�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.

�From the Director
By now, regular Browsing readers know I
grew up in a family of readers, my kids are
carrying on the tradition. After all, their
mother is a librarian...it’s required.
Last week, my daughter came home
from school with the Scholastic Book
Club catalog. She had circled something
on every page. After she was done, my
son took another colored pen and circled
just as many items. Now, I’m a librarian at a great library with a
robust collection! Why would I consider actually buying books?
I used this as an opportunity to find out why they want to own
books when I can check them out from the library.
My son loves all the Percy Jackson books, and my daughter loves
the series featuring “Front Desk.” They like that they have the
opportunity to take their time to read it and go back to re-read it.
They find comfort in the physical book themselves.
I was struck by that profound sentiment from my middle school-aged
children. And, I started to think about the idea of comfort. We are
entering winter in Chicagoland. Some years, it feels like the winter will
never end...gray days and bone-chilling cold. But, we have all found
ways to comfort ourselves. In my family, it’s with books. Winter is the
perfect time to hunker down and find comfort in the small things in
life. Happy reading!
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director
Individually, they both replied that they like owning their own
books, especially if it’s a title that they particularly enjoyed.
The Wide World of Video at DPL
While the big world of video is always
in season, for many people, winter is a
time they ramp up their video viewing
and gaming. To help you prepare, we
want to make sure you know about
the rich collections (physical and
streaming) available for your winter
entertainment.
Video Games
Are you one of the 227 million in the
U.S. that play video games, solo and
with others? Per a 2021 report of the
Entertainment Software Association,
players say gaming inspires, provides
mental stimulation, and relieves stress.
Our library has a large collection of
games for Switch, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series
X, Xbox One, Wii, and WiiU.
DPL staff is happy to help you discover
new games in our diverse collection.
Multimedia Librarian Ted Gray, who
oversees the video game collection,
loves the sports games like MLB The
Show, and FIFA. Also, the big open
world games like Skyrim, Fallout, and
Red Dead Redemption. Adult Services
Librarian Anne Jamieson recommends
Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Stardew
Valley, and Sid Meier’s Civilization VI.
For info on the newest additions to
the collection, visit deerfieldlibrary.

Ted’s favorite themes is “Don’t Travel with
Tom Hanks” which includes Castaway, Sully,
Captain Phillips, and Apollo 13.

our amazing Digital Media Lab, located in

and Television Shows)
For the streaming formats, you can search
for specific titles through our catalog. But
you also might enjoy browsing through the
digital collections online. It’s easy to link to at
deerfieldlibrary.org/movies.
Roku
The Roku provides one of the simplest ways
to stream entertainment to your TV. DPL
patrons can access popular TV shows and
movies from Netflix, Hulu, Acorn, and Disney+, and view our digital collection of over
500 movies through the Vudu app.
The Roku comes with simple setup instructions, and you can also watch the “Get Started”
video at deerfieldlibrary.org/roku.
Convert your 8mm, VHS to digital
We offer equipment for converting various
types of media into digital files (video, audio,
and photos). Even better, our staff will help
you get started. Equipment includes:
n
8mm and Super 8 film
n
Audio cassettes
n
Non-copyrighted CD / DVD
n
Film (35mm strips, mounted slides,
and medium format strips)
n
Photographs up to 8.5” × 11.7”
n
VHS tapes
n
Vinyl records
We can also convert video from various types
of video cameras.
DPL Patron Jeanne Schlax has been utilizing
the MakerSpace to digitize her collection of
80+ 8mm home movies. “We have footage
going back to the 1950s. It’s important to
convert the films before they fade and get too
brittle,” said Jeanne. “The library staff has been
very helpful training on the equipment, and I
learn more each visit. This gives me peace of
mind that our family stories can continue to
be shared for generations to come.”

Holiday Used Book Sale
Saturday, November 20
10:00am – 3:00pm • Library Lower Level
Join us for a fun shopping day with some super bargains!
We will have a wide selection of cookbooks, children’s books,
audio books, coffee table books, and much more!
• Gifts from the Friends: Our fundraising enables us to make
donations that support Library programs and facilities, like our recent
gift of a laser engraver for the MakerSpace. We are currently raising
funds for the new Browsing Bins in Youth Services. Stay tuned for
more projects to come!
• Thank you: As always, we owe a big thank you to our shelving
volunteers for all their hard work sorting, organizing and keeping our
book store shelves full for our patrons. Their dedication is what makes
our sale corner so inviting. One of our veteran volunteers has made a
weekly trip to bring books to commuters at the train station for over
10 years, and our thanks go to him as well.
• Friends’ Book Store: The Store is stocked with children’s books, cookbooks, travel books, reference works and fiction. These used books are
in excellent condition and make great gifts year round. We are proud
that 98% of our sales go directly to support programs at the Library.
• Meetings: Our next meeting is scheduled for Monday, January
24, 7:00 p.m., in the Library lower level meeting rooms. Visitors are
always welcome.
For more information, visit our website, deerfieldlibrary.org/friendsof-the-library. Also, check for updates on our Facebook page.
