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

DEERFIELD
fj| Please register in advance at the Library, by phone at 847-945-3311 or
at deerfieldlibraryorg. Registration opens Wednesday, November 14.
In 1959, residents of Deerfield learned a housing developer planned to sell homes in the village to
black buyers as well as white buyers. Many residents opposed integration and sought to halt the
development. A smaller group, the Deerfield Citizens for Human Rights, formed in support of the
development. In the weeks that followed, Deerfield residents passed a park referendum designed to
condemn the developer’s land. The crisis in Deerfield became a national story, attracting the attention
of Martin Luther King Jr., James Baldwin, and Eleanor Roosevelt. After years of demonstrations and
legal battles, the land became parks that stand today.
Continuing a community tradition, the Library is inviting residents, historians, and experts to offer
new insights into this history. We have updated and digitized our archives, made new acquisitions and
discoveries. The Library is also partnering with Deerfield schools to enhance existing curriculum. We invite
you tojoin us for a series of discussions, lectures, exhibits and other opportunities to reflect on the 60 years
since the fight to integrate Deerfield began. Programs and exhibits run from January 21-May 2,2019.

Read Without Boundaries: Vol. 2
In 2018 we launched our year-long reading program, Read Without Boundaries,
designed to challenge readers to try new authors, genres, and topics. We had such a
great response to this program, and were honored when it was selected the winner of
the 2018 Illinois Library Association Readers’ Advisory Service Award.
Because of the program’s success, we’re excited to announce that the challenge will
continue in 2019, with an opportunity for teens to participate! Each month will focus
on a different theme and participants will be provided with a suggested reading list.
Participants can choose a suggested title or another title, as long as it fits the theme of
the month. In January, we will kick off the challenge by reading a book about Illinois
histoiy or a famous Illinoisan. Stop by the Adult Services desk beginning November 14
for more information and to sign up. Prizes will be awarded monthly and those who
complete all 12 months will be entered into a grand prize drawing.

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

Desk and online at deerlieldlibrary.org/

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

between children (and adults)!
We have a better idea for getting something for your child to
read during this time:
1. Simply call the Youth Services department at 847-580-8962.
2. We can make recommendations, select materials, and put them on the self-service
Holds shelf.
3. You stop by and quickly pick up the books (and check them out) closer to the
front door!
Thank you for your consideration.

Community and Cooperation
It’s been a busy first
three months! I’ve
been so touched by
the community support
and welcome.. .thank
you for making me feel
like I’m home.
I might be new to the Deerfield
community but I have been actively
involved in Illinois libraries since 2000.
I began my Illinois library career at the
Galesburg Public Library. There I got
first-hand knowledge of all that Illinois
libraries have to offer. I became involved
in programs with the Illinois State
Library, Illinois Library Association, and
the regional library system.
While the first part of my career was
spent in the central part of the state,
I am struck by the similarities of local
libraries and the value placed on
resource sharing. With your valid
Deerfield library card, you are able
to use it at local libraries through a
cooperative agreement. If you can’t find
a particular title in our catalog, you can
always search our LINKin catalog, which
provides access to area library catalogs.
This material is delivered here and
you can come by to pick it up from our
self-service Holds shelf. Ask our helpful
staff in Patron Services if you have any
questions about it!
Communities are incredibly passionate
about their public library and Deerfield
is no exception. Please feel free to con
tact me with any questions or concerns
you may have.

Give the Gift that Keeps
Giving - a Library Book!
Claire Steiner, Head of A

Where to start amid the cornucopia of online resources on the Library
website? Start with Gale Virtual Reference Library (GVRL), a
compilation of authoritative reference books, journals, and articles,
all accessible through one online search.
Starting to think about holiday gifts?
Or that next big birthday or graduation?
Honor book lovers of all ages by adding
a book to the Library collection in their
name. The Library accepts donations to
purchase books for the Library as a
gift or memorial. Librarians choose
books that reflect the interests of the
honored person, and a bookplate
with that person’s name is added
to the book. More information at
deerfieldlibrary.org/giving. Stop by the
Adult or Youth desk to speak with a
librarian about your gift.
For example, has the Curiosity
Rover on Mars or The Martian
movie piqued your interest in
the red planet? Research is as easy as...
1. Visit deerfieldlibrary.org/online-resources, scroll down and click on
“Gale Virtual Reference Library.”*
2. Enter your library card # (this is your password).
3. Enter keywords “planet Mars.” Instantly! 62 results in 23 different
publications.
When you find articles of interest, you will be able to:
• Download, print, or e-mail
• Listen to the article
• Translate to another language
• Obtain citations for research papers in two formats
It won’t take long to figure out how to make the most of this rich
resource. If you need help, ask a librarian either in person,
phone (847-580-8933), text (847-790-4898), ore-mail
(reference@deerfieldlibrary.org).

Leading from Vision to Reality
It’s hard to believe we have now been in
our new Library spaces almost a year.
During those crucial transitional years of
planning for the referendum and making
the vision of exciting new Library spaces a
reality, we were fortunate to have stable,
dedicated leadership on the Library Board.
Ken Abosch has served as President since
2008, and we invited him to share his
thoughts for this issue ofBrowsing.
Thank you, Ken, for your years of
successful leadership at the helm of the
Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees.
Mary Pergander
Library Director
In May I will be transitioning out of the
Library Board President role after having
served in this positionfor the last six
years. I will continue to be an active
member of the Board and represent the
constituents ofDeerfield and Library
patrons everywhere in creating a great
Library experience!
These last six years have seen tremendous
advancesfor the Deerfield Public Library
culminating in the wonderful renovated
facility we now all enjoy and are proud to
have in our community. The quality of
our Board members, the dedication of our
staff, the collaboration and supportfrom
Village ofDeerfield officials, and the trust
and commitment rom
f the public has
made this all possible.
I appreciate the confidence the Board has
shown in allowing me to lead this
organization and lookforward to even
greater accomplishmentsfor the Library
in the years ahead!

By the numbers...
°’s - „o(ii“ -^ei,
Even though our stock-in-trade at the Library is words, we thought
you’d be interested to see how we’re doing by the numbers. These
statistics reflect our activity during the year we spent at the temporary
site during the renovation.
Open 69 hours a week
159,810 visits
403,762 items circulated during the fiscal year
82,422 reference questions answered for adults and children
13,920 Deerfield resident Library cards in use
108,118 books owned
22,427 e-books owned
11,090 DVDs owned
977 items loaned to other libraries
45,549 items were loaned to cardholders from other libraries
16,978 log-ons to the Library’s public computers
Although helping those in need is
always in season, the holidays offer
more opportunities for us to give back
to our communities. The Library has
been a drop-off center for TOYS FOR
TOTS for many years and we’re keeping
that tradition alive in our newly
renovated space. Drop off new,
unwrapped toys in the box in the
Library’s lobby now through December
Currently, we’re trending up in all categories, with growth most noticeable in
computer use—including in the Computer Lab, the dedicated computers in the
Youth Services area and the new express computers in the Lobby—and attendance
at Library programs. Due to the lack of space at the temporary facility (which was
about half the size of our permanent home) we weren’t able to present anything
more than book discussions and children’s storytimes during the renovation. Now
we’re going full tilt, offering more interesting and exciting programs for children,
families, teens and adults than ever before—so many that we’ve had to increase
the number of pages in this issue of BROWSING to showcase all of them. Our new
free tech classes (see TECH CONNECTIONS) with a maximum capacity of
12—which is the number of computers available in the lab—fill up almost as
fast as our extremely popular storytimes.
16th Although all types of toys for all
ages are accepted, please remember
The Board, the staff and I are happy to report that we’re busier than ever, with the
great new facilities, Computer Lab, expanded services, and growing collections.
Hope to see you soon!
The Library is also a designated
drop-off location for the Deerfield

What’s in your wallet??!
The smartest card in your wallet is now the
most flexible! Both the new adult and
children’s cards have a key tag, as well
as the familiar wallet size format, which
allows us to send you home with the item
your kids have put on hold, or vice versa. To protect
your account, the material must be checked out on the same
card that was used when the item was placed on hold. In other words, if
your spouse puts material on hold using her or his card, you’ll need that
card to pick up that material for him or her. The key tags allow you to
have a copy of the card and makes everything easy.
If you do decide to exchange your old card for the new format, be sure
to let the Library staff person who’s helping
you know if you check out e-books using
the card or use Zinio. He or she can help
you make the necessary changes.

RENEW,REFRESH,
RECHARGE, REOPEN
Spring is the great season of Renewal. This
year it coincides with the renewal of the
Library building as well. With the
construction project on time and on budget
as I write this in Februaiy, staff members are
already abuzz, planning for the Grand
Reopening scheduled for June. It will be so
rewarding to introduce the remodeled,
transformed, expanded and revitalized
Library to the Deerfield community for the
first time.
During the next few months our staff
members will also prepare to launch the
“new” Library—providing new services,
programs, materials and features to make
your life easier, introduce you to new ideas,
and even inspire you. Hot new technologies
and concepts will coexist with an improved
experience of the more traditional role of the
Library, including cozy corners for reading
and silent study.
While we expect summer’s launch of the new
Library space to be impressive, the Library
will continue to evolve with additional new
services and programs making their debut
throughout the fall, winter, and spring. At any
time, feel free to share your ideas with outstaff members about what more we can do to
make your experience of the Library more
personal and meaningful.
In closing, I want to thank all of you for your
patience while we “camped out” at our
temporary quarters in Cadwell’s Corners. We
felt warmly welcomed there, and the site
worked out great as a small community
library for a short time. Soon, though, it will
be time to restore your Library experience to
its full power.. .and that will be just the
beginning of what comes next.
Mary Pergander
Library Director

New and Expanded Library to Cost
Taxpayers Less than Anticipated
In January, the Village of Deerfield sold the remainder of the bonds to fund the
building project. Due to the low and very advantageous interest rates, taxpayers
will be paying about $76-79 each year (based on a home valued at $500,000 at
the time of the referendum) rather than the $88 or so we had estimated for the
2010 referendum. This will be a FLAT RATE, annually, for the next twenty years.
“We are all veiy proud and pleased that we are able to give Deerfield a newly
remodeled and expanded Library for less cost per year than we expected to pay,”
said Ken Abosch, Library Board president. “And, of course, our thanks to the
Village of Deerfield and its AAA bond rating for making the arrangements for
the sale of these bonds on our behalf.”
I DIDN’T KNOW THAT!
We asked staff to give us the inside track on some frequently over-looked and
under-used Library resources. You may be surprised!
Andrew L., Multimedia: “The Teens page on the Library's
website is a great resource. Take a look at Homework Help.
There's infoimation on Tutor.com, plus links to GREAT teen
sites like TeenSpace. Check it out."
Noreen T., Youth Services: “Museum
Adventure Passes are a terrific Library
value. Use your Deerfield card to get a
pass and getfree admission or a special discount at
more than a dozen local museums and attractions."
Ted G., Adult Services: “One of my
favorite online resources is the
Chicago Consumers Checkbook. This is a lot
like Angie's list and rates various local businesses and
contractors. I needed to purchase a new A/C andfurnace and
found a great contractor who gave us a great price by using
this resource. Unfortunately; this is one of thefew that you
can't access it from home. You need to come into the Library
and use one of our computers, but that's a minor
inconvenience when you consider the value. ”
The Library will be closing just before Memorial Day and reopening in our
newly renovated building about a month later in late June.

Looking back
moving forward
•
•
Deerfield Public Library started the year full
of anticipation about moving to a temporary
site (not even identified until February!) and
getting our building project underway on
time. Although we are in a temporary
location, people have definitely found us!
Total check-outs for all types of materials are
in line with the growth we’ve experienced
these past two years—and we circulate about
490,000 items a year. Free downloads of
Libraiy e-books first doubled, then tripled
during that time! Due to our space
limitations, we are offering fewer programs
than usual, but staples like book discussion
groups for adults and storytimes for children
are in full swing. All in all, community
members are using the Library —including
our expanded online services—as much
as ever.
One of the statistics we don’t like to see
rising is the number of unattended children.
Libraries are public places, and it is safest
(and required) for all children under the age
of nine to be in the direct care of a
responsible adult at all times. We increasingly
find children as young as 18 months
wandering alone, without an adult. This now
happens up to 40 times a month, up from a
low of sue times per month! If you have, or
care for, young children at the Library,
please keep them with you at all times.
Overall, 2012 has been a very successful year
for us, and we deeply appreciate your support
through it all. We look forward to
presenting you with the remodeled,
expanded, and fully stocked Library in
June of 2013. Until then, you can find us at
our temporaiy location and online. We hope
to have the pleasure of serving you veiy soon.

“I didn’t
know that!”
We asked staff to give us the inside track on some frequently over-looked and
under-used Libraiy resources. You may be surprised!
Y\ Kay P., Adult Services: “Ifyou’re lookingfor good
, V recommendations for books, DVDs, and CDs, simply
type 'Staff Picks’ into the Library’s catalog. Click on a
fwL\ mie, scroll down to 'Community Reviews’ and read
Vmk
why this selection made the list. ”
Claudette O., Patron Services:
“Patrons often ask us if we have a
record of the books they’ve read. While the
Library doesn’t keep any records of material that has
been checked out and returned, there is a feature under
'My Account ’ on our website that does give the patron
an option to save their own history. Just log in, click
on the 'My Reading History’ icon and 'opt in’ to the
history option. The history beginsfrom the date the patron opts in,
but should keep the ‘Have I read this one?’ down to a minimum in
thefuture!”

Design the New Children’s Library Card!

will be judged based on creativity,
design and the message communicated.

about the selection. Keep a lookout for the “Teen”

Message from
the Director
' JTf-, " ^
We deeply appreciate the t
feedback from the
community as the Library
Board seeks input about
the possible building improvement
project. The March series of Public Open
Houses, the April/May telephone survey,
and the Citizen Input Group have all
contributed to our understanding of the
perspectives, concerns, and suggestions
about the future of the Library in
our village.
What’s next? The Library Board will
review the feedback from the Open
Houses, telephone survey, and Citizen
Input Group. Based on these and other
resources, the Library Board will select
one of the original four options and begin
to develop it further. They will determine
a preferred course of action, and share it
with the Village Board. Then, the
preferred option will be shared with the
community through the second series of
Public Open Houses. Once again, public
feedback will be collected and reviewed
with the Citizen Input Group. By late
summer, the Library Board will
determine whether to proceed with a
possible referendum.
Want to learn more? Have an opinion to
share? The Library Board will continue to
invite participation through the next
series of Public Open Houses. (See
“Planning for the Future” for dates and
times of the sessions.) Take a behind-thescenes tour. Learn about the issues.
Compare us to other libraries. Consider
the costs. To contact a Board member,
call or email them using the contact
information provided on the back cover
of the newsletter, or the Library website.

Planning for the Future
The Library Board is committed to keeping Deerfield residents informed about,
and involved in, the future of the Library. Based upon feedback from the March
series of Public Open Houses and the telephone survey conducted in April, the
Library Board will select one of the four building improvement options presented
and ask the architects and financial consultant to develop it further. During the
next series of Public Open Houses, the selected option will be presented in more
detail and additional public feedback will be sought. Each event in the series
will follow the same agenda, offering residents a variety of convenient times to
attend. One-hour Open Houses will be held Saturday, June 26 at 3 p.m. and
Tuesday, June 29 at 7 p.m.
Results of March Public Open Houses
Five Public Open Houses were held in March to familiarize Deerfield residents
with the Library building history and needs, additional expressed needs of the
community, four possible building improvement options, and the costs projected
for each option—including possible effects on a resident’s real estate taxes.
About 42 members of the general public attended the sessions, and 30 completed
feedback forms. In addition, members of the Citizen Input Group assisted the
Board in evaluating the community feedback and provided their own perspectives
at a special Board meeting held April 24. Of the four options presented, 35%
preferred Option 3—Remodel and Expand, while 60% selected Option 4—Build a
New Library. The remaining 5% chose Option 1 or Option 2 which provide for
changes necessary to meet code, and limited other improvements.
The Library Board continues to receive valuable input from the Citizen Input Group.
Members are: Christine Barr, John Bartok, Cookie Center, Lorraine Clark, Lisa
Crist, Betsy Eisenhauer, Luisa Ellenbogen, Brooke Fogt, Mark Fox, Mike Gruenhut,
Laurie Leibowitz, Rick Lynn, Nancy O’Neill, Jean Reuther, Bob Rosenbacher, Judy
Smith, Amy Thale, Jane Weinstein-Jacobson and Bruce Zimmerman.
Results of Telephone Survey
The Library Board hired the Northern Illinois University (NIU) Public Opinion
Laboratory to conduct a telephone survey of 400 residents of Deerfield. Phone
numbers were chosen at random from those assigned to the Deerfield area—they
were not provided by the Library, nor did NIU have any access to the Library’s
patron database. The survey was developed by NIU with Libraiy input. Results
will appear on the Library's web site. The Library Board will use the findings,
combined with feedback from the Open Houses and other sources, to make a
decision about which building option to pursue, if any.
Updates on the surveys, reports, and Board actions are available at
http://www.deerfieldlibrary.org/deeifield/planning.asp.

�New improvements to Selection and Service
LINKin
You can now search and request an additional 1.8 million items from our
partner libraries in the LINKin network with your Deerfield Public Library
card. LINKin connects the library catalogs of Deerfield Public Library,
Arlington Heights Memorial Library, Cook Memorial Library, Gail Borden Public
Library, and Skokie Public Library. If an item is not available for checkout at
Deerfield Public Library and is available at one of the partner libraries, the
item will be sent to Deerfield Public Library within three or four days. Patrons
will be notified by phone or email when the item is ready for pickup.
On-Shelf Holds
Deerfield Public Library cardholders may now request “on-shelf’ items through
the Library’s online catalog. When a request is placed, Library staff will retrieve
the item from the shelf within 24 hours (excluding Sundays) and put it on the
new self-service holdshelf for the patron to pick up within 5 days. Due to their
high demand, the Library cannot pull DVDs, videos, or video games.
Self-Service Holdshelf
All holds (LINKin books coming from other libraries, on-shelf holds,
Interlibrary Loan items, and regular holds) are now kept on the self-service
holdshelf to the east of the Circulation desk, by the elevator. Items are arranged
alphabetically by patron last name. These books are not checked out to the
patron and still need to be brought to the Circulation desk for check out.
Enotification Contest
All Deerfield cardholders who have signed up for enotification by Saturday, June 19,
will be entered in a drawing for free Ravinia lawn passes. Enotification allows you to
receive notices about holds and overdue items via email rather than by phone. Visit
the Library’s online catalog and log in to your account, click on the “Modify Personal
Info” button and enter your email address. Need help? Stop by any service desk for
assistance.
Staff News
Reference Librarian John Kelsey retired in mid-April. He will certainly be missed
by patrons and staff alike! Madeline Solien, who started as a Library Science
Practicum student, has been hired as a Reference Librarian.
The Multimedia and Reference/Adult Non-fiction departments have been combined
under the leadership of Emily Compton-Dzak. Assistant Circulation Manager
Lindsay Zabel, working on her MLS degree, has accepted the role of Library
Assistant in this reconfigured department. Also joining the department as Reference
Assistant is Kay Palecek.
Red, White, and Water!

room. All books, CDs, DVDs, and audio
books are priced at $1.00 or $.50. Please
pay for items at the Circulation Desk.
The Friends will be selling used cookbooks
at the Deerfield Farmer’s Market on

helps!) Checks should be made payable to
the Friends of the Deerfield Public Library.

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.
