Message from
the Director
Thank you, Deerfield!
The recent approval of
the Library’s request for
funding for the Library
Improvement Plan is a win for everyone
in Deerfield. This gives us the
opportunity to improve our library
building and services, which will benefit
the entire community.
We have begun to get questions about
how soon we will proceed. There are
many steps to be completed and
approvals to be obtained as we move
forward. For example, we need to complete
the architectural designs, and then
share them with Village Commissions as
part of the approval process. Certain
questions or concerns may require some
adjustments to the design or other
changes. When the approval process is
final, we will need to go out to bid for
construction, then evaluate the bids to
assure we are getting the best value and
quality for the project. At best this
process will take several seasons, if all
goes smoothly.
We appreciate the ongoing interest of
our residents, and we will continue to
keep you updated via our Facebook and
Website pages. We received very positive
feedback about our openness during the
referendum, and we plan to continue
sharing our progress with you along the
way. Of course you are also welcome to
attend Library Board meetings, or read
the minutes of these meetings on our
website. Keeping you informed and
involved is important to us, so please
share your questions and comments
along the way.

Library Improvement Plans Move Forward
The November 2 referendum for $11,775 million to fund the Library Improvement
Plan was approved! Over 58.4% of Deerfield voters voted yes, with 41.5% voting against.
The plan calls for improvements to the Library building and services, in order to
meet the needs of Deerfield residents for the next 20 years or more. Space will be
reorganized, remodeled, and expanded. The building layout will become more open
and flexible to allow for changing needs and multi-purpose uses. Adults will have
more quiet reading areas. Additional computers will be added for adults and children,
and a new Technology Lab will offer instruction and workshops. The Youth Services
area will be improved, along with a larger and better designed Youth Program Room.
All restrooms will be ADA compliant. Self-check kiosks and a convenience center will
be added, and the meeting room will be enlarged. The building’s aging infrastructure
will be upgraded or replaced, and the parking lot will be improved.
“The vote is a win for everyone in Deerfield. This gives us the opportunity to improve
our Library building and services, which will benefit the entire community,” said Ken
Abosch, President of the Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees. “The Library
Board is grateful to eveiyone who provided ideas and feedback as we developed the
Library Improvement Plan. We also want to thank Deerfield residents for the time
they took to become informed about the referendum.”
The Board will proceed with the Libraiy Improvement Plan in the most expedient
and efficient manner possible. There are many steps involved, including finalizing
architectural design, reviewing of the plans by Village commissions, completing
construction documents, and bidding the various phases of construction work. It’s not
possible at this time to say exactly when construction will begin.
Please check the Library’s Web site for the latest information about implementation
of the Library Improvement Plan.

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.

Boys and Reading:
What’s the Problem? What’s the Solution?
Parents and teachers concerned with the question, “How can we get
boys to read?" will want to hear award-winning author Marc
Aronson’s answers. Aronson believes the key to helping boys succeed
at reading is to find out what interests them. He says, “But we do the
opposite. We treat reading as novel reading and tell boys who like
facts, battles, sports magazines, websites, or fantasy that they are not
readers.” In this presentation, Dr. Aronson shows how to build
bridges to reading by seeing boys for who they are.
Monday, March 10, 7 p.m. Space is limited.
Author Marc
Aronson
To make reservations, please call 847-945-3311.
We also take special pleasure in bring
ing the Library out into the community.
With “One Book, One Zip Code,” we are
doing just that! In cooperation with our
community partners (see accompanying
article), One Book programs will occur
in convenient locations throughout the
three-village area. Our Friends group
has been pursuing service outside the
Library, as well. Their popular paper
back bookrack at the train station
provides entertaining reading materials
even for those too busy to squeeze in a
visit to the Library.
Speaking of squeezing into the
Library...
Many of you have begun to ask if there
are plans for the building itself. As
reported in thz Deerfield Review, we
love our downtown location in the
heart of the community. We are cur
rently exploring ways to reconfigure
and refresh the space we have and
considering a possible addition that
would increase our ability to meet
changing community needs and
interests. What can we do for YOU?
This program is a part ofDeerfield Public Library’s Reading Warriors grant. Fundingfor this
grant was awarded by the Illinois Slate Library a division of the Office ofSecretary ofState\ using
funds provided by the Institute ofMuseum and Library Services, under thefederal Library

One Book, One Zip Code
2008: Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder
Community-wide reading programs like “One Book, One Chicago” are becoming popu
lar across the country and around the world. Last year, representatives from Deerfield,

This spring we invite you to read Mountains Beyond

follows “the quest of Dr. Paul Farmer, the man who
would cure the world.” Kidder focuses on Farmer’s

tial health care options for the poor. Inspiring and
thought provoking, the book captivatingly explores the
issues of poverty, health care, and international aid.

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.
