�From the Director
In August 2022, the Library conducted
a community survey to see how we can
improve our services. This survey was the
first step in updating our strategic plan. We
promoted the survey on our website, social
media, newsletters and in-house. We had over
520 responses. And, I’m happy to report that
most of our survey respondents are satisfied
with the services the Library provides.
Our survey responders want more of all the things that the
Library provides. Most survey takers (42%) also visit the Library
once a week. (If you’re a regular reader of this column, you know
that I grew up visiting my local public library branch weekly, so I
appreciate that this is still a thing!)
More than 360 survey takers are interested in expanding our
Library of Things collection. An equal number is interested in
the Library having more special STEM programs as well.
We heard that people are interested in additional comfortable
seating and study areas.
In addition, survey takers want to learn more about the services
that they didn’t know we had. We are committed to effectively
promoting our resources and services, and will work creatively
to meet that need. One great way to learn more about our
services is through our twice monthly e-newsletter. It is a
quick and informative read. If you’re not yet a subscriber, sign
up today! The link is on the lower left of the front page of our
website (deerfieldlibrary.org).
This year, the Board will approve a new Strategic Plan using
some of the data from the survey. This will help our staff
continue to make DPL an even better public library. Watch our
website for more information.
As always, please feel free to reach out to me with any questions
or comments at amy@deerfieldlibrary.org.
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director
DPL Tournament of Books: 10th Season!
Was your vote one of the 17,441 votes cast in last year’s DPL Tournament of Books? Did your favorite book make it to the Championship
Round? If not, then maybe this year a new favorite will make it to the
top in what we expect to be the most exciting season ever. Yes, get
ready for the 10th anniversary season of the Tournament of Books!
If you’re new to the Tournament, last year readers voted for their
favorite picture books, early readers, graphic novels, chapter books,
juvenile fiction and non-fiction, and teen titles. Voting is open to all
ages! Voting is online at deerfieldlibrary.org/tournament-of-books,
and DPS 109 students can vote in their school library.
In celebration of the 10th season of the Tournament, we will
be introducing two new brackets: Series and Manga. The
Series bracket was a suggestion from readers and experienced
Tournament participants: Lucy Bohrer and Charlie Plocker, both
5th grade students at Wilmot.
DPL School Outreach Coordinator Kary Henry (and Tournament
coordinator) recently visited Wilmot School to get some Tournament
insights from Lucy, Charlie, and the school’s Library Information
Specialist, Andrea Lathan.
Lucy and Charlie say they really enjoy participating in the annual
event. “The Tournament gets me thinking about what genres I most
like to read,” said Lucy. One of her favorites is historical fiction. Charlie
also likes historical fiction, and is a fan of sports-themed fiction. “I
enjoy participating in the Tournament because I find out about new
titles, and end up reading books that I might otherwise not have tried
out,” said Charlie.
When the Tournament was first introduced in 2013, there were only
117 votes cast. But for the second year, DPL began a partnership with
DPS 109, and participation grew exponentially. Ms. Henry is grateful
to the schools’ Library Media Specialists: “Without their support, we
would never reach this many students and garner this many votes!”
A couple of frequently asked questions about the Tournament are:
• How are the books selected for the initial Round of 32? They are
the highest circulating books at DPL during the previous year.
• How many times can you vote? As many times as you want!
Charlie and Lucy both say they vote about five times per round,
and a few times more for books they really love. “Yes, the
competitive spirit heats up when you really love a book,” said
Ms. Lathan. “I’ve seen some students vote 20-30 times for one title!”
“When we are in line waiting to vote in the Tournament, we often
discuss the books and find out how people plan to vote,” said Lucy.
Charlie makes a point that “the discussions do not sway his vote,”
and Lucy seconded that.
With the tips from Lucy, Charlie, and Ms. Lathan in hand, get ready
and get reading for Tournament of Books 2023. Voting starts April 4.
Vote early, vote often! @ deerfieldlibrary.org/tournament-of-books

Thursday Book Discussions
IS Hov/ to Eat a Small Country: A Family’s Pursuit
of Happiness, One Meal at a Time
by Amy Finley
July 12,10:30 a.m. at the Patty Turner Center
When the author wins a Food Network competition
and lands her own television show, her husband
declares he does not want to be married to a
celebrity. Determined to save their already
shaky marriage, Finley instead moves her family
to France.
■ The Weird Sisters by Eleanor Brown
July 19, 7:30 p.m. at Barnes & Noble—
Deerfield Square
The Andreas sisters love reading but have little
else in common. Rose never left their hometown,
Bean lives a fast life in New York, and Cordy floats
around as a gypsy. When their mother is diagnosed
with cancer the sisters are forced to interact with
each other as a family instead of hiding behind
a book.
■ Crescent by Diana Abu-Jabar
August 9,10:30 a.m. at the Patty Turner Center
The love story of Sirine, an L.A. born, half-Arab
blonde chef and Hanif, an exiled Iraqi professor
with a mysterious past. Their story takes place
among the scents of Sirine’s cooking at a Middle
Eastern cafe. Thought- provoking and enchanting,
you will become immersed in the delightful
characters of Crescent.
■ Buddha in the Attic by Julie Otsuka
August 16, 7:30 p.m. at Barnes & Noble—
Deerfield Square
Follow the journey of eight “picture brides” who
travel by boat from Japan to San Francisco to
meet the Japanese workers they have agreed to
marry. Their stories of hope, family, culture, and
compromise span from the early 20th century to
the time of Japanese internment during World
War II.

Across the
Librarian's Desk
r
irst of all, I would like to thank the
voters who supported the Library
referendum. They grasped that a new
library is needed in Deerfield and that it
would be an exciting resource for the whole
community, providing a wider range of
educational, cultural, and information ser
vices to everyone. Also, I would like to thank
Bill Darrow and the Friends of the Library
for their enthusiastic efforts on our behalf.
Secondly, I truly appreciate the thoughtful
endorsement of the Library referendum made
by the editorial staff of the Deerfield Review.
Diverse opinions as shown in the ballot box
are the foundation and the beauty of a
democracy. That’s why the Library chose to
go to the voters to determine if the desire to
expand the Library was reflected in the
community. After three years of planning, we
knew it was important to hear what all the
residents had to say. We had tried our best to
publicize our planning process: we had
articles in every issue of our Browsing
newsletter for the past three years and
numerous articles in the Deerfield Review,
plus our one-thousand-respondent citizen
survey and twelve focus groups. We held a
library open house and provided ample
settings for the community to ask questions.
The next step would have been to hire an
architect and a library consultant to design a
library and produce architectural plans. That
step would, by necessity, have been a very
expensive one. Before that was done, we
needed to know exactly what the residents
were willing to pay for.

25 Years of Cooperation Between the
Deerfield Schools and the Library!
Students’ lack of library know-how led Geri Spinella, (then a language arts teacher,
now assistant principal of Caruso Middle School), to consult with Jack Hicks, (then
a reference librarian, now library director) to begin a joint library instruction
program that has been running for 25 years. The program was designed to bring
students into the public library to learn how to use library resources. Jack Hicks
said, “Our goal was to widen students’ horizons for doing their assignments. We
have many resources that the schools do not have. As Deerfield Library was among
the first libraries in Illinois to
offer new information tech
nology, Geri was anxious for
students to learn new tech
nologies. Also, since we are
open evenings and weekends,
students can come in to use
library materials after school
hours...good value for
Deerfield taxpayers whose
children are in school!”
This program requires hours
of coordination between the
teacher and the librarian, scheduling times, selecting topics, and preparing many
resources. Once here the students also work with the Youth Services and
Circulation Departments. The Library welcomes this opportunity to show young
users what the public library has to offer, particularly online magazine databases
with full-text articles, available for printing or emailing. Also, the students are
pleased to find that, with their library cards, they can use home internet access to
reach the Library’s online databases.
This January and February eight Caruso Middle School classes came into the
Library twice for an hour each time to pursue their personal research projects.
Coordinators were Judy Hortin, Head of Reference, and Caruso language arts
teacher Leslie Gordon. Leslie, who has been with the program for 20 years, said,
“For many of our students, it is an eye opening experience to see how much they
can find in the Library on one topic.”
Both the Library and Caruso hope that this cooperative mission gives students a
skill that will serve them throughout their academic careers and beyond.

continued from page 1
Built in 1970, and not designed for technolo
gy, our building has reached the limits of its
structure. All available space has been used.
Starting in 1991 and ending in 1996, the
Library underwent renovations to maximize
the use of the space potential in the building
and bring it as close as possible to Americans
with Disabilities Act standards. Those
renovations were designed to give the Library ten to fifteen years
added lifespan. The goals of the remodeling have been reached but
can go no further.
Over the past three years, through surveys and resident input we
have heard clearly that our residents want the Library to remain
where it is in the center of town. We have also heard from residents
that they want more services, more meeting room space, more
programs, books and other materials. Currently, we must turn a
sympathetic but deaf ear to these requests.
The result of the vote leaves us with few immediate options other
than to redefine service within the present building. Library staff are
pursuing alternatives for the replacement of the roof membrane, air
handlers, and air conditioning condensers and compressors. These
repairs can mean expensive investment in an aging structure. The
vote also means the closing of the window of opportunity to pur
chase adjacent property for logical expansion. A number of civic
leaders have spoken about the importance of this quadrant remaining
the “governmental” quadrant, but that is now beyond Library control.
Some people have urged me to move heaven and earth to purchase
the apartment building to the north of the Library. Such a move
would break faith with the intentions of the taxpayers and is not one
I will initiate. Though loss of that land limits our future options,
frankly we do not have the resources to purchase that building—that
would take third-party intervention.
This is the first time in thirty-five years we have asked Deerfield
taxpayers to approve a referendum. The Library, in fact, has a
spotless record of operating within budget over those thirty-five
years. Much has been said about the size and cost of our proposed
library. In the past ten years, all over the United States, there has
been a renaissance of library building. At the same time more than
twenty-five libraries have been built in Chicagoland. We are very
familiar with all of this construction and the opportunities it has
brought to their communities.
These new libraries do indeed represent a point of departure over
libraries of the past. The communities that have built new libraries
have observed that in the age of Internet, the need for library service
has not diminished but has grown. Contemporary libraries are techni
cally and structurally complex buildings that are expensive. Add to
that the fact that structural steel and aluminum have risen in price
over 30% in the past year, and the cost of new libraries comes into
perspective.
We will continue to do what we have always done best: address the
needs of the community for the future and keep abreast of emerging
library trends in technology, programs, services, and materials. To
those ends the Board has been working with the Executive Service
Corps to begin work on a strategic plan that will address the future of
this building and user services, all based on progressive professional,
personal service. The Board is committed to providing vision and
leadership to ensure that the Library is not on a trajectory that could
see it fall behind libraries in neighboring communities.
