What three words would you use to describe your
ideal library experience? Our Board and staff
members will be asking you that over the coming
months, as we continue to refine and enhance your
library experience, both in the physical library and
the virtual version.
U
*

I DIDN’T KNOW THAT!
We asked staff to give us the inside track on some possibly
under-the-radar services and resources.
Are you among those downloading 2,000 e-books each
month from the Libraiy? Is your club or organization
using one of our free meeting room spaces? Have you
had a favorite book signed by a visiting author? Are
you playing Minecraft with friends at the Libraiy? Did
you help provide for the food pantiy or the animal
shelter through our donation days?
Melissa S., Adult Sendees: “The Library has two
notaries on staff and offers notary services free
of charge. As notary needs vary - some are
quick and easy, while some require more time
and paperwork —we encourage patrons to call
ahead to make an appointment, and speak to
the notary to make sure you have all the items
needed to moveforward with the process. ”
Is your Library card now accessed through an app on
your smartphone, rather than plastic in your wallet?
Do you follow our blogs online? Have you been to one
of our Pinterest classes? Are you enjoying local
attractions with a Museum Adventure Pass?
Kary H., Youth Services: “One of ourfavorite
days in the Youth Department is when a young
child gets his/her very own library card! You
may not know that library cards are available
to children ages 5 and older. We like to make a
big deal about it, so be sure to stop by the Youth
Services desk and let your child show us
his/her new card!"
Yes, books are what we are known for, AND we are so
much more! Come explore us today - and let us WOW
you.
Mary Pergander
Library Director
Vicki K., Patron Services: “Patrons often ask us
where they can register to vote, and are thrilled
to learn they can do so right at the library.
During most hours we are open, there is a staff
member available to register voters. All you need
to bring are twoforms ofID, one with your
current address. FYI, as ofJuly 1, 2014, Illinois
residents have the option to register to vote online at
https://ova.elections.il.gov ”
Our remodeled and renovated library is just over a year
old, and we thank all of you again for your support
with our project. Now that we have settled in to our
new space, we are looking ahead to keep improving
our service to the community.
We’ve appreciated your feedback over the past year
and hopefully you’ve noticed improvements both in the
building and on our website. As the Board and Library
staff begin re-examining our mission and vision, know
that we strive to bring you an outstanding collection,
led by an outstanding staff, in a space where you
enjoy spending part of your day.

�New Tech @ Your Library
Library Tech Classes
Lead to Discovery
When attorney Eugene Stahnke retired from
practice, he got right to work ramping up his
computer skills. Over the past year, Eugene has
taken more than a dozen technology classes offered
by the Libraiy, and has advanced from “101” level to
fluency with a wide range of digital activities. We
asked Eugene to share some thoughts about his
learning experience.
Visit us at deerfieldlibrarv.org
Instruction Librarian Jenn Hovanec
has led many ofthe technology classes
attended by Eugene Stahnke
Q. What was your motivation to take the Library's technology classes?
A. During my years as an attorney, the division of labor always had someone else handling
the computer-related tasks. As a result, I had little detailed knowledge of the computer
and the Web. I got tired of asking for help, and relying on others for even the simplest
of activities, such as email.
Meet Your New Website
The Library’s refresh continues
with a spiffy new website design.
It features friendly navigation,
optimized mobile browsing, and
fresh insights from expert Library
staff. Enjoy the tour!
Q. Why would you recommend the Library's classes?
A. For starters, you have expert trainers, and at no cost. The classes are extremely well
organized, and the librarians leading the classes are excellent communicators. The
hands-on training, with the instructor right in front of you, is invaluable. They provide
excellent handouts, and are always available for questions if you get stuck up the road.
Q. How have you been using your new skills?
A. Where to start? Email, of course, and basic word processing. I’ve also enjoyed learning
how to truly mine gold from the library’s catalog, including tracking down books and
articles for my many interests and hobbies. One class introduced a number of
important free online resources, including Consumer Reports. I also learned about the
Goodreads website, which has become a favorite for tracking my reading, and sharing
with a world-wide online community of readers.
Q. Have you had any unexpected outcomes?
A. I never expected to own a tablet and a smartphone, and to be actively using them.
Diking photos with the smartphone is worlds beyond what I eked out on my old
cellphone. The Library’s classes have helped guide the whole experience from
purchasing to organizing photos and sharing them online.
Game on at Teen PS4
Station!
Teens, next time you need a break
from studying or just to relax, try
the new Teen Gaming Station.
Located in the Teen Space, the
game station has a brand new
PlayStation 4 with pre-loaded
games, wireless controllers, and
headphones. Current available
games include: Fifa 14, Madden 25,
Lego Marvel Superheroes, and Need
for Speed Rivals. Stop at the Media
Desk to check out the
controllers and headsets.
10
Q. What recommendations do you have tor getting started?
A. After class, be sure to use the handout and continue to reinforce what you learned in
class. It’s not that time-consuming, and repetition makes all the difference. If you don’t
have a computer at home, there are many hours of open access to the computers in the
Library’s lab. If you are interested in purchasing a computer, I highly recommend “How
to Buy a Computer” on November 19. Also, don’t be nervous about being in the class.
The shared experience proved to be very beneficial.

Easier than ever!
Have you had an opportunity to get cozy with a
book in one of the new easy chairs in the library?
The addition of more comfy chairs is in response
to requests received from many community
members since the Grand Reopening last
summer. Here are other examples of our
continuing commitment to listening, and making
your Library experience easier:
You asked for a more convenient library card
option. It’s here! If you have a smartphone,
you can load your card into a convenient
app, and leave the card at home.
Did you know that ALL locations in the
Library are Wi-Fi Hot Spots? And you can
print right from your device as well.
Laptop lending is now available! Deerfield
cardholders can borrow a laptop for
in-Library use.
All programs and meeting room events are
now shown on the online calendar. So
whether you are coming for a Library
program, or for your club or homeowner
association meeting, you can easily confirm
the date, time, and location from anywhere,
at any time.
Check on page 11 for more information on
these fabulous new services that will
streamline your library experience.
We aren’t done yet! We are still working to make
the Library cozier, and add the finishing touches
that will make it feel more warm and welcoming.
Changes being considered include artwork,
plants, footrests, more soft seating, and accent
lighting. Watch for these continuing
improvements throughout the year. Pay us
a visit soon.

Helping our Neighbors
Next time you drop in the Library, consider dropping off some items for the
West Deerfield Township Food Pantry. Every little bit helps, as the Pantry
relies entirely on contributions to meet the year-round high demand for
basic foodstuffs, household cleaning items, and personal hygiene products
that the Pantry provides free of charge.
The Food Pantry serves over 250 township residents each month who find
themselves in need, either on a long-term or temporary basis. Many are
seniors who live on fixed incomes, while others are families with children.
Starting March 1, you can drop off your donations in the Libraiy’s lobby
(no glass, please).
Food Pantry Wish List:
• Canned protein (tuna, chicken,
salmon, beans)
• Side dish mixes (rice, potato,
pasta)
• Toilet paper
• Paper towels
• Juice
• Canned fruit
• Soup
• Peanut butter
• Laundry detergent (small size)
The Library food drive will run from March 1 through March 23. Your
donations will be delivered to the Pantry, where bags of food and personal
items, as available, are ready for pick up on the first or third Thursday of
each month. Anyone with an urgent need for assistance, however, may call
or visit the Township office any business day.
WELCOME OUR NEW BOARD MEMBERS
The Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees recently completed
the selection process, and appointed two new members
to fill open seats on the Board. Luisa Ellenbogen and
Seth Schriftman will serve until the next election in 2015.

Tuesday, March 4, 7:00pm @ Whole Foods Market
Deerfield I Adults 21 years and older
In 1985, at a heated auction by
Christie’s of London, a 1787
bottle of Chateau Lafite
Bordeaux, unearthed from a
bricked-up Paris cellar and
supposedly owned by Thomas
Jefferson, went for $156,000 to
a member of the Forbes family.
But rumors about the bottle
soon arose. Why wouldn’t the
seller reveal the exact location where it had been
found? Was it part of a smuggled Nazi hoard? Did
his reticence conceal a dark secret? Join us to
discuss this real-life mystery, followed by a wine
and cheese tasting presented by Whole Foods
Market, 760 Waukegan Road, Deerfield. Sign up
early - space is limited. ID
