Looking back
moving forward
•
•
Deerfield Public Library started the year full
of anticipation about moving to a temporary
site (not even identified until February!) and
getting our building project underway on
time. Although we are in a temporary
location, people have definitely found us!
Total check-outs for all types of materials are
in line with the growth we’ve experienced
these past two years—and we circulate about
490,000 items a year. Free downloads of
Libraiy e-books first doubled, then tripled
during that time! Due to our space
limitations, we are offering fewer programs
than usual, but staples like book discussion
groups for adults and storytimes for children
are in full swing. All in all, community
members are using the Library —including
our expanded online services—as much
as ever.
One of the statistics we don’t like to see
rising is the number of unattended children.
Libraries are public places, and it is safest
(and required) for all children under the age
of nine to be in the direct care of a
responsible adult at all times. We increasingly
find children as young as 18 months
wandering alone, without an adult. This now
happens up to 40 times a month, up from a
low of sue times per month! If you have, or
care for, young children at the Library,
please keep them with you at all times.
Overall, 2012 has been a very successful year
for us, and we deeply appreciate your support
through it all. We look forward to
presenting you with the remodeled,
expanded, and fully stocked Library in
June of 2013. Until then, you can find us at
our temporaiy location and online. We hope
to have the pleasure of serving you veiy soon.

“I didn’t
know that!”
We asked staff to give us the inside track on some frequently over-looked and
under-used Libraiy resources. You may be surprised!
Y\ Kay P., Adult Services: “Ifyou’re lookingfor good
, V recommendations for books, DVDs, and CDs, simply
type 'Staff Picks’ into the Library’s catalog. Click on a
fwL\ mie, scroll down to 'Community Reviews’ and read
Vmk
why this selection made the list. ”
Claudette O., Patron Services:
“Patrons often ask us if we have a
record of the books they’ve read. While the
Library doesn’t keep any records of material that has
been checked out and returned, there is a feature under
'My Account ’ on our website that does give the patron
an option to save their own history. Just log in, click
on the 'My Reading History’ icon and 'opt in’ to the
history option. The history beginsfrom the date the patron opts in,
but should keep the ‘Have I read this one?’ down to a minimum in
thefuture!”

will be judged based on creativity,
design and the message communicated.

Message from the Director
We call it “the dead of winter”...
That dormant time
-when the world appears
to be asleep under the
blanket of snow.
H \1 fe* it
Experienced gardeners
know, however, that
important changes are
occurring in plants and animals, preparing
them for spring when the world will be full of
life and change.
So, too, inside the Library we are busy
planning our new automation system and
conducting preliminary discussions about
options for remodeling. Right now, there is
not much to see. Nevertheless, these early
steps are fundamental to help us launch
the new plans during the spring and
summer months.
In other areas our activities are quite
evident, even in the winter months. These
include our expanded programs and services
to children and their families, often in
coordination with local schools. Staff
members, including our new Teen Services
Librarian, regularly visit classrooms and
other student gathering places. They share
books, an activity or two, and information
about Internet safety.
Back inside the Library, we now offer
color printing and copying, for just 10 cents
per page! You can even print from your own
wireless laptop computer. Our staff members
are happy to show you all the features and
simple-to-use instructions for our new copiers
and printers. In response to your requests,
we also offer longer sessions on our desktop
computers, if other patrons are not waiting.
Even with these expanded services and
programs, we are ever mindful that BOOKS
are what draw many of you to the Library.
Come and get a fresh armful to keep you cozy
until spring is really here!

2009: Listening Is an Act
of Love ed. Dave Isay
“... Our stories—the stories of everyday people—
are as interesting and important as the celebrity
stories we’re bombarded with by the media every
minute of the day. If we take the time to listen, we’ll
find wisdom, wonder, and poetry in the lives and
stories of the people all around us.”
So begins the introduction to Listening is an Act ofLove, the 2009 selection
for Bannockburn, Deerfield, and Riverwoods’ “One Book, One Zip Code”
community reading project. The book is a collection of some of the most
meaningful of the thousands of stories collected by StoryCorps—the country’s
largest oral history project—since their founding in 2003. Many other stories
have run on National Public Radio.
At the heart of StoryCorps is the conversation between two people who are
important to each other. By helping people connect and talk about the ques
tions that matter, the stories in this book are powerful, and sometimes, even
life-changing.
This spring, along with our community partners, we are pleased to present a
series of programs that will support a continuing conversation about
Listening Is an Act ofLove and provide opportunities for readers to share
stories of their own.

name and location of your school is “personal” and shouldn’t be shared with strangers.

parents’ permission first. If a meeting is planned, make sure it is in a public place and
bring one or both parents along.
