3.
OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PUBLIC TO ADDRESS THE BOARD, and CORRESPONDENCE
No request to address the Board.
CONSENT AGENDA
Mr. Ron Simon asked to pull the monthly financial reports, the variance report, and the minutes from the
Consent Agenda for further discussion,
a. Minutes: Regular meeting May 20
Mr. Howard Handler noted that in the May 20th minutes, the votes did not specify who abstained and who
voted 'aye'. He pointed out that the three new board members, Jean Reuther, Maureen Wener and he,
were not present for those meetings and therefore chose to abstain from the vote to approve the minutes.
MOTION: Mr. Ken Abosch made a motion to approve the minutes of May 20th with corrections showing who
abstained and who voted for the minutes presented at that meeting, seconded by Mr. Schriftman
Vote: 6 yes - Ken Abosch, Howard Handler, Jean Reuther, Seth Schriftman, Ron Simon, and Maureen Wener.
The motion was approved.
b.
Financials: Balance Sheet, Revenues and Expenses, Variance report, Investments Report
Mr. Seth Schriftman pointed out that an entry on the Revenue and Expense Report, under the prior year,
had been entered in the wrong cell. Noting that this is a problem with creating financial reports in Excel, he
said that the Finance Committee will be considering how to address financial software issues.
MOTION: Mr. Schriftman made a motion to approve the monthly financial reports, seconded by Ms. Jean
Reuther
Vote: 6 yes - Ken Abosch, Howard Handler, Jean Reuther, Seth Schriftman, Ron Simon, and Maureen Wener.
The motion was approved.
Mr. Simon noted that the Variance Report said that the total revenue received year-to-date is substantially
less than the expenditures made. He asked Ms. Trisha Steele to explain the disparity.
Ms. Steele outlined the Library's annual cash flow, which primarily consists of two months of cash inflows,
June and September real estate tax receipts, but fairly consistent expenditures made every month. This
cash flow pattern requires planning sufficient funds available to cover numerous months each year.
MOTION: Mr. Schriftman made a motion to approve the Variance Report, seconded by Ms. Maureen Wener
Vote: 6 yes - Ken Abosch, Howard Handler, Jean Reuther, Seth Schriftman, Ron Simon, and Maureen Wener.
The motion was approved.

Regular Meeting Minutes
June 17, 2015
4. TREASURER REPORT
a. List of checks and payments for approval
Mr. Schriftman presented the list of checks to be approved for payment, which included
Electronic payments from the E-Pay Illinois Funds account
230.06
Petty cash checks 488 through 491
170.40
General Fund checks 8902 through 8975
85.556.70
The total amount presented for approval was
$85.957.16
Ms. Maureen Wener asked for information about a purchase of pens in excess of $700. Ms. Anthony
explained that these are the pens provided throughout the Library as promotional as well as functional
items and they are purchased in a large bulk.
MOTION: Mr. Abosch made a motion to approve the list of checks and payments, seconded by Ms. Jean
Reuther.
Vote: 6 yes - Ken Abosch, Howard Handler, Jean Reuther, Seth Schriftman, Ron Simon, and Maureen Wener.
The motion was approved.
b.
Update: Cash management procedures
Mr. Schriftman reviewed the process for replenishing the petty cash fund account, noting that an early
resolution authorizes the Business Manager to perform this activity. He also raised a question about
whether the Board needs to give specific authority to the Director to move funds between accounts. After
some discussion, it was determined that cash management is a basic responsibility of the Director.
Mr. Schriftman noted that budget discussions will need to begin only a few weeks after the new Director has
arrived. He asked members to consider broad-stroke goals for the next year so that staff can be given
preliminary guidance for the preparation of a budget proposal. Mr. Simon noted that Ms. Pergander, the
previous Director, had left a list of suggestions that need to be considered. Ms. Anthony said she would
consult with the Management Team regarding current needs. Mr. Schriftman noted that the Board was
interested, for example, in purchasing another memorial, such as leaves on a tree for donors. This will need
to be included in the budgeting process and members should consider if there are other such items.
c.
Resolution to establish plan coordinator for ICMA retirement program
Ms. Steele explained that the ICMA voluntary retirement savings plan was established by the Board in 1993.
At that time, the Treasurer was identified as the Library's account administrator. She outlined how the
management and laws governing IRS 457 plans have changed over the years and pointed out that the Village
Finance Director has, in fact, acted as the account administrator, processing enrollees and changes in
participation. She recommended changing the position responsible for account administration to the Village
Finance Director, who has agreed to continue performing this function.
MOTION: Mr. Schriftman made a motion to approve a resolution to change the account administrator for the
ICMA 457 Retirement Savings Plan from the Library's Board Treasurer to the Village Finance Director, seconded
by Ms. Wener.
Vote: 6 yes - Ken Abosch, Howard Handler, Jean Reuther, Seth Schriftman, Ron Simon, and Maureen Wener.
The motion was approved.
Mr. Schriftman pointed out that each Board member had received a copy of the final draft of the 2014 Audited
financial reports and Auditor's Letter to the Board.

5. FRIENDS LIAISON REPORT
Ms. Susan Karp, President of the Friends of Deerfield Library Board, introduced Ms. Sue Gottlieb as another
member of the Friends' Board.
Ms. Gottlieb provided an update regarding the recent activities and plans of the Friends. Her discussion
included Farmers' Market plans, July 18 Cookbook & Children's Book Sale and the upcoming Zucchini Day.
Library Board members were encouraged to join. Ms. Karp reviewed the group's financial goals and
accomplishments. She also noted that the Friends Board is looking to fill additional board positions. There was
a request to a contact former Library Board member and Ms. Steele said she would follow-up on that request.
Item 9 d. - Discussion of thefts from The Friends of the Deerfield Public Library Book area and response to letter
from the Friends' Board
Mr. Simon asked to move this item up on the agenda to accommodate the representatives of the Friends. There
was no dissent. He outlined the problem regarding a patron that has been stealing books from the Friends area.
The intention of providing the books was discussed, noting that it is not meant as the provision of free materials
or as a sale of merchandise, but to encourage donations in support of the Library.
Ms. Anthony reviewed information she found regarding past incidents and legal advice. Alternative solutions
were discussed, including changing the sign, the process for collecting donations, and the security system. Mr.
Simon noted that communication between the Library and the Friends will improve.
MOTION: Mr. Abosch made a motion to direct the Interim Director to try to locate the person responsible for
the thefts, send a letter regarding the purpose of the Friends books, and to advise him that any future actions
could result in further action by the Board. The motion was seconded by Ms. Reuther.
Vote: 6 yes - Ken Abosch, Howard Handler, Jean Reuther, Seth Schriftman, Ron Simon, and Maureen Wener.
The motion was approved.
6. VILLAGE LIAISON REPORT
Mr. Bill Seiden introduced himself to the new Board members and provided a brief outline of his experience
with libraries and in Deerfield. He reviewed items relating to the Village that could impact the Library, included
the placement of a marijuana distribution site in Deerfield, and the water meter replacement program.
7.
LIBRARY DIRECTOR REPORT
At the meeting, Ms. Anthony first addressed items b, c and d before returning to item a - highlights of her
written report.
a. Highlights from Director's written report
Ms. Anthony reviewed the success of the Summer Reading Program kickoff. Marketing and public access to
the program was discussed.
The availability of new resources was discussed, including new l-macs for patrons, help desk software for
staff, and an extension of outreach efforts.
Changes in staffing occurred in May, when nine Pages were promoted to Library Aides, in recognition of
additional responsibilities performed by the staff.
A police incident that occurred on June 8th was reviewed.
b.
Update - Replacement of main electrical switch and Library closure on June 2
Ms. Anthony reviewed how the main panel had been damaged in June 2014 by rainwater. She explained
the process for the repair work performed by Carey Electric and noted that an additional leak site was
discovered and also repaired. The building was reopened to the public on June 3rd, earlier than anticipated.
Carey Electric will return to install a meter when the part becomes available.

Ms. Anthony announced that the upcoming upgrade to the 3M self-check stations will include 19" wide
monitors which will be used to promote Library programs and resources.
Update - Loss of DVDs and Blu-rays, and action taken
Ms. Anthony reported that the Library had experienced a number of losses of DVDs and Blu-rays in the last
four to six months and that the loss had been reported to the Police on May 20th. She reviewed changes in
processes to address the issue, including the installation of an additional security camera.
Mr. Abosch said that input from other libraries shows that there is a cost-benefit consideration in
implementing theft-prevention measures.

c.
Email addresses for board members @deerfieldlibrary.org and instructions for accessing email remotely
Ms. Anthony reviewed the option for this email address and asked Board members to email Mr. Tom
Owen, Head of IT, if it is desired. Mr. Handler described the advantage of having the Library conserve the
emails for FOIA purposes, where the burden will be on the Library to provide them, should they be
requested. Mr. Abosch asked Mr. Seiden how the Village Board members handle their board-related email.
Mr. Seiden said that each Village Board member uses his/her own personal email address.

f.
Update from Memorials Committee
Mr. Simon, the Chair of the Memorials Committee, reviewed his research regarding how other Libraries
have honored people, named rooms, processed gift giving, etc. He explained that the Library's current
gifting policies are weak. The Committee's goal is to establish clear guidance for the Board to use when
taking action. Also, it will be helpful for future boards to maintain the reason a room is named for
someone. He reviewed some of the ideas under consideration, including mounting a tree whose leaves
include names of donors at the top of the stairway, and the use of nameplates stating "Donated by...''. Mr.
Simon invited all members to participate in the Committee's discussions. Ms. Wener asked to join the
Committee.
g.
Schedule next Committee Meeting
Mr. Simon announced that he would send out information regarding the next committee meeting options,
blind-copying each Board member, noting that no group conversation can occur outside of a public
meeting. The agenda and date will be provided to the office in sufficient time to post the meeting.
Other-The Board members reviewed the July Fourth activity plans.
h.
Discussion of Sunday hours
Mr. Schriftman reviewed the current scheduling and compensation for Sundays and stated that he had
been asked about extending the hours. There was discussion regarding the impact of a change in Sunday
hours and how those issues could be addressed. Mr. Simon stated that the Strategic Planning process is
the place to consider this, along with the many other issues raised, such as adding staff, changing
compensation practices, and whether new objectives will justify changing the current staffing levels. There
was some discussion regarding the process of strategic planning and members discussed various options
for addressing the processes and how other public entities have handled the process.
Other-The Board members discussed changing Board meeting times to accommodate lengthy Board
discussions and how the public might have access to the meeting should they wish to join it after 9:00 p.m.
when the front doors are locked. Resolutions considered included: a doorbell, a sign on the door, keeping
a staff member at the front door, sending the issue back to committee, and holding the meeting at the
Village Hall. Mr. Handler suggested that an off-duty officer could be employed in case someone might
want to enter the building. Mr. Abosch noted that, in the last ten years, there has not been a single time
when anyone came to attend a meeting mid-way, much less at the end.
10. EXECUTIVE SESSION
No executive session held.
11. ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business, Mr. Schriftman made a motion to adjourn, seconded by Ms. Reuther. The
motion was approved and the meeting was adjourned.

Ms. Wener to consider acting as one of the Board liaisons.

funding since the State was reducing the Village's revenues. Mr. Seiden explained that the Library's revenue
source, the property tax levy, is a separate source that is not affected by Village actions.
8.
LIBRARY DIRECTOR REPORT
a. Highlights from Director's written report
Ms. Pergander shared the following highlights: This is my last monthly report for the Board. I have greatly
appreciated the opportunity to serve this community, and I appreciate all the support I have received from
the Board. All the staff members appreciated the treats provided by the board for National Library Week.
The chairs in Youth Services were replaced by the manufacturer due to fabric flaws resulting in premature
wear and splitting. Claire Steiner, Ellen Kaiser, along with other managers and staff members, successfully
combined the lower level service desks, and also created a new seating area using furnishings already in the
building. Tony Keaton and Meg Anthony are prepared for the two day electrical work, and Judy Hoffman and
others are creating an information campaign to alert the public. We have contracted for two large flower
pots for the outer front entrance, which the landscapers will fill three times seasonally per year. Members of
the management team are pitching in to support Meg as Interim, with certain redundancies of training
helping assure a smooth transition and adequate coverage of key responsibilities. Trisha Steele helped
arrange for free chair massages for staff members to celebrate National Library Week. The Park District,
Village, and Library are continuing talks to improve coordination of health care plans. There are only minor
changes in charges at this time, pending more information late fall. The audit is nearing completion. There
were 59 reservations for the large meeting rooms last month. Ellen Kaiser of Patron services received $355
of materials returned after she sent personal reminder letters last month. Six Assistants are attending
Reaching Forward. Sayaka Suzuki staffed a recruiting table at the jobs fair at Trinity University. All current
Pages were promoted to Library Aide. The Support Services department is cleaning about 30 discs per day.
Pam Skittino also oversaw the addition of Picture Books, Adult Nonfiction, and Adult Fiction as new catalog
options. We had our highest circulation ever in 2014 at 485,518. Also, Youth programming attendance has
increased from 4,761 to 13,500 in two years, while Adult similarly increased from 808 to 3201 in the same
period.
b. Thank You from staff for the wonderful staff appreciation treats
See above.
c. Loss of DVDs and Blu-rays, and action taken
In addition to the addition of the security camera mentioned above, we are reporting the losses to police,
and are taking other steps to secure the collection.

Regular Meeting Minutes

d. Server room HVAC issues
We have had very serious humidity issues in the Library and the server room, with humidity reaching over
80%. The Engineer who designed the system has been contacted and is checking the entire system design
e.
f.
g-
for areas needing attention.
Social media and staff Intranet update
There is significantly increased activity on our social media reach and engagement in just the past few weeks
after the arrival of our new Digital Media Coordinator. We are adding one security camera to the Media area
while evaluating other future additions. Tom Owen conducted a staff survey about proposed Intranet
improvements, and he is targeting the top requests by staff for the first rounds of improvements.
Update - Zingerman's customer service training half-day for staff
Ms. Pergander reviewed the nine-month history of the move to incorporate Zingerman's principles, initially
introduced by Ellen Kaiser. In April, the Library staff attended a half day session led by a Zingerman's trainer.
It was very well received by staff.
Update - GIVING button for donations, and related donation information
The proposed GIVING button has been implemented, and the button leads to a page offering the
opportunity to donate to the Friends or the Library.
Mr. Abosch asked about the uses of surveillance cameras in the Library where thefts have occurred, how they
will help when patrons can move materials anywhere in the Library, and whether there would be signage. Ms.
Pergander confirmed that signage is already posted. There was some discussion regarding other actions the
Library might take to address the loss of materials, including checking Amazon for the sale of similar items but
with missing cases, moving the collections, and increasing supervision in the areas of theft.
9.
OLD BUSINESS
a. Approval of Library Director lump sum performance-based salary adjustment
Mr. Simon said that the Board had discussed the suggested lump sum performance-based salary
adjustment previously in a closed session. He explained the timing of the annual salary adjustments and
the purpose of the proposed payment.
MOTION: Mr. Schriftman made a motion to approve the lump sum performance-based salary adjustment of
$800 to the Library Director, seconded by Mr. Abosch
Vote: 7 yes - Ken Abosch, Michael Goldberg, Howard Handler, Jean Reuther, Seth Schriftman, Ron Simon, and
Maureen Wener. The motion was approved.
b.
Recommendation to not release to the public closed minutes reviewed at the April 15 closed meeting
session
The process for releasing closed minutes was discussed. Mr. Abosch noted that a review and
reconsideration of all closed minutes is required every six months and that action must be taken only in
open session. Ms. Pergander said that the closed minutes are retained on tape, as well as in written form.
Mr. Howard Handler asked how old the closed minutes are. It was explained that some are from the mid2000's. Those that have to do with particularly sensitive personnel or lawsuit issues have been kept closed.
Mr. Simon reviewed the advice given by legal counsel, and noted that closed minutes can be opened in the
future if the Board members choose to take that action.
MOTION: Mr. Goldberg made a motion to not release to the public the closed minutes reviewed at the April 15
closed meeting session, seconded by Mr. Schriftman
Vote: 5 yes - Ken Abosch, Michael Goldberg, Jean Reuther, Seth Schriftman, and Ron Simon.

This item was covered under the Director's Report.
Farmer's Market dates (Aug. 1, Sept. 26) and assignments for Board members
Mr. Simon reviewed what usually occurs at the Village of Deerfield Farmers' Market. He said that the
primary purpose is to see the public, answer questions, and to collect input and suggestions. He explained
that staff set up the table and materials, and Board members usually man the booth between 9:00 a.m. to
noon. There are typically two Board members for each date, although more members are welcomed.
Ms. Pergander noted that staff covers two other Farmers' Market dates and representatives from the
Friends group are present on other dates too.
Ms. Reuther & Mr. Abosch volunteered to man the booth on August 1st. Ms. Wener said that she is available
for both dates. Mr. Handler and Mr. Schriftman volunteered to cover the booth on September 26th.
10. NEW BUSINESS
a. Recommendation to hire new Library Director
Mr. Simon explained the director search process and thanked Mr. Abosch for his leadership on the search
committee.
Mr. Abosch reviewed the offer letter provided and said that it had been accepted. He then reviewed some
of the experience that Ms. Amy Falasz-Peterson has as a Director, including a referendum and a
collaborative building project.
Ms. Wener asked why Ms. Falasz-Peterson is changing jobs. Mr. Abosch explained that, although she really
enjoys her current position, she is originally from this area; also there is a higher usage of the library in
Deerfield and there are other challenges and opportunities here. Mr. Simon added that Ms. FalaszPeterson was not looking for a new position when the consultant contacted her.
Mr. Abosch reviewed the basic structure of offer, including the annual salary and wage per pay period,
establishing goals, the performance-based bonus target and maximum, the Board's performance review,
and a signing bonus that can be used to assist with relocation expenses and previously established vacation
plans. He stated that other aspects of the offer are all in accordance with the Library's established
employment practices and personnel policies.
MOTION: Mr. Goldberg made a motion to approve hiring Ms. Amy Falasz-Peterson, in accordance with the
package as presented by Mr. Abosch, seconded by Mr. Schriftman
Vote: 7 yes - Ken Abosch, Michael Goldberg, Howard Handler, Jean Reuther, Seth Schriftman, Ron Simon, and
Maureen Wener. The motion was approved.

c.

Mr. Simon described the process for choosing an Interim Director and the responsibilities that person will
handle. He recommended that Ms. Meg Anthony, the current Head of Youth Services, be approved as the
Interim Director.

by Ms. Jean Reuther.

e.
Scheduling of Board Orientation Session - Financials
Mr. Schriftman discussed the financial review processes and board responsibilities. He encouraged all
Board members to attend. He said the session is typically a Saturday morning, between 9:30 and 11:30
a.m. Ms. Trisha Steele, Business Manager, will coordinate the date and time of the upcoming session.
f.
Banned patron review and recommendation regarding privileges
Mr. Simon reviewed the process used for banning a patron, and he also reviewed the communication
provided for a particular case. There was discussion about particular behavior that involved children, which
came to light after the original communications were made, and whether the banning process needed to
be renewed. Ms. Reuther asked Ms. Anthony, Head of Youth Services, for her input. Ms. Anthony
discussed the rise in unattended children, which makes the described behavior more troubling.
Mr. Goldberg pointed out that a ban communicates how seriously the Board takes certain behavior. He
noted that the Board needs to recognize that the patron in this case provided an immediate response, with
an apology and recognition of his actions. Mr. Goldberg asked the Board members what other specific
thing would need to happen to make a difference at a later time.
Safety concerns and the difficulty of the decision process were discussed, including how to weigh the rights
of patrons, staff, and children. Also discussed were the length of a ban, past legal advice, the reviewing
process, and the availability of information from other sources, such as the local police. The current
transition at the library and its impact on the situation was discussed. Various alternatives were aired.
MOTION: Mr. Simon made a motion to establish a three-month ban, to be lifted on September 1st, based on the
inappropriate behavior in the Quiet Room; and, that the patron be notified of the other incidents reported; the
motion was seconded by Ms. Wener.
Vote: 6 yes - Ken Abosch, Michael Goldberg, Jean Reuther, Seth Schriftman, Ron Simon, and Maureen Wener.
1 no - Howard Handler. The motion was approved.

g.
Recommendation to approve furnishings quote for Youth Services workstations, and discuss
plans for Support Services
Ms. Anthony reviewed the proposed changes to the Youth work area. She explained the department's
staffing plan, described the process for sharing desks, and the consequences to productivity.
MOTION: Mr. Goldberg made a motion to approve the recommended furnishing changes to the Youth
Department, at a cost not to exceed $4,000. Mr. Schriftman provided a second to the motion.
Vote: 7 yes - Ken Abosch, Michael Goldberg, Howard Handler, Jean Reuther, Seth Schriftman, Ron Simon, and
Maureen Wener. The motion was approved.
h.
Update from Memorials Committee
Mr. Simon asked that this item be added to the next Board meeting's agenda. He reviewed the mission of
committee, and the need for an improved and formal policy, noting that a case-by-case basis is not
sufficient.
Processes were discussed, including how research is conducted, the involvement of staff, and the Board's
engagement. Mr. Simon said he would like to have a committee meeting scheduled with all Board
members invited.
i.
REMINDER - Art Festival Preview Party, May 29, 6 to 8 pm, Village Hall
Ms. Pergander reviewed the Art Festival Preview Party, explaining that it is an opportunity to network with
the other Village movers and shakers. Mr. Abosch noted that spouses can be included but that attendance
does require an RSVP.
11. OTHER DISCUSSION ITEMS
a.
Mr. Schriftman asked about the protocol for Board member email addresses, noting that one member has
an email address at deerfieldlibrary.org. Mr. Handler said that using this email address will help to avoid
FOIA request complications, but Ms. Pergander explained that a FOIA request could be placed for all Board
member emails regardless of the email address. Ms. Wener said providing board email addresses
@deerfieldlibrary.org seems like a good idea and it was suggested that the idea be placed on next
meeting's agenda.
b.
Mr. Abosch inquired how closed session minutes can be approved without releasing them. Ms. Pergander
said that the minute dates can be placed on the next agenda.
12. EXECUTIVE SESSION

8. LIBRARY DIRECTOR REPORT
The Library Director, Ms. Pergander, provided the following information:
a. Highlights from Director's written report
Since there are currently no Goals identified for 2015, the report focused on other activities. We are
preparing to launch two new e-newsletters, featuring programs of interest for patrons. New patron
computers have been deployed and are faster, safer, and easier to use. The annual audit is underway and
proceeding smoothly. There were 73 meeting room set-ups in March. The planned $991,000 transfer of
funds was completed. Pinterest has gone live. Our Digital Media Coordinator has received a promotion from
a former employer and will be leaving soon. Apple computers for Youth have been deployed and are quite
popular. Apple computers for adults will follow soon. We successfully completed the food drive for West
Deerfield Township food pantry. Nina Michaels, our Teen Librarian, participated in the Optimists youth
recognition ceremony by presenting certificates to teen volunteers form our teen program. The Youth and
Support Services area workspaces need additional and realigned configurations and furnishings. The
department heads and Director met with a furnishings consultant to plan these changes and obtain quotes.
The rolling chairs in the Youth study rooms have been replaced at no charge by the manufacturer because of
fabric problems. The replacement of the main electrical panel due to water damage form the summer 2014
flood has been approved by our insurance company and will take place on June 2 and 3. The Library will be
closed for those two days. A communications plan will be in place to notify community members of the
closure, and staff will be paid for the time as for snow days. There have been a number of recent DVD thefts.
This is being carefully tracked and some changes are being made to reduce risk. Judy Hoffman has
registered the Board for the July 4 parade, and red, white, and blue rubber bracelets will be the giveaways. If
the Teen volunteers join the Board in walking for the parade, we will be sure that a responsible staff
member is with them at all times until the end of the parade. Board members wear Board-logo polo shirts,
and we are buying them for the new Board members as well. Ms. Pergander also shared the new charts
about the Library collections and usage, which the Board appreciated. These were developed by Pam
Skittino. Ms. Pergander reported that a patron was recently temporarily banned for multiple violations of
the patron Behavior Policy. Because this occurred just before the Board meeting, she will bring the case next
month for further discussion, after obtaining more details.
b. Update regarding art purchases made possible by Friends' donation
The "robot" prints have been ordered, and will be matted and framed. These were made possible by the
Friends of the Deerfield Library as part of the recent Wish List pledge.
c. Update: Combination of lower level service desks and create seating area using existing furnishings
Next week we will be combining the two lower level service desks and also creating a new seating area on
the lower level. Staff members have been included in preparing for the changes, to assure role clarity. To
avoid staff injuries, we are using a moving company to move the large, heavy pieces.
d. Health insurance update for next year
The Library, Village, and Park District met about the health insurance pool and future changes due to
Obamacare. At the current time only minor pricing changes are being made, until the issues can be studied
further for implementation at the beginning of 2016.
In further discussion, Mr. Goldberg asked about the quantity of the July 4th give-a-ways. Mr. Abosch
suggested increasing the quantity by another 500-1000, to assure we have enough.
Ms. Pergander will follow-up, and added that any bracelets left over can be used at the County Fair or for
other events. Mr. Rivlin suggested using the bracelets to promote web traffic by including a mark (star?) on
a few for winners. Mr. Abosch suggested that perhaps it could be implemented at another event, such as
the Farmers Market. Ms. Pergander will look into it.

Regular Meeting Minutes
April 15, 2015
Mr. Simon asked about the new Administrative Associate. Ms. Trisha Steele explained that Ms. Mary
Holtrop, an experienced Business Manager from Sycamore Library, had recently joined the Business Office
staff and will provide about ten hours of business office assistance per week, replacing an employee who
left for a full time position elsewhere.
9. OLD BUSINESS
a. Reminder of new board member orientation on April 25, and May 20 swearing in of new Board members
Mr. Simon announced the upcoming orientation session, noting that it will start at 9:30 a.m. Mr. Goldberg,
Ms. Pergander, and Mr. Simon outlined the plans for the orientation and May 20th meeting, when the new
Board members will be sworn-in. The Farewell Event for Ms. Pergander, on May 21st, was also discussed.
b.
Update - GIVING button for donations, and related donation information
Ms. Pergander noted that the Giving Policy needs to be finalized and Mr. Simon asked that the Board be
provided a summary.
c.
Update - Recruitment of new Library Director
Mr. Abosch reviewed the progress of the new director selection process. He said that Ms. Lynn Elam has
recommended four candidates for the Board's consideration. Next Monday the Search Committee plans to
review the recommended candidates and determine who should be finalists. The Committee also plans to
consider the logistics for the next steps in the selection process, including the naming of a possible Interim
Director. Mr. Abosch also asked Ms. Pergander if there are viable candidates in-house for providing interim
coverage as there is some interest from outside.
He also outlined the importance of the candidates' interactions with staff and asked how it might be
structured to accomplish two purposes: 1) to provide interaction with staff for the candidate, and 2) to get
staff input.
Mr. Simon asked to have staff send possible interview questions that staff have to Mr. Abosch so that the
Board can consider them.
d.
Follow-up regarding automatic interior doors
Ms. Pergander outlined the steps taken to address a concern regarding automatic interior doors. She said
she had contacted the patron who originally notified the Library about the issue and informed her of the
changes made so far to the door in the Quiet Room. The patron will check the door.
Mr. Abosch reported that he has watched for how other public buildings have handled this issue, and noted
that there were no automatic doors available in a quiet room he found at the airport.
e.
Update - Replacement of main electrical switch
No information provided at this point in the meeting.
10. NEW BUSINESS
a. Letters of interest in Board officer positions for May election
Mr. Simon announced that three letters of interest have been submitted to date and that Board officers will
be elected in May, after the new members are sworn-in. Additional nominations will be possible at that
time.
b. Recommendation to purchase budgeted replacement server for Sierra System at a cost not to exceed $27,100
Ms. Pergander announced that the quote for the replacement server has been reduced to $25,725 and
added that the warranty is for three years.

Regular Meeting Minutes
April 15, 2015
MOTION: Mr. Rivlin made a motion to approve the purchase of a replacement server for the Sierra System at a
cost not to exceed $25,725 and it was seconded by Ms. Luisa Ellenbogen.
Vote: 6 yes - Ken Abosch, Luisa Ellenbogen, Michael Goldberg, Jeff Rivlin, Seth Schriftman, and Ron Simon. The
motion was approved.
Other item for discussion
Mr. Rivlin said that patrons continue to say that the Library still needs some warming elements, and that he
is particularly disappointed in the fireplace. He suggested that some modifications, such as logs, might help.
Mr. Rivlin encouraged the Board to explore new options because it was a high priority during the creation of
the Library Improvement Project.
Mr. Simon asked for additional comments and Mr. Schriftman agreed that the anticipated ambiance is
lacking, and creating more of a real fireplace appearance would help. Ms. Ellenbogen also noted that the
surrounding area is not very welcoming and is not used as often as other areas.
Mr. Simon shared a list of issues that he hopes the new Director might help the Board to address and
reviewed some of his own high priorities. He suggested that the appearance and function of the fireplace
area should be added to the list.
Additional ideas were suggested by the Board members regarding how to make the fireplace area seem
more like a reading nook, such as adding coffee table books, magazines, or the Lucky Duck collection to that
area.
Ms. Ellenbogen announced that the Staff Appreciation Event will be on April 23rd. She and Ms. Dembitz had
reviewed what was done in the previous year, which included evening shift pizzas as well as a breakfast, and
recommended that the same be provided. The logistics were discussed. The event is funded by the Board
members.
MOTION: Mr. Schriftman made a motion to move to a closed session for the purpose of reviewing prior closed
session minutes and to discuss personnel issues, as allowed by law. The motion was seconded by Ms. Ellenbogen.
Vote: 6 yes - Ken Abosch, Luisa Ellenbogen, Michael Goldberg, Jeff Rivlin, Seth Schriftman, and Ron Simon. The
motion was approved and the open session was closed at 8:25 p.m.
11. EXECUTIVE SESSIONa. Closed session minutes review and recommendation

Program, Adult programs, a BBC DVD collection, and youth discovery tables. Ms. Reich reported that the group
now has 70 members and is planning to build membership this year.
6.
VILLAGE LIAISON REPORT
Mr. Bill Seiden reviewed the activities of the Village meetings.
7.
LIBRARY DIRECTOR REPORT
The Library Director, Ms. Mary Pergander, provided the following information:
a. Highlights from Director's written report, including Preschool Fair, patron art donation offer, staff member
becoming Certified Genealogist, building issues
Our website had over 700 new visitors compared to the previous period. Tony Keaton has found a reliable,
inexpensive and permanent solution to the multiple issues of the front door locking mechanism. The solution
has been implemented and staff have expressed great appreciation that the issues are finally resolved. Two of
the three needed revisions to the Personnel Handbook have been completed and reported on elsewhere. The
development of proposed salary range changes has begun, using LACONI results. The audit preparations are
underway. We sprang a leak in the storage closet of meeting room C but caught it before damage was done.
Preventative measures were taken. (Mr. Abosch asked if anything can be installed to prevent the freezing of the
pipes. Ms. Pergander will follow-up on this.) One upper window in the Preschool pavilion mysteriously
cracked/shattered. The window was boarded up and a replacement has been ordered. Total meeting room set
ups for the month were 68. Additional assistance of about 6 hours per week is being explored. Six new groups
used the Library during the month, with 51 reservations total. The Center for Enriched Living is providing
volunteers twice a week to help dust the bookshelves. This is a vital service for us, and it is making a very
positive difference in our level of cleanliness, as well as providing valuable volunteer experience for the group.
Kary Henry coordinated our first Preschool Fair, to high acclaim by both the preschools and attendees. The
glowing reviews and a project summary were provided to the Board. Sayaka Suzuki and Judy Hoffman
represented the Library at the Lake Forest College job fair. We executed a Chamber e-blast for the small
business program, with registrations skyrocketing immediately afterward. We have contracted with a presenter
form Zingerman's to provide a half-day of customer service training for staff in late April. Support Services has
begun training staff members on serials functions, for cross-capabilities. The circulation in January was our
highest January ever recorded since we began in 2007. Similarly, there were 3,500 ebook downloads in the
month, compared to 2000 for the same month one year ago. Adult Services Librarian Anne Jamieson will be
pursuing Genealogy certification.
b.
Winter Wish List for Friends meeting - Update
A list of the Wish List items approved by the Friends was provided to the Board.
c.
Illinois Per Capita requirements for 2016-17
Ms. Pergander reviewed the 2015 Per Capita Grant requirements, with special focus on the Board's
responsibilities for the EDGE assessment discussions, since she will likely be gone before those take place.
Head of IT Tom Owen is completing the assessment, and can provide new leadership with the results, for

Regular Meeting Minutes

board discussion. This must be completed prior to September at the latest, so that the Grant application
reflects the completion of the requirement. Another requirement is the evaluation and fostering of
resource sharing options. Ms. Pergander recommends that the Board request that the management team
develop discussion points on this topic for the Board to evaluate and discuss.
Mr. Rivlin asked for clarification, recalling that last year he had reviewed the EDGE assessment materials for
the Board. Ms. Pergander clarified that last year we learned about assessment, now we must do it.
d. Progress report on salary schedule revisions based on LACONI 2014 survey
Ms. Pergander will bring proposed new schedules to the Board at the March meeting as planned, and will
discuss them first with Mr. Abosch.
e. Progress report on Policy review 2015 Ms. Pergander described the process to review all policies with the Board and update the complete manual
prior to her departure in May.
f. Plans regarding art purchases made possible by Friends' donation Since art-knowledgeable board members had given the green light previously, Ms. Pergander is proceeding
with a partial purchase of previously-selected art, using the money donated by the Friends.
g. Confirmation of date for honoring outgoing Board members Outgoing Board members will be honored at the April Board meeting.
h. Invitation to apply for Library Journal New Landmark Libraries Award
Upon further consideration, the Board and Ms. Pergander agreed that this award process is not feasible at
this time.
Mr. Rivlin asked about Library Journal Star Status. Ms. Pergander summarized that these are the libraries worthy
of exceptional recognition on a national level, based on four criteria used nationwide. She especially
appreciates advances such as increasing patron usage of computer services, which has moved us up in the
standings quite a bit compared to last year. There is a two to three year lag built into our reporting.
Mr. Rivlin suggested that Library might find ways to promote downloads with 4th of July Parade celebration and
library promotion.
Mr. Simon asked Ms. Pergander to confirm her final date, which will be Friday, May 29th.
8.
OLD BUSINESS
REVISED Prototype GIVE button for donations, and related donation
Ms. Pergander reviewed the changes made as requested at the last board meeting for the GIVE button,
which now says "GIVING" and is relocated in the DRAFT to the upper right of the Homepage. No content has
yet been developed, pending further approvals.
Report by Marla Dembitz on concerns expressed by Friends at recent meeting
i.
Ms. Dembitz reviewed a discussion held at the Friends' meeting regarding the Library's intention to
do passive fund raising. She explained that the Friends are concerned about causing confusion for
patrons, competition between the Library and the Friends group, tax accountability, and whether
such fund raising by the Library is too close to the recent tax referendum. She referenced the
Highland Park Library website use of a Library-based wish list as an example of the Friends'
concerns. Ms. Reich asked about the joint fund raising committee, where the Library and the
Friends could collaborate. She said the Friends may now be willing to allow usage of or support
grant opportunities which require the need of a 501(c) 3 status, which the Friends obtained several
years ago. Ms. Pergander expressed delight that the Friends may now be able to support the
Library's grant requests in this manner.
Page 3 of 6
�Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees
Regular Meeting Minutes
February 18, 2015
The board members discussed these points, explained that they feel the Board has a responsibility
to provide an avenue for different types of donations, such as bequests, and emphasized that no
competition is intended.
Ms. Pergander clarified that the website GIVING button would not link to specific wish list requests,
as it does for the Highland Park Library, but would lead to many avenues of engagement, including
giving to the Friends, honoring others with donations for books, making bequests, etc.
Ms. Reich state that she appreciated the clarification and that there had been a misunderstanding of
the Library's intentions.
ii.
Artwork donation
The Board members discussed the artwork recently offered to the Library by a private donor. The
discussion included size and whether the piece could be interpreted as having a religious message in
a public space. Members debated whether the artistic style fit the Library's image. After some
discussion, members advised the Director to decline the offered donation of artwork.
b.
Instructions to staff to reinstitute Library Trustee fee waiving and policy change
Ms. Pergander announced that the process has been reinstituted.
c.
Update - Personnel Handbook revision
Ms. Pergander reviewed the revisions, which included new wording about providing references, and
guidance regarding distracted driving. These are two of the three items the board asked to see revised.
MOTION: Mr. Michael Goldberg made a motion to approve the revisions, seconded by Ms. Dembitz.
Vote: 7 yes - Ken Abosch, Marla Bark Dembitz, Luisa Ellenbogen, Michael Goldberg, Jeff Rivlin, Seth Schriftman,
and Ron Simon. The motion was approved.
d.
Next steps for recruiting new Library Director: Recommendation regarding recruiter and approval of
contract amount
Mr. Abosch reviewed the activities of the Search Committee which had recommended hiring Ms. Lynn as the
recruiter, for a contract fee of $14,000 plus expenses. He reported that this recommendation was approved
in a Special Board Meeting resolution. The Search Committee requested the authority to define the criteria
to be used in the selection process, authorize the placement of ads, and the screening of candidates. He
described the planned process going forward, which would end in a final six reviewed by the committee and
two or three finalists coming before the full board. Mr. Goldberg suggested that the whole board look at
the final six candidates. Mr. Abosch said he was fine with that change of plan, or any Board member can
attend and participate in the Search Committee activities. The final decision can be made when the process
gets closer to that point. Mr. Schriftman noted that after the election there may be a shift of perspective
among board members.
e.
Information about League of Women Voters candidate event March 15
Ms. Pergander announced that Sunday, March 15th, the League will provide an opportunity for contested
non-write-in seats to engage in a public question answering session, for both the Library and the Village
Trustee candidates. She noted that the League has said write-in candidates will not be included in the
session, although they may be introduced.
f.
Follow-up regarding automatic interior doors, survey results, quotes, and possible approval
Ms. Pergander reported her findings regarding public buildings with automatic doors. The board discussed
the cost and how many doors might need the assistance of automation. Mr. Goldberg suggested the doors
Page 4 of 6
�Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees
Regular Meeting Minutes

should be retrofitted. Mr. Abosch suggested that the Library should be professionally reviewed for this and
other ADA issues. Mr. Simon suggested that the tension on the doors might be changed. Ms. Pergander
said she would ask Dewberry about finding an ADA certified professional and determine what it costs to hire
the expert and will also call five local libraries to discover if they use any assisted-open or automatic doors
for internal spaces.
9.
g.
Update - Replacement of main electrical switch and possible insurance claim
Ms. Pergander reported that the case is being reviewed by our insurance carrier as a possible covered claim.
With seven weeks of lead time for parts, Ms. Pergander wants to move forward as soon as possible so that
the two closure dates will be in the next newsletter and the project will be completed prior to her leaving
May 29.
h.
Update - Youth Services tablets for children
As requested by the Board two months ago, Ms. Pergander provided the requested 60 day update, and
reviewed the process for checking the Nabi and iPad tablets in and out. She said that the Head of Youth
doesn't recommend any changes because parents sign them out and these tablets are not appealing to
older kids who want to also use the Internet. The Internet is not available on these tablets; they are
restricted to child-oriented materials.
NEW BUSINESS
a. Proposed dates for Trustees at Farmers Market
Ms. Pergander said that two dates are available in August: August 1 and 8. She also asked about the Board's
preference regarding the second set of choices: September or October. Mr. Schriftman said he would like to
participate and recommended September. All agreed.
b.
Proposal to combine lower level service desks and create seating area using existing furnishings
Ms. Pergander reviewed the suggested plan, which includes moving computer lines, phone lines, and she
also reviewed the benefits to patrons, including unified service location and an additional seating are to be
created where the second desk used to stand. The Board affirmed its approval of the project.
MOTION: Mr. Michael Goldberg made a motion to approve the plan to combine the lower level service desks
and provide an additional seating area, seconded by Mr. Seth Schriftman.
Vote: 7 yes - Ken Abosch, Marla Bark Dembitz, Luisa Ellenbogen, Michael Goldberg, Jeff Rivlin, Seth Schriftman,
and Ron Simon. The motion was approved.
c.
Recommendation to purchase disc cleaner
Mr. Simon noted that the purchase is included in the current budget.
MOTION: Mr. Michael Goldberg made a motion to approve purchase of the proposed disc cleaner (not to
exceed $15,000), seconded by Mr. Seth Schriftman.
Vote: 7 yes - Ken Abosch, Marla Bark Dembitz, Luisa Ellenbogen, Michael Goldberg, Jeff Rivlin, Seth Schriftman,
and Ron Simon. The motion was approved.
10. EXECUTIVE SESSION - The Board may go into Executive Session (closed to the public) to discuss personnel, legal,

A Welcome and a Look Ahead
Welcome Amy Falasz-Peterson, our new Library
Director as of July 1! Amy is learning all about our
outstanding Library — perhaps you have seen
her in the Library, in the lobby during the July
4th parade, or around town as she settles in. Amy
comes to us with nine years’ experience as Library
Director in East Peoria, Illinois. Amy has also
been an Assistant Director and Head of Reference,
experience we know will serve us well. During the
interview process, Amy impressed the Board and
Library staff with her focus on community,
outreach, customer service, and respect for the
important role libraries play in communities.
With Amy’s leadership, the Board will begin a
strategic plan this year. We will research new and
future trends in libraries, and we will ask you to
help us identify needs. Our last strategic plan
helped lead us to our renovated, larger library. It
helped identify the need for more study rooms,
more meeting spaces, and technological updates
throughout the library. After living in our new
space for two years, we are excited to make plans
for the future. Please check future Browsing
issues and our website for opportunities to
be involved.

Deerfield Library is STEAMing
What is STEAM and why is
it at the Library?
STEAM is the acronym for Science,
^technology, Engineering, Art, and
Mathematics. At the Deerfield Public
Library you’ll find STEAM throughout the
Youth Services Department’s programming.
The Library is a perfect place to introduce
and encourage your child's natural curiosity
about the world.
What type of STEAM programs
does the Library offer?
Programs with a STEAM emphasis are
offered at the Library year-round. KiDLS
(Kids in Deerfield Love Science) is our
quarterly event for the elementary school
crowd and their grown-ups. From examining
color to making our own music to learning
about Illinois’ wild mammals, we have a
great time in KiDLS!
STEAM can also be found in other programs,
such as Ready, Set, Learn offered during
the school year for preschoolers, in our
Minecraft Clubs, and in our homeschool
10
programs. Every year, the DPS 109 schools,
area preschools, other schools and
homeschoolers showcase their artwork
in the glass display cases as you enter the
youth department.
At what age is it appropriate to
introduce your child to STEAM?
“Real science begins
with childhood
curiosity, which
leads to discovery
and exploration....,f
It is never too early to encourage your child’s
exploration of the world. Whether through
a program or our books and magazines, the
Deerfield Public Library offers a myriad of
ways to engage with and enhance your child’s
curiosity. Choose a picture book, such as
ILove Bugs! by Philemon Stages, or a
nonfiction title, such as Growing Patterns:
Fibonacci Numbers in Nature by Sarah C.

What three words would you use to describe your
ideal library experience? Our Board and staff
members will be asking you that over the coming
months, as we continue to refine and enhance your
library experience, both in the physical library and
the virtual version.
U
*

I DIDN’T KNOW THAT!
We asked staff to give us the inside track on some possibly
under-the-radar services and resources.
Are you among those downloading 2,000 e-books each
month from the Libraiy? Is your club or organization
using one of our free meeting room spaces? Have you
had a favorite book signed by a visiting author? Are
you playing Minecraft with friends at the Libraiy? Did
you help provide for the food pantiy or the animal
shelter through our donation days?
Melissa S., Adult Sendees: “The Library has two
notaries on staff and offers notary services free
of charge. As notary needs vary - some are
quick and easy, while some require more time
and paperwork —we encourage patrons to call
ahead to make an appointment, and speak to
the notary to make sure you have all the items
needed to moveforward with the process. ”
Is your Library card now accessed through an app on
your smartphone, rather than plastic in your wallet?
Do you follow our blogs online? Have you been to one
of our Pinterest classes? Are you enjoying local
attractions with a Museum Adventure Pass?
Kary H., Youth Services: “One of ourfavorite
days in the Youth Department is when a young
child gets his/her very own library card! You
may not know that library cards are available
to children ages 5 and older. We like to make a
big deal about it, so be sure to stop by the Youth
Services desk and let your child show us
his/her new card!"
Yes, books are what we are known for, AND we are so
much more! Come explore us today - and let us WOW
you.
Mary Pergander
Library Director
Vicki K., Patron Services: “Patrons often ask us
where they can register to vote, and are thrilled
to learn they can do so right at the library.
During most hours we are open, there is a staff
member available to register voters. All you need
to bring are twoforms ofID, one with your
current address. FYI, as ofJuly 1, 2014, Illinois
residents have the option to register to vote online at
https://ova.elections.il.gov ”
Our remodeled and renovated library is just over a year
old, and we thank all of you again for your support
with our project. Now that we have settled in to our
new space, we are looking ahead to keep improving
our service to the community.
We’ve appreciated your feedback over the past year
and hopefully you’ve noticed improvements both in the
building and on our website. As the Board and Library
staff begin re-examining our mission and vision, know
that we strive to bring you an outstanding collection,
led by an outstanding staff, in a space where you
enjoy spending part of your day.

�New Tech @ Your Library
Library Tech Classes
Lead to Discovery
When attorney Eugene Stahnke retired from
practice, he got right to work ramping up his
computer skills. Over the past year, Eugene has
taken more than a dozen technology classes offered
by the Libraiy, and has advanced from “101” level to
fluency with a wide range of digital activities. We
asked Eugene to share some thoughts about his
learning experience.
Visit us at deerfieldlibrarv.org
Instruction Librarian Jenn Hovanec
has led many ofthe technology classes
attended by Eugene Stahnke
Q. What was your motivation to take the Library's technology classes?
A. During my years as an attorney, the division of labor always had someone else handling
the computer-related tasks. As a result, I had little detailed knowledge of the computer
and the Web. I got tired of asking for help, and relying on others for even the simplest
of activities, such as email.
Meet Your New Website
The Library’s refresh continues
with a spiffy new website design.
It features friendly navigation,
optimized mobile browsing, and
fresh insights from expert Library
staff. Enjoy the tour!
Q. Why would you recommend the Library's classes?
A. For starters, you have expert trainers, and at no cost. The classes are extremely well
organized, and the librarians leading the classes are excellent communicators. The
hands-on training, with the instructor right in front of you, is invaluable. They provide
excellent handouts, and are always available for questions if you get stuck up the road.
Q. How have you been using your new skills?
A. Where to start? Email, of course, and basic word processing. I’ve also enjoyed learning
how to truly mine gold from the library’s catalog, including tracking down books and
articles for my many interests and hobbies. One class introduced a number of
important free online resources, including Consumer Reports. I also learned about the
Goodreads website, which has become a favorite for tracking my reading, and sharing
with a world-wide online community of readers.
Q. Have you had any unexpected outcomes?
A. I never expected to own a tablet and a smartphone, and to be actively using them.
Diking photos with the smartphone is worlds beyond what I eked out on my old
cellphone. The Library’s classes have helped guide the whole experience from
purchasing to organizing photos and sharing them online.
Game on at Teen PS4
Station!
Teens, next time you need a break
from studying or just to relax, try
the new Teen Gaming Station.
Located in the Teen Space, the
game station has a brand new
PlayStation 4 with pre-loaded
games, wireless controllers, and
headphones. Current available
games include: Fifa 14, Madden 25,
Lego Marvel Superheroes, and Need
for Speed Rivals. Stop at the Media
Desk to check out the
controllers and headsets.
10
Q. What recommendations do you have tor getting started?
A. After class, be sure to use the handout and continue to reinforce what you learned in
class. It’s not that time-consuming, and repetition makes all the difference. If you don’t
have a computer at home, there are many hours of open access to the computers in the
Library’s lab. If you are interested in purchasing a computer, I highly recommend “How
to Buy a Computer” on November 19. Also, don’t be nervous about being in the class.
The shared experience proved to be very beneficial.

“The Temp site is terrific!
Why don’t you just stay there??”
By Mary Pergander, Library Director
Three Generations Celebrate
Library Card Sign-Up Month
While the renovation of the building at 920 Waukegan Road moves along, we’ve
settled in at our temporary home at Cadwell’s Corners. We appreciate the positive
feedback from patrons and visitors: The space is very welcoming and conveniently
arranged on one level. It feels and functions like a “real” library, and it certainly
will work well for us for the year we need to be here.
September is National Libraiy Card Sign-up
Month and—according to three generations
in one family of Deerfielders—their Libraiy
cards are the smartest, most valued cards in
their wallets.
“We moved to Deerfield in 1960,” says Jan
Zobus (left) “and we’ve been faithful Libraiy
users ever since.” Jan has seen—and
supported—the Libraiy as it has evolved
from a place to borrow the latest best seller
or do homework into a full-fledged research,
digital download center and community
meeting place. Her daughter, Laura Kempf
(right) remembers her mother Jan taking her
to the Children’s Department when it was in
a trailer near the current Village Hall. Laura
is now the co-president of the Friends of the
Deerfield Public Library. “We were just at the
Libraiy checking out several books on CD for
our upcoming road trip,” said Laura during
the interview. “The Library gives us open and
free access to so much material we would
otherwise have to buy—and store!” Third
generation family member and Library user
Erin Kempf (center) is a former member of
the Teen Advisory Board, long-time STAR
volunteer and heavy digital downloaded “I
love being able to download e-books from
home.. .and I love the fact I can use my
Deerfield Public Libraiy card to download
e- books when I go away to college."
Do you have a current Library card? If not,
stop by during September with two forms of
identification showing your Deerfield
address, and get one of the most valuable
cards you can own!
Nice as it is, our temporary home lacks some important features. It’s about a third
smaller than the old building at 920 Waukegan, and only about half the size the
renovated and remodeled Libraiy will be when completed. Currently there are no
study rooms, no program spaces, no public meeting rooms, no quiet spaces, no
storage, no drive-up book drops, and only 12 adult and four children’s computers.
Plus, we’re now at the far south end of the Village when we have traditionally been
in the heart of Deerfield, and many residents have let us know this is not
convenient for them.
We’re looking forward to returning to a much more functional, environmentally
friendly, and beautiful building—a fresh space that will be able to flex along with
the changing needs of our community. So come and visit our temporary home soon,
and watch for news of the Grand Re-opening of the main Library in mid-2013.

■ The Story of Beautiful Girl by Rachel Simon
September 13,10:30 a.m.
While institutionalized in 1968, Lynnie and Homan fall deeply in
love and long for their freedom. They escape the institution,
find shelter with a widowed teacher, and are eventually forced
to leave their baby behind. Spanning 40 years, this is a story of
true love, friendship, and destiny.

■ Gertrude and Claudius by John Updike
September 20, 7:30 p.m.
Set before the action begins in Shakespeare's "Hamlet," this
speculative novel follows the lives of Gertrude and Claudius,
King and Queen of Denmark, as they wend their way towards
adultery and treachery to ascend the throne. This book discus
sion is part of Writers’ Theatre “Page to Stage” program, in sup
port of their staging of “Hamlet.” Check out writerstheatre.org
for more information.
■ Little Brother by Corey Doctorow
October 11,10:30 a.m. and October 18, 7:30 p.m.
Marcus’s whole world changes when he and his
friends find themselves caught in the aftermath
neBook
of a major terrorist attack on San Francisco. In
Zip Code
the wrong place at the wrong time, Marcus and
his friends are apprehended by the Department
of Homeland Security and whisked away to a secret prison
where they're mercilessly interrogated for days. When he is
finally released, Marcus discovers that his city has become a
police state where every citizen is treated like a potential
terrorist. He knows that no one will believe his story, which
leaves him only one option: take down the Department of
Homeland Security himself.
■ The Family Fang by Kevin Wilson
November 8,10:30 a.m.
Annie and Buster Fang spent their youth as the children of
famous performance artists. Known only as Child A and Child B,
they were manipulated pawns in their parent’s highly public and
often uncomfortable “performances.” Now adults, both Annie
and Buster find themselves returning home and facing their
family legacy.
■ The Irresistible Henry House by Lisa Grunwald
November 15, 7:30 p.m.
In the mid-twentieth century in a home economics program at
a prominent university, real babies are being used to teach
mothering skills to young women. For a young man raised in
these unlikely circumstances, finding real love and learning to
trust will prove to be the work of a lifetime. From his earliest
days as a "practice baby" through his adult adventures in 1960s
Henry House remains handsome, charming, universally adored,
and never entirely accessible to the many women he conquers
but can never entirely trust.

Little Brother by Cory Doctorow
Imagine if our country were turned into a police state,
UTILE BROTHER! where
every citizen is treated like a potential terrorist.
The government could track every step you take
with video surveillance and monitor all of your
communication. Would you trade your freedom for
, security? In an increasingly digital world, privacy has
become a huge issue. The War on Terror, globalization,
CORY DOCTOROW
and economic difficulties have led corporations and
governments to abuse digital technology, threatening
our privacy and civil liberties. In the 21st century, Little Brother is watching you.
Little Brother by Cory Doctorow is the story of seventeen-year-old Marcus, who
ditches school one morning to hang out with his friends. But when a major
terrorist attack takes place, Marcus finds himself in the wrong place at the
wrong time and is swept up by the Department of Homeland Security and
whisked away to a secret prison, where he is interrogated for days. When he is
finally released, Marcus discovers that his city has become a police state where
every citizen is treated like a potential terrorist. He knows that no one will
believe his stoiy, which leaves him only one option: take down the Department
of Homeland Security himself.

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!

We’re Reading
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

Changes in the
Library seem to be
everywhere, and the H
remodeling has not even begun!
Interested community members
can learn more about the Library’s
proposed design concepts and
progress through the approvals
process at public information
sessions in June. (See details
below).
i
.
While we are busy designing the
remodeling and expansion, we
have also been installing
improvements and “testing” new
services for the existing Library.
The addition of automated check
out stations and check-in conveyor
system are the most visible
examples. Initial public reaction
has been strongly positive, and
many patrons say they are
surprised by how quick and easy it
is to use. The most frequent patron
concern we have heard is the fear
that our fine staff members may
lose their employment as a result
of automation. This is not the case!
Patrons will continue to see
familiar faces ready to offer
assistance throughout the Libraiy.
Come visit us soon!

reference@deerfieldlibrary.org and ask for Madeline, the teen services liaison.
A public library is—among
many other good things—
public. Common sense (and
Library policy, by the way)
says that parents and
caregivers must stay with
children under nine. In
addition, be mindful of
purses, backpacks, laptops,
or anything else of value; and
let Library staff know of any
suspicious activities right
away. Have you noticed we
have added security cameras
at each Library entrance?

Vd Public Lib
To Deerfield Residents
From Ken Abosch, President
Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees
On July 21, the Library Board unanimously
agreed to take the next step toward a plan to
improve the Deerfield Public Library. Trustees
voted to put a referendum on the November
2010 general election ballot asking for funds
for the Library Improvement Plan. (See related
article.)
As President of the Deerfield Public Library
Board of Trustees, I am proud of the public
process used to develop the plan. A 23-member
Citizens Input Group (CIG) helped the Library
Board gather and evaluate feedback about
Library needs and options through a series of
seven community open houses in March and
June. The Board also sought input about
improvement options through an independent
telephone survey of community residents, as
well as one-on-one conversations.
As a result of what we heard, Library Trustees
combined elements from several options and
downsized the most ambitious improvement
suggestions. The Library Improvement Plan
expands on what is now available and possible.
It will bring our Library into the 21st centuiy
in order to provide Deerfield with the greatest
possible value from this important community
asset.
On behalf of the Libraiy Board, I want to thank
everyone who participated in this process by
sharing ideas, feedback, and questions.
Especially, we want to thank the members of
the Citizens Input Group for being the
additional eyes and ears for the Libraiy Board,
by helping trustees gather input from Deerfield
residents.
We look forward to talking with community
members over the next few months as we
provide more details about the Libraiy
Improvement Plan.
"•WS.
*6' Number 2
Library Improvement Plan
Over the past year, the Libraiy Board has carefully evaluated options for
improving our nearly 40-year-old libraiy building and its capacity to serve
Deerfield residents. Libraiy Trustees sought input from Deerfield residents and
studied how best to meet the libraiy service needs of our community now and
into the future.
At its July 21,2010 meeting, Libraiy Trustees reviewed all these findings and
voted unanimously to seek funding through a November 2010 referendum for a
Libraiy Improvement Plan. The plan will upgrade infrastructure, reconfigure
and renovate existing space, and expand the Libraiy by about 10,000 square feet.
The Deerfield Public Libraiy has been well used since the building opened
more than 39 years ago. Since 1971, Deerfield’s population has changed and
usage has increased. New types of materials, services, and technology have
expanded the ways residents can use and benefit from the Libraiy.
“While we’ve been able to update some services to meet changing needs, we
face challenges in delivering 21st-century service from a building that was built
in the last centuiy. Our residents deserve a full-service library that is better
able to meet the growing demands and changing needs of our community,” said
Ken Abosch, Library Board President.
After considering a range of options and reviewing community input, the
Libraiy Board developed a Libraiy Improvement Plan that it feels offers the
greatest value in the most cost-effective manner. The project is significantly
downsized from a 2004 referendum which sought to build a new libraiy. The
2010 referendum amount of $11,775 million is less than half of the amount
sought in 2004. The existing building will be renovated and expanded, providing
new and better spaces at a more economical cost. Exciting new areas and
features will be designed for flexibility to meet changing space and patron
needs into the future.
The Libraiy Board plans to spend $2 million of its reserves on the project. The
reserves were accumulated specifically for this type of need: to update and
replace infrastructure, or other capital project needs related to the building.
More information about the proposed Libraiy Improvement Plan is available on
the Library’s website at www.deerfieldlibraiy.org. In addition, Public
Information Meetings in September and October will provide architectural
conceptual drawings and more information about the project.

Stoichiometric Coefficients and
the Molar Ratios
“Sure.”
We suppose that there are some parents
who might say, “Cool - first check the
stoichiometric coefficients and the molar
ratios.” If you are that parent, skip this
article and go on to the next. If you’re not,
you need to know about Live Homework
Help from Tutor.com, a premium service
offered free by the Library that provides
real homework help from real, live tutors
online. Students K - 12, college-level
students and adult learners can receive
help in math, social studies, English or
science-including chemistiy. In fact, in
June, lOth-grade chemistiy students used
Tutor.com to ask questions just like the one
described above. Here’s one of the
comments from a chemistiy student about
the service: “My tutor was incredible. She
was able to help me out with a difficult
chem concept and she continued to give me
practice problems when she realized I was
still shaky.”
Access to Tutor.com is available free
through the Web site to all patrons at the
Library and available to Deerfield Public
Library cardholders from home seven
days a week from 2-9 p.m.
