From the Director
I’m writing this column in July and it’s a challenge to anticipate
where we will be in August, when the newsletter is mailed. We have
experienced so many changes in the past few months and it’s hard to
predict the future. I am so proud of how the library staff have pivoted
to continue to provide so many services for the community. We have
continued to offer a variety of programming including story times,
art programs, book discussion groups for both adults and children,
cooking classes, and special STEAM programs.
Our community loves to read! During our building closure, we saw our average monthly
e-book checkouts grow from 4,000 to nearly 7,000 checkouts in the past few months!
Our digital video services, Hoopla and Kanopy, have also seen a noticeable increase in
monthly checkouts. All these electronic services provide materials for adults and children.
Our YouTube channel views have also increased from approximately 2,000 for the month
to over 5,000 views. And, our podcast featured some great topics: The 1918 Influenza
Pandemic and the Chicago Bulls connection to Deerfield.
Our contactless curbside pickup has been wildly successful and we look forward to
continuing that on some level as we move forward into the new world of living with
COVID-19. This was a service that staff had previously discussed implementing and now
was the right time to introduce it.
COVID-19 is our new reality. We are planning ahead to provide for programs that can be
either virtual or in person. We continue to add digital content to our collection. The DPL
staff continues to serve our community with imagination, attention to detail, and a warm
smile under their face masks. We look forward to the time when we can serve you both
outside and inside the building.
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director

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

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

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

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

Regular Meeting Minutes
June 17, 2015
f.
Update from Memorials Committee
Mr. Simon, the Chair of the Memorials Committee, reviewed his research regarding how other Libraries
have honored people, named rooms, processed gift giving, etc. He explained that the Library's current
gifting policies are weak. The Committee's goal is to establish clear guidance for the Board to use when
taking action. Also, it will be helpful for future boards to maintain the reason a room is named for
someone. He reviewed some of the ideas under consideration, including mounting a tree whose leaves
include names of donors at the top of the stairway, and the use of nameplates stating "Donated by...''. Mr.
Simon invited all members to participate in the Committee's discussions. Ms. Wener asked to join the
Committee.
g.
Schedule next Committee Meeting
Mr. Simon announced that he would send out information regarding the next committee meeting options,
blind-copying each Board member, noting that no group conversation can occur outside of a public
meeting. The agenda and date will be provided to the office in sufficient time to post the meeting.
Other-The Board members reviewed the July Fourth activity plans.
h.
Discussion of Sunday hours
Mr. Schriftman reviewed the current scheduling and compensation for Sundays and stated that he had
been asked about extending the hours. There was discussion regarding the impact of a change in Sunday
hours and how those issues could be addressed. Mr. Simon stated that the Strategic Planning process is
the place to consider this, along with the many other issues raised, such as adding staff, changing
compensation practices, and whether new objectives will justify changing the current staffing levels. There
was some discussion regarding the process of strategic planning and members discussed various options
for addressing the processes and how other public entities have handled the process.
Other-The Board members discussed changing Board meeting times to accommodate lengthy Board
discussions and how the public might have access to the meeting should they wish to join it after 9:00 p.m.
when the front doors are locked. Resolutions considered included: a doorbell, a sign on the door, keeping
a staff member at the front door, sending the issue back to committee, and holding the meeting at the
Village Hall. Mr. Handler suggested that an off-duty officer could be employed in case someone might
want to enter the building. Mr. Abosch noted that, in the last ten years, there has not been a single time
when anyone came to attend a meeting mid-way, much less at the end.
10. EXECUTIVE SESSION
No executive session held.
11. ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business, Mr. Schriftman made a motion to adjourn, seconded by Ms. Reuther. The
motion was approved and the meeting was adjourned.

FRIENDS LIAISON REPORT
Mr. Simon said that Ms. Elaine Haney had sent her apologies that she could not attend this evening. No report
was available.
Ms. Maureen Wener asked if a process was available to pay donations online to the Friends. Ms. Pergander
explained that a system is not currently available to accept credit card payments for payments to the Friends,
but suggested that the process may need to be re-examined.
Mr. Goldberg explained that some Board members act as the Board's liaisons to the Friends group. He invited
Ms. Wener to consider acting as one of the Board liaisons.
Mr. Abosch explained that the Friends of Deerfield Public Library is a separate legal entity and a 501-3C non
profit. The revenues for the Friends and the Library cannot be comingled.
7.
VILLAGE LIAISON REPORT
Mr. Bill Seiden provided an update on Village Board activities, including an anticipated change of the July 4th
parade route next year that may affect the Library. He also explained how the Village was responding to a
reduction in State sales tax revenues for the Village. Ms. Wener asked if the Village could reduce the Library's
funding since the State was reducing the Village's revenues. Mr. Seiden explained that the Library's revenue
source, the property tax levy, is a separate source that is not affected by Village actions.
8.
LIBRARY DIRECTOR REPORT
a. Highlights from Director's written report
Ms. Pergander shared the following highlights: This is my last monthly report for the Board. I have greatly
appreciated the opportunity to serve this community, and I appreciate all the support I have received from
the Board. All the staff members appreciated the treats provided by the board for National Library Week.
The chairs in Youth Services were replaced by the manufacturer due to fabric flaws resulting in premature
wear and splitting. Claire Steiner, Ellen Kaiser, along with other managers and staff members, successfully
combined the lower level service desks, and also created a new seating area using furnishings already in the
building. Tony Keaton and Meg Anthony are prepared for the two day electrical work, and Judy Hoffman and
others are creating an information campaign to alert the public. We have contracted for two large flower
pots for the outer front entrance, which the landscapers will fill three times seasonally per year. Members of
the management team are pitching in to support Meg as Interim, with certain redundancies of training
helping assure a smooth transition and adequate coverage of key responsibilities. Trisha Steele helped
arrange for free chair massages for staff members to celebrate National Library Week. The Park District,
Village, and Library are continuing talks to improve coordination of health care plans. There are only minor
changes in charges at this time, pending more information late fall. The audit is nearing completion. There
were 59 reservations for the large meeting rooms last month. Ellen Kaiser of Patron services received $355
of materials returned after she sent personal reminder letters last month. Six Assistants are attending
Reaching Forward. Sayaka Suzuki staffed a recruiting table at the jobs fair at Trinity University. All current
Pages were promoted to Library Aide. The Support Services department is cleaning about 30 discs per day.
Pam Skittino also oversaw the addition of Picture Books, Adult Nonfiction, and Adult Fiction as new catalog
options. We had our highest circulation ever in 2014 at 485,518. Also, Youth programming attendance has
increased from 4,761 to 13,500 in two years, while Adult similarly increased from 808 to 3201 in the same
period.
b. Thank You from staff for the wonderful staff appreciation treats
See above.
c. Loss of DVDs and Blu-rays, and action taken
In addition to the addition of the security camera mentioned above, we are reporting the losses to police,
and are taking other steps to secure the collection.

g-
for areas needing attention.
Social media and staff Intranet update
There is significantly increased activity on our social media reach and engagement in just the past few weeks
after the arrival of our new Digital Media Coordinator. We are adding one security camera to the Media area
while evaluating other future additions. Tom Owen conducted a staff survey about proposed Intranet
improvements, and he is targeting the top requests by staff for the first rounds of improvements.
Update - Zingerman's customer service training half-day for staff
Ms. Pergander reviewed the nine-month history of the move to incorporate Zingerman's principles, initially
introduced by Ellen Kaiser. In April, the Library staff attended a half day session led by a Zingerman's trainer.
It was very well received by staff.
Update - GIVING button for donations, and related donation information
The proposed GIVING button has been implemented, and the button leads to a page offering the
opportunity to donate to the Friends or the Library.
Mr. Abosch asked about the uses of surveillance cameras in the Library where thefts have occurred, how they
will help when patrons can move materials anywhere in the Library, and whether there would be signage. Ms.
Pergander confirmed that signage is already posted. There was some discussion regarding other actions the
Library might take to address the loss of materials, including checking Amazon for the sale of similar items but
with missing cases, moving the collections, and increasing supervision in the areas of theft.
9.
OLD BUSINESS

Recommendation to not release to the public closed minutes reviewed at the April 15 closed meeting
session
The process for releasing closed minutes was discussed. Mr. Abosch noted that a review and
reconsideration of all closed minutes is required every six months and that action must be taken only in
open session. Ms. Pergander said that the closed minutes are retained on tape, as well as in written form.
Mr. Howard Handler asked how old the closed minutes are. It was explained that some are from the mid2000's. Those that have to do with particularly sensitive personnel or lawsuit issues have been kept closed.
Mr. Simon reviewed the advice given by legal counsel, and noted that closed minutes can be opened in the
future if the Board members choose to take that action.
MOTION: Mr. Goldberg made a motion to not release to the public the closed minutes reviewed at the April 15
closed meeting session, seconded by Mr. Schriftman

Update - Replacement of main electrical switch and Library closure on June 2 and 3
This item was covered under the Director's Report.
Farmer's Market dates (Aug. 1, Sept. 26) and assignments for Board members
Mr. Simon reviewed what usually occurs at the Village of Deerfield Farmers' Market. He said that the
primary purpose is to see the public, answer questions, and to collect input and suggestions. He explained
that staff set up the table and materials, and Board members usually man the booth between 9:00 a.m. to
noon. There are typically two Board members for each date, although more members are welcomed.
Ms. Pergander noted that staff covers two other Farmers' Market dates and representatives from the
Friends group are present on other dates too.
Ms. Reuther & Mr. Abosch volunteered to man the booth on August 1st. Ms. Wener said that she is available
for both dates. Mr. Handler and Mr. Schriftman volunteered to cover the booth on September 26th.
10. NEW BUSINESS
a. Recommendation to hire new Library Director
Mr. Simon explained the director search process and thanked Mr. Abosch for his leadership on the search
committee.
Mr. Abosch reviewed the offer letter provided and said that it had been accepted. He then reviewed some
of the experience that Ms. Amy Falasz-Peterson has as a Director, including a referendum and a
collaborative building project.
Ms. Wener asked why Ms. Falasz-Peterson is changing jobs. Mr. Abosch explained that, although she really
enjoys her current position, she is originally from this area; also there is a higher usage of the library in
Deerfield and there are other challenges and opportunities here. Mr. Simon added that Ms. FalaszPeterson was not looking for a new position when the consultant contacted her.
Mr. Abosch reviewed the basic structure of offer, including the annual salary and wage per pay period,
establishing goals, the performance-based bonus target and maximum, the Board's performance review,
and a signing bonus that can be used to assist with relocation expenses and previously established vacation
plans. He stated that other aspects of the offer are all in accordance with the Library's established
employment practices and personnel policies.
MOTION: Mr. Goldberg made a motion to approve hiring Ms. Amy Falasz-Peterson, in accordance with the
package as presented by Mr. Abosch, seconded by Mr. Schriftman
Vote: 7 yes - Ken Abosch, Michael Goldberg, Howard Handler, Jean Reuther, Seth Schriftman, Ron Simon, and
Maureen Wener. The motion was approved.
Mr. Handler asked about the process for giving notice to the public regarding the new director. Mr. Simon

c.

Interim Director.

Scheduling of Board Orientation Session - Financials

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

plans for Support Services

staffing plan, described the process for sharing desks, and the consequences to productivity.

Department, at a cost not to exceed $4,000. Mr. Schriftman provided a second to the motion.

Maureen Wener. The motion was approved.
h.
Update from Memorials Committee
Mr. Simon asked that this item be added to the next Board meeting's agenda. He reviewed the mission of
committee, and the need for an improved and formal policy, noting that a case-by-case basis is not
sufficient.
Processes were discussed, including how research is conducted, the involvement of staff, and the Board's
engagement. Mr. Simon said he would like to have a committee meeting scheduled with all Board
members invited.
i.
REMINDER - Art Festival Preview Party, May 29, 6 to 8 pm, Village Hall
Ms. Pergander reviewed the Art Festival Preview Party, explaining that it is an opportunity to network with
the other Village movers and shakers. Mr. Abosch noted that spouses can be included but that attendance
does require an RSVP.
11. OTHER DISCUSSION ITEMS
a.
Mr. Schriftman asked about the protocol for Board member email addresses, noting that one member has
an email address at deerfieldlibrary.org. Mr. Handler said that using this email address will help to avoid
FOIA request complications, but Ms. Pergander explained that a FOIA request could be placed for all Board
member emails regardless of the email address. Ms. Wener said providing board email addresses
@deerfieldlibrary.org seems like a good idea and it was suggested that the idea be placed on next
meeting's agenda.
b.
Mr. Abosch inquired how closed session minutes can be approved without releasing them. Ms. Pergander
said that the minute dates can be placed on the next agenda.
12. EXECUTIVE SESSION
No executive session held.
13. ADJOURNMENT
At 10:36, there being no further business, Mr. Goldberg made a motion to adjourn, seconded by Mr.

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

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

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

Message from the
Director
Bravo, Judy Hortin!
Our steadfast Head
of Reference, Judy
Hortin, is retiring
after nearly twenty
years of dedicated
service to our com
munity and library.
Never one to draw attention to herself,
Judy wants to slip quietly out the door
without fanfare. Nevertheless, we know
many of you will miss her nearly as
much as we will, so we pay special
tribute to her in our newsletter.
Thank you, Judy, for the strong
example you have set of excellent
service and professionalism.
“A person’s a person,
no matter how small. ”
— Dr. Seuss, Horton Hears a Who!
r.
s4tx\
“There are no small questions. ”
— Judy Hortin
When Judy Hortin retires from her
position as Head of Reference at the
end of the summer, it’s the stories of
the people she’s worked with and helped,
not the ones printed in books, that will mean the most to her.
“What I’ll miss most is the mix of working with people and the intellectual
stimulation of the brain. I really eryoy being around people who care about
the same things that I do—cultural pursuits,” said Hortin.
Iron Chef Deerfield
Which teen’s cuisine
reigns supreme? Iron
f
Chef Deerfield, a
cooking competition
for high school stu
dents based on the
popular TV show, pre
mieres at 2 p.m. on October 18. Six teams of
teens (up to three per team) will show off
their improv cooking chops to a live audi
ence. After learning their surprise ingredi
ents, these budding chefs will have one
hour and access to the Library’s extensive
cookbook collection to plan and prepare a
meal to serve our discerning tasting panel.
This program is part of the American
Library Association’s Teen Read Week,
“Books with Bite.” All materials will be
provided by the Library. Space is limited,
so please call (847) 945-3311 ext. 19 to
reserve your place.
■>
Fortunately for Judy’s coworkers, her definition of culture is a broad one.
One of Judy’s most lasting contributions to Deerfield Public Library’s cultural
archive will be her fearless, and often funny, song stylings—a children’s
classic at the holidays, custom lyrics to a popular tune, some Civil War ditty
that she claims she dug up while answering a reference question.
Library Director Mary Pergander thanks Judy for “the strong example she has
set of excellent service and professionalism.” Judy’s patience, kindness, sense
of fun, and passion for helping others will remain models for all who had the
great joy of working with her.
Coming Soon: Live Homework Help!
The Library will offer Tutor.com, which provides trained and trusted
tutors to provide individual assistance to students of all ages online.
Log on and learn this fall!

soys and Girls Read
A concerned parent remarked that we
seemed to be favoring boys over girls in some
recent youth programming. Temporarily, that
was true. We received grant money to pro
mote reading among boys, based on evidence
that some boys need focused assistance to be
strong readers. The grant and additional local
funding allowed us to offer several boy-target
ed reading programs. We are delighted that
many girls have requested extra attention,
too, and we now offer reading clubs for girls,
as well. And of course, both boys and girls
ei\joy reading to our furry, four-legged K-9
Reading Buddies each month. For more infor
mation about reading programs for girls
and/or boys, see our fall book discussions!

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!
Stop by and see for yourself,
or visit us online at

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.
