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

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.
Little Pim: This program is specifically
designed to teach kids foreign 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!

1,000 BooK5
w Before
kindergarten
�This is the time of year when
people want to reflect on the
year that was and give back to
their community. Deerfield
Public Library has accom
plished an array of amazing
things in the past year. We have
introduced a number of new
services, such as our Digital
Media Lab, and the ability to
print 3D objects. In addition,
we’ve created a new
space with the
Baby Garden,
1,000 Cooks
Before Kindergarten = FUN!
Reading to a child can never
begin too early. 1,000 Books
Before Kindergarten is a
program designed to help you
raise a reader. Reading aloud
to your child is the best way
you can get your child ready
to read.
• Any child from birth to
Pre-K may participate. Stop
by the Youth Services Desk
to register and get a free
tote bag, your child’s log,
and a list of recommended
books.
• For every book you read
together, your child can
color in a seed on the
log sheet.
• Any book counts, whether
your child listens to it in
storytime or preschool, at
home or in the car. The
books don’t have to come
from the Library.
generously sponsored by the
Friends of the Deerfield Public
Library. We increased our
collection by offering nontraditiona! items for checkout,
such as Discovery Kits, board
games, and Wifi hotspots. We
are so proud to serve the
Deerfield community and look
forward to another exciting
year to come.
If you are looking for a unique
way to honor someone who has
contributed to the Library in
some way, I’d like to suggest
that you consider nominating
that individual for our Giving
Tree. The Giving Tree is an
initiative of the Board
of Trustees to honor
people who have given their
time and service to the success
of the Library. The Giving Tree
debuted last spring, and it is
prominently displayed in the
Lobby. If you would like to
consider honoring someone
in this way, please visit
deerfieldlibrary.org/'giving-tree.
Enjoy a warm cup of hot
chocolate and a satisfying book
this winter. I’m looking forward
to a great 2018!
Amy Falasz-Peterson
Library Director
How long will it take you to
read 1,000 books?
• 1 book a day = 3 years
• 3 books a day = 1 year
• 5 books a day = 7 months!
1,000Books is a family affair at
the Sherman house. Emily (pic
tured with her mother, Rachel)
enjoys an average of four books
a day, including while she’s at
home, in preschool, and during
Storytime at the Library. Emily
also enjoys the task of coloring
the seeds on the log sheet.
Emily’s brother, Zach, is in 1st
grade and practices his reading
skills by reading to his sister.
Emily’s father, Dave, keeps
her engaged with his special
character voices. Looking
for some suggestions to get
started? Emily recommends
The Very Hungry Caterpillar,
Ten Little Ladybugs, and the
Pinkalicious series.

Desk and online at deerlieldlibrary.org/

months past, and on what our
goals and dreams are for the
upcoming year. The Library
Board and Staff are no excep
tion. I’m proud to announce
that our Board has finished
an almost year-long strategic
planning process. We invited
community opinion, which
directed the development of
our service targets for the next
three years.
Digitize and Declutter
@ the Digital
Media Lab
Face it, you’re never going to
get that old VHS player or LP
turntable fixed. The photos
of your great-grandparents
continue to fade and stick
together, and you have no idea
how to deal with the 35mm
film strips and slides. It’s time
to simplify and digitize, and
we can help!
The Library’s Digital Media
Lab contains equipment that
allows you to convert your ex
isting media to digital formats
so that you can preserve and
epjoy them on modern devices.
• Convert audio cassettes,
CDs, and vinyl records
to MP3s or other digital
formats. Now you’ll be able
to listen to them on modern
devices such as mobile
phones or in your car.
• Experience one-touch
conversion of VHS tapes to
DVD or digital formats. You
can also edit the video and
create custom video pre
sentations using installed
software.

The board worked with a
consultant and facilitator,
Donna Fletcher, to assist in
our strategic planning process.
Donna has extensive
experience working with
libraries both professionally
as a consultant and personally
as a Highland Park Public
Library Trustee. Donna
facilitated a survey of
Deerfield residents, both
in print and with follow-up
telephone discussions.
Over 80% of survey respon
dents had extremely positive
things to say about the Library,
but there is always room for
improvement. Many respon
dents wanted to see more
programming and materials. In
addition, there was interest in
incorporating more technology
in the Library. As a result of
the surveys and analysis, the
Library will focus on the
following areas for 2017-2019:
• Quick, easy access to
services and materials
• Educational and entertain
ment materials and
programs for all ages
• Comfortable, adaptable
interior spaces
• Technology enhancements
and improvements
Over the next three years, we
will roll out new services for
our community. In 2017, we
intend to increase the number
of copies we have of highdemand materials, and, we
will begin to restructure and
enhance our programming
options,
The Board adopted plan can be
found at deerfleldlibrary.org/
strategic-plan.

• Archive and preserve
photographs, 35mm film
strips, and slides by convert
ing them to high resolution
digital formats which can be
restored and printed.

reaches out to Mitchell Bornstein
for help and one last chance. With
20 years of experience working
with abused and difficult horses,
he agrees to meet the traumatized
horse and soon learns that
Samson will be his greatest
challenge. What unfolds is a
story of constant struggles that
not only test Bomstein’s methods
and patience, but Samson’s toughas-nails personality and willingness
to let Bornstein ‘in’. A true tale of
redemption, hope, and friendship
with an ending you won’t want to
miss. Books will be available for
purchase.

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.

Getting the Most for
Your Money
"
si. «.»>" ’
Each winter, many of us gaze longingly
at travel brochures full of all-inclusive
resorts and cruises in balmier climates.
I once had the pleasure of traveling with
all my transportation, food, and
activities covered by my prepaid fees.
All I had to do was indulge to my heart’s
content. Recalling that adventure, I
realized that, for our tax payers,
Deerfield Public Library is like an
all-inclusive vacation for the mind,
complete with Master’s-degreed
“personal trainer” Librarians!
Your annual library taxes cover your
year-long enjoyment of books, movies,
and music, of course. And there is wo
extra charge for computer classes,
one-on-one lessons, musical
entertainment, cooking demonstrations,
lectures, use of our meeting spaces and
study rooms, unlimited use of computers
and laptops, Wi-Fi for all your devices,
premium-subscription databases, and so
much more. And that’s just on-site!
What music are you in the mood to listen to today? Whether it is Adele, Pharrell
Williams, Sarah Vaughan or Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Deerfield Public Library
cardholders can now download music from thousands of artists directly to their
computers, tablets, and phones.
Our Virtual Libraiy offers you all day, all
night access to many of the features
above, as well as downloadable books,
audiobooks, magazines, music, and an
expanding array of services.
The Library is offering free downloads through Freegal Music,
which provides access to over seven million songs, including
Sony Music Entertainment’s catalog of legendary artists.
Remember: There are no added fees to
ei\joy these. ALL of it is covered by your
Libraiy taxes, which account for 3.8% of
your total real estate tax bill.
With your Library card, you can download three songs a week and stream
three hours of music a day.
Songs can be transferred into existing playlists in iTunes and GooglePlay. No due
dates, no expirations - keep your songsforever■!
Are you getting the most for your money?
Stop by and let us show you all the
possibilities.
For more information and instructions on how to get started, visit

The Lowland by Jhumpa Lahiri
Monday, January 26, 7:30-8:45pm
Set in both India and America, this is a tale of two brothers bound by
tragedy, a fiercely brilliant woman haunted by her past, a country tom by
revolution, and a love that lasts long past death. Born just fifteen months
apart, Subhash and Udayan Mitra are inseparable brothers, but they are
also opposites, with gravely different futures ahead. Suspenseful and
sweeping, The Lowland is an engrossing family saga and a story steeped in
history that spans generations and geographies with seamless authenticity.
Burial Rites by Hanna Kent
Thursday, January 8, 10:30-1 1:30am
Set ainst Iceland's stark
landscape, Hannah Kent
brings to vivid life the story

an isolated farm to await

prospect of housing a
convicted murderer, the family at first
avoids Agnes. Only T ti, a priest Agnes
has mysteriously chosen to be her
spiritual guardian, seeks to understand
her. But as Agnes's death looms, the
farmer's wife and dauqhters learn there
is another side to the sensational story
they've heard.

By the numbers...
°’s - „o(ii“ -^ei,
Even though our stock-in-trade at the Library is words, we thought
you’d be interested to see how we’re doing by the numbers. These
statistics reflect our activity during the year we spent at the temporary
site during the renovation.
Open 69 hours a week
159,810 visits
403,762 items circulated during the fiscal year
82,422 reference questions answered for adults and children
13,920 Deerfield resident Library cards in use
108,118 books owned
22,427 e-books owned
11,090 DVDs owned
977 items loaned to other libraries
45,549 items were loaned to cardholders from other libraries
16,978 log-ons to the Library’s public computers
Although helping those in need is
always in season, the holidays offer
more opportunities for us to give back
to our communities. The Library has
been a drop-off center for TOYS FOR
TOTS for many years and we’re keeping
that tradition alive in our newly
renovated space. Drop off new,
unwrapped toys in the box in the
Library’s lobby now through December
Currently, we’re trending up in all categories, with growth most noticeable in
computer use—including in the Computer Lab, the dedicated computers in the
Youth Services area and the new express computers in the Lobby—and attendance
at Library programs. Due to the lack of space at the temporary facility (which was
about half the size of our permanent home) we weren’t able to present anything
more than book discussions and children’s storytimes during the renovation. Now
we’re going full tilt, offering more interesting and exciting programs for children,
families, teens and adults than ever before—so many that we’ve had to increase
the number of pages in this issue of BROWSING to showcase all of them. Our new
free tech classes (see TECH CONNECTIONS) with a maximum capacity of
12—which is the number of computers available in the lab—fill up almost as
fast as our extremely popular storytimes.
16th Although all types of toys for all
ages are accepted, please remember
The Board, the staff and I are happy to report that we’re busier than ever, with the
great new facilities, Computer Lab, expanded services, and growing collections.
Hope to see you soon!
The Library is also a designated
drop-off location for the Deerfield

What’s in your wallet??!
The smartest card in your wallet is now the
most flexible! Both the new adult and
children’s cards have a key tag, as well
as the familiar wallet size format, which
allows us to send you home with the item
your kids have put on hold, or vice versa. To protect
your account, the material must be checked out on the same
card that was used when the item was placed on hold. In other words, if
your spouse puts material on hold using her or his card, you’ll need that
card to pick up that material for him or her. The key tags allow you to
have a copy of the card and makes everything easy.
If you do decide to exchange your old card for the new format, be sure
to let the Library staff person who’s helping
you know if you check out e-books using
the card or use Zinio. He or she can help
you make the necessary changes.
