The Library’s Punch and Judy Players will celebrate their 30th birthday with a performance of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic —Treasure Island - an exciting tale of pirates Saturday, November 8 at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. (space limited, register early!) For all ages! The Library’s puppet theater was built in 1973 by Administrative Librarian Jack Hicks and was intended to last no longer than two or three years. That first year the theater was featured as the Library’s float in the Fourth of July Family Days Parade and was the focus of a summer long puppet workshop for sixth graders in the Youth Services Department. What grew out of a $400 gift from the Deerfield Newcomers Club in 1973 has 'M .1 now lasted 30 years and entertained thousands of children and their parents. Thanks r t v Newcomers. That first year saw the beginning of a repertoire puppet company—The Punch and Judy Players—which over the years has staged hundreds of performances. The plays remain the old standards—Sleeping Beauty, Treasure Island, Rumplestiltskin, Puss in Boots, Beauty and the Beast, St. George and the Dragon, Pecos Bill, Frog and Toad, Anansi the Spider, Three Billy Goats Gruff, as well as some written by Library staff—Dinosaurs in Deerfield and Masters of the Hidden Planet. The Punch and Judy Players themselves come from all the Departments in the Library— Jack Hicks and Sally Brickman, fy? Administration; Chris Kopeck and Cindy Schilling from Youth Services; Judy Hortin from Reference Services; Sidney Barnes, Circulation; and many others over the past 30 years. Our puppets were all designed and hand sewn by our Staff Artist, Betty Reschke. One of our greatest rewards comes when young parents relate to us that they saw a perfor­ mance at the Library when they were young and they have now brought their children to see Punch and Judy. Some people have asked why we still do puppet plays in the age of video and computer games. Simply because puppets are a counterpoint to Hollywood and TV. You do not need computers, play stations, Dolby, Panavision, Rambo, Power Rangers or Bat Man to entertain children and they get a full and steady dose of that kind of electronic entertainment elsewhere. We are convinced that puppetry reflects literature, encourages children to read, and makes the books they have read come alive to them. The puppets are in a child’s scale, they are a live performance, they stimulate imagination, and they are not seen elsewhere with any regularity. So, we invite one and all to celebrate 30 years with us as we perform an old favorite—Treasure Island. �Adult Programs Programs are free but reservations are requested.

The POL’s random telephone survey of 1,003 library users found that the library is serv­ ing the community well, with a great deal of satisfaction regarding current hours of operation and high positive ratings. “86% of library users rate Deerfield Library as “excellent, or very good”. Highest ratings went to a “helpful/knowledgeable staff’. A very large 85% of respondents were library cardholders and 73% of respondents had visited the library in the past 12 months. How do people use the library? Five main reasons include: recreational fiction and non­ fiction reading, borrowing videos, utilizing materials and programs, and using the library reference materials. The survey also showed that the majority of residents, regardless of length of residency in the community, responded favorably to expansion and most preferred expansion at the present location. A space needs study last spring by Anders Dahlgren of Library Planning Associates found that the library (currently at 31,162 square feet and fully used), should be 38,600 to 54,000 square feet just to meet the current needs to accom­ modate a growing print and non print collection as well as to meet the needs for reader seats, offices, library programs and story time rooms. Unfortunately vertical expansion in the present location is complicated and difficult as the building’s roof is not stressed for the load. During the summer the POL conducted twelve focus groups for staff, village officials, kids, parents, seniors, non users, younger childless residents and Riverwoods/ Bannockburn residents. All of the information culled from the survey and focus groups will become part of a long range plan to be developed by the library board. A long range planning committee of the board has already devoted many hours to preparing a documented plan/vision for the library which will best serve its thousands of users. The survey showed that patrons see the library’s role as a cultural and intellectual community center of the village with something to offer everyone; this will be taken into consideration in future planning. Reference copies of the completed space needs and community survey reports are avail­ able to the public at the Library’s Reference Desk. This online subscription database is avail­ able to all, free of charge, on computers in the Deerfield Library’s Reference Department. It is also accessible to Deerfield Library cardholders at home or work via the library’s website, www.deerfieldlibrary.org (Then click Online Databases, then Infotrac and be ready to enter your Deerfield library card number when asked). A useful tool for investors, business people, consumers and students, the Business & Company Resource Center database includes: magazine, journal, & newspaper articles (many full-text); indus­ try overviews & rankings; and a broad range of company information including financials & reports. In addition to the many periodicals indexed in full- text arti­ cles, other database sources include: American Wholesalers and Distributors Directory, Brands and Their Companies, Business Rankings Annual, Encyclopedia of Associations and more. For additional information and assistance please contact a reference librarian.

In short, it is Federal legislation enacted shortly after the 9-11 catastrophe that allows the government—the FBI—to look at library patrons’ record files, Internet access records, and any other record the Library keeps on its users or rou­ tine internal files used to operate the Library. This can be done without ben­ efit of traditional due process proce­ dures and carries extreme penalties to the Librarian for non-compliance, quick punishment if information about this governmental access is revealed— to anyone. The genesis of this Act stems from the idea that the 9-11 ter­ rorists used libraries as a base for their communication activities. Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis said ‘The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in the insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well meaning but without understanding.” Libraries have tradi­ tionally been strongholds of the Constitution’s guarantee of freedom of speech, the right to privacy, and the freedom of inquiry. Patron privacy and confidentiality have always been guiding continued on page 2 °°3 lri% Summer Reading Programs: “Lights, Camera, Read” June 16 to August 8 Adults: Movie stars aren’t the only ones reading scripts this summer.

I have been asked why I have not put up disclaimer signs like this informing our residents that their library records might be reviewed by the government without notice. The answer is sim­ ple: if I put up warning signs I would compromise even more the public’s reasonable expectation of privacy by warning them that in the library, privacy does not exist. Signs cancel any vestige of privacy. The Library has always followed, and will continue to follow the Illinois Compiled Statutes—provision 75ILCS 70/1-2—‘The Library Records Confidentiality Act”— which deals directly with the explicit right of all citizens to have their library records held in con­ fidence, but frankly that law is preempted and powerless in regard to the Patriot Act. I will take every measure in my power to ensure each resident’s right to privacy and confidentiality—but I am duty and honor bound to fully comply with the spirit and the letter of the Federal law. In the electronic age we are living at our most public. Everything we do is transmitted or recorded electronically, our paychecks are wire Graphic Artist Betty Reschke: In Memoriam On April 23,2003 the Deerfield Library staff lost a dear friend, who this year cele­ brated 34 years as a library employee. When our California-born graphic artist Betty was first employed the library was located in what is now the West Deerfield Township Office. In the present building her artistic flair blossomed in a “behind the scenes” I have no problem with the concepts surrounding national security. Surely, only a fool would think that we are not all vulnerable to internal terrorist acts and that these acts do not pose a serious, palpable reality. It is impossible for us to consider these issues wholly within the framework of the old ideas we held near and dear before the tragedy of 9-11.1 guess what bothers me about the Patriot Act is not that libraries have been thrust into the middle of a debate not of their making where they had no input, nor the lack of traditional due process, nor the invasion of privacy, nor the implied violation of hard won and cherished First Amendment rights. What does trouble me is that the Patriot Act can easily be seen as an insidious encroachment, first-step, beginning of an omni­ scient government. I certainly question the need for that step in a Constitutional Democracy. I am afraid, after all, that “the fault dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves”. Jack Alan Hicks workroom. She sewed hundreds of original puppets for the library’s puppet theater, pre­ pared posters for our programs using an ancient printing press, built large structures such as the 4th of July bookworm, a bam, a mural, exhibits and displays and fashioned countless creative projects. She responded immediately to our often last-minute requests. When she took ill several months ago she was re-sewing, for the umpteenth time, the cloth furniture and inhabitants of the little tree house (dollhouse) that has been a fixture in the Childrens’ department for decades. Betty had a multitude of interests including golf, swimming, jazz (especially at Ravinia), nature, the Southwest, and her Michigan summer retreat. Her many talents and cheerful smile will be greatly missed by the library staff and the public who so admired her hard work. In a 1997 Deerfield Review article celebrating the library’s 70th anniversary, Betty’s photo was featured and she modestly responded about her long tenure at the library “It’s just an enjoyable way to pass the time!” Betty lived in Highland Park and leaves two daughters. Her husband passed away several years ago. Youth Services’ Cindy Schilling holds the new puppets made by Betty this year. Cindy, a 13 year library employee, has just recently received her Masters in Library Science and we are proud of her! �prom Sunday Mueller, Newly Elected Library Board President What ayear ahead on the library board! 0„e of the challenges and greatest responsibilities of a board is long range planning, taking that long, hard look into the future and developing a vision as well as the plan to achieve it. Your library board is in full gear in this endeavor. We have been pleased to see the telephone survey results of over 1,000 area residents. Your thoughts and suggestions are helping us identify the issues to be explored in the 15 focus groups to be held this summer. If you can participate in one of these groups, please do. Our job as board members is to represent you, the community and all its diverse components, to our library. When considering changes to its operation, we strive to keep in mind all our constituencies and tty' to balance the needs of each group. Fortunately, the members of our board directly rep­ resent most of these groups and we are all frequent users of the library’s materials and facilities. Our efforts are easily a “labor of love”. I am pleased to serve as the incoming president and have several goals for the year ahead. Chief among them is reaching out to those of you who visit the library less frequently. I hope we can familiarize you with the wonderful services avail­ able there, including the services of our very peo­ ple friendly reference librarians. They stand ready and eager to help you find answers to your ques­ tions, to show you some of our amazing reference materials, and to help you search the ‘Net quickly and effectively. Considering the immense amount af information “out there”, I think you’ll find a Jbranan to be a valuable research partner. ■Ve continue to add to our collection, keeping our ■sers and changing technologies in mind.

Number A A Vision for the Library by Don Van Arsdale, Deeifield Library Trustee, Chair of the Long Range Planning Committee (and Director of the Winnetka Community House) D aniel Burnham said “make no small plans as they have no power to fire men’s souls”. Due in part to Mr. Burnham’s foresight and vision, we enjoy Chicago as one of the truly great cites in the world. Ten years ago, the Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees and staff created a Master Plan for the library. Using community input, this process resulted in a plan which improved the library facility in many significant ways. Some of these improvements include: the opening up and renovation of the lower level resulting in the Tom Parfitt Adult Fiction Room, the installation of a public elevator, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) improvements, renovation of the children’s reading room, instal­ lation of a new computer system, remodeling of the front lobby and the purchase of new materials. continued on page 2 Board President Sue Benn Retires We are grateful to Sue Benn who has served on the Deerfield Library Board of Trustees for 27 years and as president for the past twelve of those years. In April she will step down from her post. Originally appointed to the Board, she became interested in the library while working on book sales with the Library Friends Group. Subsequently, she ran for office and won four elections, each requiring six year terms. She has particularly enjoyed the board work because of the variety of personalities and friends she’s made along the way. . " «r- ^ ■v .j 1 ' I t * / . Sue Benn She has observed many changes in the Village since moving here in 1955 and raising her three children in Deerfield. “Life was simpler then,” she said “yet there has been continuity in the library. It’s like raising a child; you don’t notice the growth because you are so close to it.” She has overseen a new roof, boiler system, major building renovation, ongoing computer tech­ nology, policy changes and the challenge of making best use of available space. Her fondest accomplishment has been hiring and supporting Jack Hicks as administrative librarian. “Jack has hired an excellent staff, main­ tains contact with the Village, the library profession, computers and a myri­ ad of details.” Having worked so closely with staff and board on so many projects she feels she is leaving a family. She modestly says of her years on the board— “I got more than I gave.” An active community member, Sue was elected 2002 “Volunteer of the Year” at the Chicago Botanic Garden, and has many interests. She and her husband Walt particularly enjoy trips to visit her children. She plans to keep a close eye on the library’s future and to continue visiting almost daily as she does now. (She might even volunteer again for the “sticky job” of. lemonade service in the library which she has done every year for July 4th Family Day). On April 1 the Village will hold an election for a total of three openings on the library board. �Adult Programs Programs are free but reservations are requested.

Once again, we are looking to our residents for input on how the library can serve your needs in the future. We want to solicit your ideas about our services, materials, hours, staff, programs, and facilities. Your thoughts and opinions are essential to the success of our plan. If you are contacted by POL, please take the 5-10 minutes to complete the telephone survey. If you are con­ tacted to participate in a focus group, please consider say­ ing yes. We have contracted with the Public Opinion Laboratory (POL) of Northern Illinois University to conduct a telephone survey. Additionally, POL will conduct a series of focus groups where we will delve into the information gleaned from the telephone survey. We will listen and consider the results of these conversations as we begin planning and visioning the future of the Deerfield Public Library. The library services are here for your enjoyment. We know you want this to be an excellent community resource. We want to position this library to meet the needs of current and future patrons. Like Daniel Burhnam, we understand that to prepare for the future, you must plan for the future. Shelving in the “West Wing" main floor of the library has been remodeled for videos, DVD's, CD's and audio books. Now there is space to grow and to increase our collections. If you have any trouble locating materials, please ask a reference librarian for assistance. 7th Annual Rosemary Sazonoff Creative Writing Event For adults, the “contest” was a little different this year and very special.

The birds, for example where had they gone? Many people spoke of them, puzzled and disturbed. The feeding stations in the backyards were deserted. The few birds seen any­ where were moribund; they trem­ bled violently and could not fly. It was a spring without voices. On the mornings that had once throbbed with the dawn chorus of robins, catbirds, doves, jays, wrens, and scores of other bird voices there was now no sound; only silence lay over the fields and woods and marsh. So began opening passages in Rachel Carson’s 1962 classic, cautionary, tale Silent Spring. The message of that book was immediate and lasting: what man does to alter his environment can sow the seeds of a terrible harvest. That book detailed the inexorability, precision, and terrible lasting price of unintended consequences. Those lines were recalled to me late this summer when my neighbors and I realized that the chorus of birds our neighborhood had always enjoyed was silent. Gone were the sparrows, the crows, the blue jays and robins, gone were almost all the birds except ones passing through. No longer was I awakened to the raucous caws of a family of crows that frequented my backyard, no more brazen blue jays. In fact no birds at all. The cause is, of course, the West Nile Virus. Illinois leads the nation in human cases of the illness and in the number of deaths attributed to it. For reasons seemingly unknown to sci­ ence, Illinois is the epicenter of this new and baffling illness and the first to fall are our friends the birds. As Rachel Carson had so accurately predicted, the birds acted as the barometer of the health of the environ­ ment. Well-meaning voices have been raised to resurrect the use of DDT—one of the most dangerous and persistent poisons ever devised by man—as a possible cure. One can only ponder if the old vaudeville punch line wouldn’t literally be true: the proposed cure being worse than the disease. I have watched through late summer and now into fall for a return of the birds to my yard. A few have come, but are quickly gone, and no crow caws for my arising. Over the years hundreds and hundreds of sparrows have called my backyard home and my birdfeeder their Sunset Foods. I have housed, fed, and nurtured a sprawling family of sparrows in my yard for twenty-five years. This spring there were brood after brood of new hatchlings in that birdhouse—the insistent peeping announcing a new brood and the exit of the fledglings. Recently, I started to clean out my bird houses as I do every fall—so that next year’s birds will have a clean start on their child rearing. The wren house was empty, the second general purpose house always cherished by starlings was too. But the home place for my sparrows brought upset. Amidst all the string, and feathers, and sticks, and fluff there were the little abandoned nests—forlorn in their vacancy. The final nest brought sorrow. In it were three tiny shriveled, mummified, sparrow nestlings and three unhatched eggs. The birds I carefully buried in my flower garden along with two cracked eggs. The third egg, perfect, speckled in mot­ tled gray, white and brown. I put it in a finch’s nest I had brought home from a backpacking trip of forty years ago. I don’t know why. This seems like a fall to reflect on unintended conse­ quences and the price to be paid for our folly, hubris, or ignorance. Those little dead birds broke my heart. I had not had the good sense to realize that West Nile could strike so quickly as to kill the parents in mid-flight. The victims of our stupidity are always the tiny, the power­ less, the innocent. The solutions I will leave to better minds. But as Rachel Carson warned—it is always a dis­ aster to rush headlong to conclusions, to push for solu­ tions that may destroy more than they save, or to trust loud voices more than good sense. Too many lessons, it seems, get forgotten.

It was located inside the Deerfield Grammar School • •;* •••' V . 9\*rr > v 1 to the west of the current Deerfield School i Administration Building and H Deerfield Historic Village. The Grammar School has since been tom down. Muriel Zahnle, then h •1 . •* ! “You have to understand I was looking at it from a little girl perspective. We entered from the outside of the building, through the white double doors. I could smell the new varnish and marveled at the new shiny unmarked maple floors. The windows were bright, with no coverings. The wood was light, but there was no front desk like our library today. The librari­ an Mrs. Wolff sat at a yellowish teacher’s desk. She stacked the books on her desk as they were returned. We had cards to sign books in and out, and Mrs. Wolff had a stamper. My favorite books were the Bobbsey twins and all those other twins books, the Eskimo twins, the Japanese twins, etc. The books in those days were bound in one color: red, blue, etc. and had few illustrations. The library was only in one room.” “There was no furniture to sit on like we have today, and the hours were 2-5 p.m. a few days a week as I recall. Mrs. Wolf (the librarian) was always available and remembered your name. She was a small, gentle person with large glasses who serviced her readers, always finding the right book for the right person. It was friendly because she made it friendly. She had a card catalog but the budget must have been limited because she always welcomed donations. I enjoyed her. Her assistant was a young, slim Mrs. Dobbins.” “I had never been in a library before. On a summer’s day my girlfriends and I would walk across Waukegan Road (from Osterman where Muriel lived), past the Standard Oil filling station. We often stopped at Herman’s ice cream parlor. (Deerfield Commons was a field.) We had room to roam and could go safely. The library took care of activity during the long summer; we had lots of time to browse. You could take books out for several weeks but you couldn’t call the auto­ matic renewal number from home like you can now! The library was too small to be a social center as it is now; instead, Deerfield was a small church community. It is such a different town for me now.” Muriel continued her visits to the library’s next home at the 758 Waukegan Rd., a converted storefront, and then to the third site which is now the West Deerfield Township “Mrs. Wolf (the Building. Despite living a short time in Michigan, she librarian) was and her husband Tom always available returned to Deerfield and raised four children using and remembered the library throughout the years for resources ranging your name.” from home repair to chil­ dren’s term papers. Of course she recalls when the library moved to its present loca­ tion in 1971; she worked on the referendum that built this library. “We love reading around the fireplace now.” A life­ time library user, Muriel enjoys biography, drama, and cookbooks. She espe­ cially appreciated the talking books when she had problems with her eyesight. As Muriel has been a library user for 75 years, Jack Hicks, Administrative Librarian, said simply, “Muriel, you are a library success story!” Muriel Zahnle, now �Book Discussions in the Fiction Room Youth Services Morning Discussions, 10:30 a.m. Circus Day! ■ Thursday, September 12 Seabiscuit, An American Legend by Laura Hiilenbrand.

Sometimes in ajarring fashion, sometimes just a friendly glance back. The recent death of Cyrus Vance had both those effects on me. In what seems like another life, a long time ago, I and about a dozen other soldiers had lunch with Cyrus Vance. It was one of those touchstones in life that you remember with great clarity. I was a kid sergeant in the 8th Infantry Division and Cyrus Vance was Under Secretary of Defense. Memory no longer recalls what I ate for breakfast yesterday, but I can remember clearly Cyrus Vance standing three feet away and telling me how important my military job was. I also remember exactly what we had for lunch, (inch-thick New York cut sirloin never seen before or after on any of my Army chow lines.) We all thought Cyrus Vance was impressive that day, he presented himself well—good speaker, direct gaze, no-nonsense—talk about charisma. Lost to memory is why he actually came to visit our unit, but he sure did and his government led us into a dark morass. Memory is a mystery: so much tiny detail gets stored away, but so much just gets tossed aside by the memory process, apparently as unnecessary to our day-to-day existence. But the special events, the rallying points of our lives, stay with us. Defining moments like the day we were married, when our children were bom, or when we graduated from college or fell out of the apple tree and broke our arms. All of these defining moments get frozen in time for later rec­ ollection. I am sure they get planted because they are special—not done everyday—one special event out of a million and one routine days. The Library is approaching just such a defining moment like that and I would like to talk about it. For the past ten years the Library has worked on upgrading and renovating every aspect of the building, collection, programs, and services we offer. This started out with the replacement of aging boilers but led to serious ADA remodeling, a new accessible elevator, creating a new Fiction Room, total renova­ tion of the main floor and then the Youth Services Department. The final phase of the project was to move away from the JCPL computer consortium and install our own computer. In the meantime we developed and enlarged the book collection to the point that Deerfield has the highest book-per-capita ratio of any library on the North Shore. Programs were added and expanded, and services were extended. What guided the project from begin­ ning to end was vision and a pretty durable long-range plan. But that is now all the past. The long range planning and goal-setting that drove us for ten years has been accomplished; now a future plan lies ahead. Marshall Field made a fortune and J.D. Powers has made an industry out of the old phrase “give the lady what she wants”. The hard part is knowing what the lady, indeed, wants. “Librarian in the Lobby” is a program the Board added ten years ago to help us know what it is our residents want and also how well or how poorly they think we are doing. This project was original to this Library and has proved of lasting benefit. Not only has the Board shown accountability and access, but now we have a good profile of who uses the Library, what they think about us, and how they perceive the future. We look to the future as a great opportunity and the planning process as a way to define what the Library is and how we serve our residents. The new Long Range Plan will be our guide; we want you all on board. What does this mean? First, we have no preconceived ideas as to the destination of this plan.There will be study, focus groups, surveys, and I am sure midnight oil burned on many long evenings before you tell us what you want us to be. What we are looking for is mission and goal—what we will study will be services, hours, programming, staffing, technology, community partnerships (such as the ones we have with AARP, the Historical Society and the National Family Partnership) parking and access. We will also study you, our resi­ dents, and we want you to help us. We will do a lot of analysis of our strengths and weaknesses. Using our crystal ball will be the way we try to put dimension on the future. We all know how fast technology has changed us, who can grasp the acceleration of that change? We will try. What we seek is a durable and authentic game plan to take us ahead another ten years and serve us well as the old plan did. Who will help us? We hope all of you will to one degree or another. For starters we have engaged the Executive Service Corps to survey staff benefit and salary packages. What will follow will offer many oppor­ tunities for community involvement. We take this process seriously, we want no false starts, expensive failures or dark morass in our future operations. We want to serve our residents with exactly the programs, materials, services, and atmosphere they desire. In this era of communication, technology and information the possibilities are limitless. Now, you ask what in the world does Cyrus Vance have to do with the Library’s Long Range Plan? To me the Long Range Planning process is like Vance’s visit. It is going to be a defining moment in the history of this library and that memory will last, for good or ill, for a very long time. Unlike my hazy, unclear, memory of Vance’s motives and intentions the Library Board wants our intentions to be clear- Yes, like Vance we want to present well, we want to speak clearly, we goingt0 have a direct g®2®.no nonsense, and (hope­ fully) be charismatic. Unlike the Army, we want to put steak on your plate every time you come into the Library. We plan to involve everyone in Deerfield in our planning process. Importantly, we don’t want anyone feeling— “why did they do that”? We want this defining moment to be a long lived one that is remembered like a favorite birthday.

Deerfield Assets for Youth Program This spring the library began participating in a community-wide initiative sponsored by the National Family Partnership of Deerfield to emphasize important develop­ mental assets for youth.

Russo opened the Library doors for the first time on New Years Day, January 1927. Since that time the Library has been housed in the Deerfield Grammar School, next into a storefront by the old Callner Building, then stored away in a number of base­ ments and garages to be shelved in the Township build­ ing, and since 1971 here at the present location. The longevity and success of this library has been the result of the vision, hard work and dedication of many people over a long period of time truly a collaborative effort. The present building was built in response to a study done by the Deerfield League of Women Voters in 1967 which found the old library seriously deficient. In seven­ ty-five years there have been five Directors: Mrs. Russo, Mrs. Wolff, Mrs. Haney, Mrs. Whetstone and me. There have been many defining moments since that New Years Day in 1927 for the world, nation, Village, and the Library. Lindbergh flew the Atlantic that year and dra­ matic change has been a way of life ever since. The library as an institution has changed more in the past fif­ teen years than it did in the past one hundred and fifty. In the span of my library career the library universe has grown globally from the size of a single room to a reach that encompasses every part of the world. With comput­ ers, libraries moved from the 19th Century to the 21st Century in a single leap. Library services, formats, mate­ rials, and techniques have all changed, and will continue to change. What has not changed for libraries is that at the heart of everything we do are the residents we serve. Many pundits have predicted the demise or death of the library as an institution with the advent of computers and the Internet. Our statistics, numbers, and usage here in Deerfield do not lend that theory much credence. Our percentage of resident cardholders, our circulation and our reference question totals show an active clientele, while statistics from the Youth Services Department show a growing service population. Ttoo flourishing mega-bookstores in our community validate this as a neighborhood of readers. The Library has kept abreast of current computer technology tools of access, Internet connections, and web-based services being only some of our services. E-books and downloaded services are just around the corner. But books will still remain crucial to our long range mission. Why do I say that? Recent events like the Enron scandal with the loss of computer data, the use of computers by terrorists, the destruction of records in the World Trade Tower disaster, the general impermanence and volatility of computer stored data, the disappearance of the National Park Service website make it clear that permanent paper records and books still have a very important role to play in history and in society. Until e-books are cheaper, more inclusive in the titles they purvey, and a lot easier to use, they will not replace books. The major break through for e-books will come when students download all their text and work books in a single cheap, simple, device and throw away their backpacks. Even when that day dawns, as I am sure it will, books will remain viable because there is no profit to be made from converting old books into new technology just ask the failed Netlibrary. As everyone knows in this techno-age, profits drive products and if libraries do not preserve our soci­ ety’s culture no one else will. Remember, books were the first solid-state, random-access memory device and remain effective; they also don’t fail when the lights go out. So even at the advancing age of seventy-five the Library stands ready to move into the 21st Century. Our staff is trained and prepared, the formats and media are chang­ ing daily, the Library will respond as it has always responded; with hands-on personal service for our resi­ dents in a professional, intelligent and literary manner. It has been an exciting seventy-five years for libraries and the next seventy-five will be even more so. Libraries really are the leaders in information age technology. Come on in and check us out!

With no taxing power, the original incorporators relied upon donations from the community, led by the Deerfield Chamber of Commerce. In 2002, we celebrate 75 years of serving Deerfield.

That act dwarfs, in sheer magnitude, any previ­ ous catastrophe to befall America. Mere words fail. A defining moment none of us will ever forget. In the days and weeks that followed it was clear to me that in an important way the terrorists had failed. Instead of divid­ ing and terrorizing us, that terrible day had acted to pull us together. The flags, the universal respect for the police and fire departments, the calm and measured actions of the Federal government all reinforce the unity that came to us that terri­ ble September morning. Those airplane disasters were intended to cripple us, instead they united us. What will the long term require of us? Certainly this will not be a quick and easy campaign against a silhouetted enemy like Desert Storm. The struggle we are embarking on is one of shadows and stealth where the force of our weapons will not be as important as the power of our ideals for this is a war against a mindset, a subculture, a blooded network of disaffection and hate. An enemy banded by a hate that has been festering for years. This is a target that will not succumb to standing still and letting us take a shot at them. Maybe more importantly this is not a war against a country; this is a war against vengeful individuals who hate the U.S. History really does not supply a convenient precedent for us to benchmark. This is all new territory, this is not Desert Storm and this is not Vietnam; it could end up being more like the Marshall Plan. The world has changed, and not just on September 11th. It is now clear that prior to the World Trade Towers we Americans were unaware of the depth and breadth of the hatred arrayed against us. Certainly there are glib parallels to our tortured attempt in Vietnam to win the hearts and minds where we won no hearts or minds. But that was a local conflict with local goals; any domino effect was only in our imagination. It is clear to us that the threat of this brand of terrorism crosses many borders, political and economic lines; and is deep seated and widespread. That these groups can thrive in the U.S. is a product of our open society; that they can also thrive hidden in the former Soviet Union demonstrates the power of the hate aligned against us. Resolution of this war will not be simple; it will be complex. It will not be cheap but there is no choice; if we fail we could face a new dark age. There was a Greece, a Rome, a Byzantium and a Dark Age. Will we win this struggle is a question we all ask. I am optimistic. No other country in the world compares to us; we are generous, compassionate, energetic, entrepreneurial, fun loving, full of opportunity, open, and decent. We have faced difficult challenges in the past and we will face up to this one. I have thought about WWII, a time when I was a kid. We sat by the radio, we read the newspapers everyday, we watched the newsreels. The war was far away. Now it is close. I clearly remember President Roosevelt talking about the Four Freedoms and why the war was being fought. I can still recite those freedoms: freedom of speech, free­ dom of religion, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. Those freedoms are real; they still define this country. What of our opponent? Blood, hate, politics, religion, and envy sure make a poison soup. The heart of their values stand starkly against ours. Freedom of speech? No such concept. Freedom of religion? Only as far as you practice their brand of state religion. Freedom from want? Want is their universal. Freedom from fear? Fear is the terrorist stock in trade. Unraveling this potent enemy will take time. Will we win? You can count on it. >1 — U Jack Alan Hicks Administrative Librarian file • Renew Deerfield books, CD’s or audio cassettes by phone 24 hours a day. Number is 847-945-3782.

The Pearl Harbor attack was a national tragedy whose effect we feel sixty years after it happened. Now we have a film of the sneak attack which not only gets history very wrong but sanitizes the whole event into politically correct entertainment. For many reasons, this film is a dis­ service to both history and the men and women who died on December 7th, 1941. For the U.S., Pearl Harbor was perhaps the formative event of the 20th Century. It has dominated U.S. military and foreign policy for sixty years. I am not criti­ cizing the current film, in fact its use of computer animation is nothing short of fantastic, but I am criticizing Hollywood’s misuse of history. Why worry about a film's inaccurate portrayal of an historic event? Recent studies indicate that less than 50% of the American public reads anything at all—no magazines, no newspapers, no books, no recipes, nothing. That is a disgraceful problem. If half the people get all their information and form decisions based on what they hear on radio, see on tv, and watch at the movies, and all history is presented via the media in the form of special effects entertainment, we as a nation are trading on the dangerous ground of delusion. To think that people watch Oliver Stone's warped versions of history and do not know that these films are gross distortions is a sobering, upsetting, notion. The old adage is true: a person who doesn't read is no better off than the person who can't read. Not long ago a young man writing an honors paper about Pearl Harbor asked me if I could help him with his research. His thesis was simple: the Japanese had attacked Pearl Harbor in order to get control of the atomic bomb. When I showed him that the atomic bomb did not exist at the time of Pearl Harbor, that in fact the bomb existed only as a response to that attack, the young man recoiled at the idea. Why then did the Japanese mount the attack? When I showed him that the attack was aimed at destroying the American Navy, he became incredulous and quite hostile. Why on earth would the Japanese do that? Why indeed? The recent film doesn’t give anyone a clue, it provides no historical context, draws bizarre conclusions, presents a depersonalized catastrophe as history. If the film had just stuck to drama it would be fine, but as presented it dis­ graces an event that is sacred in American history. I guess there is another deep down, nagging, issue for me. So many films like Platoon, Born on the Fourth of July, Apocalypse Now, The Thin Red Line, even the goofy Patton, (with a notable exception of the absur­ dist noir classic, Dr. Strange!ove,) pose as anti-war films. It gives them a chic legitimacy, a closer look convinces that these are not anti-war films at all. At heart they are anti-military, yet glory in death, violence, and atrocity. It doesn’t trouble me that people flock to see films that revel in violence, it bothers me that they accept what they have seen as truth and fact. If you need to see an anti-war film look at All Quiet on the Western Front, or Glory. If you want to see the real results of war, look at Shoah, The Sorrow and the Pity, The Best Years of Our Lives, or the chilling recent Macedonian film, Before the Rain. For anti-war films that pull no punches, find the older Japanese films, Harp of Burma or Fires on the Plain. Better than that, read any recent Time article about the Serbian massacres at Suva Reka. But if history must be learned from film and media, look at sources that put history into clear focus, not films that ask us to accept death as entertainment and distorted history as reality. Jack Alan Hicks Administrative Librarian ^er Take a book to bed, not to bath! Books and water don’t mix. Literally hundreds of books have been returned to the library in a dampened, unusable condition. Since others are waiting for the book you have on loan, please handle carefully and remember that other people want to read this same book. When the library must replace a damaged book, there is a charge for the book and an additional $5.00 processing fee. Why? Glenn Poch, Head of Technical Services, says that book (and cassette) processing is time con­ suming and costly. We cannnot simply switch with a new book from a book store. Often we buy books specifically bound for heavy library use. Preparationfor patron use includes: with­ drawing the damaged book, reordering, receiv­ ing, invoicing, cataloging, adding to our data­ base, labeling, adding security & date due slips, laminating and stamping. Also add the cost of bar codes and other materials to staff time. It takes a whole Technical Services Department to handle withdrawing, purchas­ ing, and preparation of the materials you and others want to borrow!

Anderson Retires from Library Board After twenty- four years of service, John Anderson has moved to Wauconda. He was a Deerfield resident for thirty- four years. vr First elected in 1977 and reelected in four subsequent elections, Anderson’s term spanned the period from when the library was new all the way through the recent renovations. He provided leadership for two library directors: Suzanne Whetstone and Jack Hicks. A multi-faceted man, Anderson was a strong advocate of freedom of speech, access by all residents to all forms of information and of library literacy. He pressed for renovation and the new comput­ er system and he was instrumental in bringing videos and other AV for­ mats to the library. He said, “Many problems were solved during my tenure. I was glad to have been able to contribute to this great library.” WL ■ The library runs regular monthly columns in The Chamber of Commerce Docket and the local What's Happening. Watch for these! Three Board Members Elected Jeffrey Blumenthal, Donald Van Arsdale and David Wolff were elected to serve on the Deerfield Library Board of Trustees at the April 3 Village of Deerfield election. All three have previ­ ously served on the board. David Wolff has been a board member for 12 years and held the office of secretary. Blumenthal had been appointed last year. Both Blumenthal and Wolff will serve six year terms. Van Arsdale served on the Board in 1994, and will fill the remaining four year term of Yvonne Sharpe who resigned to move to Riverwoods. All three newly elected trustees are strong library users and supporters. The Deerfield Library Board of Trustees holds open meetings the third Wednesday of every month at 8 p.m. Under 18 Video Policy Changed Matt requested and the board responded.... Joan Bairstow, right, Deerfield Library Head of Circulation, gladly implemented the board’s new video policy suggested by Deerfield student Matt Tick, at left. Matt Tick, Deerfield High School stu­ dent, made a presentation to the library Board of Trustees, and the Board respond­ ed by changing the video policy for those under 18 years of age. The new policy states that when a parental permission release form is on file in the library, juve­ nile patrons may borrow video/DVD mate­ rials on their own cards. Parents must give the permission in person, and must assume full responsibility for return, damage, fees or fines for materials loaned under the pol­ icy. The library is held harmless from the loan of any material. Policies and permis­ sion slips are available at the front desk. See inside for Music in the Fiction Room on Saturday, June 9th.

Many, like Rosemary Sazonoff, were Deerfield stalwarts; many were not known by the public but made strong contributions to this library benefiting the residents and the staff. John was not the longest serving board member of memory. That honor would go to former Board President Tom Parfitt, with current President Sue Benn right behind in length of service. It is hard to sin­ gle out individuals but some do stand out. Longtime Treasurer Tony Sabato, who passed away last winter, taught me all I know about tax levies and public finance. Rosemary Sazonoff taught me the power of the press; Wilbur Page taught me respect for the physical plant and how to take care of it. Sue Benn, especially, has shepherded me through all our renovation projects for the past eight years and I owe her more than I can tell. It is with sadness that we note the death of former Board Member Charlene Reich in early May; she served with distinction. Currently the library has a mix of old and new board members. Sue Benn brings over twenty years experience to the table, David Wolff twelve years. Our younger members Don Van Arsdale, Sunday Mueller, Jeff Blumenthal and Ken Abosch bring a renewed sense of energy and enthusiasm as we look forward to long range planning and needed community assessment to prepare ourselves for the future. Bill Seiden has agreed to fill John Anderson’s position on an interim basis. This board truly reflects the residents of Deerfield and will be a great asset as we move into the reality of the information age. As if we needed proof that it is indeed a small world we live in, this spring Bill Seiden, current President of the North Suburban Library System Board, and I were in Washington, D.C. for the American Library Association’s Legislative Day. At the debriefing session held after a long day on Capitol Hill I chanced to look over at one of our fellow library advocates. I asked him immediately if he was the Don McCurry who served so ably on the Deerfield Public Library Board twenty years ago. Don’s reponse was, “How in the world did you know that?” It was easy. Don had been a great board member. He had made strong contri­ butions to the library, and had make a lasting impression. He was in Washington as a board member of the Northern Illinois Library System headquartered in Rockford. It seems Don has been involved in library service for many years. At this point it finally occurred to me that as boards have a tremendous impact on their libraries, so do libraries have a lasting effect on the board members themselves. It was a fine moment when I introduced a current board member to one from many, many years ago. Past and present became one, leading me to feel confident about this library’s future.
