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.

Looking back
moving forward
•
•
Deerfield Public Library started the year full
of anticipation about moving to a temporary
site (not even identified until February!) and
getting our building project underway on
time. Although we are in a temporary
location, people have definitely found us!
Total check-outs for all types of materials are
in line with the growth we’ve experienced
these past two years—and we circulate about
490,000 items a year. Free downloads of
Libraiy e-books first doubled, then tripled
during that time! Due to our space
limitations, we are offering fewer programs
than usual, but staples like book discussion
groups for adults and storytimes for children
are in full swing. All in all, community
members are using the Library —including
our expanded online services—as much
as ever.
One of the statistics we don’t like to see
rising is the number of unattended children.
Libraries are public places, and it is safest
(and required) for all children under the age
of nine to be in the direct care of a
responsible adult at all times. We increasingly
find children as young as 18 months
wandering alone, without an adult. This now
happens up to 40 times a month, up from a
low of sue times per month! If you have, or
care for, young children at the Library,
please keep them with you at all times.
Overall, 2012 has been a very successful year
for us, and we deeply appreciate your support
through it all. We look forward to
presenting you with the remodeled,
expanded, and fully stocked Library in
June of 2013. Until then, you can find us at
our temporaiy location and online. We hope
to have the pleasure of serving you veiy soon.

“I didn’t
know that!”
We asked staff to give us the inside track on some frequently over-looked and
under-used Libraiy resources. You may be surprised!
Y\ Kay P., Adult Services: “Ifyou’re lookingfor good
, V recommendations for books, DVDs, and CDs, simply
type 'Staff Picks’ into the Library’s catalog. Click on a
fwL\ mie, scroll down to 'Community Reviews’ and read
Vmk
why this selection made the list. ”
Claudette O., Patron Services:
“Patrons often ask us if we have a
record of the books they’ve read. While the
Library doesn’t keep any records of material that has
been checked out and returned, there is a feature under
'My Account ’ on our website that does give the patron
an option to save their own history. Just log in, click
on the 'My Reading History’ icon and 'opt in’ to the
history option. The history beginsfrom the date the patron opts in,
but should keep the ‘Have I read this one?’ down to a minimum in
thefuture!”

�Library Infrastructure
Needs Major Repair
Introduction to the Deerfield
Public Library Long-Range Plan
From Ron Simon, chair of the Long-Range
Planning Committee
i
he board, Library administration and staff have all participated in artic
ulating what follows. We have asked for your input through pencil and
paper, meeting you in the Library lobby, or chatting across backyard
fences. We believe we know what you’d like the Deerfield Public Library to be.
We are now beginning an exciting time at the Library. We have to take all
these thoughts, discussions, ideas and plans and begin to implement them.
Soon we will begin looking for other volunteers to assist us in bringing to
Deerfield the best library we possibly can. I hope you will consider joining us!
We always welcome your feedback, suggestions and thoughts. Please email
any board member (see our email addresses on the back of the newsletter) or
drop a note in the suggestion box at the Circulation desk. I look forward to
more conversations down the road.
Despite renovations completed almost ten years
ago, our aging infrastructure, now 35 years old, is in
need of major replacements. The Library has
engaged the engineering firm of Brian Berg and
Associates to assess the specific needs and costs to
repair our aging building.
The assessment will include cost estimates,
prioritizing and a timetable for upgrades to the roof,
air conditioning system, air handlers, electrical
service, plumbing and service elevators, all required
to maintain this building. The Library is open 69
hours a week, serves close to 1000 people per day
and tries to provide a safe and healthy environment
for patrons, staff and a collection 186,000 items.
Previous work on the infrastructure maximized
use of available space and also included replacement
of the boiler system, plumbing and heat/air controls
and hydraulic cylinders on elevators.
Following the assessment, the board and Library
administrators will study the recommendations and
proceed with repairs and replacements. Exact costs
are unknown at this time but could be substantial.
DEERFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY

mation and ideas, encouraging lifelong learning and personal growth in a wel

We are proud and pleased that the
Pioneer Press Deerfield Review fea
tured the Deerfield Public Library’s
70th anniversary in the January 9
issue. They wrote “The Deerfield Li
brary has truly been a pillar of the
community. Although not the
North Shores largest in size or vol
ume, it easily ranks with the best in
performance. Hicks and the elected
board of trustees have made the
most of every resource.”
And while we are “tooting our
own horn”, next time you see Jack
Hicks, congratulate him on “mov
ing the library steadily forward for
25 years”!!

America has always been defined by three ideas:
equality, opportunity and fair play. To a great degree
those ideas set us apart from the rest of the world,
especially our emphasis on fair play. In the past twenty
years or so even the most optimistic of us would agree
that meanness has crept in to replace fair play and

plenty of them to worship. Without the Soviets to loathe
we have turned against each other.
It is not hard to single out the factors that divided
us over the past thirty years: a Vietnam that hasn’t
gone away for too many; the assassinations of JFK,
Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King, the riots that
followed, the Democratic convention of 1968,
Watergate: the list is long. All of that was a dark pe
riod in our history; it was not the age of aquarius at all.
It was an age of betrayal and loss of innocence and
marked the beginning of the loss of national purpose.
Contined on page 2
�rian'i
continued from paget
The pain and rancor of all of that divided
us as a country. I remember Nixon’s cam
paign slogan of 1968: "Bring us together."
What irony. Today we are polarized by race,
economics, politics, religion, and an emerg
ing class system. All this in an era of great
well-being.
We are bombarded daily with negative
information about our political process and
our elected officials. Not a day goes by with
out a new scandal, wasted millions, and a
partisan Congress. As a society we have
become inured to the outrage we all once
felt. We accept rhetoric for ideas, sound bites
for knowledge, and low level political tricks
for leadership. Worst of all we allow simple
minded ideas to be passed around as legiti
mate thought. The one idea I am going to
examine is the cheap-shot of term limits
which is bandied about from all sides as an
instant cure for our political ills.
The Congress enacted presidential term
limits back in the early 1950’s as a reaction
against the four terms served by President
Roosevelt. It sounded like a good idea, and
it apparently looked good enough for legis
lators to enact it into law. But I would sug
gest it was short sighted, mean spirited, and
contributed to the litany of divisive forces that
I listed above. I don’t know if anyone was
paying attention, but all elective offices have
built-in term limits; they’re called elections.
It is easy to speculate that if Dwight
Eisenhower had been allowed to run for
president in 1960, none of the traumatic
things listed above would have even hap
pened.
Don’t scoff. Ike had great acceptance and
performance ratings from the American pub
lic; he had really mastered the job by 1960
and was widely respected. He also told us
two things that were ignored when he left
office: beware of the military-industrial com
plex and avoid a land war in Asia at all costs.
So it follows logically that there would have
been no Vietnam, no assassinations, no ri
ots, no Watergate, no deficit, and no disillu
sionment. The ideas of equality, opportunity
and fair play were ignored. We threw a great
president out of office. By accepting cheap
rhetoric without examining the conse
quences we reaped a whirlwind we pay for
everyday, with no end in sight.
The books I am recommending this
month are negative choices, but very reveal
ing of our political process. Both have been
on the best seller list; one is a badly written
book with a dubious premise and odd con
clusions, the other a well written book cov
ering an unsavory series of incidents. If you
harbor thoughts that Robert Bork should be
a Supreme Court Justice, read his Slouch
ing Toward Gomorrah and if you think Bill
and Hillary rule with clean hands, read
James B. 9tewart’s Blood Sport.

A Message From Judy Haddad,
Director of Youth Services
I recently returned from a month long sojourn
in Israel. I came back to America gladly and
gratefully. You might be thinking I was happy
to be back because I missed my
family or I didn’t want to be
blown up in a terrorist attack.
Well, you would be wrong. •
What made me feel that we are I
|ucky t0 iive jn the United
States, especially north suburban
Illinois, is the quality of the libraries. There is
just no comparison between the quality of ma
terials and services you find in the North Sub
urban Library System libraries and anywhere
in the world. Rich or poor, big or small, the
libraries in Israel just couldn’t cut it. In many
libraries in Israel, you wont find a children’s
section at all, much less one with such a variety
of puzzles, cassettes, cd’s, computers, or even
books. However, Israel has something that
Deerfield doesn’t—warm beaches.

T

major remodeling project to in

today—in spite of our economic well being—
seems to be that wherever it is we are, is not

�Librarian's Desh (continued from page 1)
Can we project by looking back? Peering
back five years we see the fall of the Berlin
Wall and the disintegration of the Soviet
Union—monumental changes that no one ex
cept lunatics predicted. Certainly now the
challenge is to learn to live productively with
the strange, hybrid society that was spawned
and nurtured in the Soviet hothouse. This is
a major challenge not to be taken lightly—as
elemental as water, land and air. The hatreds
forged on the anvil of the Cold War must give
way if both former rival superpowers are to
regenerate themselves.
Computers and software use have qua
drupled in the past five years, with the hot
companies and monoliths alike responding to
market-driven pressures that have drastically
altered the computers and the corporate cli
mate. Correspondingly we have seen a sharp
acceleration in science and medicine.
Supercomputers, like the Cray, will lead to
profound discovery in all fields of research.
Fine. Now we have the INTERNET which has
had and will continue to have a tremendous
impact on society. Until now. computers have
just counted, sorted and analyzed data—but
with cyberspace and INTERNET we are ask
ing computers to assume the basic human
social function of communication. The great
and frightening line in Kubrick's 2001 was.
"Oh. this is so exciting" when in fact the lives
of 2001 scientists were bland as mush and
as dull as gruel. Cyberspace has the poten
tial to be more deadening than television,
more corrosive to the spirit than drugs.
Most creative ideas come from the fertile
minds of one person; real genius does not flow
from committees and focus groups. We are
now to believe that the creative process is
going to be altered by networks and shared
data. To visualize and conceive an idea is the
hard part; a committee can talk anything to
death. This is not to say I want to return to the
era of Victorian engineering—elegant drawings
and mathematics done in script by pen and
ink—but I doubt that creative thought itself is
in transition and we delude ourselves if we al
low an electronic servant to become cultural
master and destroyer. Virtual reality....what's
wrong with reality?

orty years ago in November, right after
Ike's 1952 election, my Dad put up our
Christmas tree. He was sure that my
oldest brother, fighting far away in Korea,
would be home soon and wanted the tree
there to greet him.
That tree stayed up until June of 1953. There
were so many expectations like that in
1952—with a new and trusted president
coming into office—we thought everything
was possible. Taking my tree down this
year, I was struck by those

Forty years ago that tree my Dad put up
symbolized my family's desire for peace
and tranquillity. We lived at the end of an
18 mile dirt road and you could see those
lights in our window for miles across the
snow as we came home at night. We all
wanted our favorite brother home safe,
away from deadly harm and death he faced
every day. He saw the Pusan Perimeter,
Yalu River and the frozen Chosin, and we
knew exactly what that meant. Seeing "his"
tree every day gave us great comfort.
I remember that winter of hopefulness very
clearly—and how our optimism never
faded, even as the tree shriveled. That tree
became an unsspoken magic in our house—
we wouldn't take it down because it was
somehow protecting my brother. So many
neighbors and friends had sons, who were
wounded or killed, we worried eve
