�Moving Forward,
Strategically
It is often at this time of the
year that we reflect on the
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.
2
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.
Amy Falasz-Peterson
Library Director
• Archive and preserve
photographs, 35mm film
strips, and slides by convert
ing them to high resolution
digital formats which can be
restored and printed.
The Digital Media Lab is
available by appointment for
Deerfield Public Library
cardholders at least 14 years
of age.

2. We can make recommendations, select materials, and put them on the self-service

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.
