Summer 2023 | deerfieldlibrary.org
Express Yourself with a special
Summer Reading Program
Details on page 2
�From the Director
FINALLY! Summer is here. I invite you to
maximize your summer enjoyment with one
of the many amazing items in our Library of
Things (LOT) collection.
If you’re craving an outdoor movie
experience, check out a backyard movie
bundle. This was an addition to our LOT
collection during the summer of 2020 and
it was so popular! We have everything you
need to host a backyard movie party. The kit comes with a DVD
player, a blow-up screen, a blower fan, all the appropriate cords
and remote controls, and plastic stakes. Don’t forget to check
out one of our new movies too! While we don’t supply the
popcorn and candy for your backyard movie night, we have
the big stuff you need.
We have a variety of backyard games like cornhole, outdoor
Jenga, bocce ball, giant Tic-Tac-Toe, and checkers. We recently
added a very popular game, Slammo (aka Spikeball).
You’ve seen it…players have a little ball that you slam on
a small net. We also have added Yard-zee, huge dice with a
dry-erase scorecard.
Pickleball sets are available to check out for your next trip to
a Deerfield Park District pickleball court. Explore the night
skies with one of our telescopes, and learn about butterflies
and bugs with a nature kit. Finally, we have travel kits with all
the things you need to keep the kiddos entertained on your
upcoming trip.
For our friends that are spending time in the water, we have a
fishing magnet. This is a multi-use magnet that is designed for
fishing or recovering lost objects underwater. It’s a bit unusual!
Enjoy your summer! As always, please feel free to reach out to me
at amy@deerfieldlibrary.org with any questions or comments.
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director
Find Your Voice:
Join the Soundscape of Summer Readers!
Our voices have power. We use our voices to share stories, express ourselves, and spark
change. Our voices include not only the sounds we make, but the words we write, the
art we create, the movements we perform, and the actions we take each day to impact
our world. Presented with support from the Friends of the Deerfield Public Library.
Children and Teen Summer Reading Program

How it Works:
In order to participate in weekly drawings and earn prizes along the

Grand Prize Drawing:
Three winners from each age group (Birth-PreK, K-5, 6-12) will be
selected this year for the Grand Prize Drawing. Winners will receive
a gift card to the Deerfield Park District or a year-long membership
to one of the following Chicago Museums: Adler Planetarium, Art
Institute of Chicago, Field Museum, Museum of Science and Industry,
Shedd Aquarium.
National research from Dominican University finds that students
who participate in public library summer reading programs:
• Scored higher on reading achievement tests at the beginning
of the next school year than those who did not participate.
• Spent more time reading over the summer, read more
books, were well prepared for school in the fall, and read
more confidently.
• Reading even just six books over the summer will help keep
your child’s mind sharp.
Encourage the young people in your life to participate in the
Summer Reading Program!

Summer Reading Program logo.

�Staff Profiles
From your responses to our Community Survey last year, it became clear that the most valued resource
at DPL is our staff! That inspired the introduction of this new occasional feature to let you get to know a
bit more about the amazing people that work here. Enjoy!
• Currently watching: The Night Agent on Netflix, but my favorite shows are
Last Kingdom and Outlander. I always return to The Lord of the Rings film series.
• Fun fact: I have a degree in Architectural Drafting from my home country, Colombia.
One of my hobbies is making custom greeting cards out of parchment. I love dancing and
listening to music – English or Spanish – I don’t discriminate.
Patricia
• Working for DPL the past five years has been like visiting a fair, lots of fun and something new and
exciting around every corner. The staff is so friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and supportive.
Library Aide
• Currently watching: The Mandalorian, Season 3.
• Fun fact: I have a PhD in Old Testament studies from Trinity International University,
and I teach Old Testament courses part-time for Trinity and Wheaton College. I am a
native Texan, who loves the library, barbecue and football (especially the Dallas Cowboys!).
By the way, did you know that Texas used to be its own country?
• I started at DPL in 2013 as an assistant when I was a student at Trinity. Working with
the public was the perfect job to balance with my studies, and in 2018, I accepted the
promotion to my current position.
Lance
Patron Services
Assistant Manager
• Currently reading: Hell Followed With Us by Andrew Joseph White.
• Fun fact: During my free time, I enjoy doing cross stitch projects. Right now, I’m working on a
cross stitch of the beloved dog of a DPL colleague.
Sam
• I was hired in 2018 as a Library Aide, and soon after enrolled to earn my Masters in Library Science
from the University of Illinois. Now I maintain our movie, music and video game collections, as well
as the Library of Things collection. I enjoy defying the expectations of the things our community
can check out from a library!
Multimedia Librarian
• Currently watching/playing: The Last of Us
• Fun Fact: 90% of my free time is spent playing Dungeons & Dragons. My favorite class
is cleric! Also, you may see me running around town training for my next half marathon.
• I’ve been with the library for the past decade, and am excited for the next decade!
If you’ve ever had a local history question, I probably found the answer for you!
Anne
Adult Services
Assistant Manager
• Currently reading: The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien, and The Complete Works of
St. John of the Cross.
• Fun fact: I studied Near-Eastern Archaeology and enjoy going on excavations in Israel.
• My favorite thing about the library is our patrons. Life can be tough, and we work hard to meet
you where you are at, and help where we can. This can include sitting down together for one-onone tech help, and also my monthly delivery of materials for our homebound patrons.
Chase
10
Adult Services Associate
� • Currently reading: Aniana del Mar Jumps In by Jasminne Mendez.
• Fun fact: I knit and crochet, and the first knitting project I ever finished was an exact
replica of the scarf that Tom Baker wore as Doctor Who – it’s a 13 foot long scarf!
• As one of the newer staff members, I really have enjoyed my time at DPL and felt
welcomed right away. My favorite thing about my role is that I get to help with collection
development for the juvenile books and graphic novels. I joke that I still only read kids
books for my job, but really it’s my favorite age range. The only reason I met my 100 book
reading goal last year was because I read 50% graphic novels!
Emily
Youth Services
Assistant Manager
• Currently reading: an Advanced Reader Copy (pre-publication) of Lei and the Fire Goddess
by Malia Maunakea.
• Fun fact: I love creating handmade cards; last year, I sent out 100 cards!
Kary
• I’ve been doing storytimes and working with the amazing early childhood educators in Deerfield
for 15 years now! It’s also a joy to collaborate with the DPS 109 librarians and staff and do booktalks
and other programs for the students. We’re lucky to have such wonderful educators in Deerfield.
School Outreach
Coordinator
• Currently listening to: Three Feet High And Rising by De La Soul.
• Fun fact: I am a musician, and have been active in the punk music scene for almost 30 years.
• For my first decade at DPL, I worked in Adult Services and probably answered a question or
two for you at the Media desk. I also coordinated Books to Go for our homebound patrons.
I jumped over to the MakerSpace last year, and am having loads of fun with our staff and
creative visitors. Stop by and see what we are all about!
Ted
MakerSpace Manager
Visit us at Family Days! Please stop by our booth at the
Deerfield Family Days celebration on July 4 to check out all of
the ways the Friends of the Deerfield Public Library is helping to
improve the library experience for everyone. We’ll be in Jewett
Park – hope to see you there!
Consider joining the Friends! We love welcoming new
members to assist us with our primary goal – improving the
programming and offerings at our local library. The Friends have
funded a wide variety of projects, including Memory Kits, new
browsing bins in the children’s section, furniture upgrades, and
the upcoming summer reading program. None of that would be
possible without the support of our wonderful community. For
more information, visit our website.
Are your bookshelves overflowing? If so, consider donating
books in good condition to us! The Friends run Deerfield’s only
(used) book store, and it is all based on contributions from
people like you! All genres of books are accepted as well as DVDs
and video games, but we’re always especially on the lookout
for gently used cookbooks and children’s books. All of the
proceeds from our sales are directed back to library projects.
Our next meeting will be June 26 at 7:00 p.m. in the library – all
community members are welcome!
Visit our website for more information: deerfieldlibrary.org/friends-of-the-library
The Friends can be contacted at 847-945-3311 x8895 or at friends@deerfieldlibrary.org
The Friends is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit group. Contributions may be deductible under IRS regulations.

Summer Reading Logo
Competition Winner
The inspired “Find Your Voice” logo you see in this
newsletter was created by Deerfield High School artist
William Love IV. The winning design was chosen through
a competition organized for students in the Advanced and
AP Graphic Design classes. Participants met multiple times
with DPL staff, providing the students an opportunity
to learn about the Library’s summer program, discuss
their artistic vision, and receive feedback throughout the
design process. Many thanks DHS teachers Tim Bleck and
Chris Sykora for their expert guidance.

�From the Director
I’m writing this upon my return from
our first family vacation in over a year.
We have rediscovered a love for the
outdoors. During the past year, we took
advantage of the hidden gems of natural
beauty in greater Chicagoland. However,
this summer, we ventured to Rocky
Mountain National Park. I’m thrilled to
see my children’s reactions to these huge
mountains and their energetic enthusiasm to climb to the top!
We’ve spent a fair amount of time on this trip driving, and
you really get a sense of the vastly different landscape of our
country. Of course, I had to pay a visit to a local library as well.
Sure, we all serve different communities, but I’ve found in my
decades-long career that we all aim to best serve our unique
communities. During my conversation with the librarian, I was
struck by our approach to similar services. This particular library
had a Library of Things collection and they too can’t keep their
Wi-Fi hotspots on the shelf!
For this trip, I relied heavily on our Library’s Libby and Hoopla
apps. If you’re unfamiliar with these services, I can’t recommend
them enough. As a librarian, I am thrilled that my kids also love to
read. (I think if they didn’t, my “librarian” card would be revoked!)
They are thrilled with the comic book selection on Hoopla. On
this trip, access to e-books and videos was a lifesaver. It warmed
my heart to see my kiddos downloading their books to read
on the plane.
I’ve always equated fall with a new beginning. We continue to
look forward and have learned from the past year. We welcome
seeing our community inside the building, while reading and
supporting each other.
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director
Welcome Back to New and Old Favorites at DPL

All Ages
Virtual Programs: Attendance for our virtual programs was in
the thousands! While a portion of our programming will transition
back to in-person, for convenience, some programs will continue
online. Cooking programs turned out to be one of our most
popular virtual experiences. Patrons appreciated being able to
follow along with the chef in realtime in their own kitchen. From
attendee Karen Grage: “Thank you again for all of the programs
you put together for the library. I’ve used my instant pot quite a bit
and still learned things tonight. The program worked really well
over Zoom and we had a delicious dinner!...That was really fun.”
Anytime Videos:
The wide mix of videos
on our YouTube channel
includes programs
for all ages. Some are
recordings of live Zoom
programs, and others are
special programs and
activities created especially for “anytime viewing.” Magicians, crafts,
storytimes, technology instruction, and more. Check it out at:

Study Rooms & Computers: Study rooms and computers
are again available in the Youth and Adult departments. The rooms
and computers are available on a first come, first serve basis.
Curbside Pickup: When the building was fully closed, we
averaged 120 touch-free pickups a day. Curbside regular David Julis
shared: “Our family enjoyed the ease and convenience of
scheduling pick-up times throughout the day so that we could
continue to enjoy reading new and different books!” Now that the
building is fully open, the demand for this service is much lower.
But we still plan to continue the service for the foreseeable future,
and it is currently available Monday-Friday, 10 a.m -12:00 p.m.

Books to Go:
Yes, we can bring

�Welcome Back to New and Old Favorites at DPL
Library Lifeline: This service is for seniors and adults with
disabilities. These free one-on-ones and check-ins are provided
via phone, email, Skype, or Zoom. For more information contact
Vicki at vkarlovsky@deerfieldlibrary.org or leave a message at
847-580-8938.
PLACE Programs: PLACE stands for Public Library Access and
Community for Everyone. These social and educational programs
are for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, as
well as their parents and caregivers. See page 3 for details about
the monthly evenings of friendship and fun.
Youth & Teens
Read-Along Collection: This brand new collection will
include Playaway picture bookpacks,
as well as Wonderbooks and Vox
Books. These new titles combine a
traditional printed picture book with
a built-in audio recording, perfect for
kids who can’t read to themselves
yet, or for anyone who wants to
listen to a story! Each book can be replayed dozens of times
without being recharged. And don’t worry about recharging
them yourself—we’ll take care of that when it is returned.
Launchpads: A great way to keep kids engaged and learning
all year round. Each tablet comes pre-loaded with themed
educational games and activities for specific age groups. Stop
by and check them out, and feel free to ask the Youth staff for
recommendations.
Stay & Play: To support safe play, loose toys and games are
still put away. Instead, while in the library, one family group at a
(cont. from page 2)
time can use a Stay & Play box. There are many different themed
boxes with a variety of creative activities. You might want to
check out one of the boxes with kinetic sand! The boxes are kept
at the Youth Services desk, and are quarantined after every use.
Teen Book Discussions: Deerfield teens continued to be
active readers throughout the pandemic. Book group regulars
Liam and Lucas Ford shared that the move from in-person to a
virtual platform still provided a fun time and generated lots of
interesting discussions. When asked for a book recommendation
from the past year, they gave four thumbs up for Black Wings
Beating by Alex London.
DPS 109 Partnership: Literary Scavenger Hunt!
DPL School Outreach Coordinator Kary Henry partners with
DPS 109 school librarians throughout the school year on a
variety of engaging projects. During this unique school year,
one new online adventure Wilmot students (grades 3-5) got to
participate in was a literary scavenger hunt!
During the live 30 minute online hunt the rules were:
Don’t leave the house to find the object, don’t take anything
breakable, and put everything back where it belongs. After
Kary showed the cover of a book popular in their school
library, and told them the related object to find, students ran
to find a fitting example and back to the screen to share.
What did they go looking for? One example, for a book about
the Titanic, the students had to find something that could
float. One of the most surprising items presented: When the
students went in search of something that makes noise, one
student returned with his baby brother! Everyone got a laugh
out of that – even the little brother!
This is just a handful of what we have to offer. But you library lovers know that! Feel free to be in touch with any questions.
One of the best ways to stay up to date on services and programs is by subscribing to our e-newsletter.

digitally, or drop off physical copies at the Media or Youth desk.
Couldn’t Have Done it Without You!
Hats off to all our wonderful S.T.A.R. volunteers for making the library’s summer so productive and fun! Faced with a different type of volunteering than in previous years (virtual and
touch-free), teens lent their talents to creating art pieces, including book covers, writing blog
articles and Instagram Spotlight reviews of books, and putting kits together for programs.
Ten teens served as Book Buddies, partnering with a young student and reading together on
Zoom. Our teen volunteers really helped to color our world with reading this summer!
Many thanks to the Friends of the Deerfield Public Library for their sponsorship of a huge
rainbow of summer projects. This included sponsorship of the month-long Queer Poem-aDay project (deerfieldlibrary.org/queerpoemaday), supplies for the Kindness Garden kits,
and prizes for the Summer Reading Program. Their support made it possible to provide our
community with a wide variety of new insights and experiences.

The MakerSpace:
Your Place to Create
Story on page 2
�From the Director
As a part of this generous and
cooperative community, the Library
looks to develop and nurture
relationships with a wide variety of
community organizations. One of our
strongest partners is the Friends of the
Deerfield Public Library. In the past
12 years, they’ve raised over $125,000
to supplement library programs and
services. Most recently, they donated $25,000 for the laser
engraver in the Library’s new MakerSpace. Following are just
a few more examples of our many treasured partnerships.
The Library has had a long-standing partnership with
DPS 109. Our School Outreach Coordinator has cultivated
relationships with school librarians, teachers, administrators,
and students. With Jewett Park in our backyard, we have
worked with the Park District staff on a variety of projects.
In fact, at Jewett, there’s a bookshelf by the reception desk
stocked with books selected by our Youth Services staff.
We have worked with graphic design students at Deerfield
High School to design our annual Summer Reading Program
logo. This is the sixth year of our partnership. The logos fit
our annual theme, and are used both digitally and in print.
We are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with so many
talented students.
Every spring, we have a food drive to help the West Deerfield
Township Food Pantry stock their shelves. Annually, from
September through the end of the year, we collect winter
coats for Lake County veterans and Rotary, and also take
donations for the Toys for Tots program.
Public libraries serve their communities in so many different
ways. Nurturing our partnerships is one of them.
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director
Create. Innovate. Collaborate.
In the mood for a little technology tinkering?
Ready to take your craft ideas from inspiration to creation?
Opportunities abound at your community’s newest creative
place: the Deerfield Public Library MakerSpace!
Waves of people from Deerfield and neighboring communities
came to explore the sunny, colorful new MakerSpace at the
grand opening at the end of November. Many attendees already
had multiple projects in mind, and were back the next day to
get started. Here’s what the many visitors have been using, and
are available to all inventive and crafty spirits:
n 3D printers
n Laser engraver (generously donated by the
Friends of the Deerfield Public Library)
n Sewing machine
n Serger
n Embroidery machine
n Vinyl cutter
n Digital Media Lab equipment (for converting
older technologies to digital files)
n Large format printer
In addition, the space has a button maker, Dremel rotary tool,
soldering iron, voltmeter, and more. Additional STEAM-related
equipment includes a virtual reality station and an augmented
reality sandbox.
The MakerSpace is generally a self-directed workspace, but
when you make an appointment to use MakerSpace equipment
a staff member will be on hand to help guide you for the
duration of your appointment.

�2020 Census
Let’s get right to the point. Your participation in the 2020
Census is extremely important. The results will impact your life
for the next 10 years. Census results determine dozens of major
representation and allocation issues. This includes
• Number of seats in the U.S. House (Illinois is in danger of
losing 1-2 seats)
• Federal funds (out of a national total of $675 billion) for:
- Schools and Libraries
- School meal programs
- Roads and Highways
- Public Transportation
- Medicaid
- SNAP and WIC
- Housing assistance
- Community services grants
There will be one form per household, and will only take about
10-15 minutes to complete. Be sure to include the littlest people,
too. Historically, the most under-counted are the 0-5 crowd! In 2010,
it was estimated that one million children were left uncounted.
The good news – it will be easier than ever to participate!
There will be three ways to submit your Census form:
All households should receive an invitation in the mail about
March 12 with submission information. Census day is April 1,
but you will be able to submit your form starting March 12.
If you submit your form before April 8, there will be no need
for a Census worker to knock on your door. Don’t delay!
• Online / computer or mobile app (first time in history)
• Phone
• Paper
Starting March 12, the Library will have a dedicated computer
available for anyone in need of a device for online submission.
For more information, visit 2020census.gov.
Help us get a complete count!

Deerfield Public Library
Winter 2019-20 | deerfieldlibrary.org
Check Out a Museum Today!
Details on page 2
�From the Director
The end of 2019 marks the conclusion of
our current Strategic Plan. This plan came
out of months of work in 2016. I’m so
proud of all the work the Library staff has
done to meet the goals outlined in the
plan. By the time this edition of Browsing
is delivered, the new MakerSpace will
almost be completed and ready to open
to the public. The MakerSpace project came from our
Strategic Plan. We found out that our community was
interested in more technology and hands-on programs
here at the Library. By adding the MakerSpace, we are
able to offer these new experiences. Watch our website,
deerfieldlibrary.org/makerspace for updated information
about the Grand Opening for this new space.
In the upcoming year, the Library will continue to explore and
expand our efforts to provide the community with open access
to ideas and information in a welcoming environment. We
continually evaluate our programs and services.
It’s hard to believe that we are just a few months away from
entering a new decade, and one that comes with an extremely
important initiative: Census 2020. The Library will be working
to promote and provide information about the Census. Did you
know that this is the first time in history that you will be able to
fill out your Census form online? An important role for a public
library in the Census initiative is to provide a safe place for
people to fill out the online Census form. Watch our website for
more information about the 2020 Census.
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director

challenging them to read something they never would have on their own.

Digital Deerfield:
DHS Yearbooks and more!
Story on page 2
�From the Director
In past columns, I’ve alluded to the
planned renovation of our Media area.
As this newsletter goes to press, we are
about ready to begin construction of
our new MakerSpace, a collaborative
workspace. First, the shelves will be
rotated, and the Media desk will be
moved. Later in August, we anticipate
full construction to begin, which should last approximately
4-6 weeks. Watch our social media channels and website
(deerfieldlibrary.org/makerspace) for information about
the opening of the new space.
The Library is committed to meeting the needs of our
community. We undertook this project as part of the Library’s
current Strategic Plan. From our research and planning in 2016,
we knew there was an interest in increased STEAM-related
offerings. The STEAM acronym stands for Science, Technology,
Engineering, Art, and Math. Since 2017, we have continued to
add new STEAM programs. These have included our popular
3D printing programs, as well as Tech Drop-ins, that provide
a casual opportunity to see new technologies in action.
We have also added non-traditional items, like our Discovery
Kits, to the library’s collection. The Discovery Kits focus on
STEAM and other creative concepts with hands-on making.
A kit is a curated collection of items available around a theme.
The new MakerSpace is going to house STEAM-related equipment and provide additional table seating for people to use all
hours the Library is open. When the construction is completed,
we will have a new, larger service desk across from the book
return, which will serve Media and additional patron needs.
There is more to share! Turn to page 11 for a rendering of the
new space, as well as a list of some of the equipment that we
will have available.
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director
Local History at Your Fingertips

the top spot. Print editions are in the lower level reference area.

Summer 2019 | deerfieldlibrary.org
Summer Reading Program Kick-off Day
Saturday, June 8 • 9am-5pm
Details: Adults (p.3), Teens (p.7), Children (p.8)
�From the Director
Over the past editions of Browsing, I’ve
written about the fulfillment of the
Library’s current Strategic Plan, which
has been in place since 2017. We have
accomplished a number of the things
outlined in the plan, such as increasing
our program offerings, and adding more
copies of popular materials.
The final component to this plan is to reexamine our space to
create more seating, as well as introducing more technology
for the community with a new collaborative workspace.
At the March 2019 Board meeting, the Board hired a local
construction management firm, W.B. Olson, to manage
this project. Over the summer months, we will finalize the
documents and timeline the construction process. In the lead
up to the start of the construction, you’ll notice that some
things in the media section may be shifted. We anticipate
the start of construction will be later in the summer, and we
expect it to last approximately six weeks.
Automatic renewals are here!
Yes, it’s true. If your
checked out items are
eligible for renewal, it will
happen automatically,
up to two times! This
new service offered
by DPL provides the
convenience of enjoying
materials for a longer
period of time with less
worry about returning
them on time or
remembering to request
a renewal. Your to-do list
just got a little shorter!
The collaborative workspace is a multifunctional space
designed to help the Deerfield community learn, create,
collaborate, and have fun with technology. We will provide
everyone with equal access to materials and resources that
encourage learning in a welcoming environment. We will
be moving our very popular 3D printer into the new space,
and additional items under review for purchase are a laser
engraver, 3D scanner, and STEAM kits.
The workspace will include AV equipment such as a sound
booth, microphones, and a camera. We plan to have creative
crafting equipment, such as a sewing and embroidery
machine available for use. Finally, we’ll move our Digital
Media Lab from the basement so that all our patron-use
equipment is located in one space.
Watch our website and social media channels for more
information on this exciting new addition to DPL.
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director
How does it work?
• Two days before the due date, eligible items will
automatically renew for the full renewal period.
• What’s not eligible? Any item on hold for another
patron, Lucky Duck books, new videos, and items
acquired through interlibrary loan.
• Digital items (e-books, e-audiobooks, streaming
movies and music) are not affected.
How will I be notified?
• Patrons who have an e-mail address in their account
will get a courtesy notice letting them know which
items were not automatically renewed, and which
items now have a new due date.
• Patrons who receive text message notices will receive
a courtesy notice listing the items that were not
renewed.
How can I sign up for a courtesy notice?
• To sign up for email notification: ask in person at the
library, by phone, or update your patron account on
the Library website: deerfieldlibrary.org, Click on
“My Account” on top right side.
Reminder: You can check on your due dates anytime using the “My Account” link on our website.

• New Insights

Story on page 2
60 YEAR REFLECTION
�From the Director
We are in year three of our Strategic Plan,
developed in 2016 after months of work.
We surveyed Library patrons to gather their
feedback about what they want in their Library.
The staff and board are proud of the work that
has been accomplished. We have increased unique types of items
in the collection, added a self-checkout station for ease, adjusted
check out periods and added new spaces for our youngest patrons
in the Youth Services Department
In response to the enhanced emphasis in education for science
and math, the Library has responded with an increase in
technology programs. Some of our most popular programs have
been rooted in the maker technology. The maker movement is a
technology-based extension of DIY culture that intersects with
computer culture. This focus has coincided with our interest in
repurposing some of our space.
In 2018, the staff and board began working with Product Architecture
& Design, a firm that specializes in creating flexible library spaces.
We evaluated various options for reconfiguring our physical collection,
and have decided to repurpose the space that houses our DVD and
CD collection. We anticipate that we will see this transformation to
begin in the summer of 2019. We will be moving the Media Desk
from a somewhat hidden position to a more accessible location. This
new collaborative workspace will provide our community innovative
access to technology. We are excited to invigorate the space, and will
provide further details as plans develop.
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director
Deerfield 1959: New Insights
At the end of 2018, the Libraiy launched a new website, The Fight to Integrate Deerfield: 60 Year Reflection (deerfieldlibrarj.org/FID).
The website documents an important and complex time in the history of Deerfield and the United States. With the website, the Library
is presenting an array of special programs and exhibits to illuminate our community’s stoiy.
This is not a new story. There were community programs on the 1959 integration crisis for the 40- and 50-year anniversaries, and it has
been part of the Deerfield schools’ curriculum for years. This 60-year reflection was inspired by receipt of new historical documents for
our archives, new revelations, and several recent and forthcoming books and projects that feature Deerfield’s integration case.
Website
The new website includes online exhibits,
interviews, discussion guides, booklists,
a timeline of events, and our historical
archives. This will serve as the online
home for our resources for years to come
so that, beyond our program series,
future generations will have access to the
materials.
Historical Archives
The preservation of our physical archives
has been an important component of our
60 year reflection project. Standout items
in the newly digitized history collection
include newspaper articles quoting
Eleanor Roosevelt and Martin Luther
King Jr., anti-integration editorials, and
items related to the formation of the pro
integration Deerfield Citizens for Human
Rights.
Exhibits
2
Temporary exhibits will feature original
primary source materials including
propaganda, protest handouts, newspaper
articles, and rare photographs on loan
from the Art Shay Archives. Exhibits
will be on display in several locations
throughout the Library for the duration
of the program series.
for the Library’s permanent collection.
The photos represent a documentary and
artistic record of the fight over integrated
housing in Deerfield.
Art Shay Photographs
Share Your Story
A generous donation from the Friends of
the Deerfield Public Libraiy has made
possible the purchase of two photographs
by longtime Deerfield resident and
world-renowned photographer, Art Shay,
We are interested in personal stories,
memories, contemporary reflections, and
physical documents related to the fight to
integrate Deerfield. If interested, email

�This newsletter’s focus is on the non-traditional items
that DPL has to offer. It’s an interesting idea. What is a
“non-traditional” item? According to my dad, a DVD is
something that he considers non-traditional. My dad is a
voracious reader and library user, and he uses his public
library for books.
As I reflect on my almost 20 year career as a librarian,
I remember when computers were considered nontraditional. Computers! Something so ubiquitous today
was quite the big deal when I began my career. The first
public library I worked at after library school had a
shelving range dedicated to regional Illinois phone books.
Speaking from personal experience, those were a hard
thing to shelve! We also had CD-ROMs instead of online
databases and a vertical file. A vertical file was a filing
cabinet that had folders of “current” information, as
well as things like maps. In my tenure at that library,
we got rid of the phone books and the vertical file to
add more, you guessed it, public access computers.
Public libraries have been adept at evolving and
changing to meet the needs of their individual
communities. Deerfield is no exception. In the past
year, our collection of non-traditional items has grown
considerably. As a public library, we are about meeting
our patrons’ information needs in a variety of formats.
We have learned that this can be in the form of a
Roku or a telescope or even a board game.
Check one out today!
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director
Take home a telescope (and more)!
Once upon a time... long, long ago (ok, maybe just 20 years ago), most public libraries
had only print items for check-out, plus small collections of audio and video materials.
Fast-forward to 2018, and the DPL collection has creatively expanded to provide an
enhanced experience for our community.
Siona and Eva Rajshekhar (1-r, cover) are two of the Library’s most enthusiastic
users of “non-traditional” library materials. These Wilmot students have found that
their experience with DPL’s Discoveiy Kits stimulated an interest in STEAM (Science,
Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) activities. They have continued working
in these subject areas both at camp and school. Their interest in architecture and
engineering resulted in the cool wood structure on the cover, built with DPL’s KE\A kit.
Siona and Eva report that the structure represents the future headquarters for their
business, still in the planning stages, for “spy missions or dog walking, or both!”
Come on in and learn more about all this
fun stuff. You’ll find our non-traditional
materials in the Youth or Media
departments.

DEERFIELD
fj| Please register in advance at the Library, by phone at 847-945-3311 or
at deerfieldlibraryorg. Registration opens Wednesday, November 14.
In 1959, residents of Deerfield learned a housing developer planned to sell homes in the village to
black buyers as well as white buyers. Many residents opposed integration and sought to halt the
development. A smaller group, the Deerfield Citizens for Human Rights, formed in support of the
development. In the weeks that followed, Deerfield residents passed a park referendum designed to
condemn the developer’s land. The crisis in Deerfield became a national story, attracting the attention
of Martin Luther King Jr., James Baldwin, and Eleanor Roosevelt. After years of demonstrations and
legal battles, the land became parks that stand today.
Continuing a community tradition, the Library is inviting residents, historians, and experts to offer
new insights into this history. We have updated and digitized our archives, made new acquisitions and
discoveries. The Library is also partnering with Deerfield schools to enhance existing curriculum. We invite
you tojoin us for a series of discussions, lectures, exhibits and other opportunities to reflect on the 60 years
since the fight to integrate Deerfield began. Programs and exhibits run from January 21-May 2,2019.

Read Without Boundaries: Vol. 2
In 2018 we launched our year-long reading program, Read Without Boundaries,
designed to challenge readers to try new authors, genres, and topics. We had such a
great response to this program, and were honored when it was selected the winner of
the 2018 Illinois Library Association Readers’ Advisory Service Award.
Because of the program’s success, we’re excited to announce that the challenge will
continue in 2019, with an opportunity for teens to participate! Each month will focus
on a different theme and participants will be provided with a suggested reading list.
Participants can choose a suggested title or another title, as long as it fits the theme of
the month. In January, we will kick off the challenge by reading a book about Illinois
histoiy or a famous Illinoisan. Stop by the Adult Services desk beginning November 14
for more information and to sign up. Prizes will be awarded monthly and those who
complete all 12 months will be entered into a grand prize drawing.

Back to School!
5 Fab E- resources
for Youth & Teens
(details on page 2)
�After the lazy days of summer and the smells of
environmentally safe sunscreen, it’s time to get back
to school. I have always ei\joyed shopping for the start
of school-picking out folders and new crayons. DPL
is a great resource for your students to help them
with their homework all year long!
I’m sure I’ve mentioned before that I grew up
appreciating libraries, learning, and books. I
remember heading to our local library so that I could
use a variety of resources, like encyclopedias,
biographies, and almanacs, to work on school reports.
I also remember taking my whole Saturday morning
to do this research, with my parents dropping me at
the library and then going through all those
resources! How much more convenient it would have
been for me, and honestly my parents, if we were able
to simply use an e-resource?
We offer a variety of online resources that supplement
our print collection. All these resources are available
with your DPL card. If it has been a while since
you’ve updated your card, stop by the library during
the 69 hours we’re open each week and the staff will
be happy to take care of that. After that, the
resources are yours to use!
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director
DPL is your online Answer Place!
School has started, which means the homework projects are lining up. We can help with that! While we love to see you in-person,
you don’t need to come to the library to take advantage of the online resources we offer for researching a topic for a paper,
homework help, connecting with a tutor, or learning a new language.
Here is an introduction to a few of our dynamic online resources. You can find these, and many more, on the Library website at
deerfieldlibrary.org/online-resources.
HQ Research Projects
No more heavy (book) lifting
required when researching for a paper,
preparing for a classroom discussion, or
lining up resources for the debate team.
Encyclopedia Britan nica online
gives you three sites in one: Children;
Young Adults; and the Reference Center
for older students and adults. Choose the
level that works best for your research.
This is a great resource for exploring
the rich and varied history of the United
States through speeches, historical
accounts, memoirs, poems, images,
and multimedia,
ScholasticGo: Eveiy topic search
provides results at four different reading
levels. This easy-to-navigate resource
includes more than 80,000 vetted
websites, topographical, historical, and
current interactive maps, videos, and
multiple dictionaries. ScholasticGo was
developed to help students strengthen
content knowledge, vocabulary, and core
proficiency skills.
2
Facts on File/Issues &
Controversies: Contains more than
800 articles on current events issues
written for students, including pro/con
articles, debate videos, guidance on
evaluating online sources, and more.
Ib ensure objective coverage and a
wide range of competing viewpoints, the
editors rely on hundreds of leading print
and electronic news sources from the
United States and around the world.
Homework Help
Everyone has a different
learning style, and you’ll be sure to find
the right fit with this resource.
Brainfuse HelpNow: Come here
for help from real, live tutors online!
Assistance is available for math, science,
social studies or English. Tutors are
available for Kindergarten - 12th grade,
college introduction level students, and
adult learners, seven days a week from
2:00-9:00 pan. CT. You can also take
advantage of the Writing Lab for online
writing assistance, and skills testing.
jj|[] Learn a Language
v
Learning a foreign language
contributes to cognitive development and
also offers an advantage in the future of
our global marketplace.
Mango Languages: You’ll eqjoy this
interactive platform to learn one or more
of over 50 languages including Hindi,
Mandarin Chinese, Russian, and Urdu.
ESL courses are available in 17 native
languages.

at the age they learn best: birth to age
6. Languages offered include Arabic,
French, German, Hebrew, Italian,
Japanese, Russian, and Spanish. English
is also available for Spanish speakers.
It won’t take long to learn how to
make the most of the Library’s online
resources. If you need help, just ask a
DPL Librarian!

Join our new Classics Book Discussion.
Each session we’ll discuss the literature you were (supposed!)
to read in school or a forgotten classic. For the fall, we’ll
meet monthly to tackle a “Big Read”: Middlemarch by George
Eliot (Mary Anne Evans). Widely regarded as one of the greatest English novels,
Middlemarch: A Study ofProvincial Life tells the intersecting stories of the residents
of a fictitious Midlands town. Eliot covers wide-ranging themes including the status
of women, the nature of marriage, idealism, self-interest, religion, hypocrisy, political
reform, and education. We’ll discuss how Eliot’s nearly 150-year-old novel speaks to us
today. Books available now at the Adult Services Desk. Q

Adults (p.3),

�We thought it would be interesting to share some
statistical highlights of 2017. Following the trend for
public libraries nationwide, there is a very small
decline in our total circulation. We know that our print
collection remains popular, and our e-resources
circulation continue to grow.
What I find to be most interesting is the number of
people who still choose to come to DPL. Libraries are
the one public institution that serve people of every
age. Every day, we see people who are here enjoying a
magazine or using one of the study rooms as their
office. There are plenty of students who come to do
homework, and loads of kids enjoying the vibrant Youth
Services space. We’ve taken notice, and continue to
offer more resources and programs as our budget allows.
DPL, more than books!
