What’s the best way to receive DPL updates?
Subscribe to our e-news at deerfieldlibrary.org/newsletters
�From the Director
In 2020, DPL had the opportunity to
introduce some new services. Curbside
service was one of the best things that
came from 2020! In a very short time, we
had over 10,000 items checked out and
picked up using this brand new service.
Our resourceful staff continue to provide
this service, alternating with when the
building is open for browsing. If you
haven’t experienced curbside, you can find more information
at deerfieldlibrary.org/curbside-pickup.
Staff also learned that with modern technology, we can
work with patrons remotely to complete simple tasks such
as renewing library cards or even issuing new cards. Once a
patron completes the online form, a Patron Services staff
member will call to set up a virtual appointment. After the
process is complete, we can provide the card number for
immediate use of our electronic resources, and the physical
card is sent out via the mail. Find details and the application
form at deerfieldlibrary.org/patron-registration.
The pandemic left many people feeling isolated and
disconnected, and many senior citizens and persons with
disabilities lost critical social and educational lifelines. With
that in mind, soon after closing in 2020, we began offering
the Library Lifeline service for free one-on-ones and checkins. These are provided via phone, email, or a virtual platform.
We average about 20-25 monthly appointments, and plan to
continue this popular service. Read more about the Library
Lifeline at deerfieldlibrary.org/accessibility.
Finally, we saw a huge increase in program attendance. We
always knew that the community loved our programs and this
past year has affirmed that. Our staff learned quickly how to
offer virtual programs for patrons of all ages. In 2020, nearly
100,000 people attended a program either live online or
watched a pre-recorded program.
We continue to move forward and look forward to continuing
to serve our community.
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director

�Discover Deerfield: Local History Tours
If “staycation” travel looks to be your focus for summer 2021, let the Deerfield Public
Library serve as your travel guide. The Library-curated tours, which cover Deerfield
from its founding days to the present, can all be accessed on the Library’s website at
deerfieldlibrary.org/localtours. Guide maps and tour information also available
at the Library (lower level).
Deerfield Public Art Audio and Virtual Tours
Our guided walking tour explores the
sculptures and paintings publicly on display in
Deerfield. You can download the guide map,
and using along with the audio tour, take your
own self-guided tour. Allow approximately 35
minutes to complete the tour. Another tour
option is the 360 video tour, which includes a
condensed version of the audio tour, original interviews, and historic photos. Note: The art
tour was created in 2017. Updates coming soon.
Deerfield Cemetery Tour
The Library, in cooperation with the Deerfield
Cemetery Commission created two historical “inside
the gates” self-guided audio tours. The Cemetery is the
resting place of some of the first residents of Deerfield,
and is an engaging way to learn about the history of
Deerfield. The Veterans Tour includes those from every
war from the War of 1812 to Vietnam. The majority
of our veterans are from the Civil War, and all fought for the Union. Additional support for
these tours was provided by the American Legion Post 738 and the Deerfield Area Historical
Society. Please enter and exit through the front gate on Waukegan Rd.
Deerfield Train Station Tour
The historic Deerfield Road Train Station is the only building
in Deerfield on the National Register of Historic Places. But
that only came about through the vigorous advocacy of the
Deerfield Area Historical Society. Access the tour guide on the
website to find out about the building and the engaging history,
including a brief appearance in the movie, Risky Business.

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!”

Design the New Children’s Library Card!
Help us design a cool, new children’s
library card for our newly remodeled
Library. The winning design will be
used for the official children’s library
card and may also be used on library
card promotional material. The
contest is open to Deerfield
students in grades K-12. Entries
will be judged based on creativity,
design and the message communicated.
