Deerfield Public Library
Winter 2019-20 | deerfieldlibrary.org
Check Out a Museum Today!
Details on page 2
�From the Director
The end of 2019 marks the conclusion of
our current Strategic Plan. This plan came
out of months of work in 2016. I’m so
proud of all the work the Library staff has
done to meet the goals outlined in the
plan. By the time this edition of Browsing
is delivered, the new MakerSpace will
almost be completed and ready to open
to the public. The MakerSpace project came from our
Strategic Plan. We found out that our community was
interested in more technology and hands-on programs
here at the Library. By adding the MakerSpace, we are
able to offer these new experiences. Watch our website,
deerfieldlibrary.org/makerspace for updated information
about the Grand Opening for this new space.
In the upcoming year, the Library will continue to explore and
expand our efforts to provide the community with open access
to ideas and information in a welcoming environment. We
continually evaluate our programs and services.
It’s hard to believe that we are just a few months away from
entering a new decade, and one that comes with an extremely
important initiative: Census 2020. The Library will be working
to promote and provide information about the Census. Did you
know that this is the first time in history that you will be able to
fill out your Census form online? An important role for a public
library in the Census initiative is to provide a safe place for
people to fill out the online Census form. Watch our website for
more information about the 2020 Census.
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director

�This newsletter’s focus is on the non-traditional items
that DPL has to offer. It’s an interesting idea. What is a
“non-traditional” item? According to my dad, a DVD is
something that he considers non-traditional. My dad is a
voracious reader and library user, and he uses his public
library for books.
As I reflect on my almost 20 year career as a librarian,
I remember when computers were considered nontraditional. Computers! Something so ubiquitous today
was quite the big deal when I began my career. The first
public library I worked at after library school had a
shelving range dedicated to regional Illinois phone books.
Speaking from personal experience, those were a hard
thing to shelve! We also had CD-ROMs instead of online
databases and a vertical file. A vertical file was a filing
cabinet that had folders of “current” information, as
well as things like maps. In my tenure at that library,
we got rid of the phone books and the vertical file to
add more, you guessed it, public access computers.
Public libraries have been adept at evolving and
changing to meet the needs of their individual
communities. Deerfield is no exception. In the past
year, our collection of non-traditional items has grown
considerably. As a public library, we are about meeting
our patrons’ information needs in a variety of formats.
We have learned that this can be in the form of a
Roku or a telescope or even a board game.
Check one out today!
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director
Take home a telescope (and more)!
Once upon a time... long, long ago (ok, maybe just 20 years ago), most public libraries
had only print items for check-out, plus small collections of audio and video materials.
Fast-forward to 2018, and the DPL collection has creatively expanded to provide an
enhanced experience for our community.
Siona and Eva Rajshekhar (1-r, cover) are two of the Library’s most enthusiastic
users of “non-traditional” library materials. These Wilmot students have found that
their experience with DPL’s Discoveiy Kits stimulated an interest in STEAM (Science,
Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) activities. They have continued working
in these subject areas both at camp and school. Their interest in architecture and
engineering resulted in the cool wood structure on the cover, built with DPL’s KE\A kit.
Siona and Eva report that the structure represents the future headquarters for their
business, still in the planning stages, for “spy missions or dog walking, or both!”
Come on in and learn more about all this
fun stuff. You’ll find our non-traditional
materials in the Youth or Media
departments.

fj| Please register in advance at the Library, by phone at 847-945-3311 or

In 1959, residents of Deerfield learned a housing developer planned to sell homes in the village to
black buyers as well as white buyers. Many residents opposed integration and sought to halt the
development. A smaller group, the Deerfield Citizens for Human Rights, formed in support of the
development. In the weeks that followed, Deerfield residents passed a park referendum designed to
condemn the developer’s land. The crisis in Deerfield became a national story, attracting the attention
of Martin Luther King Jr., James Baldwin, and Eleanor Roosevelt. After years of demonstrations and
legal battles, the land became parks that stand today.
Continuing a community tradition, the Library is inviting residents, historians, and experts to offer
new insights into this history. We have updated and digitized our archives, made new acquisitions and
discoveries. The Library is also partnering with Deerfield schools to enhance existing curriculum. We invite
you tojoin us for a series of discussions, lectures, exhibits and other opportunities to reflect on the 60 years
since the fight to integrate Deerfield began. Programs and exhibits run from January 21-May 2,2019.

the month. In January, we will kick off the challenge by reading a book about Illinois
