�From the Director
In August 2022, the Library conducted
a community survey to see how we can
improve our services. This survey was the
first step in updating our strategic plan. We
promoted the survey on our website, social
media, newsletters and in-house. We had over
520 responses. And, I’m happy to report that
most of our survey respondents are satisfied
with the services the Library provides.
Our survey responders want more of all the things that the
Library provides. Most survey takers (42%) also visit the Library
once a week. (If you’re a regular reader of this column, you know
that I grew up visiting my local public library branch weekly, so I
appreciate that this is still a thing!)
More than 360 survey takers are interested in expanding our
Library of Things collection. An equal number is interested in
the Library having more special STEM programs as well.
We heard that people are interested in additional comfortable
seating and study areas.
In addition, survey takers want to learn more about the services
that they didn’t know we had. We are committed to effectively
promoting our resources and services, and will work creatively
to meet that need. One great way to learn more about our
services is through our twice monthly e-newsletter. It is a
quick and informative read. If you’re not yet a subscriber, sign
up today! The link is on the lower left of the front page of our
website (deerfieldlibrary.org).
This year, the Board will approve a new Strategic Plan using
some of the data from the survey. This will help our staff
continue to make DPL an even better public library. Watch our
website for more information.
As always, please feel free to reach out to me with any questions
or comments at amy@deerfieldlibrary.org.
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director
DPL Tournament of Books: 10th Season!
Was your vote one of the 17,441 votes cast in last year’s DPL Tournament of Books? Did your favorite book make it to the Championship
Round? If not, then maybe this year a new favorite will make it to the
top in what we expect to be the most exciting season ever. Yes, get
ready for the 10th anniversary season of the Tournament of Books!
If you’re new to the Tournament, last year readers voted for their
favorite picture books, early readers, graphic novels, chapter books,
juvenile fiction and non-fiction, and teen titles. Voting is open to all
ages! Voting is online at deerfieldlibrary.org/tournament-of-books,
and DPS 109 students can vote in their school library.
In celebration of the 10th season of the Tournament, we will
be introducing two new brackets: Series and Manga. The
Series bracket was a suggestion from readers and experienced
Tournament participants: Lucy Bohrer and Charlie Plocker, both
5th grade students at Wilmot.
DPL School Outreach Coordinator Kary Henry (and Tournament
coordinator) recently visited Wilmot School to get some Tournament
insights from Lucy, Charlie, and the school’s Library Information
Specialist, Andrea Lathan.
Lucy and Charlie say they really enjoy participating in the annual
event. “The Tournament gets me thinking about what genres I most
like to read,” said Lucy. One of her favorites is historical fiction. Charlie
also likes historical fiction, and is a fan of sports-themed fiction. “I
enjoy participating in the Tournament because I find out about new
titles, and end up reading books that I might otherwise not have tried
out,” said Charlie.
When the Tournament was first introduced in 2013, there were only
117 votes cast. But for the second year, DPL began a partnership with
DPS 109, and participation grew exponentially. Ms. Henry is grateful
to the schools’ Library Media Specialists: “Without their support, we
would never reach this many students and garner this many votes!”
A couple of frequently asked questions about the Tournament are:
• How are the books selected for the initial Round of 32? They are
the highest circulating books at DPL during the previous year.
• How many times can you vote? As many times as you want!
Charlie and Lucy both say they vote about five times per round,
and a few times more for books they really love. “Yes, the
competitive spirit heats up when you really love a book,” said
Ms. Lathan. “I’ve seen some students vote 20-30 times for one title!”
“When we are in line waiting to vote in the Tournament, we often
discuss the books and find out how people plan to vote,” said Lucy.
Charlie makes a point that “the discussions do not sway his vote,”
and Lucy seconded that.
With the tips from Lucy, Charlie, and Ms. Lathan in hand, get ready
and get reading for Tournament of Books 2023. Voting starts April 4.
Vote early, vote often! @ deerfieldlibrary.org/tournament-of-books

Fall, 1992
DEERFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY
Vol. 7, No. 4
Library Services At Risk
A
t a time when library use has
skyrocketed, Governor Edgar
has approved a state budget
that has cut $7.2 million in funding for
library services in 17 regional library
systems in Illinois. Deerfield Library
belongs to the North Suburban Library
System (NSLS) whose budget has been
cut by 3314%, or $900,000.
At this juncture, it is hard to quantify
how these cuts will affect Deerfield
Library. Jack Hicks, Administrative
Librarian said, "All the external sup
port services that the public has come
to count on will be restricted, or
even eliminated."
Some system services to which the
public has become accustomed are
interlibrary loan of books, Central Seri
als Service which provides free photo
copies of articles in magazines not
owned by Deerfield, System Reference
Service which acts as a backup for ref
erence questions we are unable to
answer, and the loan of audio visual
materials to supplement our collec
tion. Effective immediately, the
serials service for copies of articles
has ceased.
Deerfield and all other Illinois libraries
will face diminished services as all
library systems in the state are
affected. Fifteen staff members of the
North Suburban Library System have
lost their jobs as a result of this cut in
state funds.
Meet Library
Administrators
Better than an inanimate sugges
tion box, Jack Hicks, Administra
tive Librarian and a member of
the Board of Trustees, will be
available in person to greet you
and to address any library issue
in the library's front lobby the
first Saturday of each month
from 9 a.m. to noon.
As funds are now restricted, Sarah
Long, System Director, hopes that
creative solutions may be found to
reinstate system services.
"We simply do not know yet how
deeply these cuts will be felt by our
patrons," said Hicks, "but we will
keep our community informed."
'The reductions will be painful," said
George Ryan, Secretary of State/State
Librarian. Some fees for back-up
library services may be necessary in
Deerfield Library's future.
warn
Across the
Librarian's Desk
T
he State budget cuts discussed
in this newsletter send the omi
nous and chilling message to
librarians across Illinois that services
our residents have come to expect and
count on will be restricted or
eliminated.
Deerfield will be directly affected by
these State budget cuts since they
instantly stratify residents access to
library services into the "haves" and
the "have nots."
We are all aware of the economic and
tax problems Illinois and the USA face
in general terms, but I am going to try
to put it into real terms.
Traveling Librarians share "good reads" at the Deerfield Senior Center. From
left: Judy Hortin, Baiba Rosenkranz, Sally Margolis, Sally Seifert, Pat Palmer,
Martha Sloan. Call us if your group would like a road show.
I see libraries as such a strong exten
sion to education in this country —
cutting across age, educational, and
(Continued on p. 2)
�Librarian’s Desk
(Continued fromn p. 1
economic barriers. If we continue to
erode our educational base I wonder
how this country will ever be competi
tive again. This all has to do with will
power and priorities.
I was really disappointed when the
NASA launch of the Hubble telescope
turned out to be such a fiasco. The Hub
ble project held so much promise for dis
covery and technical advancement yet
delivered essentially nothing. The will
power was there, but the execution was
lacking.
What has this to do with libraries? Sim
ply that the squandered Hubble budget
would pay the State Library System
shortfall for 200 years. I wonder where
our priorities have gone?
Starting soon, when a young child walks
into our library and seeks help that we
routinely have offered from State assis
tance, he will be turned down. When a
businessman seeks a magazine article
we do not hold, he will go away empty
handed. When a college student needs a
reference question answered that is
beyond our scope, it will remain unan
swered. All at a time when our residents
need more, not less, from our library
services. I hope none of the children we
turn away would have been a young
Thomas Edison or Jonas Salk.
I have no crystal ball to discern a glass
darkly, but the cavalier way the Secre
tary of State slashed library service gives
me no optimism.
Libraries provide so much service and
information to so many citizens, yet we
remain the lowest taxing component of
any government — usually 2% or lower.
The politicians will discover that they
can cut all of the library money and still
not effect any real saving. And at what
cost? — shortsighted and illusory sav
ings and permanent damage to library
users in Illinois.

increase over last year, while Deerfield
population remained unchanged.

recordings; 1,098 were donations.
t 40,618 reference questions were asked
and answered.

Please don't be a "no show." If your
child is registered and cannot attend,
notify the library. If a child is absent
without notification, that child's place
will be given permanently to a child
from the waiting list.
I
Pre-school storytimes are one of a
child's first group experiences. In an 8
week session, a group identity develops
which is an important part of that expe
rience. Therefore, it is essential to fill
the group with those who are interested
in attending regularly.
Make A Present
New!!! Tot Time
Children in K-2nd grade are invited to
make "one-of-a-kind" presents in work
shops at 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Saturday,
November 21. Pre-registration required;
preference to Deerfield cardholders.
Fridays, Sept. 18, Oct. 23, Nov. 20
11 a.m. to noon. Drop in.
Summer Reading Tally
A new monthly program for tots
(infants to 2 years) and their
parents/caregivers offers a sharing,
group library experience: not a storytime format, but very short sessions of
finger games, songs, an introduction to
good books and records.
Adults in attendance should also enjoy
exchanging ideas in an informal setting.
Older pre-school siblings welcome.
For every book read in the summer Youth
Services Reading Club, children put a bean
in a jar at the front desk. By August 1, there
were 7359 beans in the jar! 305 children
received certificates for finishing their
"Discover! Read!" membership.
Two hundred joined the first Deerfield
Library Adult Summer Reading Club,
"Explore New Worlds." Members read a
minimum of 6 books, 3 in a foreign setting.
A valuable gift to the community is a read
ing list compiled from readers' suggestions.

Deerfield, IL 60015
Fall 1990
Vol 5, No. 4
/tc/1044- tfie
—The other side of Lake Wobegon—
A Death in White Bear Lake is a book
about an “All American City.” This^ is a
hard story to discuss because it deals with
a small boy savagely beaten to death by ftis
mother — a child abuser. But it is an im
portant book on several levels and for ver^
serious reasons.
The homicide took place in 1965 but
because people closed their hearts and
minds to the evil around them, the legal
system sputtered and faltered and the case
was filed away for twenty-two years. In
1987, through an unlikely series of events,
a group of everyday people did some very
extraordinary things to see that this murder
would not go unpunished.
A courageous medical examiner re
opened the files, a determined police force
^J3uilt a strong charge, and a dedicated legal
^A'stem pressed the trial to a just conclu^^ion. These brave and outraged people
remembered an innocent little boy and
demanded justice, unlike so many who did
not speak in 1965, or denied, or lied, or
intimated, or covered up.
The real question raised by this book is:
what would you or I have done? Would we
look away, harden our hearts, refuse to get
involved to protect ourselves? After twentytwo years would we still turn away? Would
we remember? Would we have the courage
to stand against evil? If not, how would we
choose to be remembered? The message is
clear — if this could happen to an “All
American City” it can happen anywhere.
If they could do it, we could do it. Inertia
and failure to act are the real unknowns;
how easy it is to be brave if you are never
put to the test.
The author, Barry Siegel, merits great
praise for outstanding reporting. This
haunting book has an amazing texture,
depth, and feel for time and place. John
Donne wrote that... “no man is an island,”
a phrase that has a special meaning to me
because the crib side doctor who saw a
^Meath by child abuse and turned aside was
community stalwart in White Bear Lake
— my home town — and the attending
physician at my father’s death.
Jack Alan Hicks
Administrative Librarian
Changes to Serve You Better, Faster • • •
The popular new books are wanted by so
many; this often means long waits for the
best sellers. We are trying to deal with this
problem by shortening loan periods for new
fiction books and by ordering more copies
faster.
Beginning Sept. 4, all new fiction books
will have one week loan periods until they
are six months old. This should provide a
faster turnaround time for the next person.
Books can be renewed by phone or in
person if they are not overdue and there
is no waiting list.
While we cannot quickly satisfy 60 re
quests for Scott Turow’s “Burden of
Proof,” we are anticipating demand for
popular authors by using a new Fast Track
ordering system. It promises speedy
delivery of multiple copies of projected best
sellers. Some of these are Belva Plain’s
“Harvest”, Dick Francis’s “Long Shot”
and Sidney Sheldon’s “Memories of
Midnight”.
All new books will stay on the NEW
BOOK SHELVES for one year — nonfic-
tion by the fireplace, fiction on the new
stacks in the Fiction/Quiet Room.
To keep the collection current, librarians
are busy with a major weeding
(housecleaning) project. Outdated and
damaged books are removed from the col
lection, and some are placed on the
ongoing “for sale” carts.
Large Print Books, Adult Basic Readers,
Short Story Collections, and Circulating
Paperbacks are now next to the new fiction.
For reading suggestions, check our new
guides to good reading. These include lists
of new Deerfield books; “Bestsellers”
which include author close ups, plot sum
maries, what the critics say, and related
must reads; Best books of ’88 & ’89, and
lists of Techno Thrillers, Traditional
Romances, Faraway Places, Pigskin Peo
ple, Spies, etc. On display are also
“Modern Fantasy: 100 Best Novels,” a
book listing the best crime and mystery
books, “Sequels: A Guide to Reading in
Series”, American Best Sellers, and other
books offering reading suggestions.
The five story Illinois State Library
building was dedicated on June 20. It faces
and is designed to be compatible with the
architecture of the 102 year old State
Capitol building. The library houses the
state’s 4.7 million volumes, and state and
federal documents. In the planning stages
for 20 years, the project became a reality
when it received $36 million as part of the
“Building Illinois” program. The library’s
resources may be borrowed by using a
library card issued by any Illinois public
library.
At the dedication of the State Library building in
Springfield, Deerfield Librarians Baiba
Rosenkranz, far left, and Sally Brickman, flank
Secretary of State/State Librarian/Gubernatorial
candidate, Jim Edgar, with Elliott Kanner, far right
(Deerfield resident & North Suburban Library
System administrator).
Please let us know • • •
We are trying to determine the need for
library outreach service in Deerfield. If
there are people who would like to have
library service but are unable or have dif
ficulty getting to the library we would like
to know. Difficulty reading? Ask about our
specialized talking books from the National
Library Service for Blind/Physically
Handicapped.

North Shore Author Eleanore Devine
Tuesday, Sept. 11, 7:30 p.m.
Reviewers heralded her “quietly shock
ing” short stories from “You’re Standing
in My Light” as ‘’remarkable because they
are tart, taut, touching, economical, ellip
tical, sharp, sensuous and sexy”. Devine
lays claim to a territory of human ex
perience few writers have explored with
such honesty, perceptiveness and vigor;
that of the aging older woman, adamant
that her life make sense, determined that
certain human values be expressed.

discuss what codependency is, how

and actions that can be taken to emerge
from this condition.

tions on night fears, sibling rivalry, creative
play, imagination, etc. and respond to
questions.
Reality of Retirement
Tuesday, October 23, 7:30 p.m.
