Summer is here. I invite you to maximize your summer enjoyment with one of the many amazing items in our Library of Things (LOT) collection. If you’re craving an outdoor movie experience, check out a backyard movie bundle. This was an addition to our LOT collection during the summer of 2020 and it was so popular! We have everything you need to host a backyard movie party. The kit comes with a DVD player, a blow-up screen, a blower fan, all the appropriate cords and remote controls, and plastic stakes. Don’t forget to check out one of our new movies too! While we don’t supply the popcorn and candy for your backyard movie night, we have the big stuff you need. We have a variety of backyard games like cornhole, outdoor Jenga, bocce ball, giant Tic-Tac-Toe, and checkers. We recently added a very popular game, Slammo (aka Spikeball). You’ve seen it…players have a little ball that you slam on a small net. We also have added Yard-zee, huge dice with a dry-erase scorecard. Pickleball sets are available to check out for your next trip to a Deerfield Park District pickleball court. Explore the night skies with one of our telescopes, and learn about butterflies and bugs with a nature kit. Finally, we have travel kits with all the things you need to keep the kiddos entertained on your upcoming trip. For our friends that are spending time in the water, we have a fishing magnet. This is a multi-use magnet that is designed for fishing or recovering lost objects underwater. It’s a bit unusual! Enjoy your summer! As always, please feel free to reach out to me at amy@deerfieldlibrary.org with any questions or comments. Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director Find Your Voice: Join the Soundscape of Summer Readers! Our voices have power. We use our voices to share stories, express ourselves, and spark change. Our voices include not only the sounds we make, but the words we write, the art we create, the movements we perform, and the actions we take each day to impact our world. Presented with support from the Friends of the Deerfield Public Library. Children and Teen Summer Reading Program June 10 - August 6 Birth-Grade 12 Make sure your unique voice is heard by participating in the “Find Your Voice” Summer Reading Program! Track your reading, complete activities, and attend programs all summer long. How to sign up for the Children and Teen Summer Reading Program: Register online or at the Library any time on or after June 10. How it Works: In order to participate in weekly drawings and earn prizes along the way, be sure to update your progress each week, either at the Library or online.

Anyone who finishes the Summer Reading Program after it officially ends on August 6 will receive a book while supplies last. Be sure to check out all of the Library’s exciting activities throughout the summer! 2 Grand Prize Drawing: Three winners from each age group (Birth-PreK, K-5, 6-12) will be selected this year for the Grand Prize Drawing. Winners will receive a gift card to the Deerfield Park District or a year-long membership to one of the following Chicago Museums: Adler Planetarium, Art Institute of Chicago, Field Museum, Museum of Science and Industry, Shedd Aquarium. National research from Dominican University finds that students who participate in public library summer reading programs: • Scored higher on reading achievement tests at the beginning of the next school year than those who did not participate. • Spent more time reading over the summer, read more books, were well prepared for school in the fall, and read more confidently. • Reading even just six books over the summer will help keep your child’s mind sharp. Encourage the young people in your life to participate in the Summer Reading Program! See page 12 to meet the artist that created this year’s Summer Reading Program logo. �Adult Programs For full program descriptions, visit the DPL events calendar at deerfieldlibrary.org, click on “Programs”.

That inspired the introduction of this new occasional feature to let you get to know a bit more about the amazing people that work here. Enjoy! • Currently watching: The Night Agent on Netflix, but my favorite shows are Last Kingdom and Outlander. I always return to The Lord of the Rings film series. • Fun fact: I have a degree in Architectural Drafting from my home country, Colombia. One of my hobbies is making custom greeting cards out of parchment. I love dancing and listening to music – English or Spanish – I don’t discriminate. Patricia • Working for DPL the past five years has been like visiting a fair, lots of fun and something new and exciting around every corner. The staff is so friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and supportive. Library Aide • Currently watching: The Mandalorian, Season 3. • Fun fact: I have a PhD in Old Testament studies from Trinity International University, and I teach Old Testament courses part-time for Trinity and Wheaton College. I am a native Texan, who loves the library, barbecue and football (especially the Dallas Cowboys!). By the way, did you know that Texas used to be its own country? • I started at DPL in 2013 as an assistant when I was a student at Trinity. Working with the public was the perfect job to balance with my studies, and in 2018, I accepted the promotion to my current position. Lance Patron Services Assistant Manager • Currently reading: Hell Followed With Us by Andrew Joseph White. • Fun fact: During my free time, I enjoy doing cross stitch projects. Right now, I’m working on a cross stitch of the beloved dog of a DPL colleague. Sam • I was hired in 2018 as a Library Aide, and soon after enrolled to earn my Masters in Library Science from the University of Illinois. Now I maintain our movie, music and video game collections, as well as the Library of Things collection. I enjoy defying the expectations of the things our community can check out from a library! Multimedia Librarian • Currently watching/playing: The Last of Us • Fun Fact: 90% of my free time is spent playing Dungeons & Dragons. My favorite class is cleric! Also, you may see me running around town training for my next half marathon. • I’ve been with the library for the past decade, and am excited for the next decade! If you’ve ever had a local history question, I probably found the answer for you! Anne Adult Services Assistant Manager • Currently reading: The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien, and The Complete Works of St. John of the Cross. • Fun fact: I studied Near-Eastern Archaeology and enjoy going on excavations in Israel. • My favorite thing about the library is our patrons. Life can be tough, and we work hard to meet you where you are at, and help where we can. This can include sitting down together for one-onone tech help, and also my monthly delivery of materials for our homebound patrons. Chase 10 Adult Services Associate � • Currently reading: Aniana del Mar Jumps In by Jasminne Mendez. • Fun fact: I knit and crochet, and the first knitting project I ever finished was an exact replica of the scarf that Tom Baker wore as Doctor Who – it’s a 13 foot long scarf! • As one of the newer staff members, I really have enjoyed my time at DPL and felt welcomed right away. My favorite thing about my role is that I get to help with collection development for the juvenile books and graphic novels. I joke that I still only read kids books for my job, but really it’s my favorite age range. The only reason I met my 100 book reading goal last year was because I read 50% graphic novels! Emily Youth Services Assistant Manager • Currently reading: an Advanced Reader Copy (pre-publication) of Lei and the Fire Goddess by Malia Maunakea. • Fun fact: I love creating handmade cards; last year, I sent out 100 cards! Kary • I’ve been doing storytimes and working with the amazing early childhood educators in Deerfield for 15 years now! It’s also a joy to collaborate with the DPS 109 librarians and staff and do booktalks and other programs for the students. We’re lucky to have such wonderful educators in Deerfield. School Outreach Coordinator • Currently listening to: Three Feet High And Rising by De La Soul. • Fun fact: I am a musician, and have been active in the punk music scene for almost 30 years. • For my first decade at DPL, I worked in Adult Services and probably answered a question or two for you at the Media desk. I also coordinated Books to Go for our homebound patrons. I jumped over to the MakerSpace last year, and am having loads of fun with our staff and creative visitors.

Details on page 2 �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 2 Wilmot students Charlie Plocker and Lucy Bohrer with Library Information Specialist Andrea Lathan at the Tournament of Books voting station in the school library. �Adult Programs For full program descriptions, visit the DPL events calendar at deerfieldlibrary.org, click on “Programs”.

The event is presented by West Deerfield Township, Deerfield Public Library, and the Alzheimer’s Association-Illinois Chapter. Topics: • How does dementia affect an individual and their caregiver? • What “conversations” help people face this disease? • What community resources are available to help? • What can you/your business do to help? The program is open to all. Please register in advance by phone (847.945.3311), online (deerfieldlibrary.org) or in-person at the Library.
