�From the Director
Every year when I write the fall Browsing
column, I reminisce about back to school
supply shopping. I had a Trapper Keeper
that had adorable puppies in which I
could keep all my 5th grade assignments
in impeccable order. Also, my mother was
persuaded to buy me some fun glittery Lisa
Frank stickers and pencils. I still occasionally
pick up a new glittery pen when I take my
own kids back to school shopping. The new school supplies
motivated me to get ready for the upcoming school year.
Best wishes to students of all ages for an engaging and
inspiring school year.
Fall seemed like the perfect time to survey our community
about library services. It has been a few years since DPL
underwent a strategic planning process and I’m excited to
announce that we are commencing the process this fall!
On the back cover, there is a QR code that you can scan to
take a quick survey to provide us feedback on what we can
do better to serve you. You can also access the survey at
https://deerfieldlibrary.org/survey.
Your responses will help shape our goals and budgets for
years to come. DPL’s mission is to serve our community in
the best possible way. After all, we are a public library and
exist to serve our public.
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director
The MakerSpace: Your Imagination Station
In November 2019, we opened the doors to the brand new
DPL MakerSpace. We were visited by many curious and creative
patrons before we had to shut the doors just five months later,
due to the pandemic.
Soon after the closure, we were able to arrange for patrons to
submit projects that staff would process. When complete, the
projects could be picked up curbside. Eventually, we could have
one person in at a time to use the equipment. Now, we are happy
to report, our doors are fully open for appointments and walk-ins.
And, oh, the projects you all have been dreaming up!
At the point that Jackie Guagliardo was dreaming up party plans
for her soon-to-be dentist daughter’s graduation, the previous
issue of this newsletter landed in her mailbox. Jackie read
about the cornucopia of creative options, and quickly made an
appointment to come in and learn more about the MakerSpace.
“The staff was wonderful about working through the many ideas
with me,” said Jackie. “Once I learned about all the tools available,
I came up with a few more ideas. The staff patiently taught me
how to use the equipment, and it was loads of fun.”
Jackie is pictured with a few of the party pieces. The vinyl cutter
was used to make the framed table signs, as well as the white
vinyl teeth on the placeholders. The laser engraver was utilized
to engrave “daughter info” in the wooden bases for picture
frames. The laser
engraver was also
used to engrave
special messages
and illustrations
on water bottles
used at each
table.

Just ahead of
Valentine’s Day,
Ron Swidler
created a
Jackie Guagliardo and a few of her party pieces
created in the MakerSpace.
silhouette of his family on his computer
(dogs included, of course) as a gift to his wife.
Following that success, Ron returned to the MakerSpace with
designs of his three brothers’ families to create a collection of
silhouettes for his mom’s 80th birthday. The vinyl cutter and
the MakerSpace were just the tools and team he needed. The
silhouettes were cut from matte black vinyl, then mounted and
framed as beautiful keepsake birthday gifts.
For an upcoming 60th birthday party, a patron used the
embroidery machine to create special napkins, the laser
engraver for customized shot glasses, and the button machine
for…buttons!
What about personalized baby shower gifts, you ask? Bring in
some onesies and we’ll show you how to use the vinyl cutter
to create iron-on vinyl transfers. Yep, we’ve got the iron, too.
A huge birthday (or graduation) banner always adds a spark to
a celebration. That’s just what our large format printer is here
for, and so much more!
Dust off those boxes full of slides, photos, cassettes, and VHS
tapes. Our popular Digital Media Lab has all you need to
convert that old technology into accessible digital files.
With the reopening, we expanded the MakerSpace creative
team, so there is always someone here to train you on the tools
that will make your ideas a reality. In addition, we have a large
offering of classes for enthusiasts
at all levels. See page 7 for the
upcoming list of programs.
Full details about the MakerSpace
equipment and use, hours of
operation, and access to the online
reservation form are available at
deerfieldlibrary.org/makerspace.
Ron Swidler used the vinyl cutter to transform
his silhouettes into framed family gifts.

Digital Deerfield:
DHS Yearbooks and more!
Story on page 2
�From the Director
In past columns, I’ve alluded to the
planned renovation of our Media area.
As this newsletter goes to press, we are
about ready to begin construction of
our new MakerSpace, a collaborative
workspace. First, the shelves will be
rotated, and the Media desk will be
moved. Later in August, we anticipate
full construction to begin, which should last approximately
4-6 weeks. Watch our social media channels and website
(deerfieldlibrary.org/makerspace) for information about
the opening of the new space.
The Library is committed to meeting the needs of our
community. We undertook this project as part of the Library’s
current Strategic Plan. From our research and planning in 2016,
we knew there was an interest in increased STEAM-related
offerings. The STEAM acronym stands for Science, Technology,
Engineering, Art, and Math. Since 2017, we have continued to
add new STEAM programs. These have included our popular
3D printing programs, as well as Tech Drop-ins, that provide
a casual opportunity to see new technologies in action.
We have also added non-traditional items, like our Discovery
Kits, to the library’s collection. The Discovery Kits focus on
STEAM and other creative concepts with hands-on making.
A kit is a curated collection of items available around a theme.
The new MakerSpace is going to house STEAM-related equipment and provide additional table seating for people to use all
hours the Library is open. When the construction is completed,
we will have a new, larger service desk across from the book
return, which will serve Media and additional patron needs.
There is more to share! Turn to page 11 for a rendering of the
new space, as well as a list of some of the equipment that we
will have available.
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director
Local History at Your Fingertips
Do you like your Deerfield High School yearbook picture?
Hope so...because now it’s available for the whole world to see!
The Deerfield Public Library’s local history collection is being

(DHS), we have filled in the holes in our yearbook collection.
We have print editions from 1968-2019, and at the time of
publication, all editions through 2008 have been digitized.
Under the direction of Deerfield Public Library Adult Services
Librarian/Archivist Anne Jamieson, Library staff is tagging the
digital collection. For the DHS yearbooks, this includes every
person and organization listed in the books
The new digital DHS Yearbook collection already tops our
website hits in the Local History Archives, with 1969 currently at
the top spot. Print editions are in the lower level reference area.

1928) history of Deerfield by Marie

Back to School!
5 Fab E- resources
for Youth & Teens
(details on page 2)
�After the lazy days of summer and the smells of
environmentally safe sunscreen, it’s time to get back
to school. I have always ei\joyed shopping for the start
of school-picking out folders and new crayons. DPL
is a great resource for your students to help them
with their homework all year long!
I’m sure I’ve mentioned before that I grew up
appreciating libraries, learning, and books. I
remember heading to our local library so that I could
use a variety of resources, like encyclopedias,
biographies, and almanacs, to work on school reports.
I also remember taking my whole Saturday morning
to do this research, with my parents dropping me at
the library and then going through all those
resources! How much more convenient it would have
been for me, and honestly my parents, if we were able
to simply use an e-resource?
We offer a variety of online resources that supplement
our print collection. All these resources are available
with your DPL card. If it has been a while since
you’ve updated your card, stop by the library during
the 69 hours we’re open each week and the staff will
be happy to take care of that. After that, the
resources are yours to use!
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director
DPL is your online Answer Place!
School has started, which means the homework projects are lining up. We can help with that! While we love to see you in-person,
you don’t need to come to the library to take advantage of the online resources we offer for researching a topic for a paper,
homework help, connecting with a tutor, or learning a new language.
Here is an introduction to a few of our dynamic online resources. You can find these, and many more, on the Library website at
deerfieldlibrary.org/online-resources.
HQ Research Projects
No more heavy (book) lifting
required when researching for a paper,
preparing for a classroom discussion, or
lining up resources for the debate team.
Encyclopedia Britan nica online
gives you three sites in one: Children;
Young Adults; and the Reference Center
for older students and adults. Choose the
level that works best for your research.
This is a great resource for exploring
the rich and varied history of the United
States through speeches, historical
accounts, memoirs, poems, images,
and multimedia,
ScholasticGo: Eveiy topic search
provides results at four different reading
levels. This easy-to-navigate resource
includes more than 80,000 vetted
websites, topographical, historical, and
current interactive maps, videos, and
multiple dictionaries. ScholasticGo was
developed to help students strengthen
content knowledge, vocabulary, and core
proficiency skills.
2
Facts on File/Issues &
Controversies: Contains more than
800 articles on current events issues
written for students, including pro/con
articles, debate videos, guidance on
evaluating online sources, and more.
Ib ensure objective coverage and a
wide range of competing viewpoints, the
editors rely on hundreds of leading print
and electronic news sources from the
United States and around the world.
Homework Help
Everyone has a different
learning style, and you’ll be sure to find
the right fit with this resource.
Brainfuse HelpNow: Come here
for help from real, live tutors online!
Assistance is available for math, science,
social studies or English. Tutors are
available for Kindergarten - 12th grade,
college introduction level students, and
adult learners, seven days a week from

advantage of the Writing Lab for online
writing assistance, and skills testing.
jj|[] Learn a Language
v

also offers an advantage in the future of
our global marketplace.

of over 50 languages including Hindi,
Mandarin Chinese, Russian, and Urdu.

Awesome Things
Library cards available for
awesome readers ages 5+
(Tour of Awesome begins on page 2)
i
�September is officially
Library Card Sign-up
Month!
This “holiday” is an initiative
championed by the American
Library Association to promote,
you guessed it, library cards! In
1987, Education Secretary
William J. Bennett wanted a
way to encourage all children
to get, and use, a library
card. Since then,
libraries use this
month as a way
Celebrate Library Card Sign-up
Month by exploring the awesomeness
of your Deerfield Public Library!
True, you don’t need a library card for all these activities, but
everyone should have this awesome card in their wallet.
Library cards are available for ages 5+!
to remind the public that a
library card is a way to explore
educational and recreational
resources. Public libraries are
great equalizers. There are very
few civic institutions that serve
people from all backgrounds
and walks of life. Public
libraries are a source of
community pride, and each one
is unique in how it serves its
community.
At Deerfield Public Library,
we are very proud of the
variety of services we offer
our community. Throughout
this issue of Browsing, we
will be highlighting some of
the great things that you can
do with your DPL card.
We hope you will find
something new
and unique.
With your library card, in
addition to being able to check
out books in a variety of
formats, I encourage you to
explore the Library's wide
variety of digital resources. Are
you looking to make an
automobile purchase this year?
Be sure to check out our new
Auto Finance Resource
database. Download the hoopla
app to get access to hundreds
of streaming TV shows, movies,
and audiobooks. And we have
an amazing, professional staff
available to assist you in your
information-seeking endeavors.
We are here to help you find the
information you need.
Deerfield Public Library is
always looking for ways to meet
the needs of the community.
Your library card is the key that
can unlock many doors!

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.
Campbell, or magazines such as Ask! and
Click, and begin your journey of discovery
right here!
*Science in the Preschool Classroom:
Capitalizing on Children’s Fascination with
the Everyday World to Foster Language and
Literacy Development by Kathleen Coneczio

and Lucia French, Young Children, September
