What’s Next? That is a P'
A
question I field many
times a day from
residents interested in
knowing how our construction plans are
coming along. Our design process is just
kicking off. The Library Board is seeking
input from a variety of sources to refine
the design concepts. In the near future,
we will also begin the Village Commissions
approval process. Consistent with our
commitment to keep residents informed
and involved, we are planning a community
meeting this spring to share the renderings
of the design to that stage. This would
include the interior, exterior, landscaping,
and energy plans. Please watch for
announcements of the date and time.
At
Although actual construction is still far
off, there are sounds of construction near
our Circulation department as we install a
RFID system for patron convenience and
improved accuracy. A new interior “window”
has been created. Library materials returned
through that window are automatically
checked in, reducing error and getting
materials back to the shelves more quickly.
We are also combining our Teen and Media
service desks into one unit at a more
convenient location for improved service.
Look for our new, welcoming Information
desk and hot beverage vending near the
Library entrance, and patron-oriented
checkout stations in Youth Services as
well as at the Circulation desk. (Thanks
to the Friends for purchasing the first of
three new stations!) We welcome resident
feedback to make these services even
better in the new construction.
Bottom line: We never stop seeking ways
to better serve our library patrons and
community.
Faster, More Accurate Service
with RFID and Self Check
As the Library plans for a large-scale renovation
project, we are making a series of service
improvements that will have immediate benefits
for our patrons before implementing them in a
reconfigured building.
We have recently put Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags in all of our
materials to increase the speed and accuracy of checking items in and out of
the Library. RFID will check in items instantaneously, with nearly 100%
accuracy. Items will automatically be sorted upon check-in and get back on the
shelves and into circulation more quickly.
RFID tags will also allow patrons to quickly and easily use new checkout
machines installed on the Library’s upper and lower levels. Self-check stations
help patrons get their selections out the door and home to eqjoy sooner. Staff
members will be available all hours of operation to assist patrons with these
new stations.
Patrons who require assistance with library card registration or questions about
their account will now be able to take their time working with a circulation
staff member away from busy checkout lanes. In addition, an Information desk
near the front gates will also help patrons get speedy responses to our most
frequently asked questions.
Implementing RFID at this time will also greatly improve the Library’s ability to
keep track of materials during an extensive renovation project. Read more
about the Library’s next steps in the Message from the Director.

Thanks to a generous donation from the Friends of the Deerfield Public Library,
we are currently building a collection of Blu-ray films! The new format will be
available this spring.
Attention Local Histoiy Bull'-:

The Friends of the Deerfield Public
Libraiy are happy to report that through
the community’s support purchasing
books from the Used Book Sale and
annual memberships, we are able to
fund the following items in 2011: partial
funding for a New Early Childhood
Literacy Station in Youth Sendees, a
substantial collection of Blu-ray discs,
and a Self-Checkout Station.
The Friends want to thank the
community for their used book
donations. The Friends continue to
accept gently used hardback,
paperback, and children’s books, as well
as DVDs and CDs. Please bring
donations to the Circulation desk at the
Library7 during regular business hours.
Volunteers sort and shelve these
donations, and we ask households to
donate only two shopping bags or boxes
per week.
We continue to need the support from
the community with Annual
Memberships. A Friends’ membership is
$15 per year, but any amount is welcome.
Please make checks payable to the

Recently, the Libraiy acquired nearly 60 years’ worth of bound Deerfield Review
newspapers, dating back to 1945. Each volume includes original articles,
photographs, obituaries, and advertisements.
Coffee, Tea, and Quiet
A new hot beverage station on the Library’s upper level now offers a wider variety
of coffee options. Coffee will sell for 25$ per cup and cups of cappuccino, mocha,
or hot chocolate are only 50$ each. This unit replaces the carafes of coffee that
were available in the Fiction Room.
Moving the busy beverage station out of the Fiction Room will help reclaim that
space for patrons looking for a quiet place to study, read, or just relax. Readers’
Sendees staff still look fonvard to talking to patrons about books; they’ll just be
using their “library voices.” Please help us keep this space one where peace and
quiet are a priority.

The Youth Services department offers a variety of games, puzzles, and coloring

The Library Board is p- .
launching increased . A
efforts to inform and
seek feedback from
Deerfield residents about Library
needs and possibilities. During
Februaiy, the Board formed a citizen
input group of interested community
members. In March, the Board will
hold open house-style public
information sessions for all interested
Deerfield residents. For convenience,
the days and times will vary, but the
information will remain the same. The
intent is to share information about
the Library’s current building,
infrastructure problems, programming
and service limitations, future needs,
and funding alternatives. In exchange,
the Board will seek feedback from
community members to help the
Board consider and assess
alternatives.
In late spring, the Board will use
an independent firm to conduct a
scientifically-representative sample of
randomly chosen residents for a
telephone survey. The results will be
shared with the citizen input group
and others. In June and July, a second
round of public information sessions
will be held for all residents, to share
results of the survey and other inputs,
and to seek additional feedback.
Through these public-engagement
activities, by late summer, the Board
hopes to determine which alternative
may be the most attractive to
community members. The Board will
then decide how to proceed toward
that objective, and how the project
should be funded.
Library Board Hosts Open House Events
to Discuss Facility Options
Interested community members are invited to attend one or more of the Library
open houses scheduled for March. The open house will be an opportunity to learn
more about the facility issues and needs, options being studied, and financing
alternatives for building improvements. A formal presentation will take place at
the beginning of each session; then attendees may stay for the discussion and
tours. The Library Board is encouraging feedback from the community on the
various Library options. Visit the Library Web site for further information and to
register in advance. All sessions are at the Library.
Open House Dates and Times
Wednesday, March 3,9 - 11 a.m.

�DVD Check Out Policy to Change
Beginning March 1, juvenile patrons (under 18) may check out any DVDs or video

Previously, all minors were restricted from borrowing movies or games unless a
parent signed a permission slip allowing them to do so. As before, parents assume
full responsibility for return, damage, fees, or fines for materials loaned, and hold
the Deerfield Public Library harmless from the loan of any materials. More
information and a downloadable copy of the Juvenile Video/DVD and Video Game
Permission Form are available on the Library’s Web site.
Plant a Seed
A start-up volunteer program is taking root at the Library.
The beginnings are modest - ongoing shelf maintenance
. (ensuring that books are in the proper order and the shelf
is clean and inviting); cleaning and sanitizing toys in the
Youth Services department; disc resurfacing (a simple
mechanized process to repair and clean DVDs, CDs, and
game discs), and general “straightening up” in the Library. If
you have a limited amount of time but want to make a big
difference, contact Jody Wilson atjwilson@deerfieldlibraiy.org for
more information.
Organize Your Holds
If you’re reading books in a series or don’t want to get calls or emails about a
waiting list while you’re on vacation, you can now freeze your holds in the “My
Account” feature in the Library’s online catalog. To suspend a hold, check the
“freeze” box and click “update list”.

members to your book group? Or would you like
to share a listxof what your group is reading?
The Fiction Room is creating a temporary
display space for your private book groups to
connect with each other, attract new members,
and learn about the Library’s resources. If you
would like to submit an 8 Vi x 11 poster or list
of books your group'rereading, contact Melissa

A recent study of
north suburban
libraries demon
strated that usage I—
is up at nearly all libraries. This
trend is repeated across the
United States. At Deerfield Public
Library, circulation this year is
running over 22% ahead of the
same period last year, and nearly
55% higher than the same period
two years ago! At this rate, we
expect to reach the level of
500,000 items checked out annually
within the next year or so. Many of
you have commented about the
increased level of activity in the
Library, and we are seeing
increased usage via our Web-based
services from home and other
places as well. We hope you feel
the same pride we do in the
popularity of your hometown
library.

Library Remodeling Update
On September 22, 2009, about 30 people attended an information session about the
Library’s recent space needs assessment and facility analysis. The questions posed,
and the Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees and architect responses are
available on our Web site. The Board appreciated the many thoughtful interactions
that took place, and invites others to comment as well.
Recently, the Board engaged Ehlers and Associates to help evaluate the Library’s
current financial status, expected cash flow for the future, possible future financial
needs, and possible sources of funds for the proposed project. The Board is taking
the current economic climate and other factors into consideration as part of the
planning process.
One Book, One Zip Code
The 2010 “One Book, One Zip Code” selection for adults
and high school students is Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi.
Satrapi’s award-winning memoir of growing up during
Iran’s Islamic Revolution is a graphic novel, laid out and
illustrated like a comic book. Her charming black and
white illustrations help the reader see the countiy’s
dramatic changes. The constant “but, why?” of childhood
is the perfect vehicle for exploring the world-changing
events of 1980s Iran.
This is the third year for the “One Book, One Zip Code” pro
gram. Previously, the communities of Bannockburn,
Deerfield, and Riverwoods came together to discuss
Mountains Beyond Mountains and Listening Is an Act ofLove.
This spring, “One Book, One Zip Code” partners will once again provide readers
with opportunities to come together at locations throughout the community for
discussions, lectures, films, and other interactive events related to the book. Learn
more at www.onebookonezipcode.org.
If your book group is interested in reading Persepolis, a trained book group leader
from the Deerfield Public Library can come to your group for free to lead the discussion.
Call Karen Kleckner at (847) 580-8950 for more details.

Message from the
Director
In the darker
days of winter, I
ff
appreciate the
«•.
golden light
that pours forth
from a friendly
window. Is
there anything more welcoming?
Recently, I was walking back to the
Library after an evening meeting.
Through the glowing panes, I saw
the Library full of people engaged in
a variety of ei\joyable activities.
kiv
Record-breaking attendance,
climbing circulation figures,
increasing demands for our meeting
rooms and for tables throughout the
building—something is going on
here!! Even we have been a little
surprised at these dramatic increases.
No doubt the shaky economy is one
reason - the Library is a terrific
family-entertainment resource. We
hope the many positive changes and
improved access day and night, here
or from home or office, are
contributing factors as well.
In this issue you will discover many
new reasons to come to the Library
and information about our plans to
make it even more inviting. Be sure
to see the Board’s announcement of
our plans to update the Library.
Whatever your plans are for the next
few months, we hope that you’ll let
us extend a cheery hello to you this
winter.

Library Board Engages Architectural Consultant
Last year the Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees decided to stay in downtown
Deerfield at our present location. Although it appears that our 37-year-old building is
structurally sound, we continue to hear from members of the community that it is time
for an update. More than just updating the worn and outdated interior, it is time to
rearrange our space to make better use of the building and reconfigure it to meet the
needs of our community. Included in this improvement plan is the possibility for a
small addition.
The Board has engaged the services of a Chicago-area architectural firm to review the
current building systems and structure in detail, evaluate the use of space and evolving
programming and service needs, and conduct community focus groups. The purpose of
this process is to generate ideas and build consensus about the vital services and space
needs of a dynamic community library. The architectural firm will use this information to
develop a set of proposals to enhance our current building on Waukegan Road. These
alternatives will be presented to the public for further discussion and analysis.
As we write this, the dates for these activities are being planned. We invite you to
watch for further announcements and we welcome your ideas and comments at any time.

The heart of StoryCorps is the conversation between two people

who are important to each other: a grandson asking his grandmother
__J
about her childhood, an immigrant telling his friend about coming to [
America, or a couple reminiscing on their 50th wedding anniversary.
By helping people to connect and to talk about the questions that
matter, the StoryCorps experience is powerful and sometimes even life-changing.
Last year, representatives from Bannockburn, Deerfield and Riverwoods planned and
presented our first “One Book” program. Last year’s book was Mountains Beyond
Mountains, by Tracy Kidder.
This spring, “One Book, One Zip Code” partners will once again provide readers with
opportunities to come together at locations throughout the community for discussions,
lectures, and interactive events related to the book.
Parents, look for a kid’s version of “One Book” coming this spring!

�Staff News
Welcome Emily Compton,
Head of Reference
If Emily looks familiar, it is because she
has been a librarian with us for just
over a year. After a multi-state search
for a new head of reference, we
realized that we had to look no further
to find exactly what we needed. Emily
has a strong commitment to excellent
reference services and nonfiction
readers’ advisory, as well as offering
virtual services via our website. She
appreciates the skills and experience
of her coworkers, and together they
form an impressive team.
Welcome Sheila Urwiler,
Head of Multimedia
Sheila joined our new Multimedia
department in late September. She has
extensive experience in customer
service and staff training, and she
recently made the career change to
librarianship. Currently a student
librarian with a passion for music and
movies, she will complete her MLS
degree in December. Sheila has many
ideas for the expansion of the media
collections and services, so let her
know your areas of interest!
Best Wishes to Juanita
Nicholson, Reference
Librarian
Juanita will retire in late November
after dedicating five years of superb
service to the Deerfield community.
Over the years you may have noticed
her displays, complete with Victor the
penguin, or you may have made a
delicious meal with a cookbook she
selected for the Libraiy. Juanita’s
passion for research and teaching is an
inspiration to library users and staff
alike. We will all miss her kind attitude,
engaging stories, and undying patience.
Thank you and best wishes, Juanita!

New Look for Library
Web Site
According to a new study, Americans spend an average of 32.7
hours a week online. That’s why we’ve redesigned the
Libraiy’s ‘Virtual branch.” It’s now easier than ever for you to
use Library resources when you’re online. The new web site
features an updated calendar of Library events; recommended
web sites for adults, teens, and children; lists of bestsellers
and award-winners that take you directly into the Library’s
catalog; and online forms for asking a librarian a question.

�Message from the
Director
You’ve spoken,
and we’ve lis
tened and made
changes. If
there is a
theme to this
newsletter
issue, that is it!
Many of you have expressed frus
tration in the past over our fee
structures, limits on materials, and
renewal limits. Well, we have
dropped some of these and loos
ened up others (although they
aren’t all gone!) The goal is to give
you more of what you want and less
of what you don’t want. Read about
these changes on the front page.
We have also launched a new web
site, designed to help you find what
you are seeking more easily. We’ve
added many new features, and
more are yet to come. We hope
you’ll agree that this is a big
improvement!
During the summer months, watch
for some colorful, comfortable new
additions to the furnishings in the
Youth Services department. A few
similar touches may appear in
other departments, as well.
Although we are planning substan
tial interior improvements for the
future, we realize that a few
updates will brighten the Library
and make coming here more enjoy
able. We want to help build antici
pation for the other positive
changes to come!

In the early 1990s, the Simon family began
a memorial fund for the Library, in honor
of their daughter Amy Simon. The funds
were used primarily for certain types of
children’s books and to promote reading
for children. The fund grew over the years
as other family members contributed.
Although the fund was terminated in 2006
many children’s books continued to
receive the memorial nameplate. Today,
there are dozens of these titles. To show
appreciation for the Simon family’s gen
erosity through the years, the Youth
Services department recently created a
special display of some of the Simon Fund
memorial books, which are available for
check-out. The display, updated regularly,
will run through May 2008.

Message from the Director
Some folks say that
winter is the dull
season, but not at
Deerfield Public
*
Library! We’re
ablaze with all the
possibilities we envi
sioned when our Library Board and
management team met recently to dis
cuss service expectations and emerging
trends in society. Now, we are using
what we learned to plan for an exciting
transformation.
■
One trend we are addressing is the desire
for convenient, personalized services. You
want your library resources and services
available when you need them, not just
when we are open. Now, you can place
your own holds, request e-mail notifica
tion about library materials, and down
load e-audiobooks. You can even have
program updates, new titles in your
choice of interests, and the New York
Times Bestseller List e-mailed to you! Not
sure how? We’ll be happy to get you started.
We shared the news about new Library
services this fall at many community
events. A presentation to the Chamber of
Commerce, booths at Community Services
Day and the 50+ Expo, visits to the high
school, and support of Arts & Riverwoods
are just a few examples of our ongoing
involvement in our community.
Throughout this newsletter you’ll read
how partnerships with local organizations
and businesses also have helped create
new grant opportunities and a communi
ty-wide book discussion. We aren’t just
joiners—we’re doers! Invite us to YOUR
next community event!

New Year’s Evolution
What have we resolved to do even better in the New Year? The Deerfield Public
Library wants to exceed your expectations! We are creating new ways to serve
the community, and we’re enhancing the Library collections and services that
you and your families tell us you love. Some of the innovations you will notice
right away are an expanded Multimedia department, “Reading Warriors: A Guys
Read Program” for boys in 3rd - 5th grade, and “One Book, One Zip Code,” a
community-wide reading program for adults.
Multimedia Department
Did you know that Deerfield Public Library patrons checked out almost as many
discs and DVDs as books last year? The Library is responding to this demand for
audiovisual materials by increasing staff and services in its new Multimedia
department.
You’ll find
• More staff members specially trained to
answer your questions about movies,
music, and more
• Reclassified CDs to make finding the
right items easier than ever (Next, we’ll
reclassify the audiobooks and separate
them into fiction and nonfiction.)
• New formats—including *Wii games,
*Playaways, and *downloadables
• Multiple copies of popular items
• Musical scores and media-related
magazines
*MediaSpeak
Wii: Nintendo’s most recent video
game console, distinguished by its
wireless controller
Playaways: Portable MP3 players
preloaded with one audiobook each
Downloadables: Text or audio files
that can be downloaded to your
computer and enjoyed at home or
transferred to a portable device
Reading Warriors: A Guys Read Program
Girls continued to outperform boys in reading this year, according to a recent
national study. Deerfield Public Library wants to address that trend and encour
age reading and library use among elementary school boys next year, with pro
grams and services supported by a Library Services and Technology Act grant of
$2,876. The Library will use funds awarded to “Reading Warriors: A Guys Read
Program” to survey boys in 3rd—5th grades on their reading preferences; offer a
workshop led by an expert on boys’ literacy for parents and teachers; and
increase the number of “boy-friendly” books, booklists, and programs the Library
provides.
�Adult Programs
Programs are free and open to the public. Please register in advance by calling 847-945-3311.

Dear Neighbor:
This past year, a group of volunteers formed The
Friends of the Deerfield Public Library, a not-forprofit organization dedicated to enriching the
library’s materials, services and programs. Our
first project is to raise $1,200 to purchase
Playaways, ready-to-go digital audiobooks which
are about the size of a deck of cards.
Our group has been involved in several activities
to establish our presence in the community. To
introduce ourselves to the community and provide
information about our group, we assisted the
Library with several of their events. We maintain
the book spinner at the Deerfield Train Station,
which has provided hundreds of free used books
to commuters. In September we had a booth at
the Farmer’s Market and at Deerfield Community
Days. In addition, we recently assumed responsi
bility for the sale and maintenance of the
ongoing used book sale at the Library.
Please help us in our efforts to assist the
Deerfield Public Library by becoming an annual
member of the Friends for $15 or more. We
welcome and appreciate all donations. Your gift
is tax-deductible as allowed by law.
THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND OF THE
DEERFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY!

Income Tax Forms
Why was the Library closed?
A limited number of the most-used tax forms
for individuals will be available in the Libraiy
beginning in January. Get all federal forms at
imw.irs.gov or by phoning 1-800-TAX-FORM
(1-800-829-3676). Get all Illinois forms at
iwow.tax.illinois.gov or by phoning
1-800-356-6302. Small-business owners and anyone
needing multiple copies of forms should place
orders directly with the federal or state govern
ment for home delivery. Income tax assistance will
be available from IRS-trained AARP volunteers at
the Library from 1 - 4 p.m. on Tuesdays and
Fridays from February 1 through April 15.
We realize it is inconvenient for you when we are
closed and you need us. From time to time, we
close in order to provide staff training that can
help us better serve you. For example, last June
we learned about fire safety and practiced using
fire extinguishers! In October, all employees had
an orientation to our basic reference services and
also learned the steps we will follow to transition
to a new automation system next year. We try to
keep closures to a minimum and to use the time
wisely in ways that ultimately will benefit you.

Message from the Library
—
Director
Our mission, in part,
is to provide you
with open access to
the world of infor
mation and ideas.
Sometimes, we bring the world to you!
For example, Deerfield Public Library
is very excited to be hosting the North
Central 0 Gaugers Model Railroad
Club. Train lovers of all ages will delight
in seeing this enormous model train
layout and its villages, bridges and
flashing signals on Saturday, March 24,
from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Don’t miss it!
Another way we will bring the world to
you is through programs about “bou
tique” libraries. These are the jewels of
small, public-access libraries in the
Chicago-metro area, offering highly
specialized collections. For example, in
April we will reveal the treasures of the
Lenhardt Library of the Chicago
Botanic Garden. In May, we will spot
light Lake County’s William D. Block
Memorial Law Library and its valuable
resources. Learn about other unique
libraries in the months to come.
</°l^e
Number ^
The Trains, the Trains!
Saturday, March 24, 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.
The Library is the place to be when the North Central 0 Gaugers roll into town
with their gigantic 12 by 20 foot model train layout. Ring the bells, lift the gates,
load the trains, and swap stories in this daylong event for all ages. Special sur
prises include a drawing for a free small train set sure to delight any child!
The exhibition will feature a wide variety of passenger and freight trains, from
historic steamers to prototypical modern diesels. Guests of all ages will enjoy
the excitement of the sights and sounds of an interactive, operating model train
layout. Hands-on opportunities will allow attendees to experience the thrill of
running the trains wirelessly. NCOG Club members will be on hand to answer
any questions visitors may have.
Expanded Computer Services
For your convenience, we now offer in
library access to Microsoft Office prod
ucts: Word, Excel, PowerPoint and oth
ers. We are preparing to launch new

ther announcements this spring.
The library now offers Microsoft Office programs such as Microsoft Word,
PowerPoint and Excel to the public. Microsoft Office is available on all public
computers designated for Internet use. Patrons may use these computers for the
Internet, Microsoft Office, or both. Internet access and Microsoft Office usage is
FREE to everyone. Deerfield cardholders and guests using these services for the
first time should register their library cards (or receive guest cards) at the
Reference Desk. Computer usage is now expanded to 90 minutes a day per person.
Finally, I want to thank outgoing Board

munity and the Library. You will be
missed!

�Joan Bairstow, Head of
Circulation, Retires
It’s no cliche to say that Joan
Bairstow will leave her mark on
Deerfield Public Library. From
putting barcodes in books 23 years
ago to working behind the
Circulation Desk since 1985, Joan
has handled nearly every book, CD,
DVD, and video game in the
Library’s collection. She will retire
on May 25, 2007.
While raising her family in
Northfield, Joan helped create a
Friends of the Library group that
established the Northfield branch
of the Winnetka Public Library. The
branch relied largely on volunteers,
and Joan did everything from paint
ing walls to helping patrons. In
1984, she made the leap to paid
library employee when she came to
Deerfield Public Library to help
barcode the library’s collection.
After the barcoding project was
complete, Joan joined the
Circulation Department full time.
She quickly moved up to Assistant
Head of Circulation and has been
the Head of the department since
1998. Joan has eqjoyed many
aspects of her job, especially work
ing with the patrons. “Many are
friends at this point. We worry
about them when we don’t see our
regulars for awhile.”
Though she will miss being part of
special moments like helping a
child get his or her first library
card, Joan is looking forward to
the many activities her retirement
will allow her to eqjoy. Joan has
children living on both the East
and West Coasts and plans to make
frequent visits. When at home,
she’ll be taking classes and enjoy
ing her membership to the Chicago
Botanic Garden. And, her friends at
the library hope, coming back to be
waited on from the other side of
the desk.

tion for the materials and services available from the Library; to supplement

New Youth Services Librarian
Mary Scholtens joined the Youth Services
Department in January. Mary recently
graduated from Dominican University with
a Master’s degree in Library and
Information Science, with a concentration
in youth services. Mary has been reading
ever since she can remember and her
current favorite book is Chasing Vermeer
by Blue Balliett. Ait is another one of
Mary’s interests, particularly pottery. Mary
did her undergraduate work in ceramics at
Hope College in Holland, Michigan, and
she currently spends her spare time

Acknowledgments
Deerfield Public Library gratefully
acknowledges the many monetary gifts it
received through the years in memory of
Amy Simon. These donations were primarily
used to purchase materials for the Youth
Services Department “to expand knowledge of the world and its people.”
Recently, the family and friends of Olivia
Lucy Yang donated to the Youth Services
Department in Olivia’s memory. The
Library selected Asian-themed books and
language CDs for children.
In addition, the family of Carolyn Colburn
designated Deerfield Public Library as a
recipient of gifts in Ms. Colburn’s memory.
The Library has since purchased several
books in her name.
The Deerfield Woman’s Club has also regu
larly contributed toward adult books in
memory of its members.
The Library is honored to be the recipient
of these memorial gifts.

Do you check your email more frequently
than your voicemail? Would an email
reminder about soon-to-be-due books help
you rearrange your errands? This summer,
the Deerfield Public Library will make email
notification available for patrons who prefer
to learn about holds or overdue items via
email rather than a phone call. The library is
looking for 100 VOLUNTEERS to help test
the system before it launches in June. If you
would like to preview this service and receive
email notification about your library account,

You’ve Got Books!
In January, the Libraiy asked patrons to vote for their favorite book from the last 25 years.
Adults voted for everything from Pulitzer Prize-winner Lonesome Dove to book group
favorite My Sister's Keeper. Children, on the other hand, filled the ballot boxes to the brim
with the same beloved titles. The book with the overall largest number of votes was Harry
Potter. (Not every voter designated which Harry Potter book, but it was clear that Harry
and his friends at Hogwarts were number one with readers.) Second place was the popular
fantasy Eragon, and third place went to The Berenstain Bears.

Message from the
Library Director
II is an honor to

serve this commu

■

nity as your new
Library Director.
The Board, staff
and I seek to build
on the solid foun
dation set in place by former
Administrative Librarian Jack Hicks
and the others who have dedicated
themselves to our purpose over the years.
At our recent all-staff meeting, the staff
members and I began by reading our
mission statement together, aloud: “To
provide our community with open
access to the world of information and
ideas, encouraging lifelong learning
and personal growth in a welcoming
environment.” Each day we seek new
ways to make that happen.
Whether we continue to do this in our
present facility, or perhaps by pursuing
a newer facility to meet the community’s
needs in the future, our focus on this
mission will remain the same.
How will you make the best use of
your library—your access point to the
world of ideas and information?
Whether you enter through our glass
front doors or through our virtual portal
(www.deerfieldlibrary.org), we are
here, ready to serve your changing
interests and needs. Make yourself at
home here!

library encourages aspiring authors from 2nd Grade through
adult to participate.
For Adults: High School and above. Describe one of your
“Favorite Things” in a short, unpublished piece of creative
writing. The library will honor adult winners at a reading and
elegant “high tea” at 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 11, at the library. Get entry forms and
more information in all departments and online beginning February 1. To be eligible,

In 2006 the New York Times Book Review invited an esteemed panel to select the best

you agree with the critics and put Beloved on the top of the pile? Or will a new favorite
emerge? Get ballots at all public service desks and online beginning January 2. At the
end of the month, librarians will tally your choices and announce Deerfield’s favorite
book!

New DVD Cases Are a Snap
To help you check out items faster, the library replaced the cases on over 2,000 DVDs. The
best way to remove DVDs from their cases after you’ve checked them out and taken them
home is to open the case and press down on the center dot that says “Push.” The DVD
should pop out of the case easily without cracking.

Space StrugglesNew Services
As
librarians in each department are struggling with
space limitations of our current library, we are doing our best to
keep the collection up-to-date and organized, without overflow
ing, and make the best use of space while still providing some
new services in response to user requests.
The new services are
• Language learning ONLINE (for home use only). The
library has added the Rosetta Stone language learning soft
ware to its list of databases. You use this interactive language
learning product from your home computer (you cannot use it
at the library)! learning at your own pace with no tapes or
CDs to return to the library.
Aimed at the traveler, these Rosetta Stone courses include
French, German, Italian, Russian, Spanish, English (UK) and
English (US). You can use the English course to improve your
skills in your own language. The language immersion method
emphasizes speech and is a fast way to leant a language. You
match an image to a spoken word or phrase.
' Number 2
• More Internet computers...streamlined sign-up...relocation
of library catalogs. Starting in fall, there will be three more
Internet computers (making a total of nine) in the Adult
Reference area better to meet the demand within the available
space. Some library catalogs will be relocated to kiosks more
convenient to the stack areas. The Internet computers in Youth
Services will be dedicated to children and their parents or
caregivers.
A new collection of video games for Playstation 2 and
X-box console systems! Deerfield cardholders will be able to
check out these titles for one week. Some of the new titles
purchased include Halo, Lord of the Rings, Prince of Persia,
Ninja Gaiden and X-Men. In the coming months we shall be
adding more titles to keep up with the growing demand for
these titles. Borrowing is limited to 2 per family until the
collection grows. Children under 18 must obtain a parental
permission slip (different from the video permission slip) at
the Circulation Desk for the games.
Go to the library’s website (www.deerfieldlibrary.org) and
click on “Online Databases.” Scroll down and click on
“Rosetta Stone.” You must make up and enter your own
user name and password, then enter the bar code from
your Deerfield library card as the registration code. You
must enter user name and password each time you use the
product. Instructions will guide you through. Rosetta Stone
offers free technical support by e-mail, fax and telephone.
Studying in the library is easier with our lightening-fast wireless
internet. Bring your laptop and enjoy this library service.

�K.LD.D.O.S. Raises Money
for Library
Deerfield’s energetic Sue Vani, mother of two young children and
Lincolnshire first grade teacher, decided that young children need
ed to learn about philanthropy and that even pre-schoolers needed
to find a way to give back to their community. She came up with
the idea of K.LD.D.O.S. (Kids in Deerfield Doing Outstanding
Service). Their first annual event was a very
successful talent, fashion and art show July 21 at Deerfield’s First
Presbyterian Church. Highlights included an Elvis impersonator
(Kevin Mell, age 8) and hula dancers (Molly and Caroline
Nakahara, ages 7 and 3). Kevin Quigley of Cherry Pit fame
volunteered to emcee, and all proceeds from the show (which also
included a raffle, artwork and crafts) were donated for toys for the library’s Youth
Services Department. Vani said about $1000 was raised and already used to pay for a
new train set, dollhouse, puppets, puzzles and more.
Library Board News
At the spring library board of directors meeting,
the officers were re-elected to their posts for
another year. They are President, David Wolff;
Secretary, Ron Simon and Treasurer, Jeff Rivlin.
Other board members include Ken Abosch, Jeff
Blumenthal, Sheryl Lamoureux and Sunday
Mueller. Their phone numbers and e- mail
addresses appear on page four, should you wish
to contact any of them. Each month the trustees
are holding “Librarian in the Lobby” to discuss
library issues informally with the public. Open
library board meetings are held at 8 p.m. the
third Wednesday of each month.
THE MISSION OF THE
DEERFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY
is to provide our community
with open access to the world
of information and ideas,
encouraging lifelong learning
and personal growth in a
welcoming environment.
Vani’s friends Danielle Pedderson and Marla Callistein helped Vani organize the very
successful event. Their goal this year was to attract children to the library and provide
activity for their younger siblings that would lead to a pleasant library experience. The
library staff is most grateful to Sue, her adult helpers and the children who made it
possible.

In Memoriam
The Library staff was saddened to learn of the
death of John A. Anderson, who served on the
Deerfield Library Board of Trustees for
twenty-four years. Anderson retired from the
board in 2001 when he moved to Wauconda.
He had been a Deerfield resident for thirty-four
years, was first elected to the library board in
1977 and reelected in four subsequent
elections. A multi-faceted man, Anderson was
a strong advocate of freedom of speech, access
by all residents to all forms of information and
of library literacy. He was always a staunch
supporter and friend of our library and we shall
miss him.

Programs,
Projects and
Progress
A report on the year 2000,
Deerfield Library’s Year of
Renewal
During our millennium year we strived to
become a focus in our community, where ren
ovation was the word for the whole Village.
We were involved with bricks and mortar,
computers, landscaping and elevators and still
managed to add over 10,000 books, videos,
audio cassettes and... new this year DVD’s
and books on CD... and to serve all your
information needs.
Our Community where hundreds took passports
behind the scenes to view each department;
music, beanie baby prizes and food were pop
ular! The Bristol Renaissance Faire visited us
in May, taking us back to the 16th century as
Queen Elizabeth Tudor knighted the children,
townspeople picnicked on the lawn and music
and dancing provided a leisurely contrast to
our 21st century.
Programs
We held 61 adult programs, including several
co-partnered with the Deerfield Fine Arts
Commission, Deerfield Area Historical Society,
U.S. Foreign Policy Association and North
Suburban Library System. We offered income
tax assistance, flu shots, voter registration,
free July 4 lemonade, Ravinia passes, the 4th
annual Rosemary Sazonoff Creative Writing
Contest, 15 classes on using the Internet and
monthly Librarian in the Lobby, our “in person
suggestion box”.
We served Deerfield schools and students
with our annual Student Government Day,
where we learn along with our teens, and with
library instruction for junior high students.
Youth Services Reading Roundup has been a
rousing success for 2-8th graders, and
Exploring Art Through Literature workshops
are the talk of the town. Crafts and storytime
are popular Family Fun Night activities.
Library visitors from the Chinese Academy of
Sciences said, “If only we had something like
this for our children in China!”
Other projects finalized this year are lobby
and entrance remodeling to meet ADA stan
dards, rebuilding of an elevator, and rebuilding of the west garden (Youth Services area),
Cell phone use was banned to make the library
more peaceful
Progress
Plans for the future include a revamp of the
AV room to become more accessible and
attractive: new lights and proper shelving for
books on tape, videos and DVD’s
Jeff Blumenthal was appointed to the
library board to replace Yvonne Sharpe in
2000. Bill Seiden also served in 2000 as presi
dent of the North Suburban Library System. In
2001 Bill Seiden and John Anderson will leave
their Deerfield Library board positions and a
2001 spring board election will bring changes
to the makekup of the library board. We were
saddened at the death this year of Tony
Sabato who retired from the library board in
1997 after 19 years of service.
During 2000, Glenn Poch was selected Head
of Technical Service and spearheaded new
computer installation. Better equipment and
response time has brought us up to speed for
the 21st century and we shall continue to
enhance our collection, and provide valuable
service to our community.
Projects
Readers of all ages pledged to read 100
books in 2000 in our Century Readers Club. By
December, 5000 books were read and a
reception was held for those ach.ev.ng this
admirable feat. Read Around the World clubs
