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.

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.

Young People’s Calendar , Clip Please don't be a "no show." If your child is registered and cannot attend, notify the library. If a child is absent without notification, that child's place will be given permanently to a child from the waiting list. I Pre-school storytimes are one of a child's first group experiences. In an 8 week session, a group identity develops which is an important part of that expe­ rience. Therefore, it is essential to fill the group with those who are interested in attending regularly. Make A Present New!!! Tot Time Children in K-2nd grade are invited to make "one-of-a-kind" presents in work­ shops at 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Saturday, November 21. Pre-registration required; preference to Deerfield cardholders. Fridays, Sept. 18, Oct. 23, Nov. 20 11 a.m. to noon. Drop in. Summer Reading Tally A new monthly program for tots (infants to 2 years) and their parents/caregivers offers a sharing, group library experience: not a storytime format, but very short sessions of finger games, songs, an introduction to good books and records. Adults in attendance should also enjoy exchanging ideas in an informal setting. Older pre-school siblings welcome. For every book read in the summer Youth Services Reading Club, children put a bean in a jar at the front desk. By August 1, there were 7359 beans in the jar! 305 children received certificates for finishing their "Discover! Read!" membership. Two hundred joined the first Deerfield Library Adult Summer Reading Club, "Explore New Worlds." Members read a minimum of 6 books, 3 in a foreign setting. A valuable gift to the community is a read­ ing list compiled from readers' suggestions.

We all know about Abraham Lincoln, but the story of Illinois is an incredible tapestry of people and events that cover far more than only one man. For instance, how many people know that George Rogers Clark marched a Revolutionary War army straight across Illinois to attack the fort at Vincennes, Indiana, from the west? Or, that at its peak, Cahokia Mounds was one of the largest cities in the world? £ My wife and I have enjoyed traveling ** J?ttend the around Illinois visit­ Fall Festival ing places such as at the Village on Kaskaskia, the Sun., Sept. 12** Menard House, Fort Du Chartes, Vandalia, New Salem, Springfield, Cahokia Court House, Bishop Hill, Nauvoo, Galena, Shawnee Town and the Cahokia Mounds—a site of such interna­ tional importance that it has UNESCO protection. Luckily, you do not have to go very far to experience our own history. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Deerfield Area Historical Society and Historic Village. The Society was here when I moved to Deerfield 21 years ago and I assumed it had been a Deerfield fix­ ture for ever—and was somehow selfperpetuating.

What I have learned over time, of course, is that the Historic Village is not self-per­ petuating, and what a huge difference a (Continued on p. 2) Vol. 8, No. 4 Library Can Serve Special Needs To comply with the new Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Deerfield Library is in the process of installing a new accessible elevator, accessible restrooms, lowered telephone, lowered Circulation Desk, lowered drinking fountains, assisted door openers, ramps, signage, and new door hardware. The Library has also added a Visual-Tek magnifying reader, a TDD telephone for communications and will add a new ADA catalog terminal. The Chicagoland Radio Information Service has also provided two radios which offer news from local newspapers for patron use. If you or anyone you know requires any accommodation or if you have a question about ADA compliance, please call the Administrative Librarian at 945-3311. The library maintains a large selection of large print books, books on tape, and has home delivery through our Books-To-Go program. We also can be a contact for the Library of Congress talking book program, The Library staff is always interested in your suggestions. It Would Help Us If: • You bring your library card when you want to take out a book. In lieu of your card, you must have a valid i.d. • Should you lose a book and need to pay for it, we must replace the book; do not bring us your replacement. 0 If you have ordered an interlibrary loan book, we will call when it arrives. Please be \ sure to pick it up. Library statistics show that the average cost for a completed interlibrary loan transaction can be $30. This is a free service to our patrons. • If your community organization needs to book a meeting room, one of your group must have a Deerfield Library card. Reservations may only be made 3 months in advance. Librarian in the Library Jack Hicks, Library Director and a member of the Board of Trustees will continue their successful monthly "in person suggestion box" on Tuesday, September 14 from 7 to 9 p.m. They will meet the public informally in the front lobby to listen to ideas, con­ cerns and plaudits from community resi­ dents. Librarian in the Lobby will also meet the public on Monday evenings, October 11 and November 8. Gail Ml Head of Patron Services Supervising the seven day operation of Deerfield Library's Circulation Desk is Gail Kroll who holds a Master's Degree in Library Science from Rosary College and worked for 6l/i years at Northbrook Library's Circulation Desk. She also managed three Crown Bookstores and the Northwestern University Bookstore (Student Center). Gail did undergraduate work at Carleton College and University of Grenoble, France.

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! Thanks to The Townley Club of Deerfield, The Junior Women’s Club of Deerfield, the Amy Simon Fund donors and others, the library has been able to purchase many books to develop , the collection for you.

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.

For many years she had been an active member of the library board and the Deerfield community. The library staffwill use the funds for an annual Rosemany Sazonoff writing contest for the community. This is a fitting memo­ rial to Sazonoff who was a journalist for the Pulitzer Lerner Newspapers. The contest will be held in spring. The Danish comic piano player, Victor Borge, made a career of onstage talk—made doubly meaning­ less by the delivery itself—horrible mispronunciations that were often the literal interpretation of the writ­ ten word.

The events of a small town summer in 1948 forever alter 12 year old David Haydens view of his family. �Librarian's DesH continued it must to cope with the nature of a dynamic society—dead languages reflect dead cultures. The way our language is evolving, what we are soon going to have is a cross between Victor Borge and the brutal language in Anthony Burgess’s book about a ruthless, soul-less future, A Clockwork Orange. Here is a tiny sampling of the non-words that are commonplace in our new non-language: go to the mat, input, surf—which is both a computer and sports cliche, risktaker—who is always rewarded, cyber-anything, paradigm, sidemantle, interactive, stake­ holder—who was someone in the Boy Scouts who helped put up your pup tent, outsource, and the feared outplace, ecosystem, access, gatekeeper—who is good at getting money in but never letting it out, enable, empower, supercomputer, virtual reality, cheese food— whatever that is, learning curve— which I always seem to be behind, parameters, interface, share, enriching, network, downsize—the dreaded catch-word of the 90’s, advocacy, quality time, information superhighway which we all surf. Oh, these words and the sentences they bloat—they’re just so, so meaningful. I use what I call the Kentucky Colonel test when I read jargon and drivel--if I can insert the phrase Ken­ tucky Colonel in place of the catch phrase and the sentence still makes sense, you’re in trouble. What I hear and see falls into about four general categories: the increasing use of non-words, the horrible mispro­ nunciation you hear on television, the overuse of cliches, and finally—maybe the worst—the worthless habit of turning nouns into verbs.Throw in the computerisms and sports terms that have crept into daily usage and you find a language that is losing the power of expression. What is it we want from language? First and foremost the language must be of specificity to avoid ambiguity (yet not mimic German). But we crave and demand more; there must be beauty— even grandeur from our language The English language has always been renowned for its power, beauty, and expressiveness—it has the potential to stir our souls—the most lyrical and descriptive language on earth. We have always welcomed words from other languages, because they often express an emotion or feeling better than old stale words. Terms like bungalow and badminton from India have become staples of the English language. I would suggest that up to now our language has followed a natural transformation to make words more effective or expressive.

Accessible language panders to the lowest instincts, not the most noble, to produce a meaningless choreography of banal words. Maybe the use of non­ language is directly proportional to our efforts when we try to simplify an increasingly complex world, or when we just shirk our duty to think. Language is probably the most perfect barometer we have for a society; it reflects exactly and totally who we are and what we think. Our language has begun to emulate our domestic architecture—no front porch, but elaborately enclosed backyards. Maybe our language is a perfect metaphor for today; it reveals all that we are willing or able to reveal about ourselves. I would like to think otherwise; but words speak louder than hopes and words are definitely losing as we surf our way out into the mainstream of the information superhighway. What will the permanent barometer of our language record about us?

This shift was necessary as the collection has grown so much. Without enlarging the building, the lower level Fiction Room had been constructed and left available space for collection growth. The 800 s and the 900’s are now in the east room next to biographies. The videos are permanently on the north wall. Books on cassette tape are housed in temporary shelving in this room. In the west room, all Reference materials and the 000 s through 700 s were shifted forward on the shelves. Circulating business books are now merged into the circulating nonfic­ tion collection (in numbered se­ quence). A reference librarian can assist you in finding materials. In fall you will see more “sprucing up” of public space. Architect R. Scott Javore and Associates' plans have been approved and renovation begins!

Res­ ervations are required. We will call to remind you of your class as we expect to have waiting lists. Those lines from Allen Ginsberg’s epic poem, Howl, summed up and energized a whole generation in the 1950’s. I remember the first time I heard Ginsberg read live from his work; it was like being hit by lightning. Ginsberg's rhythms, wild phrasing, and meaningless imagery overturned everything I had been taught, ev­ and then they said that fl could renew my books over the phone. \ WOW! ^ erything that gave order and discipline to writing, espe­ cially poetry. I followed Ginsberg's career, work and ^M life, over the years and always felt that he was the moral ethical spokesman for my generation. I did not always agree with either his life or his work, but his insight and w artistry plumbed the central issues of our age. Yes, he occasionally verged on the bizarre in his appearance y and his poetry, but there always remained the vital, moral ethical voice that never failed to ring out defining free­ dom, individuality, and resistance to life lived as a cli­ che.

While that thought was still roll­ ing around in the back of my mind, Carl Sagan and Jacques Cousteau also died and then that idea began to really bother me. Who will speak for us? Certainly, I did not always agree with what Sagan wrote or said, but behind the man was that same moral ethical voice that had made Allen Ginsberg part of my life. Sagan spoke and wrote for years, but it took television to make him a household word. His concern for the fu­ ture, the environment and the whole world’s quality of life is unparalleled today. Ultimately Sagan became somewhat of a parody of him­ self, lending his thought and delivery to comics to mimic, but his moral ethical concerns remain clear and direct. I only wish the current movie, Contact, on which Sagan collaborated, was a more fitting tribute to the man. Sagan's books and thoughts will be with us for a long time. I first learned the name Cousteau when in 19541 bought a two-hose scuba regulator used for skin diving that was made in France and marked Cousteau-Gagnan. I used that regu­ lator to dive all over the state of Minnesota to discover the unimpeded joys of scuba diving. Later in the 1950’s Cousteau made his fame with his books and the obscure French naval officer, who in partnership with Emil Gagnon developed the first practical underwater breath­ ing device. Cousteau went far in his life, from inventor and itinerant diver to probably the most recognized and respected spokesman for our natural environment. He spoke, wrote and made films that delivered that same message over and over: our world is precious and man is working overtime to destroy it; save it now or it will be lost forever. Who will speak for us? The passing of these three diverse men is an incalculable loss to us as a society, made more important because there is no one on the horizon who can take their place. I see our generation as more inter­ ested in entertainment and glamour than in serious thought. The idea of the serious writer as a major force in our lives is a concept that is no longer important in our society. The ques­ tion now is who will be the next celebrity telling us they are going to Disneyworld. Since we get all our ideas and heroes from films, entertain­ ment and the media, it is an easy guess to pre­ dict an increasing trivialization and commercial­ ization of our lives. For now we are stuck with witless news anchors, talk show hosts, and sound bites. History proves everything in the world—economics, social thought, politics, world view—goes in cycles eventually we will return to a point where the genius, wisdom and humanity of Ginsberg, Sagan and Cousteau will be appreciated. Who will speak for us? In the meantime, I recommend this sam­ pling of their writing.

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

Board presi­ dent Sue Benn said, “She has been a loyal and active member for many years and will be sorely missed” Mrs. Sharpe chaired the library’s building committee for all the years of library renova­ tion. She came on the board to fill the unexpired term of Wilbur Page and thereafter was elected and re-elected. Sharpe’s unex­ pired term can be filled by board appointment until the 2001 vil­ lage election. Anyone interested in this temporary vacancy may contact the library business office. 1 To provide faster, better and more contemporary computer services, the library will be leaving the computer consortium of Morton Grove, Skokie and Waukegan. This change presents new challenges but more importantly will free Deerfield of the restrictions and impediments of the consortium. This will allow us to present more up-to-date computer services and access at higher speeds. It should permit wider access to books and materi­ als. Specifically, the library will offer more web-based products, easier home and remote access, better catalog access and faster and cleaner telecommunications. There will be more service outlets and more terminals offering modem services at high speed. We are in the process of signing a contract with epixtech, a Provo, Utah based firm, for the next computer system which should be operational before May, 2001. This system will supply all the familiar, easy-to-use services such as catalog searching, telephone renewal, check out and circulation functions well known to our clients, and supply a home page with links to appropriate library sites, full text magazine indexes and remote access to library resources. This system will be funded through the use of Tax Increment Financing and will not require a tax increase or bond issue. Administrative Librarian Jack Hicks said, “We have listened to our residents’ sugges­ tions and feel sure the new system will meet their needs and expectations whether they are in the library or gaining access from home.” Library board president Sue Benn feels “The public will be pleased with the high speed computers and new services; this is a real step forward in providing information and web access for the community.” □ “The Rat Pack” was among hundreds of photos taken by Deerfield’s Art Shay.

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

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!

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.
