I had a Trapper Keeper that had adorable puppies in which I could keep all my 5th grade assignments in impeccable order. Also, my mother was persuaded to buy me some fun glittery Lisa Frank stickers and pencils. I still occasionally pick up a new glittery pen when I take my own kids back to school shopping. The new school supplies motivated me to get ready for the upcoming school year. Best wishes to students of all ages for an engaging and inspiring school year. Fall seemed like the perfect time to survey our community about library services. It has been a few years since DPL underwent a strategic planning process and I’m excited to announce that we are commencing the process this fall! On the back cover, there is a QR code that you can scan to take a quick survey to provide us feedback on what we can do better to serve you. You can also access the survey at https://deerfieldlibrary.org/survey. Your responses will help shape our goals and budgets for years to come. DPL’s mission is to serve our community in the best possible way. After all, we are a public library and exist to serve our public. Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director The MakerSpace: Your Imagination Station In November 2019, we opened the doors to the brand new DPL MakerSpace. We were visited by many curious and creative patrons before we had to shut the doors just five months later, due to the pandemic. Soon after the closure, we were able to arrange for patrons to submit projects that staff would process. When complete, the projects could be picked up curbside. Eventually, we could have one person in at a time to use the equipment. Now, we are happy to report, our doors are fully open for appointments and walk-ins. And, oh, the projects you all have been dreaming up! At the point that Jackie Guagliardo was dreaming up party plans for her soon-to-be dentist daughter’s graduation, the previous issue of this newsletter landed in her mailbox. Jackie read about the cornucopia of creative options, and quickly made an appointment to come in and learn more about the MakerSpace. “The staff was wonderful about working through the many ideas with me,” said Jackie. “Once I learned about all the tools available, I came up with a few more ideas. The staff patiently taught me how to use the equipment, and it was loads of fun.” Jackie is pictured with a few of the party pieces. The vinyl cutter was used to make the framed table signs, as well as the white vinyl teeth on the placeholders. The laser engraver was utilized to engrave “daughter info” in the wooden bases for picture frames. The laser engraver was also used to engrave special messages and illustrations on water bottles used at each table. 2 Just ahead of Valentine’s Day, Ron Swidler created a Jackie Guagliardo and a few of her party pieces created in the MakerSpace. silhouette of his family on his computer (dogs included, of course) as a gift to his wife. Following that success, Ron returned to the MakerSpace with designs of his three brothers’ families to create a collection of silhouettes for his mom’s 80th birthday. The vinyl cutter and the MakerSpace were just the tools and team he needed. The silhouettes were cut from matte black vinyl, then mounted and framed as beautiful keepsake birthday gifts. For an upcoming 60th birthday party, a patron used the embroidery machine to create special napkins, the laser engraver for customized shot glasses, and the button machine for…buttons! What about personalized baby shower gifts, you ask? Bring in some onesies and we’ll show you how to use the vinyl cutter to create iron-on vinyl transfers. Yep, we’ve got the iron, too. A huge birthday (or graduation) banner always adds a spark to a celebration. That’s just what our large format printer is here for, and so much more! Dust off those boxes full of slides, photos, cassettes, and VHS tapes. Our popular Digital Media Lab has all you need to convert that old technology into accessible digital files. With the reopening, we expanded the MakerSpace creative team, so there is always someone here to train you on the tools that will make your ideas a reality. In addition, we have a large offering of classes for enthusiasts at all levels. See page 7 for the upcoming list of programs. Full details about the MakerSpace equipment and use, hours of operation, and access to the online reservation form are available at deerfieldlibrary.org/makerspace. Ron Swidler used the vinyl cutter to transform his silhouettes into framed family gifts. �Adult Programs For full program descriptions, visit the DPL events calendar at deerfieldlibrary.org, click on “Programs”.

We have monthly reading challenges based on the world’s 24 time zones. Our Adult Services staff have created reading lists that you can find on our website or at our service points.

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! of DPL Your Phone = Your Library Card If you have the DPL App on your phone, then you always have your library card in hand.

Video Details on pag e2 �From the Director By now, regular Browsing readers know I grew up in a family of readers, my kids are carrying on the tradition. After all, their mother is a librarian...it’s required. Last week, my daughter came home from school with the Scholastic Book Club catalog. She had circled something on every page. After she was done, my son took another colored pen and circled just as many items. Now, I’m a librarian at a great library with a robust collection! Why would I consider actually buying books? I used this as an opportunity to find out why they want to own books when I can check them out from the library. My son loves all the Percy Jackson books, and my daughter loves the series featuring “Front Desk.” They like that they have the opportunity to take their time to read it and go back to re-read it. They find comfort in the physical book themselves. I was struck by that profound sentiment from my middle school-aged children. And, I started to think about the idea of comfort. We are entering winter in Chicagoland. Some years, it feels like the winter will never end...gray days and bone-chilling cold. But, we have all found ways to comfort ourselves. In my family, it’s with books. Winter is the perfect time to hunker down and find comfort in the small things in life. Happy reading! Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director Individually, they both replied that they like owning their own books, especially if it’s a title that they particularly enjoyed. The Wide World of Video at DPL While the big world of video is always in season, for many people, winter is a time they ramp up their video viewing and gaming. To help you prepare, we want to make sure you know about the rich collections (physical and streaming) available for your winter entertainment. Video Games Are you one of the 227 million in the U.S. that play video games, solo and with others? Per a 2021 report of the Entertainment Software Association, players say gaming inspires, provides mental stimulation, and relieves stress. Our library has a large collection of games for Switch, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Wii, and WiiU. DPL staff is happy to help you discover new games in our diverse collection. Multimedia Librarian Ted Gray, who oversees the video game collection, loves the sports games like MLB The Show, and FIFA. Also, the big open world games like Skyrim, Fallout, and Red Dead Redemption. Adult Services Librarian Anne Jamieson recommends Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Stardew Valley, and Sid Meier’s Civilization VI. For info on the newest additions to the collection, visit deerfieldlibrary. org/games. 2 Videos (Movies, Documentaries, Digital Media Lab: Whatever your preferred viewing platform, we’ve got it!

DPL Patron Jeanne Schlax has been utilizing the MakerSpace to digitize her collection of 80+ 8mm home movies. “We have footage going back to the 1950s. It’s important to convert the films before they fade and get too brittle,” said Jeanne. “The library staff has been very helpful training on the equipment, and I learn more each visit. This gives me peace of mind that our family stories can continue to be shared for generations to come.” Full details at deerfieldlibrary.org/ makerspace.

We have rediscovered a love for the outdoors. During the past year, we took advantage of the hidden gems of natural beauty in greater Chicagoland. However, this summer, we ventured to Rocky Mountain National Park. I’m thrilled to see my children’s reactions to these huge mountains and their energetic enthusiasm to climb to the top! We’ve spent a fair amount of time on this trip driving, and you really get a sense of the vastly different landscape of our country. Of course, I had to pay a visit to a local library as well. Sure, we all serve different communities, but I’ve found in my decades-long career that we all aim to best serve our unique communities. During my conversation with the librarian, I was struck by our approach to similar services. This particular library had a Library of Things collection and they too can’t keep their Wi-Fi hotspots on the shelf! For this trip, I relied heavily on our Library’s Libby and Hoopla apps. If you’re unfamiliar with these services, I can’t recommend them enough. As a librarian, I am thrilled that my kids also love to read. (I think if they didn’t, my “librarian” card would be revoked!) They are thrilled with the comic book selection on Hoopla. On this trip, access to e-books and videos was a lifesaver. It warmed my heart to see my kiddos downloading their books to read on the plane. I’ve always equated fall with a new beginning. We continue to look forward and have learned from the past year. We welcome seeing our community inside the building, while reading and supporting each other. Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director Welcome Back to New and Old Favorites at DPL After a quick pivot when the library building closed on March 13, 2020, the reimagined, reengineered DPL was back up and running. For many months, it was virtual and touchless only. popular demand, we are going to continue with Grab & Go. Check our website for pickup locations at the Library. Now that we are back to our full schedule, seven days a week, let’s get more fully reacquainted. Following is info about new services created during the pandemic, as well as reminders about returning and ongoing activities. We are so happy to have you back! great book or video. Simply fill out a Personalized Picks form (Adults or Kids/Teens), and a librarian will send you a list of books or movies/television shows that are carefully curated for you!

While a portion of our programming will transition back to in-person, for convenience, some programs will continue online. Cooking programs turned out to be one of our most popular virtual experiences. Patrons appreciated being able to follow along with the chef in realtime in their own kitchen. From attendee Karen Grage: “Thank you again for all of the programs you put together for the library. I’ve used my instant pot quite a bit and still learned things tonight. The program worked really well over Zoom and we had a delicious dinner!...That was really fun.” Anytime Videos: The wide mix of videos on our YouTube channel includes programs for all ages. Some are recordings of live Zoom programs, and others are special programs and activities created especially for “anytime viewing.” Magicians, crafts, storytimes, technology instruction, and more.

Due to 2 Personalized Picks: We’re ready to help you find your next Study Rooms & Computers: Study rooms and computers are again available in the Youth and Adult departments. The rooms and computers are available on a first come, first serve basis. Curbside Pickup: When the building was fully closed, we averaged 120 touch-free pickups a day. Curbside regular David Julis shared: “Our family enjoyed the ease and convenience of scheduling pick-up times throughout the day so that we could continue to enjoy reading new and different books!” Now that the building is fully open, the demand for this service is much lower. But we still plan to continue the service for the foreseeable future, and it is currently available Monday-Friday, 10 a.m -12:00 p.m. Adult Books to Go: Yes, we can bring the library to you! Books to Go is a free monthly service for anyone living in the Deerfield Public Library service area who can’t get to the Library due to illness or limiting physical conditions.

These free one-on-ones and check-ins are provided via phone, email, Skype, or Zoom. For more information contact Vicki at vkarlovsky@deerfieldlibrary.org or leave a message at 847-580-8938. PLACE Programs: PLACE stands for Public Library Access and Community for Everyone. These social and educational programs are for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as their parents and caregivers. See page 3 for details about the monthly evenings of friendship and fun. Youth & Teens Read-Along Collection: This brand new collection will include Playaway picture bookpacks, as well as Wonderbooks and Vox Books. These new titles combine a traditional printed picture book with a built-in audio recording, perfect for kids who can’t read to themselves yet, or for anyone who wants to listen to a story! Each book can be replayed dozens of times without being recharged. And don’t worry about recharging them yourself—we’ll take care of that when it is returned. Launchpads: A great way to keep kids engaged and learning all year round. Each tablet comes pre-loaded with themed educational games and activities for specific age groups. Stop by and check them out, and feel free to ask the Youth staff for recommendations. Stay & Play: To support safe play, loose toys and games are still put away. Instead, while in the library, one family group at a (cont. from page 2) time can use a Stay & Play box. There are many different themed boxes with a variety of creative activities. You might want to check out one of the boxes with kinetic sand! The boxes are kept at the Youth Services desk, and are quarantined after every use. Teen Book Discussions: Deerfield teens continued to be active readers throughout the pandemic. Book group regulars Liam and Lucas Ford shared that the move from in-person to a virtual platform still provided a fun time and generated lots of interesting discussions. When asked for a book recommendation from the past year, they gave four thumbs up for Black Wings Beating by Alex London. DPS 109 Partnership: Literary Scavenger Hunt! DPL School Outreach Coordinator Kary Henry partners with DPS 109 school librarians throughout the school year on a variety of engaging projects. During this unique school year, one new online adventure Wilmot students (grades 3-5) got to participate in was a literary scavenger hunt! During the live 30 minute online hunt the rules were: Don’t leave the house to find the object, don’t take anything breakable, and put everything back where it belongs. After Kary showed the cover of a book popular in their school library, and told them the related object to find, students ran to find a fitting example and back to the screen to share. What did they go looking for? One example, for a book about the Titanic, the students had to find something that could float. One of the most surprising items presented: When the students went in search of something that makes noise, one student returned with his baby brother! Everyone got a laugh out of that – even the little brother! This is just a handful of what we have to offer. But you library lovers know that! Feel free to be in touch with any questions.

The community will vote on their favorite photos and the winner will receive a grand prize! Please email photography@deerfieldlibrary.org to submit your photos digitally, or drop off physical copies at the Media or Youth desk. Couldn’t Have Done it Without You! Hats off to all our wonderful S.T.A.R. volunteers for making the library’s summer so productive and fun! Faced with a different type of volunteering than in previous years (virtual and touch-free), teens lent their talents to creating art pieces, including book covers, writing blog articles and Instagram Spotlight reviews of books, and putting kits together for programs. Ten teens served as Book Buddies, partnering with a young student and reading together on Zoom. Our teen volunteers really helped to color our world with reading this summer! Many thanks to the Friends of the Deerfield Public Library for their sponsorship of a huge rainbow of summer projects. This included sponsorship of the month-long Queer Poem-aDay project (deerfieldlibrary.org/queerpoemaday), supplies for the Kindness Garden kits, and prizes for the Summer Reading Program. Their support made it possible to provide our community with a wide variety of new insights and experiences. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Subscribe to our e-news at deerfieldlibrary.org/newsletters �From the Director In 2020, DPL had the opportunity to introduce some new services. Curbside service was one of the best things that came from 2020! In a very short time, we had over 10,000 items checked out and picked up using this brand new service. Our resourceful staff continue to provide this service, alternating with when the building is open for browsing. If you haven’t experienced curbside, you can find more information at deerfieldlibrary.org/curbside-pickup. Staff also learned that with modern technology, we can work with patrons remotely to complete simple tasks such as renewing library cards or even issuing new cards. Once a patron completes the online form, a Patron Services staff member will call to set up a virtual appointment. After the process is complete, we can provide the card number for immediate use of our electronic resources, and the physical card is sent out via the mail. Find details and the application form at deerfieldlibrary.org/patron-registration. The pandemic left many people feeling isolated and disconnected, and many senior citizens and persons with disabilities lost critical social and educational lifelines. With that in mind, soon after closing in 2020, we began offering the Library Lifeline service for free one-on-ones and checkins. These are provided via phone, email, or a virtual platform. We average about 20-25 monthly appointments, and plan to continue this popular service. Read more about the Library Lifeline at deerfieldlibrary.org/accessibility. Finally, we saw a huge increase in program attendance. We always knew that the community loved our programs and this past year has affirmed that. Our staff learned quickly how to offer virtual programs for patrons of all ages. In 2020, nearly 100,000 people attended a program either live online or watched a pre-recorded program. We continue to move forward and look forward to continuing to serve our community. Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director Reading Colors Your World: Explore Art and the Beauty in Diversity The broad motif of “colors” provides a context for community members of all ages to be creative, try new things, explore art, and find beauty in diversity.

R �Discover Deerfield: Local History Tours If “staycation” travel looks to be your focus for summer 2021, let the Deerfield Public Library serve as your travel guide. The Library-curated tours, which cover Deerfield from its founding days to the present, can all be accessed on the Library’s website at deerfieldlibrary.org/localtours. Guide maps and tour information also available at the Library (lower level). Deerfield Public Art Audio and Virtual Tours Our guided walking tour explores the sculptures and paintings publicly on display in Deerfield. You can download the guide map, and using along with the audio tour, take your own self-guided tour. Allow approximately 35 minutes to complete the tour. Another tour option is the 360 video tour, which includes a condensed version of the audio tour, original interviews, and historic photos. Note: The art tour was created in 2017. Updates coming soon. Deerfield Cemetery Tour The Library, in cooperation with the Deerfield Cemetery Commission created two historical “inside the gates” self-guided audio tours. The Cemetery is the resting place of some of the first residents of Deerfield, and is an engaging way to learn about the history of Deerfield. The Veterans Tour includes those from every war from the War of 1812 to Vietnam. The majority of our veterans are from the Civil War, and all fought for the Union. Additional support for these tours was provided by the American Legion Post 738 and the Deerfield Area Historical Society. Please enter and exit through the front gate on Waukegan Rd. Deerfield Train Station Tour The historic Deerfield Road Train Station is the only building in Deerfield on the National Register of Historic Places. But that only came about through the vigorous advocacy of the Deerfield Area Historical Society. Access the tour guide on the website to find out about the building and the engaging history, including a brief appearance in the movie, Risky Business. Summer Reading Logo Design Competition Winner The vibrant Reading Colors Your World logo was created by Deerfield High School junior Noah Fishman. Noah’s design was chosen through a competition organized for artists in the AP graphic design class. Summer Reading Yards Signs We invite you to brighten your lawn or front window with a “Reading Colors Your World” lawn sign. Share the excitement for the kick-off of the Summer Reading Program, a summer full of great reads and fun programs. Signs will be available, while supplies last, beginning Monday, May 24. You can pluck one from the front lawn (Waukegan Rd.) of the Library anytime, or pick one up inside during open hours.

Less than four months after the vibrant grand opening of the Library’s new MakerSpace in November 2019, the state-of-theart facility was silenced due to COVID. It wasn’t long before MakerSpace staff started reimagining the space and how it could still be a vital resource for the community. We recently re-opened the MakerSpace for limited, by appointment only, in-person sessions. But prior to this, and continuing, the staff has been working with patrons through virtual means on a variety of projects. Full details about the MakerSpace equipment and use, and access to the online appointment forms are available at deerfieldlibrary.org/makerspace. Learn more about: • MakerSpace Remote Services: Submit projects for select equipment using an online form. Our staff will then work with you to coordinate dropping off or purchasing materials, remote virtual sessions, and project pickup. Virtual sessions include one-on-one virtual appointments, design assistance, and watching your project run. • Makerspace In-person Services: Limited, single user sessions by appointment only, limited to 90 minutes. Masks are required with additional safety protocols in place. • Maker Video Tutorials: Pick up a new skill with software tutorials created by DPL staff. Where to start? A good place would be to sign up for the Virtual MakerSpace Tour, Wednesday, June 2, 1:00-2:00 p.m. Bring your questions for a live Q&A. Registration is required. Visit the DPL Event Calendar to register: https://deerfield.libnet.info/events. Check the Adult and Youth Programs in this issue for details on more upcoming MakerSpace-centered programs. No experience needed!

Carrier Route Presort Deerfield Postal Patron From the Director There is no end to the ways Mayor Harriet Rosenthal will go to support the Deerfield community, including the promotion of library services and resources. We were so lucky to be able to tap her energy and enthusiasm for the cover photo during a busy and demanding time. Mayor Rosenthal has served Deerfield as an elected official for 36 years, starting with six terms as a Village trustee. She was first elected mayor in 2009, serving three terms. Her continued dedication to service has contributed to the growth and quality of life in Deerfield. Also, the Mayor is a living encyclopedia of Deerfield history, process and procedures, and residents past and present. Her institutional knowledge, as well as her kindness, creativity, and good humor will be sorely missed. ___________________________________ As Mayor Rosenthal says, “What a Deal!” Need we point out how much money you save by checking out the latest books, movies, and music from the library? Physical or digital, it’s here for you. As seen on the cover, here are a few popular library resources you might not know about: Consumer Reports: Access articles from the web version of the popular magazine. Compare ratings for cars, computers, mattresses, and more before your next purchase. Mobile Hotspot: Not everybody has easy access to robust internet connectivity. This strong Wi-Fi connector will provide support for school, business, and entertainment. Typewriter: Time travel back, way back, through the magic of the unplugged keyboard experience. Fun for all ages. Ukelele: Bring live music into your home with this wonderful instrument and instruction book. It’s easy, light-weight, and sounds like a smile. You can find all of these items in the DPL catalog. Consumer Reports can be found at deerfieldlibrary.org/online-resources. For the other items listed above, type “Library of Things” in the catalog search box followed by the item name or just start scrolling. Also, feel free to call or email staff for assistance accessing all these special resources. This is just a nibble of the cornucopia of FREE offerings available to you at the Library. All you need is your Deerfield Public Library card. The smartest card in your wallet (or on your cell phone).

Schedule subject to change. For current hours, see deerfieldlibrary.org/contact. For the past two years, Library staff has researched the pros and cons of overdue fines, including potential usage barriers, efficiencies, and the Library’s bottom line. A first step in this direction was the launch of automatic renewals, which decreased our overdue fine collection. Still, of our 16,301 active cardholders (DPL cardholders and reciprocal borrowers), 1,408 cards are blocked because they have more than $10 in fines and fees. Of these cards, 497 are adult cards and 668 are youth cards. After careful consideration, the Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees voted to eliminate charging overdue fines. This action will further support the Library’s commitment to open access. How will this work? Following is a brief overview, and full details will be shared on our website, social media, and e-newsletter closer to the launch date. Note: Due to COVID-19, the Library has not actively collected fines since early March 2020. In preparation for the switch over on December 1, we are in the process of retroactively eliminating fines, though replacement bills will remain on accounts. Timetable for notices in the Fine Free era will be as follows: 2 days before due: Courtesy notice will be received (email and text only). 2 days overdue: Notice sent. 7 days overdue: Notice sent. 14 days overdue: Notice sent. 21 days overdue: Notice sent and card is blocked. Until items are returned, patron will be unable to place holds, check out any materials, including the digital collection, or use the MakerSpace. 28 days overdue: Billing Notice sent for full replacement cost of item(s). If you currently have any overdue items at home, we would love to have you return them before December 1. With the continued quarantine of materials, the sooner you return your items, the sooner another patron will have access. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

We have experienced so many changes in the past few months and it’s hard to predict the future. I am so proud of how the library staff have pivoted to continue to provide so many services for the community. We have continued to offer a variety of programming including story times, art programs, book discussion groups for both adults and children, cooking classes, and special STEAM programs. Our community loves to read! During our building closure, we saw our average monthly e-book checkouts grow from 4,000 to nearly 7,000 checkouts in the past few months! Our digital video services, Hoopla and Kanopy, have also seen a noticeable increase in monthly checkouts. All these electronic services provide materials for adults and children. Our YouTube channel views have also increased from approximately 2,000 for the month to over 5,000 views. And, our podcast featured some great topics: The 1918 Influenza Pandemic and the Chicago Bulls connection to Deerfield. Our contactless curbside pickup has been wildly successful and we look forward to continuing that on some level as we move forward into the new world of living with COVID-19. This was a service that staff had previously discussed implementing and now was the right time to introduce it. COVID-19 is our new reality. We are planning ahead to provide for programs that can be either virtual or in person. We continue to add digital content to our collection. The DPL staff continues to serve our community with imagination, attention to detail, and a warm smile under their face masks. We look forward to the time when we can serve you both outside and inside the building.
