�From the Director
In August 2022, the Library conducted
a community survey to see how we can
improve our services. This survey was the
first step in updating our strategic plan. We
promoted the survey on our website, social
media, newsletters and in-house. We had over
520 responses. And, I’m happy to report that
most of our survey respondents are satisfied
with the services the Library provides.
Our survey responders want more of all the things that the
Library provides. Most survey takers (42%) also visit the Library
once a week. (If you’re a regular reader of this column, you know
that I grew up visiting my local public library branch weekly, so I
appreciate that this is still a thing!)
More than 360 survey takers are interested in expanding our
Library of Things collection. An equal number is interested in
the Library having more special STEM programs as well.
We heard that people are interested in additional comfortable
seating and study areas.
In addition, survey takers want to learn more about the services
that they didn’t know we had. We are committed to effectively
promoting our resources and services, and will work creatively
to meet that need. One great way to learn more about our
services is through our twice monthly e-newsletter. It is a
quick and informative read. If you’re not yet a subscriber, sign
up today! The link is on the lower left of the front page of our
website (deerfieldlibrary.org).
This year, the Board will approve a new Strategic Plan using
some of the data from the survey. This will help our staff
continue to make DPL an even better public library. Watch our
website for more information.
As always, please feel free to reach out to me with any questions
or comments at amy@deerfieldlibrary.org.
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director
DPL Tournament of Books: 10th Season!
Was your vote one of the 17,441 votes cast in last year’s DPL Tournament of Books? Did your favorite book make it to the Championship
Round? If not, then maybe this year a new favorite will make it to the
top in what we expect to be the most exciting season ever. Yes, get
ready for the 10th anniversary season of the Tournament of Books!
If you’re new to the Tournament, last year readers voted for their
favorite picture books, early readers, graphic novels, chapter books,
juvenile fiction and non-fiction, and teen titles. Voting is open to all
ages! Voting is online at deerfieldlibrary.org/tournament-of-books,
and DPS 109 students can vote in their school library.
In celebration of the 10th season of the Tournament, we will
be introducing two new brackets: Series and Manga. The
Series bracket was a suggestion from readers and experienced
Tournament participants: Lucy Bohrer and Charlie Plocker, both
5th grade students at Wilmot.
DPL School Outreach Coordinator Kary Henry (and Tournament
coordinator) recently visited Wilmot School to get some Tournament
insights from Lucy, Charlie, and the school’s Library Information
Specialist, Andrea Lathan.
Lucy and Charlie say they really enjoy participating in the annual
event. “The Tournament gets me thinking about what genres I most
like to read,” said Lucy. One of her favorites is historical fiction. Charlie
also likes historical fiction, and is a fan of sports-themed fiction. “I
enjoy participating in the Tournament because I find out about new
titles, and end up reading books that I might otherwise not have tried
out,” said Charlie.
When the Tournament was first introduced in 2013, there were only
117 votes cast. But for the second year, DPL began a partnership with
DPS 109, and participation grew exponentially. Ms. Henry is grateful
to the schools’ Library Media Specialists: “Without their support, we
would never reach this many students and garner this many votes!”
A couple of frequently asked questions about the Tournament are:
• How are the books selected for the initial Round of 32? They are
the highest circulating books at DPL during the previous year.
• How many times can you vote? As many times as you want!
Charlie and Lucy both say they vote about five times per round,
and a few times more for books they really love. “Yes, the
competitive spirit heats up when you really love a book,” said
Ms. Lathan. “I’ve seen some students vote 20-30 times for one title!”
“When we are in line waiting to vote in the Tournament, we often
discuss the books and find out how people plan to vote,” said Lucy.
Charlie makes a point that “the discussions do not sway his vote,”
and Lucy seconded that.
With the tips from Lucy, Charlie, and Ms. Lathan in hand, get ready
and get reading for Tournament of Books 2023. Voting starts April 4.
Vote early, vote often! @ deerfieldlibrary.org/tournament-of-books

DPL Named One of the Nation’s Star Libraries
Deerfield Public Library has received recognition as one of America’s Star Libraries for 2022,
as announced by Library Journal. This is Deerfield’s
first time receiving this recognition, and one of
only 258 public libraries nationwide.
For Deerfield’s first inclusion as a Star Library, we
received four stars. Ratings are assigned three, four,
or five stars, based on use of library services and
resources, including in-person visits, items checked
out (physical and digital), program attendance,
library website visits, wi-fi sessions, and use of
electronic resources.
We are proud to serve our community with distinction, and thank you for your support!

Deerfield Public Library
Spring 2022 | deerfieldlibrary.org
of DPL
Details on Page 2
�From the Director
This edition of Browsing is all about the
hidden gems of DPL. One hidden gem that
many people might not be familiar with is
the fiscally-minded Board of Trustees, who
are elected to rotating open positions every
two years in local elections. The Board of
Trustees serves a very important purpose.
They’re responsible for setting policies for
the Library to execute. In addition, they are
the fiscal stewards of property taxes collected for the Library.
The Library is over 97% supported by property taxes. The Library
Board takes their responsibility very seriously, carrying out the
Library’s mission in the most fiscally prudent manner possible.
This past year, the Board actively examined the Library’s finances
and funding levels. In 2022, the Library levy will be $46,881
less than 2021 due to refunding and reissuing our debt service
bonds. The bond refinance savings of $458,338 over the next
10 years will start in 2022. We worked with the Village of
Deerfield to refinance the general obligation bonds from our
building renovation project in 2013.
I’m grateful for the good stewardship of both the Library Board
and the Village of Deerfield. This is how libraries thrive.
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director
The Library is full of treasures, some “hidden,” some right out in the
open. Some are things you can hold, and some live only in the digital
realm. A few treasures are new resources, and others have been
around for years. Library staff regularly surprise patrons
with info about DPL treasures. Here are some staff favorites!

�From the Director
By now, regular Browsing readers know I
grew up in a family of readers, my kids are
carrying on the tradition. After all, their
mother is a librarian...it’s required.
Last week, my daughter came home
from school with the Scholastic Book
Club catalog. She had circled something
on every page. After she was done, my
son took another colored pen and circled
just as many items. Now, I’m a librarian at a great library with a
robust collection! Why would I consider actually buying books?
I used this as an opportunity to find out why they want to own
books when I can check them out from the library.
My son loves all the Percy Jackson books, and my daughter loves
the series featuring “Front Desk.” They like that they have the
opportunity to take their time to read it and go back to re-read it.
They find comfort in the physical book themselves.
I was struck by that profound sentiment from my middle school-aged
children. And, I started to think about the idea of comfort. We are
entering winter in Chicagoland. Some years, it feels like the winter will
never end...gray days and bone-chilling cold. But, we have all found
ways to comfort ourselves. In my family, it’s with books. Winter is the
perfect time to hunker down and find comfort in the small things in
life. Happy reading!
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director
Individually, they both replied that they like owning their own
books, especially if it’s a title that they particularly enjoyed.
The Wide World of Video at DPL
While the big world of video is always
in season, for many people, winter is a
time they ramp up their video viewing
and gaming. To help you prepare, we
want to make sure you know about
the rich collections (physical and
streaming) available for your winter
entertainment.
Video Games
Are you one of the 227 million in the
U.S. that play video games, solo and
with others? Per a 2021 report of the
Entertainment Software Association,
players say gaming inspires, provides
mental stimulation, and relieves stress.
Our library has a large collection of
games for Switch, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series
X, Xbox One, Wii, and WiiU.
DPL staff is happy to help you discover
new games in our diverse collection.
Multimedia Librarian Ted Gray, who
oversees the video game collection,
loves the sports games like MLB The
Show, and FIFA. Also, the big open
world games like Skyrim, Fallout, and
Red Dead Redemption. Adult Services
Librarian Anne Jamieson recommends
Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Stardew
Valley, and Sid Meier’s Civilization VI.
For info on the newest additions to
the collection, visit deerfieldlibrary.

Tom Hanks” which includes Castaway, Sully,
Captain Phillips, and Apollo 13.

For the streaming formats, you can search
for specific titles through our catalog. But
you also might enjoy browsing through the
digital collections online. It’s easy to link to at
deerfieldlibrary.org/movies.
Roku
The Roku provides one of the simplest ways
to stream entertainment to your TV. DPL
patrons can access popular TV shows and
movies from Netflix, Hulu, Acorn, and Disney+, and view our digital collection of over
500 movies through the Vudu app.
The Roku comes with simple setup instructions, and you can also watch the “Get Started”
video at deerfieldlibrary.org/roku.
Convert your 8mm, VHS to digital
We offer equipment for converting various
types of media into digital files (video, audio,
and photos). Even better, our staff will help
you get started. Equipment includes:
n
8mm and Super 8 film
n
Audio cassettes
n
Non-copyrighted CD / DVD
n
Film (35mm strips, mounted slides,
and medium format strips)
n
Photographs up to 8.5” × 11.7”
n
VHS tapes
n
Vinyl records
We can also convert video from various types
of video cameras.
DPL Patron Jeanne Schlax has been utilizing
the MakerSpace to digitize her collection of
80+ 8mm home movies. “We have footage
going back to the 1950s. It’s important to
convert the films before they fade and get too
brittle,” said Jeanne. “The library staff has been
very helpful training on the equipment, and I
learn more each visit. This gives me peace of
mind that our family stories can continue to
be shared for generations to come.”

• Thank you: As always, we owe a big thank you to our shelving
volunteers for all their hard work sorting, organizing and keeping our
book store shelves full for our patrons. Their dedication is what makes

weekly trip to bring books to commuters at the train station for over
10 years, and our thanks go to him as well.

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!

* Regular Meeting Minutes
April 15, 2015
8. LIBRARY DIRECTOR REPORT
The Library Director, Ms. Pergander, provided the following information:
a. Highlights from Director's written report
Since there are currently no Goals identified for 2015, the report focused on other activities. We are
preparing to launch two new e-newsletters, featuring programs of interest for patrons. New patron
computers have been deployed and are faster, safer, and easier to use. The annual audit is underway and
proceeding smoothly. There were 73 meeting room set-ups in March. The planned $991,000 transfer of
funds was completed. Pinterest has gone live. Our Digital Media Coordinator has received a promotion from
a former employer and will be leaving soon. Apple computers for Youth have been deployed and are quite
popular. Apple computers for adults will follow soon. We successfully completed the food drive for West
Deerfield Township food pantry. Nina Michaels, our Teen Librarian, participated in the Optimists youth
recognition ceremony by presenting certificates to teen volunteers form our teen program. The Youth and
Support Services area workspaces need additional and realigned configurations and furnishings. The
department heads and Director met with a furnishings consultant to plan these changes and obtain quotes.
The rolling chairs in the Youth study rooms have been replaced at no charge by the manufacturer because of
fabric problems. The replacement of the main electrical panel due to water damage form the summer 2014
flood has been approved by our insurance company and will take place on June 2 and 3. The Library will be
closed for those two days. A communications plan will be in place to notify community members of the
closure, and staff will be paid for the time as for snow days. There have been a number of recent DVD thefts.
This is being carefully tracked and some changes are being made to reduce risk. Judy Hoffman has
registered the Board for the July 4 parade, and red, white, and blue rubber bracelets will be the giveaways. If
the Teen volunteers join the Board in walking for the parade, we will be sure that a responsible staff
member is with them at all times until the end of the parade. Board members wear Board-logo polo shirts,
and we are buying them for the new Board members as well. Ms. Pergander also shared the new charts
about the Library collections and usage, which the Board appreciated. These were developed by Pam
Skittino. Ms. Pergander reported that a patron was recently temporarily banned for multiple violations of
the patron Behavior Policy. Because this occurred just before the Board meeting, she will bring the case next
month for further discussion, after obtaining more details.
b. Update regarding art purchases made possible by Friends' donation
The "robot" prints have been ordered, and will be matted and framed. These were made possible by the
Friends of the Deerfield Library as part of the recent Wish List pledge.
c. Update: Combination of lower level service desks and create seating area using existing furnishings
Next week we will be combining the two lower level service desks and also creating a new seating area on
the lower level. Staff members have been included in preparing for the changes, to assure role clarity. To
avoid staff injuries, we are using a moving company to move the large, heavy pieces.
d. Health insurance update for next year
The Library, Village, and Park District met about the health insurance pool and future changes due to
Obamacare. At the current time only minor pricing changes are being made, until the issues can be studied
further for implementation at the beginning of 2016.
In further discussion, Mr. Goldberg asked about the quantity of the July 4th give-a-ways. Mr. Abosch
suggested increasing the quantity by another 500-1000, to assure we have enough.
Ms. Pergander will follow-up, and added that any bracelets left over can be used at the County Fair or for
other events. Mr. Rivlin suggested using the bracelets to promote web traffic by including a mark (star?) on
a few for winners. Mr. Abosch suggested that perhaps it could be implemented at another event, such as
the Farmers Market. Ms. Pergander will look into it.

Regular Meeting Minutes
April 15, 2015
Mr. Simon asked about the new Administrative Associate. Ms. Trisha Steele explained that Ms. Mary
Holtrop, an experienced Business Manager from Sycamore Library, had recently joined the Business Office
staff and will provide about ten hours of business office assistance per week, replacing an employee who
left for a full time position elsewhere.
9. OLD BUSINESS
a. Reminder of new board member orientation on April 25, and May 20 swearing in of new Board members
Mr. Simon announced the upcoming orientation session, noting that it will start at 9:30 a.m. Mr. Goldberg,
Ms. Pergander, and Mr. Simon outlined the plans for the orientation and May 20th meeting, when the new
Board members will be sworn-in. The Farewell Event for Ms. Pergander, on May 21st, was also discussed.
b.
Update - GIVING button for donations, and related donation information
Ms. Pergander noted that the Giving Policy needs to be finalized and Mr. Simon asked that the Board be
provided a summary.
c.
Update - Recruitment of new Library Director
Mr. Abosch reviewed the progress of the new director selection process. He said that Ms. Lynn Elam has
recommended four candidates for the Board's consideration. Next Monday the Search Committee plans to
review the recommended candidates and determine who should be finalists. The Committee also plans to
consider the logistics for the next steps in the selection process, including the naming of a possible Interim
Director. Mr. Abosch also asked Ms. Pergander if there are viable candidates in-house for providing interim
coverage as there is some interest from outside.
He also outlined the importance of the candidates' interactions with staff and asked how it might be
structured to accomplish two purposes: 1) to provide interaction with staff for the candidate, and 2) to get
staff input.
Mr. Simon asked to have staff send possible interview questions that staff have to Mr. Abosch so that the
Board can consider them.
d.
Follow-up regarding automatic interior doors
Ms. Pergander outlined the steps taken to address a concern regarding automatic interior doors. She said
she had contacted the patron who originally notified the Library about the issue and informed her of the
changes made so far to the door in the Quiet Room. The patron will check the door.
Mr. Abosch reported that he has watched for how other public buildings have handled this issue, and noted
that there were no automatic doors available in a quiet room he found at the airport.
e.
Update - Replacement of main electrical switch
No information provided at this point in the meeting.
10. NEW BUSINESS
a. Letters of interest in Board officer positions for May election
Mr. Simon announced that three letters of interest have been submitted to date and that Board officers will
be elected in May, after the new members are sworn-in. Additional nominations will be possible at that
time.
b. Recommendation to purchase budgeted replacement server for Sierra System at a cost not to exceed $27,100
Ms. Pergander announced that the quote for the replacement server has been reduced to $25,725 and
added that the warranty is for three years.

Regular Meeting Minutes
April 15, 2015
MOTION: Mr. Rivlin made a motion to approve the purchase of a replacement server for the Sierra System at a
cost not to exceed $25,725 and it was seconded by Ms. Luisa Ellenbogen.
Vote: 6 yes - Ken Abosch, Luisa Ellenbogen, Michael Goldberg, Jeff Rivlin, Seth Schriftman, and Ron Simon. The
motion was approved.
Other item for discussion
Mr. Rivlin said that patrons continue to say that the Library still needs some warming elements, and that he
is particularly disappointed in the fireplace. He suggested that some modifications, such as logs, might help.
Mr. Rivlin encouraged the Board to explore new options because it was a high priority during the creation of
the Library Improvement Project.
Mr. Simon asked for additional comments and Mr. Schriftman agreed that the anticipated ambiance is
lacking, and creating more of a real fireplace appearance would help. Ms. Ellenbogen also noted that the
surrounding area is not very welcoming and is not used as often as other areas.
Mr. Simon shared a list of issues that he hopes the new Director might help the Board to address and
reviewed some of his own high priorities. He suggested that the appearance and function of the fireplace
area should be added to the list.
Additional ideas were suggested by the Board members regarding how to make the fireplace area seem
more like a reading nook, such as adding coffee table books, magazines, or the Lucky Duck collection to that
area.
Ms. Ellenbogen announced that the Staff Appreciation Event will be on April 23rd. She and Ms. Dembitz had
reviewed what was done in the previous year, which included evening shift pizzas as well as a breakfast, and
recommended that the same be provided. The logistics were discussed. The event is funded by the Board
members.
MOTION: Mr. Schriftman made a motion to move to a closed session for the purpose of reviewing prior closed
session minutes and to discuss personnel issues, as allowed by law. The motion was seconded by Ms. Ellenbogen.
Vote: 6 yes - Ken Abosch, Luisa Ellenbogen, Michael Goldberg, Jeff Rivlin, Seth Schriftman, and Ron Simon. The
motion was approved and the open session was closed at 8:25 p.m.

�LYMAN WILMOT I-JOUSE
601 WilmoL Road
Deerfield, Illinois
The origi^31 pioneer house, probably a cabin, was built ca. 1840, with
additions and revisions over the years. It is, I believe, the oldest
occupied building in Lake County, an opinion confirmed by the Director of
Archives of Lake County Museum, Wauconda, Illinois. The only older
standing structure being a log cabin erected, three years earlier which has
been moved and is a part of a historical village in a Deerfield,park.
At a later date, but still early, a coach house was added to the property
and used for the Wilmots' wagons, carriages, and horses.
The structures still show early detail, especially hand-hewn beams and a
stone'foundation in the house cellar.
A unique feature of the coach house is a tower section which once contained
an inside water tank. And in the house, still to be seen after more than a
hundred years, are the initials scratched in a windowpane of Roswell
Wilmot, one of Lyman Wilmot's sons.
After the deaths of Lyman and Clarissa Wilmot in the 1890s (they are buried
m Deerfield Cemetery), the property passed into the hands of various
members of the family and others to the present day. Although changes have
been made m the.property - to be expected in 155 years - it still retains
integrity as a pioneer home. Much of Wilmot1s original acreage has been
sold off over the years, but the remaining property, the size of three
normal house lots, is very impressive and is unique in the community on a
street bearing the historic Wilmot name.
Lyman Wilmot was.a seventh generation descendant of immigrants from England
who came to America m 1637 and were among the earliest settlers of
Connecticut. He was born in Boone County, New York, in 1806.
In 1834 Lyman's brother Jesse Wilmot journeyed to what is now the Deerfield
another on the western edge of the present village.

�-2its superintendent and his wife taught. The school bears their name to
this day. My children attended this school at one time and my grandchildren
do now, where they are "celebrities" to their friends because they live in
"Mr. Wilmot's house."
The Wilmot family were ardent supporters of the North's cause during the
Civil War. They were dedicated abolitionists and their home became a stop
on the Underground Railroad where slaves were harbored on their way to
Canada. One escaped slave was sheltered by them throughout the war.
The Lyman Wilmot family was significant in the founding and early develop
ment of the community of Deerfield, and their still-standing historic
residence - evolved as it may be - is probably the oldest occupied building
in Lake County.
This record of the pioneer Lyman Wilmot family was presented to the
Deerfield Historical Society by Richard Hart of Riverwoods, Illinois, an
owner of the property in June, 1995
(
�The Wilmot homestead is located at 601 Wilmot Road. The original
house consisted of a kitchen and living room with a "ladder" stairway
to the space above them - the sleeping loft. One of the stories perpetuated
about the home is that it once was an underground station for runaway
slaves during the Civil War. Lyman Wilmot was known to have been an
abolitionist.
Several additions have been made through the years. In the 1920's
the sun porch shown below was added. This became the main entry to
the house.
The other structure on the property is the coach house, built to
house the coaches, or horse-drawn carriages, owned by the Wilmots. Three
garages are now on the ground level. The second floor was originally
a hay loft; it is now an apartment.
Attached to the coach house is a
shop, and an office that was formerly a greenhouse.
�SETTLING IN
The title of "disputed" first settler in Deerfield is held by
Jesse Wilmot. He came by flatboat up the north branch of the Chicago
River (that's the trickle under the bridge on Deerfield Road by the
Garden Apartments) and spent the winter of 1834 here alone, As he was
just scouting the area, he was not considered a settler.
Meehans and Lambs are listed as early settlers, but one historian
gives credit for first permanent residency to the Cadwells.
Jacob
Cadwe11 and his family came from Vermont and settled here in 1835.
As they settled around what is now the corner of Waukegan and Deerfield
Roads, the town became known as Cadwell Corners, That name, remained
until 1849-50 when there was a vote to rename the town. Many German
and Irish settlers had arrived by then. Irish people wanted another
Erin. John Millen (who was from Deerfield, Massachusetts) suggested
Deerfield as it seemed to fit the area with its abundance of wild deer.
When the vote was taken, Deerfield won by four votes.
Meanwhile Jesse Wilmot returned with his family and settled on land
that is now around Greenwood Avenue. He convinced his brother to
investigate the area, and Lyman did just that in 1837. He then returned
to New York for his family and finally settled in the fall of 1840 on
240 acres of wild land around what is now Wilmot School. Here Lyman
and Clarissa Wilmot raised six sons and three daughters.

Bartlett, followed him west in 1836, locating
near Libcrtyvillc.
Richard and Ransom Steele came to the
county in 1S34, made claims and erected a house
about two and one-half miles south of Libcr
tyvillc. Returning cast for their families in the
early winter, they occupied the new home in
February, 1835. In this house, June 20, 1835,
Albert B. Steele was born. He was the son of

Jacob Miller came out from Chicago in 1834
and built a sawmill near the mouth of Mill
Creek, not far from the town line now separating
Warren from Newport; went back to the city
for the winter, and returned to the mill early
in 1835. He also erected a flouring mill, the first
in the county, as far as can be ascertained.
William Green prospected on the east side
of the river, in Libcrtyvillc, in 1834, but did
not permanently locate there until 1837.
Jesse Wilmot built a home in Deerfield in
1834, and) “bached" it for a year. Lyman, his
brother, spent the summer with him, then re
turning cast, where he remained until 1840, after
which, until his death,_ he resided in this county.
Joseph Flint located a claim in Cuba town
ship, probably in 1834, which was occupied by
his bachelor son, Amos Flint, who died in 1837
or 1838. The log house, whioh was jointly oc
cupied by an aunt, Mrs. Grace Flint, and V. H.
Freeman and family, burned during their first
winter,' leaving them in a pitiable condition.
Timber was plenty, however, and but little time
elapsed before a temporary shelter replaced the
burned structure. Flint Creek, in Cuba, still
bears the name of the pioneer of .that township.
Joseph Flint is understood to have returned cast
immediacy after locating the claim. Thomas
Ballard, who came to Vernon in 1835, also lost
a house by fire, but before his family or furniture
had been moved in.
It is probably true that Captain Wright’s was
the only family to spend the entire winter of
1834-5 in Lake County, although it is claimed
by William E. Sundcrlin that his uncle, Pclcg
Sunderhn, and family spent that season in their
log home tin the York House neighborhood north
west of Waukegan.

claims taken up were almost entirely along the
?
,
Dcs Plaines River. The early settlers signed
agreements that when the land was surveyed and
sold they would deed to each other any that
might be within the lines staked out as "claims."
These agreements were usually carried out, al
though some litigation resulted,
The river
claims were quickly taken and those bordering
the lakes or small streams, especially when it
happened that there was a grove located near,
were usually the next ones to be secured. Those
living along the river suffered most with chills
and fever—those banes of pioneer life— and the .
prairie settlers found some compensation for
being compelled to at once dig wells because of
at least partial exemption from the ague. The
agreements to deed back and forth any land
embraced in a claim, regardless of section lines,
accounts for the irregular shape of many farms
in various parts of the county, and explains the
long, narrow subdivisions so common along the
Des Plaines.

It is not easy at this late day to make a
complete and accurate list of all who came in
1835. to separate them from those who came
a year or two later, or to state just the locali
ties where they settled. A few remained but
a short time, although a majority made this
their permanent home. The following list prob
ably embraces most of those who came in 1835:
In Vernon there were James Chambers, Clark
Knights, Alonzo Cook, Moody Rowd, Henry
Walton. Jonathan Rice. William Easton. B. F.
Washburn. J. M. Washburn*, Mathias Mason.
Asahcl Talcott, Roswell Rose, Andrew S. Wells,

iVsn \m.C, 3 not known t0 kcr descendants. She died about
Nnrih M
or elghtjr-eight. and was buried in tho first
ivoitli Northficld Cemetery.
Another member of the Gutzler household was old Grctel.
V. i huousekceper, who came to America with them. Grctel
cued about March. 18G0. She had some money "out," und
oy the will of Philip Gutzler (who died January 7. 185G)
as to be given a home with his.son, or have another found
.r her. A small house was built for Gretel across the
road, and after she died It became the property of Mr. Hess.
The will also provided that the eldest son (or one of the
two elder sons) should care for the younger Gutzlcr chil
dren, and pay to each one thousand dollars, when lie or she
became of age. Philip Gutzler, the eldest son, fulfilled these
requirements and acquired the homestead, eighty acres of
woodland, also sonic money invested.
Philip Jacob Gutzler, his wife, who was Margaret Eliza
beth Hetzcl, and their daughter, Salome (born in Gertshelm, July 9, 1837, and died In Deerfield in December, 1S50),
were burled in the old Evangelical Association Churchyard
In North Northficld. 111. About, fifty years later (about
’.905) under the supervision of Philip Jacob Gutzler’s daughter, Mrs. Lydia Himmel, the three caskets wero disinterred
intact and removed to the newer cemetery half a milcT'east
of the church.
Philip Gutzler was born In Gcrsthcim, April 2, 1830. and
camo to Deerfield with his parents In 1841. He attended
the Wilmot School, and lived the usual life of a boy on the
.farm. When he was nineteen the whole United States was
electrified by the rumor of astounding gold discoveries In
our newly acquired territory of California. It was almost
without inhabitants, and the field was open to all who could
get there. The wildest excitement and activity prevailed
throughout the country, and every city and village throbbed
with feverish Impulse to rush to the "diggings." The
boys on the farm "out west," as Illinois was then called,
did not escape-the contagion.
Tho maps then published showed all of the territory west
of the state of Missouri as a blank across which was printed
the words "Great American Desert." The difilculty of
reaching this unknown country restrained thousands from
the attempt, so that those only who possessed natural
courage or adventurous proclivities actually made the great
plunge.
In 1851, Philip Gutzler could no longer resist the golden
lure, and being then or age, felt that he was free to go,
and, in company with several other young men or the neigh
borhood (among whom were Jacob Ott and Ills nephew.
Jacob Ott. Philip Ott. Andrew Meier, George Arnold, Philip
Lehman and one of the Luther boys), started bn the Jour
ney. The "Argonauts” had several routes from which to
choose: A tedious sea journey around Cape Horn, a partly '
sea and partly land route across the Isthmus of Panama,
or Nicaragua, or Mexico, or following westward the buf
falo trails which were already outlined by the bleaching
bones of beasts and men who had succumbed to the hard
ships of the desert, or had been killed by tho Indians. Tho

The ocean voyages, with the poor accommodations of tho

*»f llio JournXsy; but ail ho ulwayu wau n good a uullor, Philip
Gutzlcr was In better health and spirits than tho majority
or the paaoengoro when they came to anchor In tho Harbor
of Chagreo.
Travel ucroiiii the liilhimm wan by cniiouu, or buugon, up
tho Chagres River, following about tlio samo lino as the
Panama Canal, was dug- sixty years later. Part of the
distance tho men walked and over some of the way they
wero carried In chairs strapped on the backs of the natives.
These natives, who beforo the "Gold Rush" were exception
ally honest people, by two years' contact with American
radians, had been changed to thieves and murderers, and
the whole route across tho Isthmus was Infested with Amer. lean, English and Spanish highwaymen, who pounced upon
defenseless travellers at every opportunity. After crossing
the Isthmus there was another sea journey (which some
times took three months) beforo they passed through the
Golden Gate, and stepped ashore upon the "Promised Land.”
Philip Gutzler’s next five years were spent In the vicinity
of San Francisco, Sacramento, Monterey, and Santa Cruz.
For five years tho "rush" continued. Some of the dis
coveries were wonderful, but the greater number of people,
wrought to a pitch of nervous frenzy by the myriad reports
flying about, were too easily Influenced to leave a locality
of moderate wealth to plunge into the unknown beyond the
mountains.
After months of fruitless searching for the proclaimed
‘Inexhaustible focus of gold," they would return those who
had not succumbed to privation—poverty stricken and rag
ged, to find the claims they had left already occupied.by
fresh arrivals.
This sort of work was too uncertain to suit Philip Gutzler,
so after two years of Indifferent success at placer mining,
lie started-to grow wheat. Some of the time that he was In.
California flour was as high as one dollar a pound, and
many a man mined half a day to pay the price of a loaf
of bread.
Sugar cost a dollar a pound, and butter two dollars and
a half.
The producer’s profits were certain and though not large
compared to that of the most fortunate gold seeker’s, at any
rnto Inrgo onougli to prove tho wisdom of his choice.
Philip Gutzler prospered until ho had a severe attack of
typhoid fever. With .this, and its attendant ills, he was
sick for a year. A man nurse was employed when the
most ordinary labor cost ten dollars a day. Eggs >vere
ono dollar each, and milk seventy-five cents a quart. This
year’s sickness cost Philip Gutzler a small fortune, but,
even with such* great expense, the years spent in Californfa
pyi>—l profitable.
The first letter to reach him from his Illinois home told
of his mother’s death, and after being away five years, he
was called home by the death of Ills father. By that time
a railroad had been built so the Journey was not attended
with so many hardships.
?
On his return It was arranged that Philip should tako his
father’s farm, care for the younger children of the family,
and as his six brothers and sisters became of age, to pay
each one thousand dollars.
On July 29, 1857, Philip Gutzler married Adclla Wilmot
daughter of Lyman and Clarissa Dwight Wilmot. The re
mainder of his life was spent on the old homestead where
ho led tho active life of a successful farmer. Plls last six
years were marred by falling health, and on. June 30, 18S2,
he died at the age of fifty-two, respected as a man of the
highest honor. After his death the farm was sold to George
Stryker.
Michael was tlje second son or Philip Jacob Gutzler and
his wire, Margaret Elizabeth I-Ictzcl. Michael was born
June 15, 1833,, In Gcrsthcim. Alsace. He married Mary
I weed, November, 1855, In Waukegan, III. They made their
home In Mount Vernon, Iowa.
Mary Elizabeth (always called by her second name) was

A’hich name was changed to Port Clinton on March 19, 1850. Both were forerunners of the
; first post office in Highland Park, on December 14, 1861. St. Johns was located on a

The
-----
first post office in the village of Deerfield was established May 4, 1850.
Deerfield was a settlement of buildings at the crossing of Waukegan Road and Deerfield
Road, but in those days, the roads were muddy except where planks were laid for wagon
wheels, and there were farms on both sides of the rutty road west thru the Wilmot farm to
the Des Plaines River. Caleb Cadwell was appointed post master, and the first office was
in his home. He owned buildings on both sides of Waukegan Road. Assisted by his daughter,
Rosclla, Cadwell served until 1854. A list of the postmasters in Deerfield since Cadwell:

For seventeen years there was a post office serving the area north of
§£■ Deerfield, including Lake Forest. It was established in 1887 in Lancasterville, in the
area later called Everett. This postal service was discontinued in 1909, however, when
^4 Rural Free Delivery started out of the Deerfield post office, when Samuel P. Hutchison
was postmaster in an office in his general store on Deerfield Road near Waukegan Road.
& RFD was authorized by Congress in 1904 but did not start in this region until five years
later. Using a horse drawn mail wagon, the carrier was William Carl "Billy” Ott, less
*
than four feet tall, but devoted to his daily tasks over dirt roads in much adverse weaA) thcr and road conditions.

Abolition
Tho abolitionist sentiment existed in Deerfield
and Its adjacent areas. A “station" on the
Underground Railroad was operated by Lyman
Wilmot, and a runaway slave was received here
and given quarters for the v/lnter of 1058 at the
home of Lorenz OIL’ Abolitionists from Highland
Park would come to Deerfield to debate the Issuo
at the corner of Deerfield and Waukegan Roads.1
The runaway slave, Andrew Jackson, was 20
years old and came from a Mississippi plantation.
His father was the plantation owner, a white man,
and because of this, the slavo received greater
liberty than other slaves, providing /him with an
opportunity to escape. His flight from Mississippi
was an ordeal which included temporary capture
by his pursuers.*
i
Jackson lived with the Ott family, and did
chores while there. He built a while picket fence
and gale, but asked that it be taken down when
tho slaves were freed-German thrift could not ac
cede to this request. In the spring, Jackson was
taken to Chicago from where ho sailed to Canada.
He corresponded with the Ott family from there.4
The abolitionist sentiment was not universally
embraced, however, and many men were unable
to acknowledge a personal involvement in the
abolition Issuc-parlicuiarly In the resulting war.*
Antiv/ar sentiment was so strong that a bounty
was required to induce enlistments. The bounty
was $40 per man at tho beginning of the war, but It
was 51 COO by the end.*
There were a few “copperhead” and "a lodge or
two ol Knights of the Golden Circle,"* which wore
southern sympalhiziers, but “never constituted an
effective fifth column."' A strong Union League
existed to counteract any disloyalty that may
have disgraced the County.*

CIVIL WAR
Doorflold Grand Army of tho Republic
Captain McCaul’s Shield Guards were ap
parently the first volunteers. Their formation was
announced on April 20, 1061, and Ihcy Joined an
I
Irish regiment In Chicago.'* On April 29, 1061,
nlnoly volunteers from southern Lake County art
rived at Waukegan." On May 4,1061, the Union RIv
fie Guards were formed. On June 6, the County
Board of Supervisors appropriated 55,000 for
bounties to encourage enlistments."
During the summer of 1061, Companies C and F
of the 37lh Illinois Infantry were organized. Cap
tain Eugcno B. Payne and Captain Erwin B.
Messer were tho officers of these Companies.
During the winter of 1061-1062, half of Company I,
45th Illinois Infantry, and half of Company F of the
C5th Infantry were organized; Company G of the
51st Illinois Infantry was organized, and all went
to Camp Douglas.w it Is not certain whether Virgil
Wilmot, the son of Lyman Wllmot who operated
the underground railroad, served In the 45th" or
the 55lh" Illinois Infantry.
Thomas Mooney of Deerfield had the unique
service record of serving on both sides. He was In
ducted Into the Confederate Army while working
as an engineer on a Mississippi River steamboat,
but escaped after two years and Joined the Union
Army."

Several Deerfield men died as a result of the

Wright’s daughter, Caroline, married William
Whlgham in 1036. It was the first marriage In Lake
Counly, and Hiram Kennlcott, first Justice of the
Peace, performed the ceremony at the •'Mill" on
the Dos Plaines River.”
The Wright farm spanned the Des Plaines River,
and port ol it is now the Rycrson Conservation
Area in Rivorwoods. Wright died December 30.
1073 at the age of 95. His farm was In the name of'
William Whlgham on the 191G Plat Map. Ho had
married Rachel Millard in 1045.”
The first soltler In Deerfield Township was
Michael Meehan. Ho arrived in a covered wagon
drawn by two oxen and settled on Section 10 on
Telegraph Road in 1035, between Half Day Road
and Wilmol Road.” Meehan was born In 1000 at
Meath, Ireland. He married Drldgel Monahan In
1032, and emigrated to the United Slates that
same year. Ho went first to Salina, New York, and
later to Michigan, but in tho aulumn of 1035 he
came finally to Deerfield. The Indians hod not loft
the area yet, and the township was still in its
natural state. Meehan plowed the first furrow in
the township.”
Ho was relatively well slocked with provisions
when he arrived in Deerfield, for he had several
barrels of flour and a barrel of beef and pork. He
also had the cash to purchase seed, oats and
potatoes in the following spring, and he bought
the first piglet and first pair of kittens as well. He
erected a log cabin on the 225 acres that pre
empted, and the land hod not yet been surveyed
(therefore it was still government land obtained
from the Indian Treaty). Ho loft the farm for a brief
attempt at gold mining in California in 1052 but
realized the futility and quickly returned. ”
Meehan continued to work his farm until 1076
when, at the age of 60. he retired, sold his farm to
James O’Connor, a neighbor and rclatlvo and
moved to Highland Park.”
The first settler In what Is now the Village of
Deerfield was Jacob Cadwcll (or perhaps Horace
103*" »• Cadwcl1 ond Laml) arrived |n Deerfield in
Jacob Cadwcll and his wife, Ruble Rich
Cadwcll, had five sons and' two daughters: .
Madison, Philemon. Caleb, Hiram, Edwin, Rubio
Roseth and Jcrusha Rosina.” They all settled on
what is now Waukegan Road near Deerfield Road
For a time this was called ’’Cadwell Corners” but
later it was changed to ’’Deerfield Corners ” The
approximate locations of their homos Is given In
the History ol Dccrliold. by Roichelt. but those
locations are no longer contemporary. The •
7
Cadwell lands were pre-empted under one of the
pro-emptlonblllspassedafter1030(butboforolhe
Distribution Pre-emption act).”
Caleb Cadwell was appointed the first
postmaster In Deerfield In 1050.” The Cadwells
built tho first school — Cadwell School — and
Rosella was tho first teacher. The Cadv/ell School
was opened In 1840, but the Wilmol School - tho
first In the township — was opened In 1847.”
Horace Lamb came to Deerfield In 1835, tho
same year as the Cadwells. It Is not clear, actual*
ly. who was tho first to settle here. Tho Lamb property was located between what Is now
Waukegan road and tho east slough north from
the county lino Into what 13 presently tho country
club. These were later the Vetter and Parsons proparties.”
K
The Wllmols, too, wero among the first settlers
Josso Wllrinot came up tho North Branch In 1034
and landed at what Is now Greenwood Avenue ”
Having stayed In Deerfield through tho winter, ho
returned In 1837 to tho east to bring his own fami*
ly and his brother, Lyman, and his family. Both
families settled west of the village along Wilmol
Road In the Deerfield Road area (none of which
existed at tho time, of course). Tho farm tho
Wilmols built was considered one of tho best and '
most productive In tho area.”
Lyman Wilmol had cloven children, six sons
and five daughters. Ho built the first school In tho
township; tho Wilmots were patrons of education.
They were also abolitionists, and operated a sta
tion on the "underground railroad” which aided
runaway slaves to escape Into Canada.” Mrs.
Clarissa Wilmol, Lyman's v/Ife, was a practical
nurse and midwife who administered to the Infirm
In the absence of the physician, and performed
some diagnostics with tho aid of a medical
manual.”

Ihe Deerfield area. He was the classic bucksklnn*
ed frontiersman. His mother, a Virginian, had
been captured and raised by the Shawnee and
married an English officer at Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Clark's uncle, John Klnzle, was a noted Chicago
pioneer, and his stepfather, Jonas Clybourn, was
also numbered among Chicago’s first settlers.
John Klnzie Clark was raised with the Indians.
He had acquired their ways and was called "In
dian" Clark by settlers, but the Indians named him
"Nannlmoa," the prairie wolf. He was a skilled
hunter and a man of great endurance. He was an
express rider between Fort Wayne, Chicago and
Milwaukee, and brought supplies to Deerfield by
pack saddle. For two years, 1031-33, ho oven serv
ed as the Chicago coroner.
Clark had an Indian wife and a number of
children In Wisconsin, but lator In life married a
whllo woman. Pormclla Scott of DcKalb, and settl
ed In Deerfield. This marriage produced two
daughters, Elizabeth and Haddassah, who marrled Hobart and Walter Millen respectively.
His attempts to farm In Northflcld met with
failure. Clark was a hunter, not a farmer, and his
friends, the Indians, came to hunt and camp with
him on his farm. After he served In the Civil War,
he bought a home In Deerfield In 10G5. Ho is
buried in the Deerfield Cemetery.
Clark was the true frontiersman, apparently not
very adaptable to the agrarian transition that took
place during his lifetime. Those frontier skills
were best suited for survival In the hostile pre
settlement environment which so devastated
those lirst settlors, but they proved to have little
value In post settlement Deerfield.5'

Deerfield Town Named
In 1040 the township was called "Lo Clair.””
The Selection of a permanent name for tho
township — as distinguished from the vlllago
which was not Incorporated or named until
1903—occurred In 1849. A township meeting was
held at the home of Michael Meehan on Tc-legraph
Road. The Irish Immigrants suggested the name"Erin" for Ireland, but John Millen from Deerfield,
Massachusetts, suggested the namo "Deer
field"—noting, a3 the Indians had.observed, that
deer In abundance was a characteristic of tho
area. Tho voto was 17 lo 13 In favor of Doorflold.”

transportation wa3 limited to Improved roads, and
tho railroad was not available until 1855 when
track was laid through Highland Park.

only as a means of Ingreoa but os a moans for
shipping farm products to market and for com

In addition, seed grain, livestock, implements,

�WILMOT SCHOOL HISTORY
f
On March 3,
1845 Lyman and Clarissa
Wilmot deeded one quarter acre of land
at the northwest corner (corner of
Wilmot and Deerfield Roads today)
of their farm for .a school,
first Wilmot School
The
(a township,
not a village school) opened in
1847 with Rosella Cadwell as the
firs.t teacher.
According to the deed (which, by
the way,
tg
is still in the possession
of the district,
^
kept in a bank vault),
the land for Wilmot School reverts back
■SIP
asisfltsi
to the heirs if it is used for any
purpose other than a school or if the
land remains vacant for three years.
The first schoolhouse was built by Lyman Wilmot of logs.
It is said that tHe school had to face south so that Mrs. Wilmot
could see the children enter the building.
Does the door that the fourth graders use today face
south?
A second schoolhouse was made of rough boards and had a
dirt floor.
The third building, built in 1858, burnt to the
ground before it could be used.
A fourth structure was built
immediately using the same foundation,
This building still
exists today
1 .as part of a house at 294 Kenmore Avenue.
(It was first moved to the corner of Pine Street and
Deerfield Road and later moved to Kenmore.)
In 1904,
the fifth building was completed,

�LYMAN WILMOT HOUSE
And Why It Will Not Be On The National Register
In the summer of 1994 my wife and I, together with our daughter and her husband, bought
die Lyman Wilmot House at 601 Wilmot Road in Deerfield.
From die beginning I was intrigued with the unique property because of its age and the
historic importance of the Wilmot family, who were very prominent in the early
development of Deerfield.
It was my hope to gain acceptance of the house and coach house on the National Register
of Historic Places. To that end I researched the history of the property and the Wilmot
family. Unfortunately, there was little about the house available except numerous
references to the fact that the original structure—still inside the present house somewheredated from 1840, making it, I believe, the oldest occupied building in Lake County. I
hoped some old photos of die buildings might become available, but none did.
I had much more success in developing information about the Wilmot family. Because of
my interest and experience in genealogy I was able to trace die Wilmot family back seven
generations to the year 1637 when the first Wilmot came to America from England.
I also located and corresponded with a number of Wilmots around the country, several
closely connected to die Deerfield family, who sent me interesting information and
encouraged my National Register quest.
But, alas, it is not to be! I was done in by siding—that and two extensions added to the
house at unknown times in the past. These revisions, it was judged, changed the character
of the structure too much to meet the National Register criteria (despite some early touches
to be seen—a field stone foundation, several hand-hewn beams in the cellar, and the initials
of one of Lyman Wilmot’s sons scratched in on an old window pane over a hundred years
ago). The later siding was the biggest problem. The National Register, it seems, takes a
dim view of modem siding.
One of die criteria taken into account in assessing a property’s qualifications for listing in
the National Register is the historic importance of the occupants. Lyman Wilmot and his
wife were significant in the early development of Deerfield. He was a community leader
and an office holder. They were ardent supporters of the Union and opened their home as
a station on the Underground Railway, harboring escaped slaves. In addition, they
donated the land at Wilmot Road and Deerfield Road for Deerfield’s first school, which
bears their name and where they both served, he as superintendent and she as a teacher.
It was my hope that the historic importance of the Wilmots would be enough to overcome
whatever problems the house presented, and I believe I would have been successful had
not previous owners of the property “modernized” so much.
But in 155 years what else could one reasonable expect?
I have given the Society a copy of the information I developed on the property.

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.

Message from the
Library Director
II is an honor to
-glsst* N
serve this commu
ft
■
\ 1
nity as your new
Library Director.
The Board, staff
and I seek to build
on the solid foun
dation set in place by former
Administrative Librarian Jack Hicks
and the others who have dedicated
themselves to our purpose over the years.
At our recent all-staff meeting, the staff
members and I began by reading our
mission statement together, aloud: “To
provide our community with open
access to the world of information and
ideas, encouraging lifelong learning
and personal growth in a welcoming
environment.” Each day we seek new
ways to make that happen.
Whether we continue to do this in our
present facility, or perhaps by pursuing
a newer facility to meet the community’s
needs in the future, our focus on this
mission will remain the same.
How will you make the best use of
your library—your access point to the
world of ideas and information?
Whether you enter through our glass
front doors or through our virtual portal
(www.deerfieldlibrary.org), we are
here, ready to serve your changing
interests and needs. Make yourself at
home here!

My Favorite Things
Rosemary Sazonoff Writing Contest:
February 1 - February 28
The Deerfield Library kicks off its 11th Annual Creative Writing
Contest in February with a celebration of “My Favorite
Things.” The contest honors the memory of library trustee,
community activist and journalist Rosemary Sazonoff. The
library encourages aspiring authors from 2nd Grade through
adult to participate.
For Adults: High School and above. Describe one of your
“Favorite Things” in a short, unpublished piece of creative
writing. The library will honor adult winners at a reading and
elegant “high tea” at 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 11, at the library. Get entry forms and
more information in all departments and online beginning February 1. To be eligible,
please turn in your submission by February 28, 2007.

Vote for Your Favorite Book of the Last 25 Years
In 2006 the New York Times Book Review invited an esteemed panel to select the best
books of the past 25 years. Now the library wants to know what your favorites are. Will
you agree with the critics and put Beloved on the top of the pile? Or will a new favorite
emerge? Get ballots at all public service desks and online beginning January 2. At the
end of the month, librarians will tally your choices and announce Deerfield’s favorite
book!

New DVD Cases Are a Snap
To help you check out items faster, the library replaced the cases on over 2,000 DVDs. The
best way to remove DVDs from their cases after you’ve checked them out and taken them
home is to open the case and press down on the center dot that says “Push.” The DVD
should pop out of the case easily without cracking.
