I don't know what the patrons anticipated, but I do know they are generally surprised by my answer. I guess they think that I'll be overcome with gloom. Nothing could be further from the truth. The presence of Barnes and Noble, Borders and Crown in our community is great! Books are my life, as they are for most librarians. fit acknowledges Every time I go into those three bookstores, it's like a what we always knew— Deerfield librarian's reunion—about is a book-centered a fourth of the customers are librarians. The more community. P access to books and ideas, the better. There are so many fine books printed every year that we never see in our review media, so many subjects that are only partially available through trade jobbers. Bookstores in the community—this is a librarian's dream—to be a able to handle and browse so many new books. I am proud to be a librarian in a community that three major bookstore chains have targeted as a productive market. We in the library always knew we had great library users, but to have three major conglomerates validate this by locating stores here is a compliment from the savvy marketers of the business world. It acknowledges what we always knew— Deerfield is a book-centered community. The bookstores and the library have similarities and significant differences. We have a deeper and wider collection of fiction, they have a wider spread of newer (Continued on p. 2) Vol. 8, No. 3 JOIN THE CLUB!! READ! For Adults Celebrate America's Diversity June 5Aug. 20!!

We overwhelm the bookstores with our reference collections, business directories, indexes, and our wonderful children's department. Competition? The role of the library is so different I certainly don't see competition. More of a complement. We can learn from them in the areas of display, marketing and customer service. The fact that Barnes and Noble has chosen to schedule book discussions and children's story hours head-to-head with our established programs is taken by us as the sincerest form of flattery. The one tool that any of them have—that has obvious and exciting implications for libraries—is Borders' music access computer. I have been asked to rate the three stores, but that would be bordering on an endorsement. Thank you! A Sam and Mary Fosdick Memorial Garden of perennial flowers will be planted in front of the library this summer. Thanks to AAUW, Author Gertrude Rubin, and Junior Women's Club of Deerfield who have been among book donors this year. We don't have a coffee shop (yet) and 1 love that aroma as I browse. But we have two things that are far better within a half a block—the great Deerfield Bakery and that Deerfield institution—Harry's Grill. So when the spirit moves you, visit the three terrific bookstores we have in Deerfield, and then visit the Deerfield Public Library. Great food for mind and body a half block apart. I think you'll agree we stack up pretty well to our commercial bookstore neighbors and we're free. A final note—the firecracker annual report we handed out on July 4,1992 has won the Library Public Relations Council Division I Award as the best (small library) annual report in the country last year.

He was sure that my oldest brother, fighting far away in Korea, would be home soon and wanted the tree there to greet him. That tree stayed up until June of 1953. There were so many expectations like that in 1952—with a new and trusted president coming into office—we thought everything was possible. Taking my tree down this year, I was struck by those wThen, as now, memories and the contrast to ^ look forward today—how times change. ^Optimistically to A long distance call from San wi new president Francisco, as my brother shipped out for Korea, for to heal serious instance, seemed like it came problems** from another planet. &The library made a difference in my life.

We lived at the end of an 18 mile dirt road and you could see those lights in our window for miles across the snow as we came home at night. We all wanted our favorite brother home safe, away from deadly harm and death he faced every day. He saw the Pusan Perimeter, Yalu River and the frozen Chosin, and we knew exactly what that meant. Seeing "his" tree every day gave us great comfort. I remember that winter of hopefulness very clearly—and how our optimism never faded, even as the tree shriveled. That tree became an unsspoken magic in our house— we wouldn't take it down because it was somehow protecting my brother. So many neighbors and friends had sons, who were wounded or killed, we worried eve We were pulling for Ike and a peace future—tne dawn of a new day.

First we have to overcome street crime, drues, Somalia, Iraq, Bosnia, a runaway deficit and a political system that has become so cruelly partisan. I wonder if hope can really influence or diminish the future? My brother came home safe in the Fall of 1953—he slipped in the back door unannounced, without a word and it seems to me the world he came back to has never been the same. Then, as now, we look forward optimistically to a new president to heal serious problems—but one who faces much sterner challenges, with a less firm footing than Ike did. Today we hold the same wish with the same optimism for everyone's brother and sister. So many of them face deadly peril everyday. With the end of forty-five years of superpower rivalry and confrontation we The two books I am recommending this month are Truman by David McCullough and Iron Fist by Jeffrey Rodengen—two books about the great American dream of rising from humble beginnings to success and greatness. I cannot imagine two biographies more different in style and content. Truman, the underrated underdoe, has somehow managed to become everybody's (including Bush and Clinton) favorite president today. Iron Fist perfectly describes Carl Kiekhafer, the hard driving brilliant, engineer and founder of Mercury Marine.

Many people have asked about the changes I've seen in those short twenty years. There have been tremendous observable physical changes: Lake Cook Road was a two lane country road, no Northbrook Court, you could park alone Deerfield and w I wonder Waukegan Roads in the what the downtown area, of course future holds the gun club blasted away for us? M every weekend and a pony ride farm was located there. The schools were growing to cope with a burgeoning student body (some things have come full circle), and I could ride my bicycle out my back door all the way to Crystal Lake and never see a car. Traffic now defines us. Sara Lee, a good neighbor for forty years, is gone and the fragrance of the evening baking only a memory. The brickyard and the boat storage is forgotten by most of us. Volkswagen of North America was headquartered in Deerfield, but they left before the Lake Cook Corridor developed. DEERFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY Effects of System Budget Cuts n the last issue of "Browsing" the State of Illinois Budget cuts for Library Systems were discussed. Many residents have asked how those cuts are affecting service at the Deerfield Public Library. The services were previously delivered by the North Suburban Library System but now the Deerfield staff must do all the leg and paper work. i has been seriously disrupted. A long-term solution will be to develop a new magazine directory, new computer products giving access and locations, additional local spending, and increased reliance on local networking. This will cost Deerfield money at the local level and deflect resources. What these costs are will be determined by experience over the next year. The service cuts have a direct impact upon delivery of magazine articles, books, and audio visual materials Deerfield does not own. Right now the Library is coping by using the telephone to arrange direct loans and access to non-library materials. The North Suburban Library System has instituted new protocols and procedures for sharing other libraries' collections and is in the process of compiling a computer product to aid this sharing. Students of all ages, retirees, working people, and businesses have all felt the cuts. Many residents have voiced anger at library staff for cuts the staff had no voice in making. The Library does not have unlimited resources to make up this shortfall. The question of whether or not the measures detailed above will return library services to the levels we used for twenty years is as yet unanswered. What is known is that the way we are currently coping will the shortfall is ineffective and expensive, often resulting in patron disappointment. A patchwork fix will not replace coordinated statewide efforts. ■ These are stop gap measures at best because service levels and resident satisfaction have been reduced. Coordinated and systematic library service REMINDER A more telling comment would be how much Deerfield has remained as it was: The same interesting residents, who show (Continued on p. 2) Suggestions?

I would never have expected that our school age population would rise again, but it is surely doing so, nor would I have predicted all the traffic, yet Lake Cook and Waukegan Roads seem to be the axle of the universe on any given rush hour. Computers have entered our lives and the library too— never to go away, I assume. My old departed friend Sam Fosdick used to say that Deerfield would become merely a collection of "real estate offices, hair parlors, and grocery stores" as suburbia moved beyond us to the western suburbs and our real shopping was done elsewhere. I wonder. S1&S0KTS [*0K)(^ II -y BookIn Discussions the Library Thursdays -10:30 a.m. December 10 - The Bean Trees, by Barbara Kingsolver.

Deerfield Library belongs to the North Suburban Library System (NSLS) whose budget has been cut by 3314%, or $900,000. At this juncture, it is hard to quantify how these cuts will affect Deerfield Library. Jack Hicks, Administrative Librarian said, "All the external sup­ port services that the public has come to count on will be restricted, or even eliminated." Some system services to which the public has become accustomed are interlibrary loan of books, Central Seri­ als Service which provides free photo­ copies of articles in magazines not owned by Deerfield, System Reference Service which acts as a backup for ref­ erence questions we are unable to answer, and the loan of audio visual materials to supplement our collec­ tion. Effective immediately, the serials service for copies of articles has ceased. Deerfield and all other Illinois libraries will face diminished services as all library systems in the state are affected. Fifteen staff members of the North Suburban Library System have lost their jobs as a result of this cut in state funds. Meet Library Administrators Better than an inanimate sugges­ tion box, Jack Hicks, Administra­ tive Librarian and a member of the Board of Trustees, will be available in person to greet you and to address any library issue in the library's front lobby the first Saturday of each month from 9 a.m. to noon. As funds are now restricted, Sarah Long, System Director, hopes that creative solutions may be found to reinstate system services. "We simply do not know yet how deeply these cuts will be felt by our patrons," said Hicks, "but we will keep our community informed." 'The reductions will be painful," said George Ryan, Secretary of State/State Librarian. Some fees for back-up library services may be necessary in Deerfield Library's future. warn Across the Librarian's Desk T he State budget cuts discussed in this newsletter send the omi­ nous and chilling message to librarians across Illinois that services our residents have come to expect and count on will be restricted or eliminated. Deerfield will be directly affected by these State budget cuts since they instantly stratify residents access to library services into the "haves" and the "have nots." We are all aware of the economic and tax problems Illinois and the USA face in general terms, but I am going to try to put it into real terms. Traveling Librarians share "good reads" at the Deerfield Senior Center. From left: Judy Hortin, Baiba Rosenkranz, Sally Margolis, Sally Seifert, Pat Palmer, Martha Sloan. Call us if your group would like a road show. I see libraries as such a strong exten­ sion to education in this country — cutting across age, educational, and (Continued on p. 2) �Librarian’s Desk (Continued fromn p. 1 economic barriers. If we continue to erode our educational base I wonder how this country will ever be competi­ tive again. This all has to do with will power and priorities. I was really disappointed when the NASA launch of the Hubble telescope turned out to be such a fiasco. The Hub­ ble project held so much promise for dis­ covery and technical advancement yet delivered essentially nothing. The will power was there, but the execution was lacking. What has this to do with libraries? Sim­ ply that the squandered Hubble budget would pay the State Library System shortfall for 200 years. I wonder where our priorities have gone? Starting soon, when a young child walks into our library and seeks help that we routinely have offered from State assis­ tance, he will be turned down. When a businessman seeks a magazine article we do not hold, he will go away empty handed. When a college student needs a reference question answered that is beyond our scope, it will remain unan­ swered. All at a time when our residents need more, not less, from our library services. I hope none of the children we turn away would have been a young Thomas Edison or Jonas Salk. I have no crystal ball to discern a glass darkly, but the cavalier way the Secre­ tary of State slashed library service gives me no optimism. Libraries provide so much service and information to so many citizens, yet we remain the lowest taxing component of any government — usually 2% or lower. The politicians will discover that they can cut all of the library money and still not effect any real saving. And at what cost? — shortsighted and illusory sav­ ings and permanent damage to library users in Illinois. Jack Alan Hilicks, Administrative Librarian “Street Smarts” Monday, November 9,7£0 pm The Deerfield Library Annual Report for 1991-92 is available in the library. In the shape of a firecracker, the report was intro­ duced to the community at the July 4 Deer­ field Family Days.

Across the Librarian's Deski Librarians are beguiled by the idea that they are harbingers, arbiters, and decision makers when it comes to taste, culture, education and all things literary. Especially in the growth and development of their own library's collection and services. I am as guilty of this as any librarian. Sometimes events bring you down to earth. This past winter saw the deaths of two long-time Deerfield Library patrons — Marion Cole and Sam Fosdick. They were both great library users who guided us, chided us, and led the Library to provide many of the materials and services we offer today. o O Q Forget Summer boredom and travel with us: Discover! • O Read ! will be the . theme for the children this year with a membership that promises ^ to be a passport to a summer of new discov­ eries and enjoyable Discover!

Both Marion and Sam knew how to use libraries, what a library should be, and how a librarian can mediate and facilitate the use of the collection to the public. They were both lifetime readers. Reflecting on Sam and Marion as patrons and people makes me realize how important and close the relation­ ship is that develops between a library, its librarians and the residents. Librarians often forget the tremendous impact the patrons have on what we do, who we are, and how we do it.

In the case of Sam and Marion I would say we were gently led to do our best. Marion's influence on reference service in this Library cannot be overstated. She insisted on a high level of service, interlibrary loan, and a strong reference collection. Marion never accepted a lame or tired answer in lieu of real service. She helped set our standards for refer­ ence and made us live up to them. Sam was a dapper and urbane gentleman who expected exactly the same high level of service. His rogu­ ish but gentle sense of humor often concealed a very incisive message. Sam's advice about our Business Ref­ erence Room has changed how that room is organized, what we have in there, and how the staff interprets the collection to the public. Knowing and working with Mar­ ion and Sam for so many years was always interesting. Many people think a public library would be a great place to work if you could just keep the public out. It is wonderful patrons like Marion and Sam who make library work and developing that library — its services and collec­ tion — so rewarding and such a plea­ sure. There are so many people who have influenced us over such a long period of time that it would be hard to name them all. Libraries are indeed peo­ ple places. Two of them, Marion and Sam, both people I am glad to have known, will be missed by all of us.

August 14 — Rising Sun, by Michael Crichton, reviewed by Virginia Carter. A statistic that sur­ faced as we pre­ pared our "Brief History of the Deerfield Library" — In 1930 we cir­ culated 1000 books per month; in 1991’92, we circulated 1000 per day! Yet Deerfield Library takes the smallest bite (2.5%) of the Village property tax payment and serves all ages. *** William Cormier reports a record 250 people came to the library for free tax assistance offered by the AARP and the IRS this year. That's 100 more than last year. Changes in the tax laws this year may have prompted the increased activity. * * 14- Summer's here. Please take care of our cassettes, videos and CD's! Don't leave them in the hot sun or the hot car. *** If you are homebound, or know any­ one who is unable to get to the library, BOOKS TO GO will come to you. Con­ tact Martha Sloan.

We will do this symbolically on the first day of National Library Week. We will have bands and ice cream and music, but the real celebration will be the recognition of the people who have made us the exemplary library we are today. I know there are a lot of people to thank. We know many of the people we want to thank during the recognition part of our celebration: Bob York, Tom Parfitt, Mary Mazur, Pat Horne and Keith Nickoley, are the easy names. What we really need help with is all the names of all the people who helped pass out handbills, held coffee hours, spoke at schools — those who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to pass the numerous referendums, bond issues, special legislation and court challenges that built this Library. It is often forgotten that this Li­ brary has had a long and colorful his­ tory full of wonderful personalities and issues. We have seen numerous tax fights, boundary squabbles, cen­ sorship battles, "Save Our Library " campaigns, along with agitated re­ former candidates. The present build­ ing and the services we offer did not just happen — they were the result of long, hard work by many concerned and visionary residents. The Library has withstood the test of time. If you know the names of those who made this Library possible, please take the time to write them down and let me know what they did — large and small — because every­ one is important.

The Library is 65 years old and they made it happen. We owe a debt of gratitude to those head Librarians who founded, nur­ tured, and developed the Deerfield Public Library. Starting in 1927 and progressing to today there have been: Mrs. Frank Russo, Mrs. Chester Wolf — for over 25 years, Mrs. Helen Haney, and the builder of this Library, Mrs. Suzanne Whetstone. They estab­ lished a Library that serves the com­ munity well and is a source of great pride. We also want to take time to ac­ knowledge the lasting contribution made to this community by a single individual. The Library will name its Young People's Department in honor of Dr. Diego Redondo. Since Dr. Re­ dondo touched and enriched the lives of so many of us — especially our children — it is fitting to create a per­ manent memorial for him. We will dedicate the Department in his honor during our Birthday celebration. Please let me know those names, and please come to our Party. You'll come for the nostalgia, but stay for the fun.

High Tech Speeds Periodicals Search While the Reader's Guide and the newspaper indexes are still options for searching for magazine and newspaper articles, the library now has a computer system called "InfoTrac" which allows patrons to search quickly for articles on specif­ ic topics from 1100 current maga­ zines and some newspapers. Each article description contains the headline of the story, the name New Officers Elected to Board Across the Librarian s Desbi Librarians are inextricably bound to books in their personal and professional lives, yet it is seldom that librarians are writers, or get to see a book in an early stage of production. This is especially true of reference books, since they are generally contract work done by very large publishers. Five or six reference book publishers dominate the field: Bowker, Gale, Wilson, Britannica, Dun and Bradstreet, and Standard and Poors. It is very unusual for an author or publisher to create a reference book that is new in concept, brilliant in organiza­ tion, with a scope and depth that ex­ of the publication, author, pages and length. Also, InfoTrac will sug­ gest related articles. You can print out this information (not the whole article)! If Deerfield does not own the magazine you need, we may be able to get a photocopy for you from an­ other library. ceeds existing works. Reference books by their very nature are cold and evolu­ tionary in their own way, written by professional writers who are more orga­ nizers and indexers than they are au­ thors. I feel privileged to have seen a book, early on, that contradicts this de­ scription. Two local authors, Imy Wax and Mary Beth Kravets have written a reference book — The K & W Guide: Colleges and the Learning Disabled Student that represents (Continued on p. 3) Tom Parfitt has stepped down as President of the Library's Board of Trustees after serving in this capaci­ ty for 20 years.

THE LIBRARV W/SHES YOU A HE HAP»yH NlVnM! �FRIENDS UPDATE Mission The mission of the Friends of the Deerfield Public Library is to provide support to the Library through funds, human resources and the sponsoring of community programs. Two Years Young In late 1989 a handful of community members organized Deerfield’s Friends of the Library. Over the past 24 months supportive, civic-minded village residents have swelled the Friends’ membership to over 40. With everyone’s contributions of time and energy, the Friends have been successful in carrying out its mission through fundraising events, volunteer support and education programs. May 1990 — Art Auction To make room for book shelves, the Library had to remove its display of art prints and end the service of loaning them. The Friends held an auction of the 175 prints as its first official fundraising event. October 1990 — Agatha Christie Centennial Friends sponsored a community program to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Agatha Christie. Preceding the lecture, the Friends hosted an authentic English tea. January 1991 — Library support Friends members volunteered to help at the Library-sponsored lecture and book sign­ ing for Shelby Yastrow, author of Undue Influence. April 1991 — Children’s Program Friends sponsored a children’s folk song fest and lively hoe down featuring Jenny Armstrong. July 1991 — Family Days Friends provided volunteers to help Library staff distribute lemonade during the 4th of July activities. August 1991 — Trunk Sale Community members are invited to fill their cars with all their “treasures” and sell them in the Library parking lot. The trunk sale is an annual fundraiser for the Friends who rent the Library’s parking spaces to sellers. Into the Future January 1992 — Children’s Program Punch and Judy come to Deerfield.

Experience a typical beginner gymnas­ tics class from practicing fundamen­ tals to exercising on the rings, balance beams and trampoline. the very best of what reference pub­ lishing should be. Written from the heart, with professional experience, this book will become a classic — used by parents, students, librarians and counselors alike. The K & W Guide fills a need and answers questions that no other book does. This is exceptional reference writing. I was, and still am, astonished by their effort. I have never seen a refer­ ence book in its first edition that has the content, scope, authority, organi­ zation and coverage that this book has. That two first-time authors could produce a book this comprehensive and discriminating is truly an accom­ plishment. When the authors showed me the book for the first time, I sus- pect they had an idea of just how out­ standing it is. Now we all know. Library Journal, the flagship of library magazines, has just given the book a starred review — the highest they give. A rave, it compares the K& W Guide to Lovejoy's Guide and finds it a superior book. I am sure it will be a standard reference book used in every library in this country. I am also sure that the authors will reap the re­ ward and recognition they deserve. The best part is that the parents and stu­ dents with learning disabilities will find the reassurance, support, hope and guidance they need. Well done, Imy and Mary Beth!

Some "HOT" survey statistics compiled from 500 completed surveys. The surveys were in the Spring Neivsletter mailed to all Deerfield resi­ dents. • 89.5% of respondents use the library at least once a month. • 46.8% of you are here weekly! • 75.5% of households use the library for special projects: i.e., starting a business, writing a resume, researching a purchase, building projects, vacation plans, doll and coin collections, etc. • Current fiction is exceedingly popular: 81.4% use this collec­ tion. • The staff is friendly and helpful according to 91.9% of those who use the library. • 72.8% of residents believe that the meeting rooms of the library play an important role; 92.9% want educational programs con­ tinued. Library Receives Gift of Piano The library has received a dona­ tion of a Kimball piano, the gift of Deerfield resident Esther B. Massover. We have wanted and needed a piano for many years, but the cost of such a fine ^ w. instrument has __ been reach. It shall I much J joy to community Si in future Q I ▼ years. Q • 99.1% of library users have bor­ rowed videotapes! • The bottom line is that 87.8% come to the library because it offers ser­ vices you enjoy! VOL. 6, NO. 4 A profile of the average Deerfield resident tells us that you are edu­ cated beyond college, your age is between 36 - 40 and your income, between $76,000 - $90,000. Do you realize that 95.4% of those receiving this newsletter read it regularly? Across the Librarian 's Desfci Edward R. Murrow described working in public life as a slippery slope. Having worked in public ser­ vice, for twenty years, I guess I would agree. I entered the library profession because of a lifetime interest in books and reading. What I found, of course, is that libraries, like everything else in life, are service industries where many, many people touch and enrich your life. The first project I was given when I came to Deerfield was to build a pup­ pet theater and do puppet shows for the public. I remember that summer very well, though many of the children and adults involved have since faded from memory. One little boy stands out clearly: a shock of red hair atop a face full of freckles. The relationship and friend­ ship that grew out of that summer of puppets came to include his parents and my family. The main product of a town like Deerfield is the young peo­ ple who grow up here but move else­ where once they are educated and grown. The everyday tragedy is that you seldom get to see them again. I followed this young man's educa­ tion and career as he moved from Deerfield to Urbana to Connecticut to New York, and then I lost track of him, as his parents moved away. The fond memories would come back now and then but they belonged to a period of 20 years ago. Last month I was in my office with a Library Trustee talking about the benefits of the Deerfield Library to our residents. This discussion took on several dimensions such as education, lifetime learning, and recreation. My assistant buzzed on my intercom that a young man was here to see me between planes at O'Hare and could he break up my meeting? The red hair was instantly recognizable. Well, to make a long story short, David had come to tell me what the Library had meant to him, how he had an edge over his classmates at Deerfield, University of Illinois and now at the Tokyo Bank where he is a Vice President. The reunion was nec­ essarily short but extremely heartfelt on both sides. I later got a call from New York to confirm several of the points he had made with me about the value of the Library in our com­ munity. "The library gives me the world," is how he put it. A sublime moment for an old reference librarian. "How'd you get him to do that?" was what my Trustee wanted to know. Some of us are just lucky. u — Jack Alan Hicks Administrative Librarian �ADULT PROGRAMS Programs are free, but reservations are requested.

Graham Greene died April 3,1991, but as "LeMonde" said the next day, "Graham Greene will never die... Greene has always been a man at the dizzying brink of things where faith wavers, spies become double agents, love turns to sadism, and anything can happen." No author I can think of wrote encom­ passing narrative characterizations like Greene. His novels were defined by charac­ ters and values (or lack of values) rather than plot. Greene was a master at describing time and place and drawing the reader straight into the dark and perverse side of a world where good and evil are exposed in every character. No author identified so clearly the underclass the world - what he termed "the torturable 'ass." No author understood the gulf be­ tween rich and poor, powerful and powerless Greene did. To me his themes were broad and universal - not confined to, yet focused on, healing, reconciliation and forgiveness. Greene penned these ideas in an outline of reverses: a world of betrayal, powerlessness, pain, and evil with the only redeeming dimension in life being the spiritual one. In The Power and the Glory he presents us with a novel of persecution and despair, yet it is a book that completely defines the spiritual side of man’s nature - regardless of religious tradition. Many books hold special moments for us, and we revisit them to regain those pleasures, or touch those moments. All readers have their favorite books - my favorites are almost all Graham Greene. The books I am recom­ mending are: Brighton Rock, The Comedians, The Heart of the Matter, The Honorary Consul, Our Man in Havana, The Power and the Glory, and The Quiet American. There are so many others I suggest you browse the shelves and read any and all of them. I will discuss The Power and the ory in the library’s fall book discussion.

Sr rr ""r l0-=- n �Non Resident Card Fees Increase Residents of incorporated Deerfield are entitled to free library cards. Non-residents who want a Deerfield card may purchase a ^m11 privileges non-resident library card for ^el50. This fee is set by the State and determined by a special formula related to residents’ lax fees. The non-resident card fee was formerly $125.00. The boundaries of service for Deerfield Library are the same as those of the village limits - NOT related to U.S. Post office ZIP codes or West Deerfield Township limits. With a Deerfield card you can borrow from any of North Suburban Libraries’ public libraries. (This may not include videos). F. Y.l. Fines... As of May 1, overdue fines were raised from five to ten cents per day. A significant line item in the budget, fines have not been al­ tered in 15 years. The increase also brings fines in line with what neigh­ boring libraries charge. Video overdue fines remain $2.00 a day. Since others may be waiting for the materials you have, we appreciate prompt returns. Reminder: If you lose or damage library books, there is a non refundable cost of the item plus a processing fee of $5.00. Un­ returned video: replacement cost, plus $20 processing fee. A new brochure, "A Guide to Library Services" is now at the Cir­ culation Desk. This brochure was made possible by a donation from the Friends of the Deerfield Library. Donations welcome... The Refer­ ence Department would appreciate donations of Consumer Reports magazines from the last five years. Due to heavy use, the library’s copies deteriorate quickly. With the cost of books spiraling, (average costs: nonfiction, $40 and fiction, $25) the library appreciates book donations, including paper­ backs, in good condition. The Townley Club of Deerfield generously donated $250 to replenish the library’s classics. We also thank those who have donated books, magazines and annual reports. Exhibits at the entrance to the library are changed monthly. We welcome your collections of inter­ est, with artifacts, if they relate to library books.________________ Check It Out i Reading Suggestions ADULT REFERENCE Doing Business in Chicago by Jeffrey Levine.

Her book, Terry Savage Talks Money., the Common Sense Guide to Money Matters, is "a reliable introduction to the widening world of do-it-yourself money management".

Tuesday, April 16, 7:30 p.m. "The Mystery of the Living Writer" is our gift to you for National Library Week. We wel­ come award winning author (20 years in the business), journalist and raconteur, Bill Brashler.

Brashler’s 1989 novel, Traders is a "provocative portrait of the Chicago Board of Trade." He is a lively speaker with a store of anecdotes who will share with us some advice about the craft of writing, getting published and surviving as an author. ENRICH YOUR LIFE.....ATDEERFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY With this spring newsletter, we introduce the new Deerfield Library logo. The logo, seen above on our new masthead, depicts a book whose spine and pages form the shape of a lotus blossom, the ancient symbol of self-creation. This identifying symbol, represents self enrichment through knowledge. The Library of Congress has designated 1991 the Year of the Lifetime Reader, so we celebrate LIFE and the connection between our materials and services and your daily lives. With our collections, we answer questions: What to name the new baby? A definition of ulcers and recipes for this condition? ^^low to take minutes at a business meeting? How to spell a ^Bvord, plan a wedding, make a business plan, give a value to Grandma’s vase, string some beads? We help you to learn, grow, solve, laugh, feel and cope. We enrich your life! BOOKS GIVE US WINGS A year ago I wrote in this column about the self-collapse of the Berlin Wall and the effect world-wide peace would have on genre fiction. I wrote a year too early. The war in the Middle East and the repression in Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia have a greater potential for disaster than any we have faced as a nation in the last forty years. I back our troops in the Persian Gulf and President Bush. I also respect those of us who choose to oppose this war. The U.S. Constitution guarantees freedom of speech-enabling citizens to voice opposi­ tion to governmental policy. About this right we should be resolute and justly proud. As a former Staff Sergeant in the 8th Infantry Division, I have strong feelings about the safety of our boys overseas. A concern closer to home are the racial and ethnic epithets that are heard to describe Middle Eastern peoples. These stereotypes must be rejected by all of us. I am impressed with President Bush when he speaks of a new world order emerging from this catastrophe. Hopefully, this will mean: a permanent rule of Inter­ national Law, a rejection of terrorism as an element of politics, a refusal to arm any tyrant with modern weapons, and an American foreign policy that rises above the failed concepts that have equated our friends as our enemy’s enemy. Can the epic Spring of 1990 still bloom into a world of peace? The book I am recommending this month is The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money, and Power by Daniel Yergin. Awash in a sea of oil this timely history traces man’s grasping for oil: the per­ sonalities, nationalism, and the drive for power and wealth that have created and exacerbated our current dilemma. **xs+^*s£*^t < YEAR OF THE LIFETIME READER 1991 Jack Alan Hicks Administrative Librarian �Enrich your life Adult Programs Unless noted allprograms arefree, but reser­ vations are requested.

You can now hear your favorite music on cassette or compact disc or listen to books on tape in the library. To do this, select your audio, check it out, ask for head­ phones, and leave an i.d. at the Circulation Desk. On April, 2 a local election will be held for two Deerfield library trustee positions. ^|wo incumbents, Sue Benn and Tony ^^abato, will run for re-election. Both 20 year residents of Deerfield, they have each had a number of years’ experience at board posts. Sabato has been board treasurer and Benn has served on committees of the seven member board. Also active in other Deerfield community activities, they are strong users and supporters of the library. The Library Board meets monthly, and elected members each serve six year terms. Their responsibilities include determining basic library policy, delegating administrative authority to the director, and overseeing all major expenditures. ■ It now costs 30 cents to reserve a Deer­ field book, due to the rise in postal rates; you are notified by mail when your book is in. When books are re­ quested from other libraries, there is no charge; you are notified by telephone. ■ Missing books cause the library lots of problems. The book you don(t return is the book the next person needs. TRUTH STRANGER THAN FICTION? ■ It is a true axiom that when times get tough, people use the library more. The first month of 1991, adult refer­ ence questions increased 19 9c from last year. January 1990: 1,716 ques­ tions answered. January 1991:2,047. The library has just received a new fic­ tion book about air combat in the Persian Gulf, First Air by Michael Skinner. Skinner, a former CNN writer, has published a tech­ no thriller whose images beam at us on the evening news. The political scenario is dif­ ferent, but its depiction of modern war, as it could happen (already has) in the Persian is eerily coincidental. ■ Friends of the Library group is becom­ ing active and vital. For $5 a year you can join. Applications at front desk. AND THE WINNERS IN THE CHILDREN’S CATEGORY ARE... CALLING OUT OF TOWN? Deerfield Library has always housed a variety of current out of town (USA) telephone directories. Further, in the past each North Suburban Public Library has "specialized" in a different state, in a cooperative sharing project. (Deerfield’s "state" is Arizona.) Now, public libraries are no longer able to receive a large variety of free city telephone books. Since costs will be levied, we are placing a survey form on each telephone directory to determine use pat­ terns and the most needed phone books. Please continue to ask the reference librarians for assistance with the out of state directories. The telephone directory issue has become a very complicated one for libraries. 1991 Caldecott Award for outstanding 1990 U.S. picture book: Black and White, written and illustrated by David Macauley.
