Programs,
Projects and
Progress
A report on the year 2000,
Deerfield Library’s Year of
Renewal
During our millennium year we strived to
become a focus in our community, where ren
ovation was the word for the whole Village.
We were involved with bricks and mortar,
computers, landscaping and elevators and still
managed to add over 10,000 books, videos,
audio cassettes and... new this year DVD’s
and books on CD... and to serve all your
information needs.
Our Community where hundreds took passports
behind the scenes to view each department;
music, beanie baby prizes and food were pop
ular! The Bristol Renaissance Faire visited us
in May, taking us back to the 16th century as
Queen Elizabeth Tudor knighted the children,
townspeople picnicked on the lawn and music
and dancing provided a leisurely contrast to
our 21st century.
Programs
We held 61 adult programs, including several
co-partnered with the Deerfield Fine Arts
Commission, Deerfield Area Historical Society,
U.S. Foreign Policy Association and North
Suburban Library System. We offered income
tax assistance, flu shots, voter registration,
free July 4 lemonade, Ravinia passes, the 4th
annual Rosemary Sazonoff Creative Writing
Contest, 15 classes on using the Internet and
monthly Librarian in the Lobby, our “in person
suggestion box”.
We served Deerfield schools and students
with our annual Student Government Day,
where we learn along with our teens, and with
library instruction for junior high students.
Youth Services Reading Roundup has been a
rousing success for 2-8th graders, and
Exploring Art Through Literature workshops
are the talk of the town. Crafts and storytime
are popular Family Fun Night activities.
Library visitors from the Chinese Academy of
Sciences said, “If only we had something like
this for our children in China!”
Other projects finalized this year are lobby
and entrance remodeling to meet ADA stan
dards, rebuilding of an elevator, and rebuilding of the west garden (Youth Services area),
Cell phone use was banned to make the library
more peaceful
Progress
Plans for the future include a revamp of the
AV room to become more accessible and
attractive: new lights and proper shelving for
books on tape, videos and DVD’s
Jeff Blumenthal was appointed to the
library board to replace Yvonne Sharpe in
2000. Bill Seiden also served in 2000 as presi
dent of the North Suburban Library System. In
2001 Bill Seiden and John Anderson will leave
their Deerfield Library board positions and a
2001 spring board election will bring changes
to the makekup of the library board. We were
saddened at the death this year of Tony
Sabato who retired from the library board in
1997 after 19 years of service.
During 2000, Glenn Poch was selected Head
of Technical Service and spearheaded new
computer installation. Better equipment and
response time has brought us up to speed for
the 21st century and we shall continue to
enhance our collection, and provide valuable
service to our community.
Projects
Readers of all ages pledged to read 100
books in 2000 in our Century Readers Club. By
December, 5000 books were read and a
reception was held for those ach.ev.ng this
admirable feat. Read Around the World clubs

New Art Gift from our Friends
Artist Reception, February 17
Courtesy of the Friends of the Deerfield Public
Libraiy, a stunning mural now hangs in the central
stairwell as part of the Library’s permanent art
collection. The four-panel mural by Janet Austin,
titled “Prairie Plants”, is made of stone mosaic and
carved ceramic stoneware tiles.
The inspiration for the mural came from a project
Austin worked on with students from Deerfield
High School. In 2010, DHS students participated
in a program with the Chicago Botanic Garden by
creating an outdoor prairie garden at their school.
Austin was hired to help make identification
plaques for the plants in the garden. This led her to
make the “Prairie Plants” panels to identify many
of the native plants and show the importance of
healthy soil.
The mural first came to the Library as part of the
Village of Deerfield Public Art Program, one of 23 pieces selected for
the second year of the program. The participating artists, chosen by juiy
process, agreed to loan theirs works of art for public display for up to
one year. The Library also has on loan pieces by Deerfield artists Anne
Kleinerman, Rita Price, Linda Trytek, and Penny Weinberg.
Please join us for an open house reception on Wednesday, February 17,
4:30-5:30pm to learn more about the project from the artist, and to give
a big “thank you” to our Friends of the Library.
