Judy received her undergradu­ ate degree in history from the Uni­ versity of Wisconsin, and Masters Degree in library science from the University of Pittsburgh. She was formerly a Youth Services Librarian at Northbrook Public Library, and at Highland Park Library and served as Head of Youth Services in Pittsburg, Kan­ sas. Judy said, “I am happy to be here and hope to continue to en­ gage, entertain, and educate young people of all ages with our materials and services.” 1, Number 2 My father used to bring home stray cats, and I think he used the same process to choose his friends. He brought home a cat that only had a stump for a tail. Forever called “Tailless,” a car ac­ cident had deprived him of his tail and no end of vets could heal that stub right. The second cat “Meowser’s" ears had been frozen off, leaving only a hint that they should have been there in the first place. We felt sorry for them, but we loved them because they were great cats. My Dad’s friends fit right in there with those cats. Librarian in Hie Lobby I have no clear idea what my Dad saw in those guys. Now entering a fourth year, our suc­ cessful Librarian in the Lobby offers the opportunity for patrons to meet with library administrators to speak informally of library concerns. The director and board members listen to and follow through on patron suggestions, when feasible. Librar­ ian in the Lobby will be offered Wednesday evenings from 7:309 p.m. December 6, January 3 and February 7. They weren’t fishing pals, or drinking buddies. They had no other common linkage except they were all as poorly equipped to cope with life as the cats. Some of them even had frozen off appendages One specimen had thirteen junked Corvairs and nine operating motorcyles. I could but I won’t name names. There was the guy with fifteen dogs, who we called “Doggie.” There was the guy who ran a saloon with a giant live frog in the window, there was the well digger who had six wives by the time he was thirty, there continued on page 2 he Reference Department will offer classes on use of the online computer catalog and Infotrac gateway to magazine articles and company information. (This is not a class on using a per­ sonal computer). Please reserve space by calling Reference, or sign­ ing the meeting reservation book. Classes will be held Saturdays at 10 a.m. on January 13, January 27, February 10 and February 24. Here are some inside tips on use of the computer catalog: Key Word Searching—especially helpful when you know only partial information about a title (example: you want to Find the series of books with “gourmet” in the title-written by a man named “Smith.” American Heritage Electronic Dic­ tionary—to check spelling and defi­ nition of words and abbreviations. InfoTrac: Business and Company ASAP, Magazine Index Plus, Health Index Plus—InfoTrac in­ dexes periodical articles by subject and includes the full text of some articles. Dial-up Access—to our computer catalog-from home or business. (Note: the InfoTrac databases are available in library only.) Young children can L search the library's j holdings on a specialized “kids' computer catalog” in the Youth Services department. *=■ “* �Librarian's DOSli (contined from page 1) was the fisherman who could call up wild fish that lived by the end of his dock, the root beer bottler whose homemade soda “you opened outside and caught it in a pail across the yard," there was the cheesemaker with the long raft of floating oil drums that featured rocking chairs for the fishermen, the car mechanic who did dentistry. I don’t think he felt sorry for them, though a lot of other people did, and I don’t think he loved them all like we did the stray cats. I do know he thought they were “color­ ful" to use his own word. What those friends came down to was simple. Acceptance. Don't judge anyone by what you see on the outside, friends are friends, who you know are your friends, you stick up for your friends whoever they are, and friends don't judge friends. Also, rural Minne­ sota did not give you many choices, though among his group there was an All-American basketball player, a WWII Marine Corps fighter Ace, the best pheasant hunter in Washington County, a sheriff, a priest, a guy covered com­ pletely with naval tattoos and a Carnegie LifeSaving Gold Medal winner. They were differ­ ent but never boring. I chose my friends a lot differently, and I have a far less interesting group to talk to than my Dad did. I am afraid that this is endemic to suburban life. Everyone I know is responsible, has all his body parts, works for a living, has college degrees, speaks perfect English in complete sentences, and has straight teeth. Having been back to Minnesota nine times in the last two years has really made me wonder who Garrison Keillor talks about when he de­ scribes Minnesota, because I don't meet the old-time characters there anymore than I do here. However, it is a serious mistake to think everyone is “just like us." The book I am recommending this month is In Confidence by Anatoly Dobrynin. As So­ viet Foreign Minister he was a participant in most of the Cold War's great confrontations. Dobrynin knew all the international players from Khrushchev to Reagan and sheds a clear light on all the events that shaped our time. The Bay of Pigs, Vietnam and Star Wars are all illuminated by a distinctly different perspec­ tive than we ever got from our newspapers or television Duped by his own government about the missiles in Cuba, cajoled by LBJ to end the Vietnam war in 1965, Dobrynin was at the center of crucial world events for over thirty years and he has a lot to say about all of it. I think we can learn a lot from these former Cold Warriors that they learned the hard, hard way, and that we should never forget. —--- Jack A!fn Hicks. Administrative Librarian vi Pictfon R§om Dedicated] There are still a few patrons who ask, “Where’s the fiction?” Others have already discovered the newly restructured space on the lower level of the library and the large new elevator that provides direct access to the 3,600 square foot room. The fiction room now houses the en­ tire fiction collection of 23,331 volumes including all large print, mysteries, science fiction and an expanded paperback collec­ tion. The room meets the architect, staff, library board and publics expectations of being a quiet, restful, dignified, informal area with excellent lighting. The room was dedicated to Thomas E. Parfitt on Sunday, September 17. Mr. Parfitt, Library Board President for 20 years, gave his thanks and appreciation to the large audience. Bridget Lamont, Director of the Illlinois State Library was an honored guest at the dedication. Ms. Lamont commended the unique use of existing space provided at no extra cost to taxpayers. She also praised the fact that a longtime library trustee was so honored. We thank Deerfield Bakery, Swansons Blossom Shop, Bob Close, Hel’s Kitchen and the Deerfield Garden Club for their contributions to our successful event. Free Videos for Deerfield Cardholders (except new feature films which cost $1.00) • 2 day loan (Sunday included) for all videos. • Must be 18 or older. Adult cardholder must be present. • No video reserves, no renewals. • New feature films: $1 per day overdue fine. • All other overdue videos: 50 cents per day overdue fine. • New outside video drop for videos only. Use only when library is closed. From left: Director Jack Flicks, Board Members Yvonne Sharpe and Diane Kraus at dedication llil®E*<2«r^' ir©nB<©v«ai#i@Era Fall 1993 saw the installation of the library’s handicapped accessible front doors and the addition of an outside video drop for pa­ tron convenience. Now a major priority for the library board is efficient renovation of main floor space which formerly housed the fiction collection. It is possible that the fireplace and current periodicals will be moved to the former fiction area providing a pleas­ ant reading space in a more peaceful lo­ cation. This would increase shelf space for the nonfiction collection and busi­ ness room. The Deerfield Public Library has received an official document of Senate Recogni­ tion from the Illinois Senate of the 89th Assembly in recognition of outstanding service to the community. Our local author and Deerfield neigh­ bor Lowell Komie has received the prestigious Carl Sandburg Award for fic­ tion for his The Lawyer's Chamber and Other Stories from the Friends of the Chi­ cago Public Library. �Z5XE© CLD [LTF EP C& <fi> © m Z5\ iMi S AcflosB* WUEratfc&DCalendar 6 14 20 24-25 31 December Librarian in the Lobby, 7:30-9 p.m. Book Discussion, Fried Green Tomatoes, 10:30 a.m. Library Board, 8 p.m. Library Closed - Christmas Close at 5 p.m. - New Year’s Eve January 1 Library Closed - New Year’s Day 3 Librarian in the Lobby, 7:30-9 p.m. 11 Book Discussion, Time and Again, 10:30 a.m. Depression: Defining and Defeating It, 7 p.m. 17 Library Board, 8 p.m. 23 New York Apartments, 7 p.m. 30 Great Decisions begins, 7:30 p.m. 31 Beautiful Prague, 7 p.m. February 7 Make Yourself Unique in the Job Market, 7 p.m. Librarian in the Lobby, 7:30-9 p.m. 8 Book Discussion, Sense and Sensibility, 10:30 a.m. 13 Dramatic Poetry, 7 p.m. 18 Writing Poems, 2 p.m. 21 Library Board, 8 p.m. 29 North Shore Homes, 7 p.m. Voter Registration: Saturdays, January 27 and February 17, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. fax Assists D'D <30 IRS/ AARP volunteers will again offer free income tax assistance in the library from 1-4 p.m. Tuesdays and Fridays, February 2- April 12.

As we head into the winter months, you can anticipate borrowing videos from the library collection free of charge, exceptfor newerfea­ turefilms. The library board voted to permit Deerfield cardholders to check out older fea­ ture films, childrens, travel and subject vid­ eos free for two days. Overdue fines will be fifty cents per day on these. New feature films will still cost $ l but for only a two day check­ out period and SI a day fine if overdue. It is not possible to give an exact starting date, since the computer system must be repro­ grammed to accomodate the new loan pro­ cedure. As always, you must be 18 or older to check out videos. The Young People's Summer Reading Club was a “tree-mendous” success, as 801 readers participated. 55 S’T“A"R‘ volunteers helped librarians, and PALS were reading buddies with young readers.

In Septem­ ber there will be a grand opening celebration. The reading area will be named: Thomas E. Parfitt Fiction Room. Parfitt retired from the library board in 1993 after 22 years of service; he was library board president for 20 of those years. The library board Building Com­ mittee includes Sue Benn, Diane Kraus and Yvonne Sharpe. They said, “The room will be warm, inviting and class)'. . Comfortable furnishings in earthtones and wood will be featured, but the greatest element is a lot of light with a relaxing garden view.” The remodeling, in x planning stages since 1992, will provide 23% additional floor space and 20% increased shelf space. It will be paid for entirely by Tax Increment Financing from the Vil­ lage of Deerfield at no extra cost to taxpayers. Y Magazine Index Rdded lo Online Catalog You can now access a magazine in­ dex database called Infotrac 2000 from any Dynix terminal in the library. There are three databases available: Business and Company Profile ASAP, Health ASAP and Magazine Index Plus (for current affairs, consumer information, travel, arts, entertainment). Coverage is from 1992 to the present. Some articles are citation only, some have abstracts, and some are full text. Librarians will be happy to assist you in your search. Across the Librarian’s Desk Now that the Age of Espionage is ebbing and the Age of Lawyers is fully upon us, I wonder what the next great themes for fiction will be? Publishers have so confused form for content and occupation for char­ acter they no longer seem to know the difference. The trend I see in popular fiction is a continuous reduction in literate writing, the etching of character, compelling dialogue, or even plot. What has replaced these ele­ ments of literature is action, sex (and I don’t mean gender), and a downscaling of the intelligence quo­ tient to about the 6th grade level. Where is the literate adult fare that is not murder, spies, or lawyers? What’s next? I'll bet it will be software gurus. Fascinating. Wolff Elected Board On April 4 Bill Seiden and David Wolff were each elected to a six year term on the Deerfield Library Board of Trustees.Wolff, a manufacturers' representative in metal forming, said, “I wish to thank the Deerfield voters for returning me to the Library Board of Trustees for a sec­ ond term. I shall work with the board to continue the outstanding level of service to our patrons within the fiscal constraints of a limited budget.” Seiden, an Illinois C.RA., is a retired corporate executive now doing limited consulting. Seiden is also committed to serving all of Deerfield’s residents “working with other board members to arrive at meaningful decisions and to provide excellent services for the community.” As disappointing as the trend in books has been, it has been outdone by the film industry. Action car Summer Reading Clubs—JOIN! See details inside chases, shootings, sex and gruesome violence have Neui lo the Brea? all replaced drama, comedy and romance. Where are elcome to our community! New residents are invited to stop in for a library card. Please bring 2 forms of i.d. showing Deerfield address. Card is free if you live in incorporated Deerfield; the state sets a $150 fee for non residents and mandates that they borrow only at the library where they purchased their card. the wonderful musicals of the 1940’s and the great “adult" film noir that defined films for so long? The real question is where are the scripts that challenge and delight, where are the themes and motifs that go along Continued on page 2 �Librarian's Desk o u (continued from page 1) with good writing? When did the term “adult” come to mean skin? I remember being scared stiff by Cary Grant and a glass of milk; now it takes chain saws, body parts and gallons of blood to achieve an effect. Actually what we are seeing is the precursor of a non-literate culture. Our country is becoming visual instead of verbal with kids watching too many thousands of hours of numbing television and not reading books...and not knowing the dif­ ference. Hence we have poor scripts, and non­ literate books. Lawyers are seen as fascinating characters in far too much fiction. It appears we are abrogating our culture to publishers and me­ dia and movie moguls who say “..no one reads, only dumb kids go to the movies, trash for the masses." We know this not to be totally true. Barnes and Noble and Borders validate the fact that Deerfield has a literate and reading population. We look for books and mature films that inspire and challenge us. As an antidote, it is fortunate that we live in an area of affordable theatre, not just the Shubert and Goodman but the small ones, the Organic Theatre, Next, Steppenwolf, Northlight, The Re­ mains—the list is gratifyingly long. But even though we read, it seems that media producers are intent on reducing what is available to the low­ est common denominator. Reductio adAbsurdum. Apparently it makes money and that’s all that seems to count today. The O.J. Simpson trial cov­ erage is just a symptom of the widespread con­ sumer entertainment disease—simple, mindless, violent and visual.

It is ironic that we call for values and respon­ sibility from any individual in this age of collective irresponsibility. We ask for less violence on our streets but pay to wallow in it in books and films. We demand accountability but we don’t practice O it ourselves. Maybe that’s the real loss—our own honesty and integrity. I have always been a firm believer that today is “the good old days." But when it comes to books and films, looking back­ wards you see adult books and films that chal­ lenged, entertained, inspired and enchanted... made by people who read, wrote, and thought. The book that I am recommending this month is Rocking the Babies by Linda Raymond. This is a book that makes you believe in people, reaffirm real family values and inspires our highest in­ stincts. Set in a hospital, the book examines those who provide care and love to drug addicted newborns.

Lower level space now used for offices, meeting room and boardroom will be merged with the down­ stairs lobby to provide an additional 25% floor space, and 20% increased shelfspace. In response to patron re­ quests, the remodeling will provide a quiet, spacious, reading area to browse new books, read and consult the Reader Services Librarian, ex. ^ This project has been in the ■Slllm planning stages for \n| l I three years. The first li phase was the addition of ADA restrooms and elevator. It will be qw n W-A paid for entirely by l Yt—VV Tax Increment Fi­ nancing (TIF) pro­ vided by the Village of Deerfield and will not involve a referendum, bonds or increase in the tax rate. Library service will not be interrupted dur­ ing the construction. A summer completion date is anticipated. Lov Business forecasting has always been done in five- year increments. With the acceleration of technology that threshold is now two or three years, with many unforeseen changes skewing the balance. We are now five years from the 21 st century and the question is what the new cen­ tury will hold for all of us. The mood of society today—in spite of our economic well being— seems to be that wherever it is we are, is not where we want to be, and we are not comfort­ able about it. I see change coming in areas be­ yond our control: working women, age of the population, Russia and computers. Simple demographics tell us that the workforce will be primarily female in 2001. That clearly means no return to the 1950’s mom-athome image we hear touted as “traditional fam­ in #< Infochcannel The Village of Deerfield’s Infochannel is up and running.

It has taken over 25 years to put Mom into the workplace and it is questionable if she will ever return to apron and kitchen. Demograph­ ics also tell us that our population is aging sig­ nificantly. I read that by 2010 we will have 50,000 citizens over 100 years old when we now have less than 5,000. A majority of our citizens will be over 50 years of age in 2010. Families will change. Continued on page 2 Tuesday, April 11,7p.m. “Thousands of people are having online affairs and these sometimes spill over into their real lives. I be­ lieve this is the beginning of a cul­ ture change in our society and will alter our future attitudes!” says Chicago author Deanna Warren who has published her first book Love On Line— an informative and hu­ morous guide to online “chat”. She will present an upbeat over­ view of how to get up and run­ ning online, the language and the nuances. Deanna teaches a course “Hitching a Ride on the Information Superhighway” at the College of Lake County and has also published articles and poetry. Holiday Closings! Holiday closings at the library are limited to the major holidays. We will be closed: Easter Sunday, April 16 and Memorial Day, Monday, May 29. We will also close summer Sundays beginning May 28. �Librarian's Desh (continued from page 1) Can we project by looking back? Peering back five years we see the fall of the Berlin Wall and the disintegration of the Soviet Union—monumental changes that no one ex­ cept lunatics predicted. Certainly now the challenge is to learn to live productively with the strange, hybrid society that was spawned and nurtured in the Soviet hothouse. This is a major challenge not to be taken lightly—as elemental as water, land and air. The hatreds forged on the anvil of the Cold War must give way if both former rival superpowers are to regenerate themselves. Computers and software use have qua­ drupled in the past five years, with the hot companies and monoliths alike responding to market-driven pressures that have drastically altered the computers and the corporate cli­ mate. Correspondingly we have seen a sharp acceleration in science and medicine. Supercomputers, like the Cray, will lead to profound discovery in all fields of research. Fine. Now we have the INTERNET which has had and will continue to have a tremendous impact on society. Until now. computers have just counted, sorted and analyzed data—but with cyberspace and INTERNET we are ask­ ing computers to assume the basic human social function of communication. The great and frightening line in Kubrick's 2001 was. "Oh. this is so exciting" when in fact the lives of 2001 scientists were bland as mush and as dull as gruel. Cyberspace has the poten­ tial to be more deadening than television, more corrosive to the spirit than drugs. Most creative ideas come from the fertile minds of one person; real genius does not flow from committees and focus groups. We are now to believe that the creative process is going to be altered by networks and shared data. To visualize and conceive an idea is the hard part; a committee can talk anything to death. This is not to say I want to return to the era of Victorian engineering—elegant drawings and mathematics done in script by pen and ink—but I doubt that creative thought itself is in transition and we delude ourselves if we al­ low an electronic servant to become cultural master and destroyer. Virtual reality....what's wrong with reality? Distance is well known to lend enchant­ ment. Along those lines, we hope you will en­ joy the Will Rogers program the Library is co­ sponsoring with the Deerfield Area Historical Society on March 29 at 7;30 p.m. No com­ puters. no cyberspace.

Dynix At Your Service! Our “mascot” butler welcomes you to the new Dynix computer sys­ tem. We officially went online with our new system on November 1 and patron reactions are positive! The colorful new screens replace our “old” GEAC computer catalog and circulation system which served us well for almost 10 years. (We eliminated our card catalog 6 years ago.) The faster, more powerful sys­ tem continues to be in a consor­ tium with Skokie, Morton Grove and Waukegan Libraries. The Dynix system is very “user friendly” and flexible, with - wider access promised in the future. This should include access to numer­ ous periodical indexes, community resource File, gateways to remote databases and access to Internet. We anticipate a smooth adjust­ ment and appreciate your patience in accepting and becoming com­ fortable with the new system. What a man Teddy Ballgame was—a real hero to all of us kids.

That the game reflects us for good or ill, and that baseball could only be an American game. A charm­ ing TV series but a flawed theory. Reflecting on the 1994 baseball strike that ruined the best season in- years—the only one in ninety with no World Series—I could be inclined to agree with Burns, only in reverse. Baseball as a perfect metaphor for American life: grasping, greedy, selfish men lacking in any semblance of culture, with no knowledge of his­ tory. Those who grab mopey without regard for others, the eventual outcome of a project, or even how it looks to the outside world.

Americans at our worst, not our best, ruined the season of 1994. After twenty-one years of providing library service to Deerfield residents in a real- life not a fictional setting, I have found Deerfield residents to be none of the above. In contrast, I have seen that their hearts and minds are in the right place. 12,700 cardholders in a village of 17,000 tells me this is a community of readers, intellectually alert, aware of poli­ tics, socially concerned, involved with our kids, and philosophical in outlook. Social projects, caring about others, and a long view of history characterizes the people I know in this town. Is Deerfield a micro­ cosm of the rest of the country? I think so. Is that a metaphor that would ruin the baseball season of 1994? I think not. But it has also been my experience that events in our lives, large and small, are often shaped by what is worst, not what is best, for us. Mean- spiritedness and disparity often come to the fore and win out in decision making. Wronghead­ edness often shouts down reason and important decisions can be based on caprice and whim, and only our hindsight is perfect. Maybe the men who ruined the 1994 season did mean well but by a mis­ guided attempt achieved something nobody wanted.

The book I am recommending this month is The Lawyer’s Chambers by Lowell Komie. This collection of short sto­ ries is Lowell's third book and I recom­ mend it highly. If you haven't read Lowell Komie you are missing one of the best of today's writers. Mr. Komie is not just a good writer, or a talented one, Lowell is a great writer whose stories touch at the heart of all of us. Lowell writes in a very difficult genre to master—the short story; when he succeeds, which is often, he rewards us all with his art.

The Novels ThgF Sizzle! fp® r-'- 1984 has arrived ten years late and it is being hailed as the dawn of a new day. What I am concerned about is the advent of political correctness. How this has happened, and how it has been passively accepted defy my imagi­ nation. Maybe the past thirty years have inured us to accept the unacceptable. It has been a rough thirty years—Viet Nam, Watergate, Irangate, the Persian War, stagflation, reces­ -ll well as the disintegration of the Soviet Union. November 8—Authors Cathie Linz & Linda Wiatr Ethiopia and now Rwanda seem not to touch us ;>1 sion and the loss of our global market share, as Global catastrophe in Bangladesh, Somalia, (Laurel Collins) present an indepth look at the ever popular and often misunderstood romance novel.

This is an opportunity to offer sugges­ tions and discuss concerns infor­ mally with library leaders. Donald P. Van Arsdale has been selected to fill the unexpired one year Library Board term vacated by retiring Rosemary Sazonoff. Van Arsdale is Executive Director of The Winnetka Community House. A graduate of Western Illinois University, he was formerly em­ ployed by area park districts and has served on several non profit boards. He said, “I’m happy to serve the people of Deerfield in this wonderful library and hope to contribute my many years of pub­ lic service experience.” He, his wife Mary and daughter Karen have lived in Deerfield since 1990. knowledge dr sympathy for those cultures. When I was a teenager I was an insatiable reader. Living at the end of an eighteen-mile dirt road either makes you turn inward or look out longingly to the distant world. I read so many and books stand out: Graham Greene, Neville Shute, Herman Wouk, Norman Mailer, Ernest Hemingway, The Silver Chalice, Raintree County, The Caine Mutiny, The Cruel Sea. I came to love Greene, Shute and Wouk for their Continued on page 2 We appreciate your gifts!

No exceptions! �Librarian's Desh continued from page 1 abilty to move me in time and place and put me directly into the story being told. What stands out about all the reading was my free choice and access to read any­ thing I wanted. Free choice is what makes us Americans. Can kids make those same free choices today when they want to read or even watch TV? I hope so, but I don’t know for how long. Political correctness is a fundamental challenge to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights that could block access to information, stymie free inquiry, hamper the right to receive information, stop freedom of the press. It has already deeply damaged freedom of speech. College campuses across the U.S. have become deeply attached to pc; in fact, many of them employ the equiva­ lent of thought police to insure doctrinal purity. My problem is whose doctrine, whose purity? In the condescending clam­ our to do good and be nice, are we throw­ ing away our crucial civil rights? My own professional organization, the American Library Association, embraces and advocates politically cor­ rect speech and thought. Their new ortho­ doxy is placing them far from many librari­ ans who still believe in the Bill of Rights. By no means do I want to return to an era of racial, religious, sexist and gender slurs and epithets. But I reject the prison of polit­ ical correctness as an even more danger­ ous social evil. It reminds me all too much of my neighbor from the Soviet Union chill­ ingly dismissing her father's tenure in the Siberian Gulag as the result of "merely not being correct with government." Let's hope I turn out to be wrong when I sa$< 1984 has come ten years late.Has anyone read Orwell's 1984 lately?. The books I am recommending this month are all nonfiction and cover a wide field of experience. The Roosevelts by Peter Collier. Leading With My Heart by Virginia Kelley. Life of the Party by Chris Ogden, and finally Land Where the Blues Began by Alan Lomax. Like Bill Clinton or not, you can't help but like his mother and her can­ dor. Alan Lomax has chronicled American music for most of this century and knows the themes and rhythm of blues music like no one else. Pamela Digby Churchill Hayward Harriman was indeed the "life of the party" and knew all the rich and power­ ful on both sides of the Atlantic for the past fifty years. (And married most of them!) The Roosevelts is a fine essay on money, poli­ tics. power and arguably the most important political family in U.S. history. ---- — r : Jack Alan Hicks.

In fact we use them every day even though we may not know it. As I approach old age I have come to real­ ize that roadmaps are as inexorable as the DNA genetic code. They tell us where we came from, and who we are. What we respect, value, and how we interact. What we like to eat. This accidental geography of birth becomes as important as our parents. The value schemes, the ethnocentricisms. the lattice and matrix of our thinking process is regional; who we are is where we are from.

Sazonoff retired from the Board after 21 years of service. For many years she served as Board Secretary. The Library Sazonoff’s library leadership, commit­ is closed ment and compassion Sundays in will be missed by staff the Summer and board alike. Her board contributions have always been directed toward increasing service, containing expenses and supporting the staff. For her extensive community service, Mayor Bernard Forrest pro­ claimed the 2nd day of May, 1994 as Rosemary Sazonoff Day in Deerfield. Sitting in a staff meeting, I hear Minneapolis, Chicago, Cleveland—two dialects —Pepper Pike and Shaker Heights—Lubbock. Riga, Istanbul, Los Angeles, and Cedar Rapids all being spoken . We all bring a different tone of voice and point of view—based on our old road maps. We speak from the streets where our Continued on page 2 Renovation Update It’s been a busy year. Our Americans With Disabilites renova­ tion is now complete. Self opening front doors come this summer. The library now has accessible restrooms, elevator, fire escape ramps, telephone, TDD, and lowered drinking fountains. A planning process is under­ way to include remodeling the lower level gallery, reducing office space and moving ourfiction collection downstairs. This plan will mean a 22% increase in avail­ able floor space and a REAL quiet room. l UA �Librarian's Desh continued from page 1 grandparents lived, the street past the night school, the street of our girl friend's college dorm. Fixed points in an ever changing life, and we remember what all those people taught us. Literature and science alike will tell you that American regionalism is going the way of the passenger pigeon. I not only hope not. I know it is not. Oh. maybe the obvious twang of an Okie, or the drawl of a Texan, but even there a good ear will hear Dallas, west Texas, or Oklahoma. The old road signs steer us home everytime. Value schemes may be harder to see. and maybe they are fad­ ing away. They will if we let them. We all worry today about what we see as a decline in our society. Read a little history. Violence. It was ever so, only not reported as routinely or spectac­ ularly. There was always someone who pulled a gun or a knife to settle a dis­ agreement. There were probably those who carried guns to school, the differ­ ence today seems to be the mindless willingness to use them. Maybe Old Lodgskins said it best in Little Big Man, "...white men are crazy, they don't know where the center of the earth is." Road maps, maybe we should start using them more often. Or maybe we should be turning back tcrthe hometown sources of those maps and find an unwillingness to accept or tolerate violence. Whether the vio­ lence is racism, crime, drugs, institution­ al barbarism in our prisons, conglomer­ ate America, dumping toxic waste in our old swimming hole, or a kid packing a gun. Racism, drugs and crime do not have to be part and parcel of our daily lives. Our social roadsigns should steer us away from accepting murder mas­ querading as entertainment in TV and movies or lurid crime replacing news and reporting in our papers. The real crime is our acquiescence, acceptance, tolerance and participation in this corruption of our society. Look in the media mirror, it reflects us. The book I am recommending this month is Zephyr by Henry Kisor. Riding the Amtrak Zephry Kisor samples the sights and people on his train trip west. Always an interesting author. Henry Kisor taps into the lives of his fellow pas­ sengers. and the vital signs of railroading. 1 Jack Alan Hicks'Administrative Librarian every Monday morning to index our liter­ ary criticism collection.

I remember that event so clearly—not like it was yesterday but pretty close. When we were kids dur­ ing WWII, everything we did related to the war and the war effort. My Dad ran a slide rule in the engineering department at Mar­ tin Aircraft in Omaha, Nebraska so D-Day had a special significance; Omaha Beach was the focus of so much concern during the first days of invasion that we thought Omaha Beach was our own personal cru­ sade. We got the news from our Philco radio, raced to see the invasion 44 Everything we did related newsreels at the movie matinees, to the war?? and practiced blackouts every month. There have been so many changes in Amer­ ican life since those days fifty years ago, it is hard to believe it all. So much of our lives centered on the military; all my uncles and a cousin served in WWII, my brother and many friends served in Korea, and my gen­ eration soldiered through the Cold War and Viet Nam. During WWII we watched the railroad trains as often as we could; tanks and landing craft going west, P-51's and other California produce going east and grinning boys in khaki going everywhere. War, military service and separation from family and friends almost define the last three generations of Americans. But so do the ideals we learned: honor, duty, country. The war really stole our childhood; I remember patriotic rallies that exhorted lit­ tle kids to collect tin cans and rubber scraps to save America; anyone who ever did it (Continued on p. 2) Q/ou Q/fw Goidial/g tfrwUed to an Elegant Literary Soiree Sunday • April 17 • 5 - 7 pm Deerfield Public Library Deerfield's Joel Weisman, Emmy Award Winning Commentator, Host & Sr. Editor, TV ll's Chicago Week in Review, will host In celebration of National Library Week We'll honor Deerfield published authors in a splendid atmosphere* • Deerfield High's String Quartet entertains • Join our "literary lions" for tempting hors d'oeuvres & stimulating conversation • Illustrated book marks by our Deerfield children RSVP to the library Raise A Reader From Day One New Computer System Babies are potential readers! Thanks to the efforts of the Deerfield Women of Today, funds have been raised to initiate a program to welcome Deerfield babies and introduce them to a lifetime of reading. At the request of parents, grandparents or friends, a library packet especially for infants will be sent to the home of any child six months or younger. If the family lives within incorporated Deerfield, a gift coupon redeemable in the Youth Services Depart­ ment will be included. Let us know about new babies in town! Walgreens, Firstar Bank and Borders Books & Music have graciously contributed to the first year of this program. Deerfield is proceeding with selection of a new computer catalog and circulation sys­ tem in partnership with Morton Grove, Skokie and Waukegan Libraries. The new computers will offer access to our four col­ lections, at least three magazine indexes, and a survey of holdings of the 44 North Suburban Library System public libraries and will act as an access point for the Inter­ net. The new system should be installed by July and fully operational before September. * Published Deerfield authors: we don't want to leave you out.

Martha Sloan, Head of Reader Services and Book Discussion leader, has authored a chapter in The Book Group, a Thoughtful Guide to Forming and Enjoying a Stimulating Book Discussion Group. She said, "In a strange way books provide the safety of distance but also are an avenue to our more real selves." (Continued from p.I) remembers cutting the tops and bottoms from tin cans and squashing them flat. I remember savings bonds and stamps being sold in the movie theaters, my Mom dealing with the reality of rationed food, clothing and shoes, and my Dad's despair at getting gas and tires. My grandfather and my brothers and I went to one rally to donate aluminum pans that was like a scene from a Wagner opera—bonfires, martial music, and a pile of aluminum stacked up to the sky. Boy Scouts was like army camp, leisure travel was restricted, and fear of Zeros, Stukas, and Messerschmitts was something we talked about every day. I don't have the same childhood memories my daughters do and they can't point out Tarawa, Anzio or Bataan. So when they say times have changed, I know they are for the better. The troops that stormed ashore on D-Day are now our senior citizens and their grandchildren will not have their child­ hoods stolen by war. The resolve and singleness of purpose that guided our country in those days will probably never be experienced by any of us again. The dedication and inventiveness the country exhibited in the 1940's now must be rechanneled into making the USA the world leader in all areas of life, not just the military/sci­ entific arena where we excelled like no other. , , T „ ^ book 1 am recommending this month is Technology by Neil Postman, subtitled The Surren- der of Culture to Technology. The author asserts the country is grappling for human values and answers in a social system where technology has been granted sovereignty over our institutions—science as salvation, scientist as shaman. Postman, who has become one of our most interesting social analysts, has an earlier essay, Amusing Our­ selves to Death, dealing with a society intent on recreation and amusement, with disre­ gard for values, productivity, or self-worth. The boys of Omaha Beach knew a thing or two about values, productivity, and selfworth and we should never forget it. Jack Alan Hidks, Administrative Librarian �Long Playing Records to Go Time marches on and new technologies move in. The library's long playing records are deteriorating physically and are no longer receiving enough usage to warrant shelf space. We are withdrawing the collec­ tion. If you wish to purchase any, we'll have a sale the first weekend in June. Building Renovation Thanks for your patience....Building reno­ vation has been protracted but is ending. This includes an ADA compliant elevator, accessible restrooms, etc. A new electric door will be installed at the entrance this summer. The Library Board is currently studying a renovation plan that will move the fiction collection downstairs and increase our public space by almost 20%. News to Note The Board approved a new meeting room policy since the library now has only one meeting room. The policy limits public use to duly constituted Deerfield sponsored, non profit organizations. Space can be reserved only 2 months in advance. See Gail Kroll for details. Please bring your Deerfield library card to check out materials. Without it, you will need i.d. and it will cost 25<t. Also, employer/host must take full responsibility for acquiring and main­ taining a library card for a nanny, au pair or foreign exchange student. Reminder: The State Legislature has passed a bill that restricts use of a non­ resident fee card to the library where it is purchased.

It was an inspiring moment we should all cherish. The excitement of the moment got me to thinking about what was going through Bill Clinton's head as he stood there and watched this historic moment unfold. Not to worry, I thought, I can read his memoirs and know exactly. Or can I? First-hand presidential intent and insight is not <Ut WAS AN easy to find. INSPIRING MOMENT Many of our presi­ WE SHOULD dents have written ALL CHERISH. M books. Some of them, like Reagan actually have left us with an extensive written history. But do they tell us any­ thing, or do they just record the events, whitewash their consciences, or knock old adversaries? Lyndon Baines Johnson wrote a number of unreflective books. Today, Johnson is quite in vogue for revisionist historians to defend or destroy. What really went through Johnson's thoughts as Viet Nam— his personal Armageddon— played itself out is unrecorded. Harry Truman wrote prolifically, but not really for public consumption. As fond of his writings as I am—for his knowledge of history, his acute observations, his intelli­ gence and grasp of a situation—he puts an oT Missourian spin on each episode he describes, especially when it comes to peo­ ple he didn't like. Smart man, though. (Continued on p. 2) c# DEERFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY Vol. 9, No. 1 New Computer System on PIorizon The library computer catalog consortium (including Deerfield, Skokie, Morton Grove and Waukegan), is in the final phase of selecting a new computer system. The new system will offer increased access to materials, higher speed, greater reliability and features only dreamed of when our system was purchased nine years ago. Library Patrons Approve Car system has served us well, but software and hardware cannot be enhanced to take advantage of technological advances, A system will be selected by December, with conversion and installation to be done in summer of 1994. The finalist systems offer ease of use, intuitive functions, and a high degree of user friendliness. Thanks for your patience In a user satisfaction survey conducted during the summer by Miriam Pollack, of the North Suburban Library System, the Deerfield Library received a 97% approval rating. The range of comments on services and staff was interesting and valuable. The data will be used in our long range planning this winter. The library is in the final stages of renova­ tion to meet requirements of the Ameri­ cans with Disabilities Act. This will include, but not be limited to TDD, self­ opening front doors, handicapped restrooms, handicapped accessible elevator, lowered drinking fountains, and outside ramps. Your continued comments and suggestions are welcomed; we have a suggestion box at the front desk, and Librarian in the Lobby Mondays 7-9 p.m December 6, January 10 and February 7. At that time you may meet informally with one of our board members and with Director Jack Hicks. Due to renovation, we have lost the down­ stairs meeting room for an indefinite period. Since meeting room space is now restricted, community organizations are advised to plan meetings in other loca­ tions. We also have had to temporarily restrict lending of videos as storage space was reduced by elevator construction. News to note: Please bring your library card with you to check out books! If you do not have your library card with you, it will cost a quarter to check out books, effective January 1, 1994. With no library card, you also need to have i.d. and have your name in our computer system. Library users who purchase a non resident card: be aware! The State Legislature has passed a Bill that restricts use of non­ resident fee cards to the library where they are purchased, beginning January 1. Our former costly and unreliable boilers have been replaced by a new computer controlled heating system. We look for­ ward to a toasty winter in the library. It’s tax season again... Yes: Free income tax advice will be offered at the library Tuesdays and Fridays, 1-4 p.m. February 1-April 15. This program is sponsored by the IRS and the AARP. No: The Deerfield Library is no longer able to provide income tax forms. We are not federally funded and it has gone beyond our ability to handle. �Adult Programs Book Discussions Programs are free, but reservations are requested.

How would Victorian women fit in today's society? Prudence Moylan, Professor of History at Loyola University, Chicago, observes that women of 200 years ago struggled with issues similar to those of today. Librarian’s Desk (Continued from v. v Richard Nixon is probably our only president to respect reading and writing—he has given us astonishing insights at events he partici­ pated in. But along with every one else at the time of Watergate, I was struck by how little I knew of Richard Nixon, the man. He seems today a shrouded picture of Dorian Gray. President Bush has written, but his wife's dog book out sold him ten to one. Ronald Reagan's wife has written, Gerald Ford has written, Jimmy Carter has written. I don't think any of these folks have enriched our knowledge or written the definitive history In the Library Thursdays, 10:30 a.m. A12 top Tips for Stress Management Tuesday, January 24,7:30 p.m. Dr. Sally Witt, Psychologist in private practice in Arlington Heights, will include communication, relationships, life style and a relaxation experience in suggesting ways to beat the stress trap.

A Investing in Antiques: What's Hot and What's Not Wednesday, February 23,7:30 p.m. Diane Joseph, Heritage Appraisal Ser­ vice, brings 30 years experience to her talk on trends in antiques including the desirable and the sleepers. She'll cover furniture to silver, paintings to porce­ lains. You may bring one piece for her verbal appraisal. ▼ December 9 The Patron Saint of Liars by Ami Patchett A fresh novel of reconciliation with the past. Set in a home for unwed mothers in Kentucky, Cecelia, a girl with no history, grows up among the nuns and a stream of pregnant teen agers. V January 13 A Good Scent From a Strange Mountain by Robert Olen Butler Selections from this collection of short stories about Vietnamese expatriates living in New Orleans. A Pulitzer Prize Winner. V February 10 The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne Considered one of the masterpieces of American literature, this is an allegorical story of the conflict of personal desire in conflict with a community of laws. Calling All Local Authors!!! The Deerfield Library plans to celebrate our community's own authors during National Library Week April 17-23. We'll honor Deerfield published authors with a spring reception and include your works in our collection. Please contact Martha Sloan or Sally Seifert if you wish to be included. mmm of their own administration. Can we expect Clinton to do better? Also, clouding the issue is the ghost writer. Were any presidents good writers? Read Lincoln's speeches if you doubt his greatness. If you think Roosevelt's writings were ghost written, look at the handwritten corrections on his "Day of Infamy" speech and you see great writing. But if you want to read fantastic mem­ oirs, read Ulysses Grant. He speaks from the page like a hybrid of Lyndon Johnson and James Herriot. Illinois' Grant is a wonderful writer with charm, grace, wit, toughness and a ___________________ ____ ____ __] grasp of everything that was going on around him. However, criticisms of his Presidency say the same things about him—in reverse. His book was a best seller. Will Bill Clinton write the definitve account of what happened in Washington when Israel and the PLO made peace? Probably not, but that doesn't diminish the moment. That account will be written sometime soon, and you will find it here in your library.
