Message from the Dii’ector
Building project update
As this newsletter goes to
print, we continue to
evaluate possible sites for
our temporary location,
including creating
preliminary floor plans to
test for suitability, and
exploring lease rates and conditions. Once
the final location is agreed upon and the
lease signed, we will make only the minimal
changes necessary to meet building codes
and make the spaces usable for our
purposes. Nothing fancy! We will also obtain
a special use permit from the Village to
operate the site as a temporary Library.
*r*»;*'m
LAV
Our move from the current building to an
interim site is planned for late spring. Some
meeting room functions and programs will
be curtailed around mid-December, as we
begin packing and preparing for the move.
Be assured that as soon as we know where
we’re going to be, we’ll let the community
know all the details, including—
importantly—how we will continue to
provide great service.
We’re also moving forward with the
renovation of the current Library, including
making final design decisions for the
interior, selecting the color palette with
floor and wall finishes, and creating
construction drawings for the project. We
have selected Mortenson as the
Construction Management firm.
You can follow our progress on our website
and Facebook, or by attending our board
meetings. Please see our website for dates,
times, locations, and prior board meeting
minutes, too.

E-book Collection E-xpands
The demand for e-books is skyrocketing, and we are making
a^ustments to better serve you. For example, we are
dedicating more dollars to extra copies of titles for which
there are long waiting lists, and ONLY Deerfield cardholders
will be eligible for those added copies. This will lessen the
time our patrons spend waiting for a popular e-book. We will
also temporarily adjust our materials budget while we are in
the small temporary space to purchase additional e-books to
meet demand.

Book Discussions
((l LOVED this book!”
December 8,10:30 a.m.
What better way to end the year than by discussing our faves—the books
we read this year that we loved, that we couldn’t put down, the books that
we told our family and friends that they HAD to read? Please come
prepared to talk about the book—or books—that you loved.
Looking ahead, the Library’s book discussions will be taking a hiatus this
winter as we prepare for our move to the temporary location. Please watch
for information about the dates and locations when the book discussions
resume in the spring. If you are interested in participating in an online
book discussion, please contact Melissa at reference@deerfieldlibrary.org.
Ask Us via Text or Instant Message
You can now contact the reference desk via text and instant message (IM), in
addition to phone or email. Text and IM are perfect for resolving quick factoid
spats like who was Harry Truman’s vice president, what was the name of that
book about the circus magicians or answering that last minute question before
book club. Send an instant message straight from our home page or text us at
847-790-4TXT (4898). We look forward to hearing from you—no matter how you
get in touch!
Want the First Season of Bones? Get it All-in-One!
Have you ever looked for the latest season of your favorite show only to find that
disc one was checked out? This fall we started packaging television seasons
together rather than splitting discs into individual cases for checkout, so you
won’t miss an episode! As always, we welcome your feedback about this and any
other changes here at the Library.
Meeting Room News
Our busy meeting rooms are going to be put to a different use while we gear up
for the move to the interim site. Because both the large meeting room and the
lower level conference room need to be dedicated to staging, sorting, and
storage of moving materials, we have reluctantly decided that we won’t be able
to take reservations for meetings held after December 15th.
Our apologies to all the homeowners associations, non-profit, civic and
educational groups, boy scouts, girl scouts and more that keep our meeting
rooms hopping. We’ll look forward to seeing you back in our newly refurbished
meeting space in 2013!

researcher Bill Kiddle, and see what everyday life
was like and how dramatically it would change

reached Deerfield from and about their loved
ones? Join us for an hour that will make this
150th anniversary year local and personal. A
partner program of the Library and the Deerfield
Area Historical Society. □
Who Knows What Evil Lurks
in the Hearts of Men???
If you already know the answer to
that question—or if you want to—
check out the Radio Classics
available as e-audiobooks at the
Library. It’s easy:
1. Go to the Library’s home page
and type in Radio Classics in the Search field.
2. In the Format box on the left side of the page,
click on e-audiobooks.
3. When you make your selection, click on the
information located to the right of the first
arrow underneath the title. It will take you to
My Media mall where you can start
downloading to your computer or other device.
If you need help downloading, stop by the
Reference or Multimedia Desks for help!
�Go Beyond Google
• • •
Sometimes, you just need more information—or you need to be sure that the
information you're getting is accurate, current and reliable—than the
results of an “I’m feeling lucky” Google search. Here are two true stories
featuring websites recommended by ourfully-qualified research
professionals, also known as Reference Libranans!
MedlinePlus
Recently, I had a patron ask for information on diabetes. The patron was just diagnosed
and looking for reliable information but without all the medical jargon. In addition to our
books (located in non-fiction, call #616.462), I introduced the patron to my favorite go-to
place for medical information, medlineplus.gov. I love this site for several reasons. First,
it is specifically written for patients, their families, and friends creating one of the most
easily understood medical information sites out there. Second, it is produced by the
National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health making it one of
the most reliable places to obtain information about diseases, conditions, and other
medical issues.
MedlinePlus has three very helpful sections, “Health Topics”, “Drugs & Supplements” and
“Videos and Cool Tools”. “Health Topics” is like an encyclopedia and provides an overview
of the topic including symptoms, treatments, prevention and much more. The “Drugs &
Supplements” section answers questions about why a medication would be prescribed and
how it should be used. The “Video and Cool Tools” portion offers interactive tutorials and
videos regarding specific topics. After reviewing these segments, the patron was thrilled
with the information we discovered! This resource provided the patron with an easy to
understand explanation of diabetes without dumbing down the information. As a bonus,
the patron felt much more confident about what questions to ask the doctor during the
next visit.
CNET
AARP Tax-Aide Moves to
the Patty Turner Center
AARP Tax-Aide—a free tax help
service the Library has hosted for
many years—will relocate to the
Patty Turner Center as the Library
begins its own relocation to an
interim site. Starting February 3,
IRS certified volunteers for the
AARP will be on hand every
Tuesday and Friday through
April 13 from 1-4 p.m. at the
Patty Turner Center, 375 Elm
Street, 847-9404010. You don’t
need to be an older adult, a member
of the AARP, or the Patty Turner
Center to receive assistance. Please
bring copies of last year’s returns
and all tax forms you receive (W-2s,
1099s, etc.). Please call the Patty
Turner at 847-9404010 starting
Monday, January 30, to make
an appointment.
A patron needed some help choosing a tablet computer. She was going on vacation and
needed something that would allow her to watch a movie on the plane, check her e-mail,
and read an e-book, and it still had to fit in her bag. After taking a look at Consumer
Reports online (available free to Deerfield cardholders on the Library’s website), I
introduced her to CNET.com, a website known for its technology reviews and how-tos. She
watched videos of tablet shopping tips and reviews, compared web speed and battery life
of different models, and read thoughtful reviews from CNET editors. She was able to
search through the list of tablets by price range, manufacturer, screen size, and more. She
found two that she really liked and she was going to see what they looked like in person at
the store. She was a happy camper!
CNET is a great way to stay up-to-date with technology. They review everything from cell
phones to GPS systems to digital cameras. Their video reviews are especially informative,
since they spend time going over the whole device, showing off all the buttons and
demonstrating how it actually works. They also offer a lot of information and advice on
what to purchase and how to use it in your daily life. It’s an interactive website with
videos, podcasts, and more traditional articles. They invite readers to post comments and
suggestions, so there’s plenty of real-world feedback as well. The website can seem a little
busy, with all of the different information they’re sharing, but they do make it easy to
search by category or by reviews, videos, and how-tos. I would definitely recommend this
website to anyone interested in up-to-date tech reviews and information, and especially
for people who get more from watching reviews than reading them.
Toys for Tots
Drop off new, unwrapped toys in the
Toys for Tots collection box in the
Library lobby now through
December 15th. This annual drive,
sponsored by the U.S. Marine Corps
Reserve, has been putting smiles on
the faces of needy youngsters for
over 60 years.. .be a part of it!
Hint: Books make GREAT giftsfor
kids of any age!

�Library Improvement
Plan FAQ
Q: How are “green” practices and
energy-saving features being
incorporated into the Library
Improvement Project?
The Library—staff and Trustees—and
the professionals at PSA Dewberry, are
all committed to making the renovated
building as green as possible. Here’s a
list of items already incorporated in
the plan:
• We will monitor construction
activities for possible pollution in
and around the site.
• Additional green spaces will be
added to the parking lot.
• Many native and drought tolerant
plants will be used in landscaping.
• There will be secure bike racks near
the building to encourage
fewer cars.
• To reduce heat-island effect the roof
has a high solar-reflectance index.
• The interior lighting will be light
harvesting and occupant-sensing.
• Restroom fixtures will be low-flow.
• We will allocate space for increased
recycling.
• Where possible, building products
and finishes will incorporate
recycled materials.
• Where appropriate, building
materials and products will come
from within 500 miles of the site.
• Adhesives, sealants, primers, paints,
etc. will be low in volatile organic
compounds.
• Where possible, flooring and
furnishings will be low-emitting as
well.
• The design team includes LEED
professionals in architecture,
engineering, and interior design.

What’s Next? That is a P'
A
question I field many
times a day from
residents interested in
knowing how our construction plans are
coming along. Our design process is just
kicking off. The Library Board is seeking
input from a variety of sources to refine
the design concepts. In the near future,
we will also begin the Village Commissions
approval process. Consistent with our
commitment to keep residents informed
and involved, we are planning a community
meeting this spring to share the renderings
of the design to that stage. This would
include the interior, exterior, landscaping,
and energy plans. Please watch for
announcements of the date and time.
At
Although actual construction is still far
off, there are sounds of construction near
our Circulation department as we install a
RFID system for patron convenience and
improved accuracy. A new interior “window”
has been created. Library materials returned
through that window are automatically
checked in, reducing error and getting
materials back to the shelves more quickly.
We are also combining our Teen and Media
service desks into one unit at a more
convenient location for improved service.
Look for our new, welcoming Information
desk and hot beverage vending near the
Library entrance, and patron-oriented
checkout stations in Youth Services as
well as at the Circulation desk. (Thanks
to the Friends for purchasing the first of
three new stations!) We welcome resident
feedback to make these services even
better in the new construction.
Bottom line: We never stop seeking ways
to better serve our library patrons and
community.
Faster, More Accurate Service
with RFID and Self Check
As the Library plans for a large-scale renovation
project, we are making a series of service
improvements that will have immediate benefits
for our patrons before implementing them in a
reconfigured building.
We have recently put Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags in all of our
materials to increase the speed and accuracy of checking items in and out of
the Library. RFID will check in items instantaneously, with nearly 100%
accuracy. Items will automatically be sorted upon check-in and get back on the
shelves and into circulation more quickly.
RFID tags will also allow patrons to quickly and easily use new checkout
machines installed on the Library’s upper and lower levels. Self-check stations
help patrons get their selections out the door and home to eqjoy sooner. Staff
members will be available all hours of operation to assist patrons with these
new stations.
Patrons who require assistance with library card registration or questions about
their account will now be able to take their time working with a circulation
staff member away from busy checkout lanes. In addition, an Information desk
near the front gates will also help patrons get speedy responses to our most
frequently asked questions.
Implementing RFID at this time will also greatly improve the Library’s ability to
keep track of materials during an extensive renovation project. Read more
about the Library’s next steps in the Message from the Director.
Where’s One Book, One Zip Code?
Discussions and events tailored to the 2011 community-wide \
reading program selection, Extremely Loud and Incredibly
Close by Jonathan Safran Foer, will take place this fall to

photographs, obituaries, and advertisements.
Coffee, Tea, and Quiet
A new hot beverage station on the Library’s upper level now offers a wider variety
of coffee options. Coffee will sell for 25$ per cup and cups of cappuccino, mocha,
or hot chocolate are only 50$ each. This unit replaces the carafes of coffee that
were available in the Fiction Room.
Moving the busy beverage station out of the Fiction Room will help reclaim that
space for patrons looking for a quiet place to study, read, or just relax. Readers’
Sendees staff still look fonvard to talking to patrons about books; they’ll just be
using their “library voices.” Please help us keep this space one where peace and
quiet are a priority.

Message from
the Director
Thank you, Deerfield!
The recent approval of
the Library’s request for
funding for the Library
Improvement Plan is a win for everyone
in Deerfield. This gives us the
opportunity to improve our library
building and services, which will benefit
the entire community.
We have begun to get questions about
how soon we will proceed. There are
many steps to be completed and
approvals to be obtained as we move
forward. For example, we need to complete
the architectural designs, and then
share them with Village Commissions as
part of the approval process. Certain
questions or concerns may require some
adjustments to the design or other
changes. When the approval process is
final, we will need to go out to bid for
construction, then evaluate the bids to
assure we are getting the best value and
quality for the project. At best this
process will take several seasons, if all
goes smoothly.
We appreciate the ongoing interest of
our residents, and we will continue to
keep you updated via our Facebook and
Website pages. We received very positive
feedback about our openness during the
referendum, and we plan to continue
sharing our progress with you along the
way. Of course you are also welcome to
attend Library Board meetings, or read
the minutes of these meetings on our
website. Keeping you informed and
involved is important to us, so please
share your questions and comments
along the way.
Mary Pergander
Library Director

Library Improvement Plans Move Forward
The November 2 referendum for $11,775 million to fund the Library Improvement
Plan was approved! Over 58.4% of Deerfield voters voted yes, with 41.5% voting against.
The plan calls for improvements to the Library building and services, in order to
meet the needs of Deerfield residents for the next 20 years or more. Space will be
reorganized, remodeled, and expanded. The building layout will become more open
and flexible to allow for changing needs and multi-purpose uses. Adults will have
more quiet reading areas. Additional computers will be added for adults and children,
and a new Technology Lab will offer instruction and workshops. The Youth Services
area will be improved, along with a larger and better designed Youth Program Room.
All restrooms will be ADA compliant. Self-check kiosks and a convenience center will
be added, and the meeting room will be enlarged. The building’s aging infrastructure
will be upgraded or replaced, and the parking lot will be improved.
“The vote is a win for everyone in Deerfield. This gives us the opportunity to improve
our Library building and services, which will benefit the entire community,” said Ken
Abosch, President of the Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees. “The Library
Board is grateful to eveiyone who provided ideas and feedback as we developed the
Library Improvement Plan. We also want to thank Deerfield residents for the time
they took to become informed about the referendum.”
The Board will proceed with the Libraiy Improvement Plan in the most expedient
and efficient manner possible. There are many steps involved, including finalizing
architectural design, reviewing of the plans by Village commissions, completing
construction documents, and bidding the various phases of construction work. It’s not
possible at this time to say exactly when construction will begin.
Please check the Library’s Web site for the latest information about implementation
of the Library Improvement Plan.

A recent study of
north suburban
libraries demon
strated that usage I—
is up at nearly all libraries. This
trend is repeated across the
United States. At Deerfield Public
Library, circulation this year is
running over 22% ahead of the
same period last year, and nearly
55% higher than the same period
two years ago! At this rate, we
expect to reach the level of
500,000 items checked out annually
within the next year or so. Many of
you have commented about the
increased level of activity in the
Library, and we are seeing
increased usage via our Web-based
services from home and other
places as well. We hope you feel
the same pride we do in the
popularity of your hometown
library.

Library Remodeling Update
On September 22, 2009, about 30 people attended an information session about the
Library’s recent space needs assessment and facility analysis. The questions posed,
and the Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees and architect responses are
available on our Web site. The Board appreciated the many thoughtful interactions
that took place, and invites others to comment as well.
Recently, the Board engaged Ehlers and Associates to help evaluate the Library’s
current financial status, expected cash flow for the future, possible future financial
needs, and possible sources of funds for the proposed project. The Board is taking
the current economic climate and other factors into consideration as part of the
planning process.
One Book, One Zip Code
The 2010 “One Book, One Zip Code” selection for adults
and high school students is Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi.
Satrapi’s award-winning memoir of growing up during
Iran’s Islamic Revolution is a graphic novel, laid out and
illustrated like a comic book. Her charming black and
white illustrations help the reader see the countiy’s
dramatic changes. The constant “but, why?” of childhood
is the perfect vehicle for exploring the world-changing
events of 1980s Iran.
This is the third year for the “One Book, One Zip Code” pro
gram. Previously, the communities of Bannockburn,
Deerfield, and Riverwoods came together to discuss
Mountains Beyond Mountains and Listening Is an Act ofLove.
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, films, and other interactive events related to the book. Learn
more at www.onebookonezipcode.org.
If your book group is interested in reading Persepolis, a trained book group leader
from the Deerfield Public Library can come to your group for free to lead the discussion.
Call Karen Kleckner at (847) 580-8950 for more details.
�Programs are free and open to the public. Please register in advance at
under “Programs & Classes” or by calling (847) 945-3311.

Israeli Politics and Democracy
Wednesday January 20, 7p.m.
Labor, Likud, or Kadima? Who is in or out in Israeli politics? Pomerantz

present the picture of a country that loves politics as much as it
loves soccer.
Women in Israel
Wednesday February 17, 7p.m.
A look at the different sectors of society—the religious, the orthodox,
the urban educated, and the working mothers. Where are Israel’s women
today? Clips from television and movies help show how much or how

Message from the Director
Some folks say that
winter is the dull
season, but not at
Deerfield Public
*
Library! We’re
ablaze with all the
possibilities we envi
sioned when our Library Board and
management team met recently to dis
cuss service expectations and emerging
trends in society. Now, we are using
what we learned to plan for an exciting
transformation.
■
One trend we are addressing is the desire
for convenient, personalized services. You
want your library resources and services
available when you need them, not just
when we are open. Now, you can place
your own holds, request e-mail notifica
tion about library materials, and down
load e-audiobooks. You can even have
program updates, new titles in your
choice of interests, and the New York
Times Bestseller List e-mailed to you! Not
sure how? We’ll be happy to get you started.
We shared the news about new Library
services this fall at many community
events. A presentation to the Chamber of
Commerce, booths at Community Services
Day and the 50+ Expo, visits to the high
school, and support of Arts & Riverwoods
are just a few examples of our ongoing
involvement in our community.
Throughout this newsletter you’ll read
how partnerships with local organizations
and businesses also have helped create
new grant opportunities and a communi
ty-wide book discussion. We aren’t just
joiners—we’re doers! Invite us to YOUR
next community event!

New Year’s Evolution
What have we resolved to do even better in the New Year? The Deerfield Public
Library wants to exceed your expectations! We are creating new ways to serve
the community, and we’re enhancing the Library collections and services that
you and your families tell us you love. Some of the innovations you will notice
right away are an expanded Multimedia department, “Reading Warriors: A Guys
Read Program” for boys in 3rd - 5th grade, and “One Book, One Zip Code,” a
community-wide reading program for adults.
Multimedia Department
Did you know that Deerfield Public Library patrons checked out almost as many
discs and DVDs as books last year? The Library is responding to this demand for
audiovisual materials by increasing staff and services in its new Multimedia
department.
You’ll find
• More staff members specially trained to
answer your questions about movies,
music, and more
• Reclassified CDs to make finding the
right items easier than ever (Next, we’ll
reclassify the audiobooks and separate
them into fiction and nonfiction.)
• New formats—including *Wii games,
*Playaways, and *downloadables
• Multiple copies of popular items
• Musical scores and media-related
magazines
*MediaSpeak
Wii: Nintendo’s most recent video
game console, distinguished by its
wireless controller
Playaways: Portable MP3 players
preloaded with one audiobook each
Downloadables: Text or audio files
that can be downloaded to your
computer and enjoyed at home or
transferred to a portable device
Reading Warriors: A Guys Read Program
Girls continued to outperform boys in reading this year, according to a recent
national study. Deerfield Public Library wants to address that trend and encour
age reading and library use among elementary school boys next year, with pro
grams and services supported by a Library Services and Technology Act grant of
$2,876. The Library will use funds awarded to “Reading Warriors: A Guys Read
Program” to survey boys in 3rd—5th grades on their reading preferences; offer a
workshop led by an expert on boys’ literacy for parents and teachers; and
increase the number of “boy-friendly” books, booklists, and programs the Library
provides.
�Adult Programs
Programs are free and open to the public. Please register in advance by calling 847-945-3311.

Dear Neighbor:
This past year, a group of volunteers formed The
Friends of the Deerfield Public Library, a not-forprofit organization dedicated to enriching the
library’s materials, services and programs. Our
first project is to raise $1,200 to purchase
Playaways, ready-to-go digital audiobooks which
are about the size of a deck of cards.
Our group has been involved in several activities
to establish our presence in the community. To
introduce ourselves to the community and provide
information about our group, we assisted the
Library with several of their events. We maintain
the book spinner at the Deerfield Train Station,
which has provided hundreds of free used books
to commuters. In September we had a booth at
the Farmer’s Market and at Deerfield Community
Days. In addition, we recently assumed responsi
bility for the sale and maintenance of the
ongoing used book sale at the Library.
Please help us in our efforts to assist the
Deerfield Public Library by becoming an annual
member of the Friends for $15 or more. We
welcome and appreciate all donations. Your gift
is tax-deductible as allowed by law.
THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND OF THE
DEERFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY!

Income Tax Forms
Why was the Library closed?
A limited number of the most-used tax forms
for individuals will be available in the Libraiy
beginning in January. Get all federal forms at
imw.irs.gov or by phoning 1-800-TAX-FORM
(1-800-829-3676). Get all Illinois forms at
iwow.tax.illinois.gov or by phoning
1-800-356-6302. Small-business owners and anyone
needing multiple copies of forms should place
orders directly with the federal or state govern
ment for home delivery. Income tax assistance will
be available from IRS-trained AARP volunteers at
the Library from 1 - 4 p.m. on Tuesdays and
Fridays from February 1 through April 15.
We realize it is inconvenient for you when we are
closed and you need us. From time to time, we
close in order to provide staff training that can
help us better serve you. For example, last June
we learned about fire safety and practiced using
fire extinguishers! In October, all employees had
an orientation to our basic reference services and
also learned the steps we will follow to transition
to a new automation system next year. We try to
keep closures to a minimum and to use the time
wisely in ways that ultimately will benefit you.

Message from the Library
—
Director
Our mission, in part,
is to provide you
with open access to
the world of infor
mation and ideas.
Sometimes, we bring the world to you!
For example, Deerfield Public Library
is very excited to be hosting the North
Central 0 Gaugers Model Railroad
Club. Train lovers of all ages will delight
in seeing this enormous model train
layout and its villages, bridges and
flashing signals on Saturday, March 24,
from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Don’t miss it!
Another way we will bring the world to
you is through programs about “bou
tique” libraries. These are the jewels of
small, public-access libraries in the
Chicago-metro area, offering highly
specialized collections. For example, in
April we will reveal the treasures of the
Lenhardt Library of the Chicago
Botanic Garden. In May, we will spot
light Lake County’s William D. Block
Memorial Law Library and its valuable
resources. Learn about other unique
libraries in the months to come.
</°l^e
Number ^
The Trains, the Trains!
Saturday, March 24, 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.
The Library is the place to be when the North Central 0 Gaugers roll into town
with their gigantic 12 by 20 foot model train layout. Ring the bells, lift the gates,
load the trains, and swap stories in this daylong event for all ages. Special sur
prises include a drawing for a free small train set sure to delight any child!
The exhibition will feature a wide variety of passenger and freight trains, from
historic steamers to prototypical modern diesels. Guests of all ages will enjoy
the excitement of the sights and sounds of an interactive, operating model train
layout. Hands-on opportunities will allow attendees to experience the thrill of
running the trains wirelessly. NCOG Club members will be on hand to answer
any questions visitors may have.
Expanded Computer Services
For your convenience, we now offer in
library access to Microsoft Office prod
ucts: Word, Excel, PowerPoint and oth
ers. We are preparing to launch new
services, too, such as e-audio books,
email notifications, and new payment
options via credit card. Watch for fur
ther announcements this spring.
The library now offers Microsoft Office programs such as Microsoft Word,
PowerPoint and Excel to the public. Microsoft Office is available on all public
computers designated for Internet use. Patrons may use these computers for the
Internet, Microsoft Office, or both. Internet access and Microsoft Office usage is
FREE to everyone. Deerfield cardholders and guests using these services for the
first time should register their library cards (or receive guest cards) at the
Reference Desk. Computer usage is now expanded to 90 minutes a day per person.
Finally, I want to thank outgoing Board
member David Wolff for his nearly 18
years of dedicated service to the com
munity and the Library. You will be
missed!

�Joan Bairstow, Head of
Circulation, Retires
It’s no cliche to say that Joan
Bairstow will leave her mark on
Deerfield Public Library. From
putting barcodes in books 23 years
ago to working behind the
Circulation Desk since 1985, Joan
has handled nearly every book, CD,
DVD, and video game in the
Library’s collection. She will retire
on May 25, 2007.
While raising her family in
Northfield, Joan helped create a
Friends of the Library group that
established the Northfield branch
of the Winnetka Public Library. The
branch relied largely on volunteers,
and Joan did everything from paint
ing walls to helping patrons. In
1984, she made the leap to paid
library employee when she came to
Deerfield Public Library to help
barcode the library’s collection.
After the barcoding project was
complete, Joan joined the
Circulation Department full time.
She quickly moved up to Assistant
Head of Circulation and has been
the Head of the department since
1998. Joan has eqjoyed many
aspects of her job, especially work
ing with the patrons. “Many are
friends at this point. We worry
about them when we don’t see our
regulars for awhile.”
Though she will miss being part of
special moments like helping a
child get his or her first library
card, Joan is looking forward to
the many activities her retirement
will allow her to eqjoy. Joan has
children living on both the East
and West Coasts and plans to make
frequent visits. When at home,
she’ll be taking classes and enjoy
ing her membership to the Chicago
Botanic Garden. And, her friends at
the library hope, coming back to be
waited on from the other side of
the desk.

You Gotta Have Friends

tion for the materials and services available from the Library; to supplement
Library services, programs and materials

and needs; and to provide fundraising and
advocacy for the Library. The Friends

New Youth Services Librarian
Mary Scholtens joined the Youth Services
Department in January. Mary recently
graduated from Dominican University with
a Master’s degree in Library and
Information Science, with a concentration
in youth services. Mary has been reading
ever since she can remember and her
current favorite book is Chasing Vermeer
by Blue Balliett. Ait is another one of
Mary’s interests, particularly pottery. Mary
did her undergraduate work in ceramics at
Hope College in Holland, Michigan, and
she currently spends her spare time

Acknowledgments
Deerfield Public Library gratefully
acknowledges the many monetary gifts it
received through the years in memory of
Amy Simon. These donations were primarily
used to purchase materials for the Youth
Services Department “to expand knowledge of the world and its people.”
Recently, the family and friends of Olivia
Lucy Yang donated to the Youth Services
Department in Olivia’s memory. The
Library selected Asian-themed books and
language CDs for children.
In addition, the family of Carolyn Colburn
designated Deerfield Public Library as a
recipient of gifts in Ms. Colburn’s memory.
The Library has since purchased several
books in her name.
The Deerfield Woman’s Club has also regu
larly contributed toward adult books in
memory of its members.
The Library is honored to be the recipient
of these memorial gifts.

Do you check your email more frequently
than your voicemail? Would an email
reminder about soon-to-be-due books help
you rearrange your errands? This summer,
the Deerfield Public Library will make email
notification available for patrons who prefer
to learn about holds or overdue items via
email rather than a phone call. The library is
looking for 100 VOLUNTEERS to help test
the system before it launches in June. If you
would like to preview this service and receive
email notification about your library account,
please send an email, including your full
name and library card number, to
Enotification@deerfieldlibraiy.org.

You’ve Got Books!
In January, the Libraiy asked patrons to vote for their favorite book from the last 25 years.
Adults voted for everything from Pulitzer Prize-winner Lonesome Dove to book group
favorite My Sister's Keeper. Children, on the other hand, filled the ballot boxes to the brim
with the same beloved titles. The book with the overall largest number of votes was Harry
Potter. (Not every voter designated which Harry Potter book, but it was clear that Harry
and his friends at Hogwarts were number one with readers.) Second place was the popular
fantasy Eragon, and third place went to The Berenstain Bears.
