8. LIBRARY DIRECTOR REPORT
The Library Director, Ms. Pergander, provided the following information:
a. Highlights from Director's written report
Since there are currently no Goals identified for 2015, the report focused on other activities. We are
preparing to launch two new e-newsletters, featuring programs of interest for patrons. New patron
computers have been deployed and are faster, safer, and easier to use. The annual audit is underway and
proceeding smoothly. There were 73 meeting room set-ups in March. The planned $991,000 transfer of
funds was completed. Pinterest has gone live. Our Digital Media Coordinator has received a promotion from
a former employer and will be leaving soon. Apple computers for Youth have been deployed and are quite
popular. Apple computers for adults will follow soon. We successfully completed the food drive for West
Deerfield Township food pantry. Nina Michaels, our Teen Librarian, participated in the Optimists youth
recognition ceremony by presenting certificates to teen volunteers form our teen program. The Youth and
Support Services area workspaces need additional and realigned configurations and furnishings. The
department heads and Director met with a furnishings consultant to plan these changes and obtain quotes.
The rolling chairs in the Youth study rooms have been replaced at no charge by the manufacturer because of
fabric problems. The replacement of the main electrical panel due to water damage form the summer 2014
flood has been approved by our insurance company and will take place on June 2 and 3. The Library will be
closed for those two days. A communications plan will be in place to notify community members of the
closure, and staff will be paid for the time as for snow days. There have been a number of recent DVD thefts.
This is being carefully tracked and some changes are being made to reduce risk. Judy Hoffman has
registered the Board for the July 4 parade, and red, white, and blue rubber bracelets will be the giveaways. If
the Teen volunteers join the Board in walking for the parade, we will be sure that a responsible staff
member is with them at all times until the end of the parade. Board members wear Board-logo polo shirts,
and we are buying them for the new Board members as well. Ms. Pergander also shared the new charts
about the Library collections and usage, which the Board appreciated. These were developed by Pam
Skittino. Ms. Pergander reported that a patron was recently temporarily banned for multiple violations of
the patron Behavior Policy. Because this occurred just before the Board meeting, she will bring the case next
month for further discussion, after obtaining more details.
b. Update regarding art purchases made possible by Friends' donation
The "robot" prints have been ordered, and will be matted and framed. These were made possible by the
Friends of the Deerfield Library as part of the recent Wish List pledge.
c. Update: Combination of lower level service desks and create seating area using existing furnishings
Next week we will be combining the two lower level service desks and also creating a new seating area on
the lower level. Staff members have been included in preparing for the changes, to assure role clarity. To
avoid staff injuries, we are using a moving company to move the large, heavy pieces.
d. Health insurance update for next year
The Library, Village, and Park District met about the health insurance pool and future changes due to
Obamacare. At the current time only minor pricing changes are being made, until the issues can be studied
further for implementation at the beginning of 2016.
In further discussion, Mr. Goldberg asked about the quantity of the July 4th give-a-ways. Mr. Abosch
suggested increasing the quantity by another 500-1000, to assure we have enough.
Ms. Pergander will follow-up, and added that any bracelets left over can be used at the County Fair or for
other events. Mr. Rivlin suggested using the bracelets to promote web traffic by including a mark (star?) on
a few for winners. Mr. Abosch suggested that perhaps it could be implemented at another event, such as
the Farmers Market. Ms. Pergander will look into it.

Regular Meeting Minutes
April 15, 2015
Mr. Simon asked about the new Administrative Associate. Ms. Trisha Steele explained that Ms. Mary
Holtrop, an experienced Business Manager from Sycamore Library, had recently joined the Business Office
staff and will provide about ten hours of business office assistance per week, replacing an employee who
left for a full time position elsewhere.
9. OLD BUSINESS
a. Reminder of new board member orientation on April 25, and May 20 swearing in of new Board members
Mr. Simon announced the upcoming orientation session, noting that it will start at 9:30 a.m. Mr. Goldberg,
Ms. Pergander, and Mr. Simon outlined the plans for the orientation and May 20th meeting, when the new
Board members will be sworn-in. The Farewell Event for Ms. Pergander, on May 21st, was also discussed.
b.
Update - GIVING button for donations, and related donation information
Ms. Pergander noted that the Giving Policy needs to be finalized and Mr. Simon asked that the Board be
provided a summary.
c.
Update - Recruitment of new Library Director
Mr. Abosch reviewed the progress of the new director selection process. He said that Ms. Lynn Elam has
recommended four candidates for the Board's consideration. Next Monday the Search Committee plans to
review the recommended candidates and determine who should be finalists. The Committee also plans to
consider the logistics for the next steps in the selection process, including the naming of a possible Interim
Director. Mr. Abosch also asked Ms. Pergander if there are viable candidates in-house for providing interim
coverage as there is some interest from outside.
He also outlined the importance of the candidates' interactions with staff and asked how it might be
structured to accomplish two purposes: 1) to provide interaction with staff for the candidate, and 2) to get
staff input.
Mr. Simon asked to have staff send possible interview questions that staff have to Mr. Abosch so that the
Board can consider them.
d.
Follow-up regarding automatic interior doors
Ms. Pergander outlined the steps taken to address a concern regarding automatic interior doors. She said
she had contacted the patron who originally notified the Library about the issue and informed her of the
changes made so far to the door in the Quiet Room. The patron will check the door.
Mr. Abosch reported that he has watched for how other public buildings have handled this issue, and noted
that there were no automatic doors available in a quiet room he found at the airport.
e.
Update - Replacement of main electrical switch
No information provided at this point in the meeting.
10. NEW BUSINESS
a. Letters of interest in Board officer positions for May election
Mr. Simon announced that three letters of interest have been submitted to date and that Board officers will
be elected in May, after the new members are sworn-in. Additional nominations will be possible at that
time.
b. Recommendation to purchase budgeted replacement server for Sierra System at a cost not to exceed $27,100
Ms. Pergander announced that the quote for the replacement server has been reduced to $25,725 and
added that the warranty is for three years.

Regular Meeting Minutes
April 15, 2015
MOTION: Mr. Rivlin made a motion to approve the purchase of a replacement server for the Sierra System at a
cost not to exceed $25,725 and it was seconded by Ms. Luisa Ellenbogen.
Vote: 6 yes - Ken Abosch, Luisa Ellenbogen, Michael Goldberg, Jeff Rivlin, Seth Schriftman, and Ron Simon. The
motion was approved.
Other item for discussion
Mr. Rivlin said that patrons continue to say that the Library still needs some warming elements, and that he
is particularly disappointed in the fireplace. He suggested that some modifications, such as logs, might help.
Mr. Rivlin encouraged the Board to explore new options because it was a high priority during the creation of
the Library Improvement Project.
Mr. Simon asked for additional comments and Mr. Schriftman agreed that the anticipated ambiance is
lacking, and creating more of a real fireplace appearance would help. Ms. Ellenbogen also noted that the
surrounding area is not very welcoming and is not used as often as other areas.
Mr. Simon shared a list of issues that he hopes the new Director might help the Board to address and
reviewed some of his own high priorities. He suggested that the appearance and function of the fireplace
area should be added to the list.
Additional ideas were suggested by the Board members regarding how to make the fireplace area seem
more like a reading nook, such as adding coffee table books, magazines, or the Lucky Duck collection to that
area.
Ms. Ellenbogen announced that the Staff Appreciation Event will be on April 23rd. She and Ms. Dembitz had
reviewed what was done in the previous year, which included evening shift pizzas as well as a breakfast, and
recommended that the same be provided. The logistics were discussed. The event is funded by the Board
members.
MOTION: Mr. Schriftman made a motion to move to a closed session for the purpose of reviewing prior closed
session minutes and to discuss personnel issues, as allowed by law. The motion was seconded by Ms. Ellenbogen.
Vote: 6 yes - Ken Abosch, Luisa Ellenbogen, Michael Goldberg, Jeff Rivlin, Seth Schriftman, and Ron Simon. The
motion was approved and the open session was closed at 8:25 p.m.
11. EXECUTIVE SESSIONa. Closed session minutes review and recommendation

FRIENDS LIAISON REPORT
Mr. Simon said that Ms. Elaine Haney had sent her apologies that she could not attend this evening. No report
was available.
Ms. Maureen Wener asked if a process was available to pay donations online to the Friends. Ms. Pergander
explained that a system is not currently available to accept credit card payments for payments to the Friends,
but suggested that the process may need to be re-examined.
Mr. Goldberg explained that some Board members act as the Board's liaisons to the Friends group. He invited
Ms. Wener to consider acting as one of the Board liaisons.
Mr. Abosch explained that the Friends of Deerfield Public Library is a separate legal entity and a 501-3C non
profit. The revenues for the Friends and the Library cannot be comingled.
7.
VILLAGE LIAISON REPORT
Mr. Bill Seiden provided an update on Village Board activities, including an anticipated change of the July 4th
parade route next year that may affect the Library. He also explained how the Village was responding to a
reduction in State sales tax revenues for the Village. Ms. Wener asked if the Village could reduce the Library's
funding since the State was reducing the Village's revenues. Mr. Seiden explained that the Library's revenue
source, the property tax levy, is a separate source that is not affected by Village actions.
8.
LIBRARY DIRECTOR REPORT
a. Highlights from Director's written report
Ms. Pergander shared the following highlights: This is my last monthly report for the Board. I have greatly
appreciated the opportunity to serve this community, and I appreciate all the support I have received from
the Board. All the staff members appreciated the treats provided by the board for National Library Week.
The chairs in Youth Services were replaced by the manufacturer due to fabric flaws resulting in premature
wear and splitting. Claire Steiner, Ellen Kaiser, along with other managers and staff members, successfully
combined the lower level service desks, and also created a new seating area using furnishings already in the
building. Tony Keaton and Meg Anthony are prepared for the two day electrical work, and Judy Hoffman and
others are creating an information campaign to alert the public. We have contracted for two large flower
pots for the outer front entrance, which the landscapers will fill three times seasonally per year. Members of
the management team are pitching in to support Meg as Interim, with certain redundancies of training
helping assure a smooth transition and adequate coverage of key responsibilities. Trisha Steele helped
arrange for free chair massages for staff members to celebrate National Library Week. The Park District,
Village, and Library are continuing talks to improve coordination of health care plans. There are only minor
changes in charges at this time, pending more information late fall. The audit is nearing completion. There
were 59 reservations for the large meeting rooms last month. Ellen Kaiser of Patron services received $355
of materials returned after she sent personal reminder letters last month. Six Assistants are attending
Reaching Forward. Sayaka Suzuki staffed a recruiting table at the jobs fair at Trinity University. All current
Pages were promoted to Library Aide. The Support Services department is cleaning about 30 discs per day.
Pam Skittino also oversaw the addition of Picture Books, Adult Nonfiction, and Adult Fiction as new catalog
options. We had our highest circulation ever in 2014 at 485,518. Also, Youth programming attendance has
increased from 4,761 to 13,500 in two years, while Adult similarly increased from 808 to 3201 in the same
period.
b. Thank You from staff for the wonderful staff appreciation treats
See above.
c. Loss of DVDs and Blu-rays, and action taken
In addition to the addition of the security camera mentioned above, we are reporting the losses to police,
and are taking other steps to secure the collection.

d. Server room HVAC issues
We have had very serious humidity issues in the Library and the server room, with humidity reaching over
80%. The Engineer who designed the system has been contacted and is checking the entire system design
e.
f.
g-
for areas needing attention.
Social media and staff Intranet update
There is significantly increased activity on our social media reach and engagement in just the past few weeks
after the arrival of our new Digital Media Coordinator. We are adding one security camera to the Media area
while evaluating other future additions. Tom Owen conducted a staff survey about proposed Intranet
improvements, and he is targeting the top requests by staff for the first rounds of improvements.
Update - Zingerman's customer service training half-day for staff
Ms. Pergander reviewed the nine-month history of the move to incorporate Zingerman's principles, initially
introduced by Ellen Kaiser. In April, the Library staff attended a half day session led by a Zingerman's trainer.
It was very well received by staff.
Update - GIVING button for donations, and related donation information
The proposed GIVING button has been implemented, and the button leads to a page offering the
opportunity to donate to the Friends or the Library.
Mr. Abosch asked about the uses of surveillance cameras in the Library where thefts have occurred, how they
will help when patrons can move materials anywhere in the Library, and whether there would be signage. Ms.
Pergander confirmed that signage is already posted. There was some discussion regarding other actions the
Library might take to address the loss of materials, including checking Amazon for the sale of similar items but
with missing cases, moving the collections, and increasing supervision in the areas of theft.
9.
OLD BUSINESS
a. Approval of Library Director lump sum performance-based salary adjustment
Mr. Simon said that the Board had discussed the suggested lump sum performance-based salary
adjustment previously in a closed session. He explained the timing of the annual salary adjustments and
the purpose of the proposed payment.
MOTION: Mr. Schriftman made a motion to approve the lump sum performance-based salary adjustment of
$800 to the Library Director, seconded by Mr. Abosch
Vote: 7 yes - Ken Abosch, Michael Goldberg, Howard Handler, Jean Reuther, Seth Schriftman, Ron Simon, and
Maureen Wener. The motion was approved.
b.
Recommendation to not release to the public closed minutes reviewed at the April 15 closed meeting
session
The process for releasing closed minutes was discussed. Mr. Abosch noted that a review and
reconsideration of all closed minutes is required every six months and that action must be taken only in
open session. Ms. Pergander said that the closed minutes are retained on tape, as well as in written form.
Mr. Howard Handler asked how old the closed minutes are. It was explained that some are from the mid2000's. Those that have to do with particularly sensitive personnel or lawsuit issues have been kept closed.
Mr. Simon reviewed the advice given by legal counsel, and noted that closed minutes can be opened in the
future if the Board members choose to take that action.
MOTION: Mr. Goldberg made a motion to not release to the public the closed minutes reviewed at the April 15
closed meeting session, seconded by Mr. Schriftman
Vote: 5 yes - Ken Abosch, Michael Goldberg, Jean Reuther, Seth Schriftman, and Ron Simon.

Update - Replacement of main electrical switch and Library closure on June 2 and 3
This item was covered under the Director's Report.
Farmer's Market dates (Aug. 1, Sept. 26) and assignments for Board members
Mr. Simon reviewed what usually occurs at the Village of Deerfield Farmers' Market. He said that the
primary purpose is to see the public, answer questions, and to collect input and suggestions. He explained
that staff set up the table and materials, and Board members usually man the booth between 9:00 a.m. to
noon. There are typically two Board members for each date, although more members are welcomed.
Ms. Pergander noted that staff covers two other Farmers' Market dates and representatives from the
Friends group are present on other dates too.
Ms. Reuther & Mr. Abosch volunteered to man the booth on August 1st. Ms. Wener said that she is available
for both dates. Mr. Handler and Mr. Schriftman volunteered to cover the booth on September 26th.
10. NEW BUSINESS
a. Recommendation to hire new Library Director
Mr. Simon explained the director search process and thanked Mr. Abosch for his leadership on the search
committee.
Mr. Abosch reviewed the offer letter provided and said that it had been accepted. He then reviewed some
of the experience that Ms. Amy Falasz-Peterson has as a Director, including a referendum and a
collaborative building project.
Ms. Wener asked why Ms. Falasz-Peterson is changing jobs. Mr. Abosch explained that, although she really
enjoys her current position, she is originally from this area; also there is a higher usage of the library in
Deerfield and there are other challenges and opportunities here. Mr. Simon added that Ms. FalaszPeterson was not looking for a new position when the consultant contacted her.
Mr. Abosch reviewed the basic structure of offer, including the annual salary and wage per pay period,
establishing goals, the performance-based bonus target and maximum, the Board's performance review,
and a signing bonus that can be used to assist with relocation expenses and previously established vacation
plans. He stated that other aspects of the offer are all in accordance with the Library's established
employment practices and personnel policies.
MOTION: Mr. Goldberg made a motion to approve hiring Ms. Amy Falasz-Peterson, in accordance with the
package as presented by Mr. Abosch, seconded by Mr. Schriftman
Vote: 7 yes - Ken Abosch, Michael Goldberg, Howard Handler, Jean Reuther, Seth Schriftman, Ron Simon, and
Maureen Wener. The motion was approved.
Mr. Handler asked about the process for giving notice to the public regarding the new director. Mr. Simon
outlined the planned press releases and described the other notifications to peers.

c.
Appointment of Meg Anthony as Interim Director, and defining of her authority
Mr. Simon described the process for choosing an Interim Director and the responsibilities that person will
handle. He recommended that Ms. Meg Anthony, the current Head of Youth Services, be approved as the
Interim Director.
MOTION: Mr. Goldberg made a motion to approve hiring Ms. Meg Anthony as the Interim Director, seconded
by Ms. Jean Reuther.
Vote: 7 yes - Ken Abosch, Michael Goldberg, Howard Handler, Jean Reuther, Seth Schriftman, Ron Simon, and

e.
Scheduling of Board Orientation Session - Financials
Mr. Schriftman discussed the financial review processes and board responsibilities. He encouraged all
Board members to attend. He said the session is typically a Saturday morning, between 9:30 and 11:30
a.m. Ms. Trisha Steele, Business Manager, will coordinate the date and time of the upcoming session.
f.
Banned patron review and recommendation regarding privileges
Mr. Simon reviewed the process used for banning a patron, and he also reviewed the communication
provided for a particular case. There was discussion about particular behavior that involved children, which
came to light after the original communications were made, and whether the banning process needed to
be renewed. Ms. Reuther asked Ms. Anthony, Head of Youth Services, for her input. Ms. Anthony
discussed the rise in unattended children, which makes the described behavior more troubling.
Mr. Goldberg pointed out that a ban communicates how seriously the Board takes certain behavior. He
noted that the Board needs to recognize that the patron in this case provided an immediate response, with
an apology and recognition of his actions. Mr. Goldberg asked the Board members what other specific
thing would need to happen to make a difference at a later time.
Safety concerns and the difficulty of the decision process were discussed, including how to weigh the rights
of patrons, staff, and children. Also discussed were the length of a ban, past legal advice, the reviewing
process, and the availability of information from other sources, such as the local police. The current
transition at the library and its impact on the situation was discussed. Various alternatives were aired.
MOTION: Mr. Simon made a motion to establish a three-month ban, to be lifted on September 1st, based on the
inappropriate behavior in the Quiet Room; and, that the patron be notified of the other incidents reported; the
motion was seconded by Ms. Wener.
Vote: 6 yes - Ken Abosch, Michael Goldberg, Jean Reuther, Seth Schriftman, Ron Simon, and Maureen Wener.
1 no - Howard Handler. The motion was approved.

Recommendation to approve furnishings quote for Youth Services workstations, and discuss
plans for Support Services
Ms. Anthony reviewed the proposed changes to the Youth work area. She explained the department's
staffing plan, described the process for sharing desks, and the consequences to productivity.
MOTION: Mr. Goldberg made a motion to approve the recommended furnishing changes to the Youth
Department, at a cost not to exceed $4,000. Mr. Schriftman provided a second to the motion.
Vote: 7 yes - Ken Abosch, Michael Goldberg, Howard Handler, Jean Reuther, Seth Schriftman, Ron Simon, and
Maureen Wener. The motion was approved.
h.
Update from Memorials Committee
Mr. Simon asked that this item be added to the next Board meeting's agenda. He reviewed the mission of
committee, and the need for an improved and formal policy, noting that a case-by-case basis is not
sufficient.
Processes were discussed, including how research is conducted, the involvement of staff, and the Board's
engagement. Mr. Simon said he would like to have a committee meeting scheduled with all Board
members invited.
i.
REMINDER - Art Festival Preview Party, May 29, 6 to 8 pm, Village Hall
Ms. Pergander reviewed the Art Festival Preview Party, explaining that it is an opportunity to network with
the other Village movers and shakers. Mr. Abosch noted that spouses can be included but that attendance
does require an RSVP.
11. OTHER DISCUSSION ITEMS
a.
Mr. Schriftman asked about the protocol for Board member email addresses, noting that one member has
an email address at deerfieldlibrary.org. Mr. Handler said that using this email address will help to avoid
FOIA request complications, but Ms. Pergander explained that a FOIA request could be placed for all Board
member emails regardless of the email address. Ms. Wener said providing board email addresses
@deerfieldlibrary.org seems like a good idea and it was suggested that the idea be placed on next
meeting's agenda.
b.
Mr. Abosch inquired how closed session minutes can be approved without releasing them. Ms. Pergander
said that the minute dates can be placed on the next agenda.
12. EXECUTIVE SESSION
No executive session held.

At 10:36, there being no further business, Mr. Goldberg made a motion to adjourn, seconded by Mr.

Browsing
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!
