Message from the Director
We are moving right along in our remodeling and
expansion plans. Currently, we are completing the design
approvals process through the Commissions and the Village Board.
We are also looking for a suitable temporary site during construction.
Here is our estimated calendar:
• September, 2011 — Begin creating construction documents
• January, 2012 — Go out for construction bids
• February, 2012 — Move into temporary site
• April, 2012 — Begin construction on remodeling and expansion
• Late fall 2013 — Return to 920 Waukegan
We appreciate the input and feedback we receive from residents along the way, whether through our public information
sessions, emails and comment cards, visits with our Board members at Farmers Markets or just in line at the grocery store!
In discussions about the building project, we are often asked how the Library is addressing the rapid increase in electronic
formats for books and movies. We already have e-books and e-audios available, along with a limited video selection.
Currently, e-book demand is surpassing our available copies. We will soon make more e-book copies of popular titles
available to our users, while still offering a wide selection of new and beloved print books. We are taking these changes into
account as we plan the new spaces for the Library, allowing MORE to be the dominant word—more books through the
combination of print and e-formats, more space to read in a comfortable chair, more room for individuals using laptops,
more private spaces for small group discussions, more space to spread out study materials.
Throughout the changes to come, we will continue to share our developing plans and progress with residents through our
website, print newsletter, Facebook, and other means. We hope you will follow along!

We’re Reading
Together, Again!
Our community-wide reading program, One
Book, One Zip Code, coincides with the 10th
anniversary of September 11,2001, an event
that drives the plot of this year’s selection,
“Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close,” by
Jonathan Safran Foer.
In the book, nine-year-old Oskar Schell embarks
on a secret mission to find the lock that matches
a mysterious key that belonged to his father,
who died in the World Trade Center on the
morning of September 11. This brings Oskar
into contact with survivors of all sorts on an
affecting, often funny, and ultimately healing
journey.
The 10-year anniversary played a big role in the
One Book, One Zip Code committee’s selection.
“One way we learn about the past is through
stories,” says David Hirsch, long time member
of the committee. “Fiction is a powerful vehicle
for us to explore our relationships with each
other and with events like 9/11. One of the most
wonderful things about reading this book at this
time is that it enhances both the experience
of reading and our understanding of the com
plexities of 9/11. We hope that this book adds a
significant layer to the commemoration of 9/11.”
Another way we hope to add a “significant
layer” to this important remembrance is
through our programming. On Sunday,
September 11, following the civic ceremony at
Deerfield Village Hall which starts at 1:30 p.m,
Rabbi Aaron Melman of Temple Beth Shalom
in Northbrook will speak about his personal
experiences as student chaplain of the New
York Fire Department on 9/11. At 6:30 p.m.
on Monday, September 12, at Deerfield High
School, David Hirsch will interview the author
via Skype! Plus, Whitehall of Deerfield will
give away two Nooks and Barnes & Noble
gift cards. Other One Book programs are
highlighted in this issue of BROWSING or at
onebookonezipcode.org.
Special cards for sharing thoughts of 9/11 will
be available at every event, at the Library, at
the Patty Turner Center, at the high school and
elsewhere. People can drop off their cards or
mail them to the Library, which will collect
the cards in a book that will be added to the
collection.
Please join us in reading together, again!

Wright, who played with the blocks

Message from the Director
It’s the little things...
Can you guess the patron
comment I receive most
often? It is the request
for drive-up book drops
outside the Library. In
writing, via phone, or
email, even at social or
business gatherings, someone always mentions
this highly desired convenience. Well, our
Library Trustees and staff members have heard
this request loud and clear, and found a way to
provide it. By the time you read this, there
should be two drive-up drop boxes near the front
entrance to the Library—one for books, and one
for all types of audio-visual materials. I look
forward to receiving your comments about them!
We continue to listen. Our Board members
are going to be available in our lobby and other
public places such as the Farmers Market from
time to time. We hope you’ll stop by and
say hello.
We soon will be holding public sessions to
solicit your feedback about the findings of the
space needs and architectural review of our
building. This will be the opportunity for
residents across the community to have a
voice in the future plans for the Library. Please
consider participating.
We know it takes time to turn dreams and
ideas into reality, so we continue to test ideas
and learn from them. One example is the Teen
area we are creating, adjacent to the
Multimedia collections. We will use what we
learn there to plan even better spaces and
services for teens in the future.
Here is one thing you won’t have long to
wait for—at the end of the summer we will
launch our new automation system. More about
its features and conveniences are detailed in
this edition. We think you’ll be amazed! Our
staff members will help you test-drive the
system at the Library or from home, so you can
make full use of its features.
We are constantly looking for ways to serve
you better. We hope you believe we are
succeeding.
New Library Catalog Helps You Find Your Way!
Find everything you need in the Library’s new
online catalog of books, movies, magazine
articles, and more. The new catalog “goes live”
on August 18. Whether you are in the Library or
surfing from home, you can er\joy this fast, easy
resource on any computer at any time.
The new catalog looks and acts much like what
you find on your favorite retail sites. You can
see book covers and reviews, ei\joy one-click
searching of other area libraries, and sign up to
receive alerts when new items of interest arrive
at the Library. We want to reward your explor
ing. Beginning August 18 you can use your Deerfield Public Library card to
enter an online drawing for a GPS navigation system. If you haven’t used your
Library card in a while, you may need to re-register at our Circulation desk.
Please bring one piece of identification with your current address and we’ll be
happy to update your account.
In order to successfully move from one catalog to another, the Library will be
closed all day Sunday, August 16 and Monday, August 17. Please do not return
materials between Thursday, August 13 and Thursday, August 20. Loan periods
will be extended on all items that would normally be due during that week.
Architectural Review Progress Report
The Deerfield Public Library Board has engaged PSA-Dewberry, an
architectural and engineering firm, to evaluate our current Library and
report the findings to the board and community. The process includes:
• assessing the current building structure and systems,
• conversing (focus groups) with representative members of the community,
staff, and board about perceived current and future needs,
• evaluating space needs and trends in libraries, and
• comparing our library building, staffing, circulation and other key
measurements with peer libraries serving similarly sized populations.
A preliminary report of the building found that the structure appears solid,
although the building systems need significant upgrades or replacement. In
addition, building codes have changed since the 1970s when the current
Library was built. The architects expect to finish the current space needs
assessment and report to the board, staff, and community by summer. We
plan to hold public sessions to review the architects’ findings and recommen
dations, and to solicit your feedback. Afterward, the Library Board will
determine any next steps that may take place.

him for this role. In his free time, he is “plotting” to write a novel.
Rebecca Wolf, Head of Automation
—Illinois
As our former Circulation Manager, Rebecca’s strong technology and people
skills led to her role as project manager for our new automation system and
the development of a strategy for updating our computer hardware.
Implementing those projects and strategies has become a full- time job!

Message from the Director
We call it “the dead of winter”...
That dormant time
-when the world appears
to be asleep under the
blanket of snow.
H \1 fe* it
Experienced gardeners
know, however, that
important changes are
occurring in plants and animals, preparing
them for spring when the world will be full of
life and change.
So, too, inside the Library we are busy
planning our new automation system and
conducting preliminary discussions about
options for remodeling. Right now, there is
not much to see. Nevertheless, these early
steps are fundamental to help us launch
the new plans during the spring and
summer months.
In other areas our activities are quite
evident, even in the winter months. These
include our expanded programs and services
to children and their families, often in
coordination with local schools. Staff
members, including our new Teen Services
Librarian, regularly visit classrooms and
other student gathering places. They share
books, an activity or two, and information
about Internet safety.
Back inside the Library, we now offer
color printing and copying, for just 10 cents
per page! You can even print from your own
wireless laptop computer. Our staff members
are happy to show you all the features and
simple-to-use instructions for our new copiers
and printers. In response to your requests,
we also offer longer sessions on our desktop
computers, if other patrons are not waiting.
Even with these expanded services and
programs, we are ever mindful that BOOKS
are what draw many of you to the Library.
Come and get a fresh armful to keep you cozy
until spring is really here!

Number 4
2009: Listening Is an Act
of Love ed. Dave Isay
“... Our stories—the stories of everyday people—
are as interesting and important as the celebrity
stories we’re bombarded with by the media every
minute of the day. If we take the time to listen, we’ll
find wisdom, wonder, and poetry in the lives and
stories of the people all around us.”
So begins the introduction to Listening is an Act ofLove, the 2009 selection
for Bannockburn, Deerfield, and Riverwoods’ “One Book, One Zip Code”
community reading project. The book is a collection of some of the most
meaningful of the thousands of stories collected by StoryCorps—the country’s
largest oral history project—since their founding in 2003. Many other stories
have run on National Public Radio.
At the heart of StoryCorps is the conversation between two people who are
important to each other. By helping people connect and talk about the ques
tions that matter, the stories in this book are powerful, and sometimes, even
life-changing.
This spring, along with our community partners, we are pleased to present a
series of programs that will support a continuing conversation about
Listening Is an Act ofLove and provide opportunities for readers to share
stories of their own.

Message from the
Director
In the darker
days of winter, I
ff
appreciate the
«•.
golden light
that pours forth
from a friendly
window. Is
there anything more welcoming?
Recently, I was walking back to the
Library after an evening meeting.
Through the glowing panes, I saw
the Library full of people engaged in
a variety of ei\joyable activities.
kiv
Record-breaking attendance,
climbing circulation figures,
increasing demands for our meeting
rooms and for tables throughout the
building—something is going on
here!! Even we have been a little
surprised at these dramatic increases.
No doubt the shaky economy is one
reason - the Library is a terrific
family-entertainment resource. We
hope the many positive changes and
improved access day and night, here
or from home or office, are
contributing factors as well.
In this issue you will discover many
new reasons to come to the Library
and information about our plans to
make it even more inviting. Be sure
to see the Board’s announcement of
our plans to update the Library.
Whatever your plans are for the next
few months, we hope that you’ll let
us extend a cheery hello to you this
winter.

Library Board Engages Architectural Consultant
Last year the Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees decided to stay in downtown
Deerfield at our present location. Although it appears that our 37-year-old building is
structurally sound, we continue to hear from members of the community that it is time
for an update. More than just updating the worn and outdated interior, it is time to
rearrange our space to make better use of the building and reconfigure it to meet the
needs of our community. Included in this improvement plan is the possibility for a
small addition.
The Board has engaged the services of a Chicago-area architectural firm to review the
current building systems and structure in detail, evaluate the use of space and evolving
programming and service needs, and conduct community focus groups. The purpose of
this process is to generate ideas and build consensus about the vital services and space
needs of a dynamic community library. The architectural firm will use this information to
develop a set of proposals to enhance our current building on Waukegan Road. These
alternatives will be presented to the public for further discussion and analysis.
As we write this, the dates for these activities are being planned. We invite you to
watch for further announcements and we welcome your ideas and comments at any time.

One Book, One Zip Code

The heart of StoryCorps is the conversation between two people
©
who are important to each other: a grandson asking his grandmother
__J
about her childhood, an immigrant telling his friend about coming to [
America, or a couple reminiscing on their 50th wedding anniversary.
By helping people to connect and to talk about the questions that
matter, the StoryCorps experience is powerful and sometimes even life-changing.
Last year, representatives from Bannockburn, Deerfield and Riverwoods planned and
presented our first “One Book” program. Last year’s book was Mountains Beyond
Mountains, by Tracy Kidder.
This spring, “One Book, One Zip Code” partners will once again provide readers with
opportunities to come together at locations throughout the community for discussions,
lectures, and interactive events related to the book.
Parents, look for a kid’s version of “One Book” coming this spring!

�Staff News
Welcome Emily Compton,
Head of Reference
If Emily looks familiar, it is because she
has been a librarian with us for just
over a year. After a multi-state search
for a new head of reference, we
realized that we had to look no further
to find exactly what we needed. Emily
has a strong commitment to excellent
reference services and nonfiction
readers’ advisory, as well as offering
virtual services via our website. She
appreciates the skills and experience
of her coworkers, and together they
form an impressive team.
Welcome Sheila Urwiler,
Head of Multimedia
Sheila joined our new Multimedia
department in late September. She has
extensive experience in customer
service and staff training, and she
recently made the career change to
librarianship. Currently a student
librarian with a passion for music and
movies, she will complete her MLS
degree in December. Sheila has many
ideas for the expansion of the media
collections and services, so let her
know your areas of interest!
Best Wishes to Juanita
Nicholson, Reference
Librarian
Juanita will retire in late November
after dedicating five years of superb
service to the Deerfield community.
Over the years you may have noticed
her displays, complete with Victor the
penguin, or you may have made a
delicious meal with a cookbook she
selected for the Libraiy. Juanita’s
passion for research and teaching is an
inspiration to library users and staff
alike. We will all miss her kind attitude,
engaging stories, and undying patience.
Thank you and best wishes, Juanita!
