�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.

2. We can make recommendations, select materials, and put them on the self-service

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.

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,

A harvest basket full of thanks to Whole Foods Market Deerfield for sponsoring
the Friends of the Deerfield Public Library for the One Dime at a lime initiative.
This generous community program collected $2,681 for the Friends, and in turn,
for new Library resources.
Thank you to the Deerfield Fine Arts Commission for co-sponsoring the
filled-to-capacity Paint Night @ the Library.
The Library will once again serve as a drop-off point for the Marines Toys for Tots

that books make great gifts!
