We were involved with bricks and mortar, computers, landscaping and elevators and still managed to add over 10,000 books, videos, audio cassettes and... new this year DVD’s and books on CD... and to serve all your information needs. Our Community where hundreds took passports behind the scenes to view each department; music, beanie baby prizes and food were pop­ ular! The Bristol Renaissance Faire visited us in May, taking us back to the 16th century as Queen Elizabeth Tudor knighted the children, townspeople picnicked on the lawn and music and dancing provided a leisurely contrast to our 21st century. Programs We held 61 adult programs, including several co-partnered with the Deerfield Fine Arts Commission, Deerfield Area Historical Society, U.S. Foreign Policy Association and North Suburban Library System. We offered income tax assistance, flu shots, voter registration, free July 4 lemonade, Ravinia passes, the 4th annual Rosemary Sazonoff Creative Writing Contest, 15 classes on using the Internet and monthly Librarian in the Lobby, our “in person suggestion box”. We served Deerfield schools and students with our annual Student Government Day, where we learn along with our teens, and with library instruction for junior high students. Youth Services Reading Roundup has been a rousing success for 2-8th graders, and Exploring Art Through Literature workshops are the talk of the town. Crafts and storytime are popular Family Fun Night activities. Library visitors from the Chinese Academy of Sciences said, “If only we had something like this for our children in China!” Other projects finalized this year are lobby and entrance remodeling to meet ADA stan­ dards, rebuilding of an elevator, and rebuilding of the west garden (Youth Services area), Cell phone use was banned to make the library more peaceful Progress Plans for the future include a revamp of the AV room to become more accessible and attractive: new lights and proper shelving for books on tape, videos and DVD’s Jeff Blumenthal was appointed to the library board to replace Yvonne Sharpe in 2000. Bill Seiden also served in 2000 as presi­ dent of the North Suburban Library System. In 2001 Bill Seiden and John Anderson will leave their Deerfield Library board positions and a 2001 spring board election will bring changes to the makekup of the library board. We were saddened at the death this year of Tony Sabato who retired from the library board in 1997 after 19 years of service. During 2000, Glenn Poch was selected Head of Technical Service and spearheaded new computer installation. Better equipment and response time has brought us up to speed for the 21st century and we shall continue to enhance our collection, and provide valuable service to our community. Projects Readers of all ages pledged to read 100 books in 2000 in our Century Readers Club. By December, 5000 books were read and a reception was held for those ach.ev.ng this admirable feat.

To many of us from my gen­ eration he is remembered as a very talented and creative man who, if he did not invent late night televi­ sion, certainly put his mark on it. The late night talk show hosts as personified by Jack Paar, Johnny Carson, Jay Leno, David Letterman, or Conan O’Brien owe much to Steve Allen. Their format and style is one that he invented and perfected. His talent and origi­ nality have never been equaled and his presence will be missed. A man for all seasons, he was a composer, a comedian, a writer, an actor and a serious thinker. He was a Chicago boy and his death speaks to my youth. Old timers like myself always talk of the “golden age of televi­ sion” with reverence. Whether reverence is deserved or not is beside the point. We remember it that way, and there is no way to convince us dial TV is alive and well and better than ever. I clearly remember the first television event that I ever saw—the Ezzard Charles and Jersey Joe Walcott title fight of 1948 or ‘49. continued on back page n urt',°e ---- Library Entrance Lobby Redesigned A brighter and more welcoming entrance to the library will soon be completed by architect D.F Wrobleski, who was the architect for the library’s lower level Fiction Room and Youth Services Department. Wrobleski said this was required to be in compliance with ADA standards. The original floor’s surface had become very irregular and dangerous. “This is an opportunity to install a new, light colored floor and doors to increase a sense of welcome to the library. Furthermore, the exterior concrete was cracked by winter snow melt and is being replaced with a more decorative stone and brick. Two stone planters will be installed to separate the building from the parking lot” he said. For those fond of the front lobby water fountain, a memorial to Deerfield’s Donald McCabe, be assured that it will remain; it will be redesigned a little smaller to make the library more accessible and will be set on a circular rose marble base to make it safer for traffic in and out of the library. Since the ADA required renovation, the library board took this opportunity to enhance and update the library lobby and make the entrance safer for everyone. Blumenthal Selected for Library Board Jeff Blumenthal, a Chicago native who has lived in Deerfield for 11 years has been appointed by the board from among a number of applicants to fill the unexpired term of Yvonne Sharpe. Sharpe, a board member since 1992, has moved to Riverwoods. Blumenthal, a civil litigation lawyer for Foran & Schultz, spends a great deal of time in the library, “It’s my home away from home” said Blumenthal who loves to read and often brings his wife and three children. He is a graduate of Northwestern where he majored in liberal arts and has his law degree from the University of Pennsylvania. Village manager Robert D. Franz (left) swears in Jeff Blumenthal as a new library board member.

I watched with my Dad at a local saloon; the bartender confided to us that he had a lock on TV in my hometown, “because he got into TV on the ground floor.” I think that set had a six inch circular screen and the bar is now a parking lot. Reminds me more than a bit of today’s dot.com frenzy. So much has changed in American life in the past fifty years it is impossible to get a frame of reference or to see the scope of those changes. Certainly the younger generation has no idea what we are talking about when we use terms like “Stalin ” “cold war” or “golden age of tele­ vision." Why should they? For them man has always been on the moon, they have always had cell phones, pagers, and post-it notes. Viet Nam is a country, not an issue tearing generations apart. They have no idea what it meant to say “I Like Ike” and really love a presidential candi­ date. The young don’t know Watergate, maybe Iran-Contra and the Gulf War..... events distort­ ed by TV. In a way, television is a microcosm of the past fifty years. It started off simply, got our attention, developed a persona, went from black and white to color and took off in complexity and controversy. The first coast-to-coast broad­ casts were events everyone watched with awetelevision could span the continent. Many of us sat transfixed by Joseph Welch and Joe McCarthy. There were the first presidential debates, the moonwalk, the assassinations. At the same time TV got very shallow and compli­ cated, losing its originality in the quest for cor­ porate profit. Style and content went by the wayside and the medium was branded a “Vast Deerfield Public Library 920 Waukegan Road Deerfield, Illinois 60015 Deerfield Public Library' Jack Hicks, Administrative Librarian Library' Board Sue Benn, President David Wolff, Secretary William Seiden, Treasurer Ken Abosch Jack Anderson Jeffrey Blumenthal Sunday Mueller Library' Hours Mon.-Thurs: 9:00 am - 9:00 pm Friday: 9:00 am - 6:00 pm Saturday: 9:00 am - 5:00 pm 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm Sunday: Editor: Sally Brickman Wasteland.” Edward R. Murrow, our best TV newsman, warned that without standards televi­ sion was nothing more than “lights and wires in a box.” In many ways the real golden age of televi­ sion is now. Cable, satellite dishes, DVD, com­ puter animation, and now instant live program­ ming delay are all significant technological advances. Picture quality and program availabil­ ity are nothing short of sensational. There is something on television, cable, or dish twentyfour hours a day, seven days a week. Events that happen half a world away are instantly shown on TV as they happen. It is absolutely a techno­ logical marvel, but somehow we are poorer for it all. The media can show us events, but puerile analysts cannot tell us what the events mean or why it happened. TV reality has become, after all, a light show in a box with all the intelli­ gence and integrity of a kids video game. So the passing of Steve Allen has special poignancy for those of my generation. His talent and originality are missed; we are left with a void not met by corporate minions. Lights in a box will never challenge us, inspire us, or make us laugh. I believe the golden age of TV is now because of the stupendous technology, but I also firmly know the golden age of talent has long since passed. Jackie Gleason, Edward R. Murrow, Ernie Kovacs, Steve Allen, to name only a few, are talents we will never see again because they could never slither through the fil­ ter of the corporate sieve. I recommend Hi-Ho, Steverino! by Steve Allen for a glimpse into this American original. — Jack Alan Hicks Administrative Librarian Non Profit Org.

Many of our adult programs this fall are “partnering” and highlighting Deerfield businesses, organiza­ tions and individuals who make our community richer. | fjjpSG f8«lbi Yvonne Sharpe, library board member since 1992, will be retir­ ing from her board position because she will no longer be a Deerfield resident. Board presi­ dent Sue Benn said, “She has been a loyal and active member for many years and will be sorely missed” Mrs. Sharpe chaired the library’s building committee for all the years of library renova­ tion. She came on the board to fill the unexpired term of Wilbur Page and thereafter was elected and re-elected. Sharpe’s unex­ pired term can be filled by board appointment until the 2001 vil­ lage election. Anyone interested in this temporary vacancy may contact the library business office. 1 To provide faster, better and more contemporary computer services, the library will be leaving the computer consortium of Morton Grove, Skokie and Waukegan. This change presents new challenges but more importantly will free Deerfield of the restrictions and impediments of the consortium. This will allow us to present more up-to-date computer services and access at higher speeds. It should permit wider access to books and materi­ als. Specifically, the library will offer more web-based products, easier home and remote access, better catalog access and faster and cleaner telecommunications. There will be more service outlets and more terminals offering modem services at high speed. We are in the process of signing a contract with epixtech, a Provo, Utah based firm, for the next computer system which should be operational before May, 2001. This system will supply all the familiar, easy-to-use services such as catalog searching, telephone renewal, check out and circulation functions well known to our clients, and supply a home page with links to appropriate library sites, full text magazine indexes and remote access to library resources. This system will be funded through the use of Tax Increment Financing and will not require a tax increase or bond issue. Administrative Librarian Jack Hicks said, “We have listened to our residents’ sugges­ tions and feel sure the new system will meet their needs and expectations whether they are in the library or gaining access from home.” Library board president Sue Benn feels “The public will be pleased with the high speed computers and new services; this is a real step forward in providing information and web access for the community.” □ “The Rat Pack” was among hundreds of photos taken by Deerfield’s Art Shay.

The response from the peeved musician was, “...that’s great, I only like 18th century science.” Listening recently to a golden oldies radio station I was struck by the idea that maybe popular culture is not shaped by the best a society offers but what is "remembered”— or imagined — as the best. Is this to make us comfortable with events that might have been painful? Maybe pop culture can’t stand critical scrutiny. The talky disk jockey kept up a constant patter about the songs he was playing; recounting minutiae from the rock stars’ lives, incidentals about the recording sessions, and the marvelous night he had actually met the stars in question. The guy went on and on, yakking and playing the music he claimed defined a generation. The only problem was my wife and 1 are members of that generation and that was not the music we listened to at all; in fact most of his songs were nerd anthems, or worse, just plain banal junk. Which raises the question: do we invent our past in our own image and likeness or is it just nostalgic mythmaking? Does this shield us from a harsher reality? Some of the problems are that the disk jockeys aren’t old enough to have experienced these events, or are too addled to remember them clearly. What sells and what is accepted and extolled today becomes yesterday’s top hits. This doesn’t apply to rock and roll only, but to the big band era as well—and I suspect all eras—equally. A look at any Variety Top 40 songs often reveals the oldies that are so popular today—and are supposedly reflective of the times—were not at the top of the charts, or even mainstream, at the time. The people who trade and revel in nostalgia are more affected by time and society’s bias than they are by the absolute accuracy of the memories or the quality of the product, (except in the case of Jack Benny) Recent movie lists that purport to define the “best ever” movies have been so far off the mark as to be laughable. I think any compiled list of “best” movies should only be made by people over fifty-five years old, who have actually seen the full movie in a theatre where they paid full price to see the film. Any film seen in a film class or at a film society should be instantly disqualified because this all adds up to revisionist history at its worst: pop culture peddled by pasty faced, soft handed, trendy types. These are the same people who define Stravinsky and Bartok as “modem” music even though their works are a hundred years old. Is classical music suspect as well? Is that why snobby aficionados walk out or snub modem composers? Could be. Now we all know about revisionist history, how an event will change with the telling over time, until a breakthrough historian will produce a thesis that is a direct contradiction to historical fact and reality that somehow comes to be accepted as insight. Revisionist history ought to have anoth­ er name: bad history. A recent and widespread spate of revisionist history has poured forth regard­ ing the World War II generation—even to the point of being called “...the greatest generation” by gushy writers like Tom Brokaw and Stephen Ambrose. We owe those boys a lot, but let’s not puff up reality; the vets from WWII deserve better than that—they deserve the truth, our eternal grati­ tude, and a monument in Washington, D.C. I have always wondered how that generation would have reacted to the divisive, emotionally charged, and morally ambivalent times of Viet Nam. Sometimes it is easier to do the right thing when the choices are clear cut, or in fact there are no choices. A casual glance at the Viet Nam era discloses at least a half a dozen myths or outright untruths that have grown up and thrived, perpe­ trated by well meaning revisionists, which have entered our collective conscience as reality. Which leads me back to a lighter vein, that gabby disk jockey with his comball alternative reality. We don’t need to invent an idyllic past or create fake, artificial heroes; we have them today because today are the good old days and they are good enough.

June 12-August 11 Librarians are fond of authors I who are originals, one-of-a-kind, who establish themselves by the uniqueness of their work. Edward Gorey was just such an author who lived up to his apt name. A large man who wrote small books about obscure and often mordant themes that featured a self-mock­ ing peril: books that never failed to entertain. Gorey began as a self-published small press author who graduated to mainstream recognition through a series of illustrated books based on bizarre situations—swooning damsels in distress, doomed, helpless little children, menacing gargoyles and rose bushes, labyrinthine hedges, doors to nowhere—all drawn up in an elegant black-ink Victorian style. Dark and macabre maybe, whimsical and poetic always. He is widely known as the illustrator of the PBS TV series “Mystery.” Even if you have only seen a sin­ gle Gorey drawing you will never forget it. Gorey claimed he only wrote about real life; if that is true, what an odd and unique life he led. This is not an ode to Edward Gorey who died in April, but a continued on back page o Adults: Attention armchair travelers!

Where does imagination and creativity come from? How does one person embody so many ideas while so many folks have none? Gorey demonstrated with his slim books that it is not necessary to grind out thousands of pages to be creative—it is the quality of the ideas, the originality of the product, the insight of the imagination that produces a book of lasting interest. Gorey was in effect Charles Dickens in reverse—small books versus huge books— but the results were the same; rich memo­ rable characters and settings that grip our imagination. Where do we stumble across those qualities in today’s life? Certainly we spend a lot of time reading popular mass market fiction, watching movies and TV, or surfing the internet—but in all of these, creativity seems to take second or third place to marketing strategy. Of course there are exceptions, and cre­ ativity that sells a product is fine, but does it have the same social worth as creativity for its own intrinsic worth? I am afraid that our senses have been dulled over the years so that our ability to identify and recognize creativity when we see it has been seriously diminished. Maybe there truly is no market for originality; or don’t people real­ ize the difference between good, bad, and boring anymore? Worse, do we recognize brilliance when we see it? Or, do we as a society fail to reward creativity, uniqueness, and originality? Gorey contrasts so clearly with formula writers who chum out endless best sellers—yet offer no Deerfield Public Library 920 Waukegan Road Deerfield, Illinois 60015 m i;iii h i ■ill— Jack Hicks, Administrative Librarian Mon.-Thurs: Friday: Saturday: Sunday: i._...... 9:00 am - 9:00 pm 9:00 am - 6:00 pm 9:00 am - 5:00 pm Closed Editor: Sally Seifert Jack Alan Hicks Administrative Librarian Non Profit Org.

Worse, I guess, is sit­ ting transfixed by internet, watching screens that offer nothing original, in fact which resemble slow moving electronic comic books. Internet has yet to live up to its potential, though I am sure it will. But will it be a power for creativity or just commercialism? Albert Einstein said in 1939 that “If science, like art, is to perform its mission truly and fully, its achievements must enter not only superficially but jjjfrix with their inner meanings into W®, the consciousness of people.” 1 ^ The surSe P°Pular culture /U® veers away from that paradigm. So much of our popular culture today springs from just those sources—mass market v books, TV, movies and of course the internet. Where is the writing, the thinking, the creativity? Please don’t tell me the best brains of today are all in e-business because if they are, we are in a lot of trouble as a society.What do we have? Tedious authors writing best sellers—dim witted and formulaic. The bottom end of TV is an endless parade of mindless pop-culture, single­ message messianic “gurus” who offer us simpleminded solutions to life’s more vexing problems. Movies seem to be all about car chase block­ busters with no scripts. All this is forgettable, while a single Gorey drawing stays in your mem­ ory forever. Talent versus no talent. In an era of clones, Gorey proved one thing; no one can copy him. And please WTTW—no more gurus— aaargh!

The issue is a lot more involved than the wrong animal in the wrong place at the wrong time, or the sanctity of the life of a single deer; it reaches into the deepest recesses of our ecological system and our con­ science. The problem is more complicated than either side of the protagonists seem to grasp or admit. The shooters’ solution is both cruel and simplistic because it does nothing to permanently change the ecosystem—the deer will simply return. The anthropo­ morphism of these deer is proba­ bly an even greater sin because these animals are not little people running around in furs and they deserve an environmentally sounder and a much more digni­ fied defense. I understand and sympathize with both sides of the quandary. Everyone agrees that this is one of the most beautiful animals on earth; but it is felt to be a menace to safety, health and gardens by one faction and the living incar­ nation of wild nature by the continued on back page YEAR OF RENEWAL FUN! d Library Week, Open Mouse 2-4 pm, Sunday, April 9.

As a person who has been treated for Lyme disease, I get a bit fearful because the disease con­ cern is seldom even mentioned. What absolutely stuns me is the level of emotional froth both sides can chum up when there is a far greater travesty right in the middle of the controversy; in fact, a river runs through it. The Des Plaines River. If you don’t know the Des Plaines, a one day paddle by canoe from north of Libeityville to Deerfield Road will delight and amaze you; or try any of the extensive trails. One hundred years ago a kid could swim and fish in that river. It was a pristine, crystal clear stream; home to beaver, otter, mink, pike. Eels, who were born in the Sargasso Sea, migrated there to spend their summers. Deer, bear, cari­ bou, elk, badgers, wolverines and most likely buffalo once roamed its shores. Many older Deerfield residents still reminisce about the old Des Plaines swimming hole. It is a river of sub­ lime physical beauty—lyrical really—reduced in stature by the level of junk we allow to be pumped, dumped, or drained into it. Starting in our backyards it flows all the way to the Gulf of Mexico trailing our debris. The river is now home only to the bottom feeding, lowly and shunned, carp. If we are concerned about the deer, we should be mortified by the water quali­ ty of this beautiful river. I know that everything pumped, dumped, or oozed into the river meets or exceeds all the EPA standards; but the cumulative effect is something of which we should all be ashamed. I would suggest that in the first decade of the 21st century there is absolutely no reason or excuse to put anything into our rivers and streams. We must do better. Fifty years since the publication of Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring we seem to have changed little and learned less—showing the same passion for the life of this river as we show for the life of one deer would be a starting point. Surely the river deserves life as much as any single creature—more, because it touches upon thousands and thousands of lives. Ryerson Nature Preserve is one of this region’s most wonderful treasures, well main­ tained, scenic, a step back into another era. A perfect counterpoint for me to the digital age. To walk on Ryerson’s paths is a privilege I recom­ mend to everyone. But I always come back to the river. Sitting by the little falls at the dam in a drifting snowstorm transports you to silent forests and distant vistas. The pungent odor of chemicals always spoils my reverie and brings me back to reality. Is this the legacy we leave our children? In the optimism of the new millen­ nium and the digital age can’t we find a solution to clean water so that voyageurs of a future age can share the experiences with the voyageurs of the past? I challenge any doubter to take my infallible Des Plaines River test. Go to the dam in Ryerson, fill a 12 ounce glass with the water spilling over the edge and drink it. If you can’t do it, tell me why. The book I am recommending this month is Annie Proulx’s Close Range about life on the harsh plains of Wyoming.

Those words have a special resonance for me. This month marks the end of almost eight years of remodeling and renovating the library. The intimacy I have had with this building in those years has indeed shaped me. I would like to think the building is now in as good a shape as it was when I first came to work here twentyeight years ago. All departments have been renovated, the ADA code has been addressed, a new elevator has been added, and new boiler system has been installed. On December 12, we will rededi­ cate our refurbished Youth Services room, named in memory of Dr. Diego Redondo. In many ways the past few years have been like playing an extended game of Snakes and Ladders or an object lesson in the herding of cats. Anyone who has ever supervised a home remodel­ ing project will understand exact­ ly what I mean. I am now on a first name basis with electricians, plumbers, painters, carpenters, continued on back page Year of Renewal This is Deerfield Library’s official theme for the year 2000.

It has been my privilege to work with four gifted and talented architects: Cecil Gobeaux, Don Wrobleski, Karl Sugihara and Scott Javore. A special thanks to interior designer Juele Blankenburg. It has been an interesting odyssey. The library staff and Board could not have been more helpful or supportive. The foresight of Mayor Forrest and the Village Trustees made all of our renovations possible. These projects were carried out with the use of Tax Increment Financing and did not cost the taxpayer any money. The library incurred no debt—and no new taxes. Two remarks stand out in my memory that shaped the mind-set of the entire project. They stand out because of their easy wisdom. The first was from our former Board President, Tom Parfitt, when our ADA building audit had been done by O’Donnell, Wickland, Pigozzi and Peterson. We needed to change and alter many things in our building to be ADA compliant; frankly this would cost a lot of money and dis­ turbed everyone on the board. We named our Fiction Room for Tom because of what he said that night, “This is not a set back, this is an opportunity.” The second came when we were in the design throes of the lobby renovation and the architect was describing how a double-hung door (which we now have) fully complied with ADA because of the low pressure needed to open it. Yvonne Sharpe got right to the point by asking. “What if the patron doesn’t have any hands?” So we added an automatic door, too. I believe those two insights defined everything we Deerfield Public Library 920 Waukegan Road Deerfield, Illinois 60015 Deerfield Public Library Jack Hicks, Administrative Librarian Library Board Sue Benn, President David Wolff, Secretary William Seiden, Treasurer Ken Abosch Jack Anderson Sunday Mueller Yvonne Sharpe Library Hours Mon.-Thurs: 9:00 am - 9:00 pm 9:00 am - 6:00 pm Friday: 9:00 am - 5:00 pm Saturday: 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm Sunday: Editor: Sally Seifert have done in the past eight years. Do the thing right, in spirit as well as statute. Not the cheap­ est, not the most expensive, we chose the right way throughout the whole project. Bill Seiden always kids me about the six Family Day Parade 1st prizes I have in my office. I am proud of them because they make it clear how this library relates to and reflects the community and residents. This library is part of the community. We help kids learn to read, do story hours, provide fiction books, answer refer­ ence questions, teach research skills, help plan science fair experiments, teach the Internet and do puppet shows. We supply all our Deerfield residents with their reading needs and informa­ tion needs and provide lifetime learning. So, as Winston Churchill said, we shape our buildings and thereafter they shape us. The bricks and mortar period is over. Now the hard part begins—planning for the future. The Board and staff will not waver from that responsibility. It will take hard work and courage to develop a vision for the future. Technology, remote access, fiber optic networks, distance learning, and computers will shape our future. To have a vision and plan in place will take study. The revitalized Youth Services Department reflects our commitment to the young people of Deerfield—our future—and the room makes some promises. It promises chal­ lenge and reward, service and wisdom, comfort and warmth. Most of all, I pledge that it promis­ es an entrance to the future for all our children. *3 — Wck Alan Hicks Administrative Librarian Non Profit Org.

There will be much activity in the Youth Services Department this summer. The summer read­ ing club, Time Trek Readers and numerous activities (see page three) will be humming along during major department renovation. At least one portion of the area will be kept open to patrons at all times and, when necessary, programs will be held in the upstairs meeting room. Donald F. Wrobleski of DF Wrobleski Architects will be principal architect for the renovation. Wrobleski was architect of the remodeled Fiction Room, and he will be extending the 20th century modernist classic design and palette of light and materials of the Fiction Room into the Youth Services area while specifics will be different. New carpet and furniture, more win­ dows and angled (faux) sky­ light should brighten the room without structural work. Stack space for books will increase by 1/3. “The idea is to make it more comfortable, efficient and organized” said Wrobleski. The project should be completed by fall.

Library News North Suburban Library System (NSLS) Director Sarah Long, Riverwoods attorney Bruce Huvard, Deerfield Administrative Librarian Jack Hicks, NSLS president Robert B. Lyons. At the North Suburban Library System Annual Banquet, Library Advocate Awards were presented to Jack Hicks, Bruce Huvard and William Seiden (Library Board Treasurer) for establishing a private library corporation in Riverwoods, giving residents with no library service the opportunity to obtain access to full library services at the Deerfield Public Library. �Across the Librarian’s Desk I n 1968 a friend of mine, Rowland Higgins, who now teaches mathe­ matics at Cambridge, England, wrote a letter to the London Times suggesting that all Olympic competitors—from all nations—march and compete in identical white uniforms. This view was not dri­ ven by post-modern nostalgia but by a genuine fear that amateur sport was becoming far too politicized and profes­ sional. The letter was printed in the crank file. How prescient Rowland was. The Olympics truly did descend to perilous political depths as Iron Curtain countries and western democracies struggled with each other for political dominance. The result was every imaginable attempt to subvert the spirit of the Olympic Creed and the rules of fair competition as state run machines immersed themselves in blood doping, drugs, surgeries, gender ambivalence, ruthless competition, bro­ ken lives- making the Olympics a sham. The end of the Cold War did not end the abuses, merely transferred them to the commercial arena. The day 30 year old, hardened, professional basketball players suited up as the “dream team” was a low spot for amateur athletics. The charm, naivete, innocence and the purity of ama­ teur youth was replaced with professional greed—and not just on the part of the athletes. The warning signs were there but we chose to ignore them in our lust for gold medals. What a descent from 1936 when Eleanor Holm Janett was dis­ missed from the Olympic swimming team for drinking champagne on the boat to Europe. Perhaps there is no value in innocence, amateurism, or honesty any longer. Corporate giants around the world turned the Olympics into a bottom feeder’s food frenzy. Logos, sponsorship, glamour and hype attached themselves permanently to the Olympics at America’s 1984 Los Angeles gala and provided a fatal poison. continued on back page Adult Programs Programs arefree but reservations are requested Beethoven at Ravinia Wednesday, June 23, 7 p.m. Dr. Brennetta Simpson, 4^ Assistant Dean & Director of l Undergraduate ^ Studies at / Northwestern University School of Music discusses Beethoven.

In the April 13 Deerfield consolidated election, three Deerfield Library board members were each elected to six year terms. John Anderson and Yvonne Sharpe were re-elected to the Board and Sunday G. Mueller won the third open position. Mr. Anderson has been an active library board member for 22 years; Mrs. Sharpe, for seven years. Mrs. Mueller, mother of four, is an avid library user who is active in the schools and American Association of University Women. Across the Librarian’s Desk continuedfrom page 2 Many of these sports companies exploit vir­ tual slave labor in Third World countries; since that is unpalatable we avert our gaze. Instead of a once-in-a-lifetime experience for wide-eyed young athletes, jaded profes­ sionals now make a living out of being full­ time Olympians, appearing at Olympics after Olympics until they are too creaky to make a go of it, effectively denying youth and innocence a chance. The other extreme is twelve year old gymnasts with severe overuse injuries, and anorexia, from too many hours on the bars. Shame, shame, on all of us. Sunday/Holiday Closings Closed: Sundays beginning June 13 through September 5. On Sunday, July 4 we will be serving lemonade for Family Days.

We all know the benefits of a burgeoning economy, but—and this is a big but—there are places where greed, money, bribes and corruption do not belong. They do not belong in any way, shape, or form with the Olympics. Coiporate power has no place in amateur competition. Proof of this point is the irony that the last great moment in sports for the U.S.A. was the completely amateur team that won the Editor: Sally Seifert The disgrace now brought to the Olympics by the Salt Lake City bribery scandals reveals a worldwide free-fall from ethics and standards. It seems now, in the aftermath, that everyone involved either takes bribes, pays bribes, looks the other way, or just doesn’t care. Bribery and corruption are, of course, a way of life in all too many coun­ tries. The whole point of the Olympics was designed to prove that honest, fair, competi­ tion in sport, could be a starting point for honest, fair dealings between nations. What the Olympics has become is a mirror of our­ selves, nationalistic, grasping, greedy—a charade, not a pretty picture. Perhaps the Olympic motto of Higher, Faster, Farther should be replaced with “just get it.” Is it too late to try Rowland’s idea of white suits? Jack Alan Hicks Administrative Librarian You Deserve the Best, and so do all our other borrowers: Would you believe? We send out $100 in postage weekly for overdue notices (it used to be $15 a week). Damaged library materials number into the thousands per year. Water damaged books start a major deterioration process. When cassettes are left in the sun in a hot car, tapes melt. A dog chewed comer shortens the life of a book as pages break down. Sometimes we get books that have taken a bath along with their borrowers...not good! Patrons must pay for damages plus a processing fee. Could everybody please be more careful with library materials?

Focus on Youth Services Department Now that the finishing touches are being put on the main floor renovation, architect Scott Javore, the board and the staff are setting sights on renovation of the Youth Services Department. Newly appointed department head Chris Kopeck said, “I am very excited about the upcoming renovation. We are planning to keep the department child friendly, but also make it more inviting for young adult patrons. We plan to separate the young adult fiction and will be adding a study carrel and window seats. We will be increasing shelf space in both the picture book room and the juvenile area. New carpeting and bright colors will highlight the room. We will also be doubling the number of display cases. The department will remain open during renovation, offering the same quality service, and we want to thank patrons in advance for their patience.” Chris Kopeck was selected from among several candidates for the position of Head of the Youth Services Department. She holds her Master’s Degree in Library Science from University of Illinois and worked in a public library in Orlando, Florida prior to being hired as a children’s librarian in Deerfield a year ago. “Over the past year, the community has made me feel wel­ come” she said, “and I look forward to serving them in this new capacity. If you have comments or suggestions about improving service, please talk to me or put a note in the suggestion box at the front desk.” Librarian in the Lobby 9 - noon, 2nd Saturdays, September 12, October 10, November 14.
