For the Deerfield Library, the past
year has been one of renovation,
transformation and technological
change. As we position the library
for the 21st century, we renew our
commitment to reading and to pro
viding the best possible book col
lection for a community of readers.
We now have a newly restructured
space dedicated to them....The
Thomas E. Parfitt Fiction Room.
Located on the lower level of the
library, the room houses the fiction
collection of 23,331 including large
print, mysteries, and science fiction.
A Reader Services Librarian will as
sist readers in book selection.
TTOtie Z&c-cE-aut/ectt's [PDcacu
“Quiet, restful, dignified...informal but
ordered, bright accents...modified
Arts and Crafts style...with early
International Style, custom designed
furnishings.”
TTCue Space
Formerly underused space adds
37% adult public space and increases
book capacity 20%.
At the entrance, faux skylight
and mirrors provide a setting for the
Barbara Housekeeper sculpture
commissioned for 1971 library
opening. Gracing the free standing
wall, is the still life by Vilato
(a cousin of Picasso) donated to the
library in 1971 by Sara Lee.
Ceiling, with modified crown moul
ding, was raised to bring space in char
acter with the rest of the public area.
Quiet reading area is defined by
natural oak floor, dark walnut bor
der, and colorful Turkish rug. It
looks out on a lush, green garden.

time in Reference for almost 10 years. Cindy
holds her Masters
Degree in Library
Science from Uni
versity of Illinois
and was Phi Beta
Kappa as an under
graduate at Denison
University. For 11
years she worked for
Evanston Library in
positions ofcataloger,
reference librarian
and Head of Reference. She lives in Deerfield
with husband Jon and daughter Amy. Cindy
has many hobbies, but particularly enjoys the
“detective work” of tracking down answers
to challenging reference questions!

department head, has left her position to live
in another state.
Neiu Video Rules!
As we head into the winter months, you can
anticipate borrowing videos from the library
collection free of charge, exceptfor newerfea
turefilms. The library board voted to permit
Deerfield cardholders to check out older fea
ture films, childrens, travel and subject vid
eos free for two days. Overdue fines will be
fifty cents per day on these. New feature films
will still cost $ l but for only a two day check
out period and SI a day fine if overdue. It is
not possible to give an exact starting date,
since the computer system must be repro
grammed to accomodate the new loan pro
cedure. As always, you must be 18 or older
to check out videos.
The Young People's Summer Reading Club
was a “tree-mendous” success, as 801 readers
participated. 55 S’T“A"R‘ volunteers helped
librarians, and PALS were reading buddies
with young readers.
