-BY-DAY REVIEW OF THE HISTORY OF DEERFIELD.
I AM MOST GRATEFUL TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED TO MAKE
EVEN THOUGH IT IS A LITTLE
THIS BOOK A REALITY
LATER THAN WE HAD ORIGINALLY PLANNED!
SINCERELY,
BERNARD
MAYOR

�During that first year in Lake County, his young
son Daniel, Jr. died on September 7,1834, and his
wife, Ruth, died on September 10.20 Another son
died a year later. No cause of death is suggested
in the materials available, but the prevalence of
epidemic diseases in late summer has been
documented.
A prairie fire destroyed Wright’s winter hay sup
ply and the Indians helped him to survive the first
winter.21
Wright’s daughter, Caroline, married William
Whigham in 1836. It was the first marriage in Lake
County, and Hiram Kennicott, first Justice of the
Peace, performed the ceremony at the “Mill” on
the Des Plaines River.22
The Wright farm spanned the Des Plaines River,
and part of it is now the Ryerson Conservation
Area in Riverwoods. Wright died December 30,
1873 at the age of 95. His farm was in the name of
William Whigham on the 1916 Plat Map. He had
married Rachel Millard in 1845.23
The first settler in Deerfield Township was
Michael Meehan. He arrived in a covered wagon
drawn by two oxen and settled on Section 18 on
Telegraph Road in 1835, between Half Day Road
and Wilmot Road.24 Meehan was born in 1808 at
Meath, Ireland. He married Bridget Monahan in
1832, and emigrated to the United States that
same year. He went first to Salina, New York, and
later to Michigan, but in the autumn of 1835 he
came finally to Deerfield. The Indians had not left
the area yet, and the township was still in its
natural state. Meehan plowed the first furrow in
the township.25
He was relatively well stocked with provisions
when he arrived in Deerfield, for he had several
barrels of flour and a barrel of beef and pork. He
also had the cash to purchase seed, oats and
potatoes in the following spring, and he bought
the first piglet and first pair of kittens as well. He
erected a log cabin on the 225 acres that pre
empted, and the land had not yet been surveyed
(therefore it was still government land obtained
from the Indian Treaty). He left the farm for a brief
attempt at gold mining in California in 1852, but
realized the futility and quickly returned. 26
Meehan continued to work his farm until 1876,
when, at the age of 68, he retired, sold his farm to
James O’Connor, a neighbor and relative, and
moved to Highland Park.27
The first settler in what is now the Village of
Deerfield was Jacob Cadwell (or perhaps Horace
Lamb). Cadwell and Lamb arrived in Deerfield in
1835.28
Jacob Cadwell and his wife, Rubie Rich
Cadwell, had five sons and two daughters:
Madison, Philemon, Caleb, Hiram, Edwin, Rubie
Rosella and Jerusha Rosina.29 They all settled on
what is now Waukegan Road near Deerfield Road.
For a time this was called “Cadwell Corners” but
later it was changed to “Deerfield Corners.” The
locations of their homes is given in
a DDroximate
H History of Deerfield, by Reichelt, but those
the
locations are no longer contemporary. The
7
Cadwell lands were pre-empted under one of the
pre-emption bills passed after 1830 (but before the
Distribution Pre-emption act).30
Caleb Cadwell was appointed the first
postmaster in Deerfield in 1850.31 The Cadwells
built the first school — Cadwell School — and
Rosella was the first teacher. The Cadwell School
was opened in 1848, but the Wilmot School — the
first in the township — was opened in 1847.32
Horace Lamb came to Deerfield in 1835, the
same year as the Cadwells. It is not clear, actual
ly, who was the first to settle here. The Lamb pro
perty was located between what is now
Waukegan road and the east slough north from
the county line into what is presently the country
club. These were later the Vetter and Parsons pro
perties.33
The Wilmots, too, were among the first settlers.
Jesse Wilmot came up the North Branch in 1834
and landed at what is now Greenwood Avenue.34
Having stayed in Deerfield through the winter, he
returned in 1837 to the east to bring his own fami
ly and his brother, Lyman, and his family. Both
families settled west of the village along Wilmot
Road in the Deerfield Road area (none of which
existed at the time, of course). The farm the
Wilmots built was considered one of the best and
most productive in the area.35
Lyman Wilmot had eleven children, six sons
and five daughters. He built the first school in the
township; the Wilmots were patrons of education.
They were also abolitionists, and operated a sta
tion on the “underground railroad” which aided
runaway slaves to escape into Canada.36 Mrs.
Clarissa Wilmot, Lyman’s wife, was a practical
nurse and midwife who administered to the infirm
in the absence of the physician, and performed
some diagnostics with the aid of a medical
manual.37

�3. Civil War
and After
Freedom
Abolition
The abolitionist sentiment existed in Deerfield
and its adjacent areas. A “station” on the
Underground Railroad was operated by Lyman
Wilmot, and a runaway slave was received here
and given quarters for the winter of 1858 at the
home of Lorenz Ott.1 Abolitionists from Highland
Park would come to Deerfield to debate the issue
at the corner of Deerfield and Waukegan Roads.2
The runaway slave, Andrew Jackson, was 28
years old and came from a Mississippi plantation.
His father was the plantation owner, a white man,
and because of this, the slave received greater
liberty than other slaves, providing him with an
opportunity to escape. His flight from Mississippi
was an ordeal which included temporary capture
by his pursuers.3
Jackson lived with the Ott family, and did
chores while there. He built a white picket fence
and gate, but asked that it be taken down when
the slaves were freed-German thrift could not ac
cede to this request. In the spring, Jackson was
taken to Chicago from where he sailed to Canada.
He corresponded with the Ott family from there.4
The abolitionist sentiment was not universally
embraced, however, and many men were unable
to acknowledge a personal involvement in the
abolition issue-particularly in the resulting war.5
Antiwar sentiment was so strong that a bounty
was required to induce enlistments. The bounty
was $40 per man at the beginning of the war, but it
was $1600 by the end.6
There were a few “copperhead” and “a lodge or
two of Knights of the Golden Circle,”7 which were
southern sympathizers, but “never constituted an
effective fifth column.”8 A strong Union League
existed to counteract any disloyalty that may
have disgraced the County.9
CIVIL WAR
Deerfield Grand Army of the Republic
Captain McCaul’s Shield Guards were ap
parently the first volunteers. Their formation was
13
announced on April 20, 1861, and they joined an
Irish regiment in Chicago.10 On April 29, 1861,
ninety volunteers from southern Lake County ar
rived at Waukegan.11 On May 4,1861, the Union Ri
fle Guards were formed. On June 6, the County
Board of Supervisors appropriated $5,000 for
bounties to encourage enlistments.12
During the summer of 1861, Companies C and F
of the 37th Illinois Infantry were organized. Cap
tain Eugene B. Payne and Captain Erwin B.
Messer were the officers of these Companies.
During the winter of 1861-1862, half of Company I,
45th Illinois Infantry, and half of Company F of the
65th Infantry were organized; Company G of the
51st Illinois Infantry was organized, and all went
to Camp Douglas.13 It is not certain whether Virgil
Wilmot, the son of Lyman Wilmot who operated
the underground railroad, served in the 45th14 or
the 55th15 Illinois Infantry.
Thomas Mooney of Deerfield had the unique
service record of serving on both sides. He was in
ducted into the Confederate Army while working
as an engineer on a Mississippi River steamboat,
but escaped after two years and joined the Union
Army.18
Several Deerfield men died as a result of the
Civil War, either from illness, injuries received in
battle or from the hardships of the prison camps.
Several more were crippled. Those who served in

�This newsletter’s focus is on the non-traditional items
that DPL has to offer. It’s an interesting idea. What is a
“non-traditional” item? According to my dad, a DVD is
something that he considers non-traditional. My dad is a
voracious reader and library user, and he uses his public
library for books.
As I reflect on my almost 20 year career as a librarian,
I remember when computers were considered nontraditional. Computers! Something so ubiquitous today
was quite the big deal when I began my career. The first
public library I worked at after library school had a
shelving range dedicated to regional Illinois phone books.
Speaking from personal experience, those were a hard
thing to shelve! We also had CD-ROMs instead of online
databases and a vertical file. A vertical file was a filing
cabinet that had folders of “current” information, as
well as things like maps. In my tenure at that library,
we got rid of the phone books and the vertical file to
add more, you guessed it, public access computers.
Public libraries have been adept at evolving and
changing to meet the needs of their individual
communities. Deerfield is no exception. In the past
year, our collection of non-traditional items has grown
considerably. As a public library, we are about meeting
our patrons’ information needs in a variety of formats.
We have learned that this can be in the form of a
Roku or a telescope or even a board game.
Check one out today!
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director
Take home a telescope (and more)!
Once upon a time... long, long ago (ok, maybe just 20 years ago), most public libraries
had only print items for check-out, plus small collections of audio and video materials.
Fast-forward to 2018, and the DPL collection has creatively expanded to provide an
enhanced experience for our community.
Siona and Eva Rajshekhar (1-r, cover) are two of the Library’s most enthusiastic
users of “non-traditional” library materials. These Wilmot students have found that
their experience with DPL’s Discoveiy Kits stimulated an interest in STEAM (Science,
Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) activities. They have continued working
in these subject areas both at camp and school. Their interest in architecture and
engineering resulted in the cool wood structure on the cover, built with DPL’s KE\A kit.
Siona and Eva report that the structure represents the future headquarters for their
business, still in the planning stages, for “spy missions or dog walking, or both!”
Come on in and learn more about all this
fun stuff. You’ll find our non-traditional
materials in the Youth or Media
departments.

In 1959, residents of Deerfield learned a housing developer planned to sell homes in the village to
black buyers as well as white buyers. Many residents opposed integration and sought to halt the
development. A smaller group, the Deerfield Citizens for Human Rights, formed in support of the
development. In the weeks that followed, Deerfield residents passed a park referendum designed to
condemn the developer’s land. The crisis in Deerfield became a national story, attracting the attention
of Martin Luther King Jr., James Baldwin, and Eleanor Roosevelt. After years of demonstrations and
legal battles, the land became parks that stand today.
Continuing a community tradition, the Library is inviting residents, historians, and experts to offer
new insights into this history. We have updated and digitized our archives, made new acquisitions and
discoveries. The Library is also partnering with Deerfield schools to enhance existing curriculum. We invite
you tojoin us for a series of discussions, lectures, exhibits and other opportunities to reflect on the 60 years
since the fight to integrate Deerfield began. Programs and exhibits run from January 21-May 2,2019.

the month. In January, we will kick off the challenge by reading a book about Illinois

1,000 BooK5
w Before
kindergarten
�This is the time of year when
people want to reflect on the
year that was and give back to
their community. Deerfield
Public Library has accom
plished an array of amazing
things in the past year. We have
introduced a number of new
services, such as our Digital
Media Lab, and the ability to
print 3D objects. In addition,
we’ve created a new
space with the
Baby Garden,
1,000 Cooks
Before Kindergarten = FUN!
Reading to a child can never
begin too early. 1,000 Books
Before Kindergarten is a
program designed to help you
raise a reader. Reading aloud
to your child is the best way
you can get your child ready
to read.
• Any child from birth to
Pre-K may participate. Stop
by the Youth Services Desk
to register and get a free
tote bag, your child’s log,
and a list of recommended
books.
• For every book you read
together, your child can
color in a seed on the
log sheet.
• Any book counts, whether
your child listens to it in
storytime or preschool, at
home or in the car. The
books don’t have to come
from the Library.
generously sponsored by the
Friends of the Deerfield Public
Library. We increased our
collection by offering nontraditiona! items for checkout,
such as Discovery Kits, board
games, and Wifi hotspots. We
are so proud to serve the
Deerfield community and look
forward to another exciting
year to come.
If you are looking for a unique
way to honor someone who has
contributed to the Library in
some way, I’d like to suggest
that you consider nominating
that individual for our Giving
Tree. The Giving Tree is an
initiative of the Board
of Trustees to honor
people who have given their
time and service to the success
of the Library. The Giving Tree
debuted last spring, and it is
prominently displayed in the
Lobby. If you would like to
consider honoring someone
in this way, please visit
deerfieldlibrary.org/'giving-tree.
Enjoy a warm cup of hot
chocolate and a satisfying book
this winter. I’m looking forward
to a great 2018!
Amy Falasz-Peterson
Library Director
How long will it take you to
read 1,000 books?
• 1 book a day = 3 years
• 3 books a day = 1 year
• 5 books a day = 7 months!
1,000Books is a family affair at
the Sherman house. Emily (pic
tured with her mother, Rachel)
enjoys an average of four books
a day, including while she’s at
home, in preschool, and during
Storytime at the Library. Emily
also enjoys the task of coloring
the seeds on the log sheet.
Emily’s brother, Zach, is in 1st
grade and practices his reading
skills by reading to his sister.
Emily’s father, Dave, keeps
her engaged with his special
character voices. Looking
for some suggestions to get
started? Emily recommends
The Very Hungry Caterpillar,
Ten Little Ladybugs, and the
Pinkalicious series.

Desk and online at deerlieldlibrary.org/

�Moving Forward,
Strategically
It is often at this time of the
year that we reflect on the
months past, and on what our
goals and dreams are for the
upcoming year. The Library
Board and Staff are no excep
tion. I’m proud to announce
that our Board has finished
an almost year-long strategic
planning process. We invited
community opinion, which
directed the development of
our service targets for the next
three years.
Digitize and Declutter
@ the Digital
Media Lab
Face it, you’re never going to
get that old VHS player or LP
turntable fixed. The photos
of your great-grandparents
continue to fade and stick
together, and you have no idea
how to deal with the 35mm
film strips and slides. It’s time
to simplify and digitize, and
we can help!
The Library’s Digital Media
Lab contains equipment that
allows you to convert your ex
isting media to digital formats
so that you can preserve and
epjoy them on modern devices.
• Convert audio cassettes,
CDs, and vinyl records
to MP3s or other digital
formats. Now you’ll be able
to listen to them on modern
devices such as mobile
phones or in your car.
• Experience one-touch
conversion of VHS tapes to
DVD or digital formats. You
can also edit the video and
create custom video pre
sentations using installed
software.
2
The board worked with a
consultant and facilitator,
Donna Fletcher, to assist in
our strategic planning process.
Donna has extensive
experience working with
libraries both professionally
as a consultant and personally
as a Highland Park Public
Library Trustee. Donna
facilitated a survey of
Deerfield residents, both
in print and with follow-up
telephone discussions.
Over 80% of survey respon
dents had extremely positive
things to say about the Library,
but there is always room for
improvement. Many respon
dents wanted to see more
programming and materials. In
addition, there was interest in
incorporating more technology
in the Library. As a result of
the surveys and analysis, the
Library will focus on the
following areas for 2017-2019:
• Quick, easy access to
services and materials
• Educational and entertain
ment materials and
programs for all ages
• Comfortable, adaptable
interior spaces
• Technology enhancements
and improvements
Over the next three years, we
will roll out new services for
our community. In 2017, we
intend to increase the number
of copies we have of highdemand materials, and, we
will begin to restructure and
enhance our programming
options,
The Board adopted plan can be
found at deerfleldlibrary.org/
strategic-plan.
Amy Falasz-Peterson
Library Director
• Archive and preserve
photographs, 35mm film
strips, and slides by convert
ing them to high resolution
digital formats which can be
restored and printed.
The Digital Media Lab is
available by appointment for
Deerfield Public Library
cardholders at least 14 years
of age.

The Deerfield Public Library is
thrilled to announce the third annual
Tburnament of Books! Voting begins
February 21 so check out our Spring
Browsing for specific dates and more
details.
If your child has a cold, fever, strep throat, or head lice, we
recommend that you hold off on bringing them to the
Libraiy. We all know how easily these things can spread
between children (and adults)!
We have a better idea for getting something for your child to
read during this time:
1. Simply call the Youth Services department at 847-580-8962.
2. We can make recommendations, select materials, and put them on the self-service
Holds shelf.

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.

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
possibilities.

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.
