Saying Farewell
Back on June 16, 2006, the Deerfield Public Library Board was
pleased to announce Mary Pergander as our next Library Director.
Now, with Mary retiring after nine years of exemplary service to
our community, we thank her wholeheartedly. Perhaps her biggest
accomplishment was her outstanding leadership in bringing us our
new Library. This process alone required innumerable decisions by
Mary while she continued to run the Library with virtually no service
interruption. Our new Library would not be standing as it is today
without Mary’s vision and leadership.
Mary also strove to make the Library patron experience as
user-friendly as possible. A vibrant website, drop boxes, the hold
shelves, a caf area, self-checkout & return, more and more
programming for all ages (including at off-site locations), an
explosion of e-materials, extended loan times, outreach to our
schools.. .Mary continually examined our processes and improved
them. With these projects, we often heard the words the Board
loved to hear - “On time and on (or under) budget”.
As we prepare to bid Mary a very fond farewell, we hope you’ll join
us at her open house going-away celebration. On behalf of the entire
DPL community, Mary, we gratefully say thank you and wish you all
the best.

Message from the Director
It’s the little things...
Can you guess the patron
comment I receive most
often? It is the request
for drive-up book drops
outside the Library. In
writing, via phone, or
email, even at social or
business gatherings, someone always mentions
this highly desired convenience. Well, our
Library Trustees and staff members have heard
this request loud and clear, and found a way to
provide it. By the time you read this, there
should be two drive-up drop boxes near the front
entrance to the Library—one for books, and one
for all types of audio-visual materials. I look
forward to receiving your comments about them!
We continue to listen. Our Board members
are going to be available in our lobby and other
public places such as the Farmers Market from
time to time. We hope you’ll stop by and
say hello.
We soon will be holding public sessions to
solicit your feedback about the findings of the
space needs and architectural review of our
building. This will be the opportunity for
residents across the community to have a
voice in the future plans for the Library. Please
consider participating.
We know it takes time to turn dreams and
ideas into reality, so we continue to test ideas
and learn from them. One example is the Teen
area we are creating, adjacent to the
Multimedia collections. We will use what we
learn there to plan even better spaces and
services for teens in the future.
Here is one thing you won’t have long to
wait for—at the end of the summer we will
launch our new automation system. More about
its features and conveniences are detailed in
this edition. We think you’ll be amazed! Our
staff members will help you test-drive the
system at the Library or from home, so you can
make full use of its features.
We are constantly looking for ways to serve
you better. We hope you believe we are
succeeding.
New Library Catalog Helps You Find Your Way!
Find everything you need in the Library’s new
online catalog of books, movies, magazine
articles, and more. The new catalog “goes live”
on August 18. Whether you are in the Library or
surfing from home, you can er\joy this fast, easy
resource on any computer at any time.
The new catalog looks and acts much like what
you find on your favorite retail sites. You can
see book covers and reviews, ei\joy one-click
searching of other area libraries, and sign up to
receive alerts when new items of interest arrive
at the Library. We want to reward your explor
ing. Beginning August 18 you can use your Deerfield Public Library card to
enter an online drawing for a GPS navigation system. If you haven’t used your
Library card in a while, you may need to re-register at our Circulation desk.
Please bring one piece of identification with your current address and we’ll be
happy to update your account.
In order to successfully move from one catalog to another, the Library will be
closed all day Sunday, August 16 and Monday, August 17. Please do not return
materials between Thursday, August 13 and Thursday, August 20. Loan periods
will be extended on all items that would normally be due during that week.
Architectural Review Progress Report
The Deerfield Public Library Board has engaged PSA-Dewberry, an
architectural and engineering firm, to evaluate our current Library and
report the findings to the board and community. The process includes:
• assessing the current building structure and systems,
• conversing (focus groups) with representative members of the community,
staff, and board about perceived current and future needs,
• evaluating space needs and trends in libraries, and
• comparing our library building, staffing, circulation and other key
measurements with peer libraries serving similarly sized populations.
A preliminary report of the building found that the structure appears solid,
although the building systems need significant upgrades or replacement. In
addition, building codes have changed since the 1970s when the current
Library was built. The architects expect to finish the current space needs
assessment and report to the board, staff, and community by summer. We
plan to hold public sessions to review the architects’ findings and recommen
dations, and to solicit your feedback. Afterward, the Library Board will
determine any next steps that may take place.

continued from paget
and sponsored outings and tours. Not
to be confused with today’s “outings". A
1914 AAA tour guide told how to drive
to Deerfield so you could lunch at
Deerspring Farm. Cross country events
and racing advanced technology and
cars grew into reliable transportation.
Roads lagged behind, but by the twen
ties and thirties the Lincoln Highway and
Route 66 spanned the nation.
Eisenhower’s national defense high
ways finally tied the country together
and were the catalyst for growth of au
tomobile travel as we know it today.
These highways are probably the most
influential agents of social change that
this country has ever seen.They allowed
for, encouraged, and fostered the growth
of the suburbs; changed the way we
relate to one another, changed where
and how we could work, whom we would
marry, where we would shop,where our
children would be educated, where and
how we vacation , how we live.
As the use of cars expanded, re-ex
panded, and became the most common
form of daily transportation it was only a
short time before they became the stan
dard way to get to work, and the daily
commute became a part of everyone's life.
In the suburbs the station wagon-now
vans and sport utilities-became Mom’s
rite of passage. The use of cars brought
with it the necessary rules and regulations
to make their operation safe and effec
tive. Unregulated roads were chaos:rules
brought order, discipline and safety.
Safety. That is the word behind ev
ery single traffic rule that exists. Disobey
the rules, and crash into another car.
Run a stop light, and run down another
human being. Speed, and kill the child
as she runs for her puppy. It was really
just common sense, over time, that led
to all the traffic laws and regulations that
govern us today. What I see on my daily
one mile trek to the Library disavows all
of this. What I see is a growing chaos; a
daily reduction in safety, civility, and
courtesy. Safety: safety is the biggest
loss. I don’t want to hear that this is a
police problem. Our police do a fine job,
this is a social/behavioral breakdown of
large proportions.
Daily, I am treated to a Mom in a
mastodon sport utility running a stop
sign, not even really slowing down. Just
check for a police car, and gun it through
the intersection. I see a Dad on his way
to the train failing to yield-right-of-way
to school children walking to their bus
stop. Cars of every variety speed
through my residential neighborhood as
if they were competing in the Indy 500.
I see almost everyone turning without
using their turn signals-both an element
of safety and courtesy. I see the same
cars park in our handicapped and no
parking zones as the drivers run to do
their errands-thumbing their noses at
the purpose of those special zones. As
they leave, they back into parked cars,
eyeball the crumpled fender and drive
off. This transcends rudeness into crimi
nality. It accelerates on the expressway.
Of course, you see all the failures above,
only at higher speeds; no turn lights, fail
ure to yield right-of- way, and speeding.
Worse, you see tailgating, weaving in
the lanes, passing when inappropriate,
driving on the shoulder to get ahead of
a line of backed up traffic. You see ag
gression, hostility and anger. You see

people’s heads buried in car phones oblivi
ous of what is happening around or in front
of them. Some of the behavior seems to
be related to the size and power of today’s
sport utility mastodons, some of it to an
inner rage that is almost sociopathic. Not
being a car designer, or a psychiatrist, I
don’t have an answer to either of these
problems. Personally, I believe this behav
ior to be related to modern society’s ano
nymity and social disconnectedness, but
it is mainly just selfish rudeness.
What we are losing is a sense of
safety, because we are absolutely see
ing unsafe driving, plus a loss of civility,
and courtesy. Decency behind the wheel
seems to have evaporated. I guess I
would ask myself how I would like to run
down and kill a small child while speed
ing, cripple or maim an elderly driver
through aggressive tailgating, or ruin a
young person’s future before he or she
even get their life started. I think we
should start looking to ourselves if we
want these antisocial behaviors to stop.
If we don’t take responsibility, I can’t
imagine how bad driving conditions will
be in ten years. The book I am -recom
mending this month, before it is too late
for you, is Illinois Rules of the Road. Al
ways a good read, drop by and read one
at the Library.
Or, ignore the book and get exposed to
it in mandatory traffic safety classes after
you get your big ticket. Orville Freeman,
former Governor of Minnesota, had a great
phrase about driving--”lt’s not a right, it is a
privilege”. And there aren’t any excuses.
