�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

DPL Named One of the Nation’s Star Libraries
Deerfield Public Library has received recognition as one of America’s Star Libraries for 2022,
as announced by Library Journal. This is Deerfield’s
first time receiving this recognition, and one of
only 258 public libraries nationwide.
For Deerfield’s first inclusion as a Star Library, we
received four stars. Ratings are assigned three, four,
or five stars, based on use of library services and
resources, including in-person visits, items checked
out (physical and digital), program attendance,
library website visits, wi-fi sessions, and use of
electronic resources.
We are proud to serve our community with distinction, and thank you for your support!

Deerfield Public Library
Spring 2022 | deerfieldlibrary.org
of DPL
Details on Page 2
�From the Director
This edition of Browsing is all about the
hidden gems of DPL. One hidden gem that
many people might not be familiar with is
the fiscally-minded Board of Trustees, who
are elected to rotating open positions every
two years in local elections. The Board of
Trustees serves a very important purpose.
They’re responsible for setting policies for
the Library to execute. In addition, they are
the fiscal stewards of property taxes collected for the Library.
The Library is over 97% supported by property taxes. The Library
Board takes their responsibility very seriously, carrying out the
Library’s mission in the most fiscally prudent manner possible.
This past year, the Board actively examined the Library’s finances
and funding levels. In 2022, the Library levy will be $46,881
less than 2021 due to refunding and reissuing our debt service
bonds. The bond refinance savings of $458,338 over the next
10 years will start in 2022. We worked with the Village of
Deerfield to refinance the general obligation bonds from our
building renovation project in 2013.
I’m grateful for the good stewardship of both the Library Board
and the Village of Deerfield. This is how libraries thrive.
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director
The Library is full of treasures, some “hidden,” some right out in the
open. Some are things you can hold, and some live only in the digital
realm. A few treasures are new resources, and others have been
around for years. Library staff regularly surprise patrons
with info about DPL treasures. Here are some staff favorites!
