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!

Summer 2020 | deerfieldlibrary.org
Celebrate our Earth with a
special Summer Reading Program

What’s the best way to receive DPL service updates?
Subscribe to our e-newsletter at deerfieldlibrary.org/newsletters
�From the Director
It’s safe to say that 2020 hasn’t been the
year that many of us expected when the
calendar flipped over on January 1. DPL is no
exception. As a source for information as well
as a community gathering place, the Library
has been actively doing our part to flatten the
curve of the spread of COVID-19. We closed
our building to the public on March 13, 2020
and will remain closed until we feel confident that we can safely
reopen the building. This was an incredibly busy day with 7,922
physical items checked out. We were so happy to see how much
the community values the services we provide and how people
wanted to stock up while staying at home.
However, while the physical building has been closed, the Library
staff have been diligently working to continue to meet the needs
of the community by providing new virtual services. Staff worked
quickly to establish lists of resources where people could find out
information about COVID-19, recommended reading lists using
our e-resources collection, digital storytimes and craft programs,
an online chat feature, and book discussion groups.
The Library staff are hard at work planning new and exciting
programs but at this point, we aren’t sure if these programs
will be in person or virtual. We will provide the most current
programming information in our e-newsletter, on the DPL
website, and on social media. If you are not yet subscribed
to our e-newsletter, I strongly encourage you to do so at
deerfieldlibrary.org/newsletters.
We miss seeing everyone in person in the Library! At the time of
this writing, the Library remains closed to the public and we are
planning a safe, phased reopening to the community. Until that
time, please continue to stay safe at home, and use our digital
library resources.
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director
Read Green, Live Green:

you know when we’re ready, so be sure to subscribe to the e-newsletter,
deerfieldlibrary.org/newsletters.

Many thanks to Whole Foods Deerfield for loaning the shopping cart for the lobby
collection for our March food drive. Thank you to our generous community for your
bountiful donations for the West Deerfield Township Food Pantry. Due to the closure of the
Library on March 13, we had to end the food drive ten days earlier than scheduled. The Food
Pantry is in great need of donations, either monetary or non-perishable items. Find more
information at westdeerfieldtownship.org.
We thank the Friends of the Deerfield Public Library for their continued generous support
of the Library. Find out how you can become a member of the Friends, and also upcoming
volunteer activities. Visit deerfieldlibrary.org/friends-of-the-library.
Census 2020:
You’re doing great Deerfield!
At the time we went to press, over 75% of Deerfield
households had responded to the Census online,
by phone, or by mail. Let’s take it to another level...
the 100% level! Have questions? We have answers

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.

MakerSpace-centered programs. No experience needed!

�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!

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.
11. EXECUTIVE SESSIONa. Closed session minutes review and recommendation

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

�When I was a kid, the highlight
of my summer was participating in my library’s Summer
Reading Program. My sister and
I would plead with our mother
to take us to our library so that
we could check out books and
get our points for the prizes.
Little did I know that I was
keeping my brain sharp and
developing a lifelong love of
reading. I can’t help but
wonder if this also played into
my lifelong love of public
libraries.
Fun is Always
in Bloom @ DPL

• A cushioned floor
• Developmental^ appropriate toys that are regularly
cleaned
• Engaging images, a mirror, and windows to the outside
• Hanging mobiles, so that even infants on their backs have
something to engage them
The Baby Garden is an ideal gathering space for
caregivers of little ones, and features:
• A cushioned bench for adult comfort
• Close proximity to the Board Book and Parenting
collections

We are certain you will enjoy this welcoming, engaging, and
safe space to play at the Library.

A RuffRoad, Home: The
Court Case Dogs ofChicago
Tuesday, July 19, 7:00-8:30pm
Real People, Real Stones
is a new series which focuses
on ordinary people with
extraordinary stories.
Not long ago, Chicagoland animals
seized from neglectful or criminally
charged owners were viewed solely
as evidence. They were rescued, but
then languished in a kennel until
their owners’ court cases concluded,
and then they were typically
euthanized. In 2010, Safe Humane
Chicago launched the Court Case
Dogs program - a not-for-profit
group that gets these animals
rehabilitated and adopted. Cynthia
Bathurst, co-founder of Safe Humane
Chicago, will discuss this thriving
program and its team of volunteers,
dog trainers, behavioral consultants,
partner organizations and lastly, the

accept new, gently used, or unwanted/worn, women’s,
men’s and children’s clothing and textiles. All fabrics will
be accepted, even with stains or holes. Nearly 95% of the
materials collected will be repurposed or recycled. You’ll
find a drop box in the West Deerfield Township parking
lot, 601 Deerfield Rd. Donations should be in a closed
plastic bag. More details at swalco.org; click on the
“Clothing and Textiles” box.

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.
