Deerfield, IL 60015 the, dli&KViitiM '<$, "Dedh Anyone who has ever been in my office knows 1 am a Civil War buff; the walls are covered with prints of battles, significant events and personalities of that war. I come by my hobby by inheritance: two of my great-grandfathers served with the Union—one in the Ohio 2d Heavy Artil­ lery7, the other with the 9th Illinois. My in­ terest has been rekindled lately because of the excellent exhibit, “A House Divided," currently on display at the Chicago Historical Society, and the release of the film "Glory" about the 54th Massachusetts Infantry. The latter has all been made more appropriate because February was Black History Month. We have many book titles dealing with the Civil War, fiction and non-fiction. The classic combat novel of the Civil War The Red Badge of Courage, sums up the pro­ blem with most of the historical fiction of that period. It was written by a non­ participant after the fact. I am a firm believer in historical fiction. Dicken's por­ trait of 19th century London will always be the authoritative one no matter how many revisionist history books are written today. From Here to Eternity by James Jones and Norman Mailer’s Naked and the Dead define World War II for us. It is different with our Civil War; the best materials that we have are the diaries, letters, battlefield art, Mathew Brady photographs, the museums and their memorabilia. Gone for a Soldier, Echo of a Distant Drum, and Battles and Leaders ofthe Civil War are all good examples of first person narratives. The Women and the Crisis, Lee’s Lieutenants, and The Twentieth Maine are typical of the fine post-war non­ fiction that we have. As for historical fiction, I would recommend Jubilee, Killer Angels, Across Five Aprils, Unto this Hour, and Gone With the Wind. I still enjoy Carl Sandburg’s biographies of Lincoln and Mary Chesnut’s diaries. The Civil War has often been called a fire bell in the night—an exciting time in American history. What could be more ex­ citing than the events in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union for the past six months? The momentous changes we have seen hap­ pen are incredible. I am sure people will read about this thrilling era in history books a hundred years from now. But until then I’ll stick with my two-volume edition of The Gettysburg Papers. Jack Alan Hicks Administrative Librarian * ik The Deerfield Library joins the nation in celebrating National Library Week, April 22-28.

Deerfield. IL 60015 Summer 1990 Vol. 5, No. 3 /lcn,<x44 t&e What is going to happen to fiction in the next few years? A real genre staple has been the anti-Russian-Berlin Wall-British-spyas-savior book. Deighton, Clancy, LeCarre, Follett, Ludlum, Higgins—the list goes on forever—have made a cottage industry and sizeable fortunes bashing the USSR and the Berlin Wall. What are they going to do without those all-powerful com­ rades to knock flat? The thread of so many books has been villain-as-non-person; hurt, violently punished, crushed and shot to pieces because he deserved it. Since fiction so often closely reflects values of the Society in which it was writ­ ten, what will the future hold and will the new array of slimy villains be from the U.S., or Asia, or the Middle-East? These books have angry themes of alienation, with convenient targets for our aggressions. Hopefully, Fiction will see a renaissance of creative ideas with a message of reconcilia­ tion, gentleness, and healing. Can the literary conventions we have all come to accept collapse of their own weight like the Berlin Wall, or will we insist on a clone-like perpetuation of the themes of hate and alienation for the next decade? I certainly hope that writers don't seek out the nearest enemy and reinvent this genre all over again. With the runaway success of *' the movie, “Hunt for Red October, maybe I'm the only one who would like to see an end to hate and fear in our everyday reading. The book we are recommending this month comes from Martha Sloan, our Readers’ Services Librarian, who thinks very highly of Floating in my Mother’s Palm, by Ursula Hegi, a novel which evokes a warm and loving childhood in postwar Germany where Hiker’s name is never mentioned. ----- Jack Alan Hicks Administrative Librarian No chance for boredom when you ‘ ‘beach it” staying tuned to Station READ for fun, reading relaxation and prizes in the Youth Services Department this summer. The Summer Reading Club begins the week of June 18 and enrollment is unlimited! Books you read will be record­ ed on a jukebox folder. Preschoolers and kindergarteners can join their own Read To Me Club, and fill their beach bucket folder with their favorite titles. The last day to report on books will be Friday, July 27.

Alaska Thursday, June 28, 7:30p.m. Keep cool with Anne and Charles Vesely, world travelers, who present the beauty of McKinley National Park. Eskimo lore, glaciers, the pipeline and many wonders of our 49th state. Their slide presentation uses two projectors, a dissolve unit, narration and music. Coffee/Conversation/Book Discussion Join New Reader Services Librarian Martha Sloan two Thursday mornings for informal discussion of “good reads”. This will also be an opportunity for you to share with others books you have enjoyed on a special theme. Thursday, July 12, 10:30 a.m.: Memoirs of Childhood, books you’ve liked, ones you’ve missed. Thursday, August 2, 10:30 a.m.: On-theRoad Books of the 80’s: young and old have now joined in the Huck Finn tradition; let’s talk about it! And The Winners Are As a National Library Week celebration, the library sponsored a Reach for a Star Contest, asking patrons to tell which books made an impact on their lives. The votes are in, as Deerfield Friends of the Library members Cathy Chay, Lois Stransky, and Jean Lucas judged the entries: First prize: Children and Their Parents: Toward Maturity, by Suzanne Fremon, 1968, submitted by Joan Freedman. This book changed the kind of parent I was and had lasting effects not only on me but on my children. It helped me focus on our main goal of fostering their positive growth and development and our relation­ ship with them.... 99 Second prize: Remembrance of Things Past, by Marcel Proust, submitted by June Hamer. “My favorite books are the seven volumes of Remembrance...From this work I have learned to love everyone and see beauty everywhere. The writing is so brilliant, exquisite, and refined that I am not willing for a day to pass without dipping in­ to one of these volumes. In time of crisis, remembering the priorities...helped me respond and brought us together in work­ ing to solve each problem. 99 “I Can’t Find That Book” TRAVEL TOUR: Historic Homes in Chicago Saturday, July 28, 9:00 a.m. An air conditioned deluxe motorcoach will meet us at the door of the Deerfield Library at 9:00 a.m. to explore early residential areas and homes in the City of Chicago. Included in the tour will be a visit to the Henry B. Clarke House built in 1836; it is restored to its original state and filled with authentic objects from this time period. In addition to a complete luncheon at Le Loup, we will be touring landmark neighborhoods with a number of architec­ tural styles, and visit a charming liv­ ing/studio/gallery space of one of the city’s creative artists in Bucktown. We shall return to the library at 2:45 p.m. Cost of the tour is $39.50 per person, and this nonreftindable payment (to Deerfield Library) is required before June 27. Come along! (What happens when you lose your library book, cassette, etc.) If you lose an item, our goal is to recover the original copy whenever possible, because replacing materials can easily cost the library almost twice the purchase price. Why? Because replacement involves up­ dating computer files, reordering and recataloging the book, re-labeling it with new pocket and cover, and preparing it for circulation. To cover these costs, many libraries charge patrons large fines or a processing fee in addition to the price of the book. Here at Deerfield, we only charge the purchase price, but we do wait two months for the book to be found before billing you. Dur­ ing this waiting period, circulation staff will remind you about the missing book each lime you use your library card—unless you beat them to it by saying you found it! Moral of this story—the book may be in your car, or hidden behind the VCR—keep searching! Third prize: Profiles in Courage, by John F. Kennedy, submitted by Howard Richter. “A single line, ‘of course everyone is familiar with the courage shown by John Adams in his defense of the British soldic in the Boston Massacre’ stumped m history teacher, 2 librarians and a U. of Penn, professor. It became the term paper of this previously non motivated high school student leading to my original research in Boston and the National Ar­ chives before I was 17, and later an M.A. in history. 9i Other books that stretched our Deerfield residents to reach for a star included: Such a Vision of the Street Remnants: the Last Jews of Poland Return of the Twelves An Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin Rocket Ship Galileo The Double Helix At Risk The Giving Tree A Summer to Die God’s Little Acre A Tree Grows in Brooklyn Crime and Punishment 30 Days to a More Powerful Vocabulary Eleni The Fountainhead The Bible Atlas Shrugged Little Women The Chronicles of Narnia Madeline The Road Less Traveled The Memoirs of George Sherston The Eyes of the Dragon Charlotte’s Web In Search of Excellence Laura Ingalls Wilder Bound for Glory Winner’s Edge Commanded to Live When Children Ask About God Keep the Lights Burning, Abbie The Autobiography of Bill Peet No Smoking! It is the intent of the Library Board of Directors that the Deerfield Library become a nonsmoking facility in confor-^^ mance with the Illinois State Law that goes^H into effect July 1, 1990. Smoking is not per­ mitted by the public in any meeting room, lobby, rest-room, office, staff room, or work area of the library. �Youth Services ^Summer Workshops SUMMER STORYHOUR: Ages 3-4 June 25, July 2, 9, 16 10:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. VISOR DESIGN: Grades 3-5 June 25, July 2, 3:30 p.m. DINOSAUR BEACH: Grades 1-3 July 16, 3:30 p.m. July 17, 10:30 a.m. SHELL ART: Grades 2-4 July 10, 3:30 p.m. July 13, 3:00 p.m. BEACH BANGLES: Grades 3-5 July 12, 2:00 p.m. July 17, 3:30 p.m. SAND CASTING: Grades 3-5 June 27, 10:30 p.m. June 28, 3:30 p.m. SAND PAINTING: Grades K-2 June 29, 11:00 a.m. Family Nights Summer Wednesday nights are special times for familes to enjoy entertainment together.

Deerfield, IL 60015 Fall 1990 Vol 5, No. 4 /tc/1044- tfie —The other side of Lake Wobegon— A Death in White Bear Lake is a book about an “All American City.” This^ is a hard story to discuss because it deals with a small boy savagely beaten to death by ftis mother — a child abuser. But it is an im­ portant book on several levels and for ver^ serious reasons. The homicide took place in 1965 but because people closed their hearts and minds to the evil around them, the legal system sputtered and faltered and the case was filed away for twenty-two years. In 1987, through an unlikely series of events, a group of everyday people did some very extraordinary things to see that this murder would not go unpunished. A courageous medical examiner re­ opened the files, a determined police force ^J3uilt a strong charge, and a dedicated legal ^A'stem pressed the trial to a just conclu^^ion. These brave and outraged people remembered an innocent little boy and demanded justice, unlike so many who did not speak in 1965, or denied, or lied, or intimated, or covered up. The real question raised by this book is: what would you or I have done? Would we look away, harden our hearts, refuse to get involved to protect ourselves? After twentytwo years would we still turn away? Would we remember? Would we have the courage to stand against evil? If not, how would we choose to be remembered? The message is clear — if this could happen to an “All American City” it can happen anywhere. If they could do it, we could do it. Inertia and failure to act are the real unknowns; how easy it is to be brave if you are never put to the test. The author, Barry Siegel, merits great praise for outstanding reporting. This haunting book has an amazing texture, depth, and feel for time and place. John Donne wrote that... “no man is an island,” a phrase that has a special meaning to me because the crib side doctor who saw a ^Meath by child abuse and turned aside was community stalwart in White Bear Lake — my home town — and the attending physician at my father’s death. Jack Alan Hicks Administrative Librarian Changes to Serve You Better, Faster • • • The popular new books are wanted by so many; this often means long waits for the best sellers. We are trying to deal with this problem by shortening loan periods for new fiction books and by ordering more copies faster. Beginning Sept. 4, all new fiction books will have one week loan periods until they are six months old. This should provide a faster turnaround time for the next person. Books can be renewed by phone or in person if they are not overdue and there is no waiting list. While we cannot quickly satisfy 60 re­ quests for Scott Turow’s “Burden of Proof,” we are anticipating demand for popular authors by using a new Fast Track ordering system. It promises speedy delivery of multiple copies of projected best sellers. Some of these are Belva Plain’s “Harvest”, Dick Francis’s “Long Shot” and Sidney Sheldon’s “Memories of Midnight”. All new books will stay on the NEW BOOK SHELVES for one year — nonfic- tion by the fireplace, fiction on the new stacks in the Fiction/Quiet Room. To keep the collection current, librarians are busy with a major weeding (housecleaning) project. Outdated and damaged books are removed from the col­ lection, and some are placed on the ongoing “for sale” carts. Large Print Books, Adult Basic Readers, Short Story Collections, and Circulating Paperbacks are now next to the new fiction. For reading suggestions, check our new guides to good reading. These include lists of new Deerfield books; “Bestsellers” which include author close ups, plot sum­ maries, what the critics say, and related must reads; Best books of ’88 & ’89, and lists of Techno Thrillers, Traditional Romances, Faraway Places, Pigskin Peo­ ple, Spies, etc. On display are also “Modern Fantasy: 100 Best Novels,” a book listing the best crime and mystery books, “Sequels: A Guide to Reading in Series”, American Best Sellers, and other books offering reading suggestions. The five story Illinois State Library building was dedicated on June 20. It faces and is designed to be compatible with the architecture of the 102 year old State Capitol building. The library houses the state’s 4.7 million volumes, and state and federal documents. In the planning stages for 20 years, the project became a reality when it received $36 million as part of the “Building Illinois” program. The library’s resources may be borrowed by using a library card issued by any Illinois public library. At the dedication of the State Library building in Springfield, Deerfield Librarians Baiba Rosenkranz, far left, and Sally Brickman, flank Secretary of State/State Librarian/Gubernatorial candidate, Jim Edgar, with Elliott Kanner, far right (Deerfield resident & North Suburban Library System administrator). Please let us know • • • We are trying to determine the need for library outreach service in Deerfield. If there are people who would like to have library service but are unable or have dif­ ficulty getting to the library we would like to know. Difficulty reading?

Deerfiled. IL 60015 the '& 72eA& Two things happened recently that have made me unusually sensitive to people’s reading levels and skills-and their ge neral lack of knowledge about our society. The first was the PBS Civil War television series-which was engrossing and disappointing to me. As a lifelong Civil'War junkie I was overjoyed by a vastly entertain­ ing program. But it did not clarify, give sequence or add coherence to the Civil War. Events that happened simultaneous­ ly were treated as if they happened two years apart. Many viewers do not know which side William T. Sherman was on, or that Grant captured Vicksburg the same day as Gettysburg-yet paroled his 10,000 prisoners back into the Confederacy. What we need in this electronic age is in­ formation clarification-not mystification. The other eye opener was one of the most effective and intelligent people I have ever known-a naturalized U.S. citizen^feisked me to compile a list of books that ^^vould fill in what he perceives as gaps in his overall knowledge of our country, and raise his consciousness about items of cultural literacy. The idea of a general paucity of cultural knowledge has been a hotly debated topic among social scientists for several years. I understand that a specialized, techni­ cal education can definitely lead to deficiencies in general knowledge, and that being raised in a very different culture may skew your interpretations of American traditions. As a Librarian, I see technical education and cultural diversity as two of the key elements that have made America a great society. A lack of reading is a major problem that confronts us today. Television, videos, ten second sound bites and fifteen minutes of celebrity, do not impart the same cul­ tural identity and awareness-of who we are and how we got that way-as effectively as reading. Television is the primary way most people get the news and their other information. The book I am recommending this month is Who Reads Literature? by Nicholas Zill and Marianne Winglee. This provoking analysis makes it clear that there ^^are very large numbers of citizens who canMkot read, and even larger numbers of those who can but will not read. This malaise is serious and will negatively affect our fu­ ture. Jack Alan Hicks Administrative Librarian Shelby Yastrow - Deerfield’s Own Author Start the new year right by welcoming Deerfield's own-corporate lawyer Shelby Yastrow and best selling author of Undue Influence on Tuesday evening, January 8 at 7:30 p.m. Yastrow, whose new "Lite Lawyer novel is one of the snappiest courtroom capers yet" (Kirkus Reviews), was the sub­ ject of a front page/fealure story in North Shore magazine. His novel has hit the Chicago best seller list and is being considered for a movie. A gifted storyteller, he will share with us why he wrote this "yarn spinning" novel, how he got it published and what he tried to ac­ complish. Our witty and personable neighbor will be feted at an autograph reception following his talk. Make reserva­ tions now! Of Importance to You Deerfield Library has received a per capita grant of $17,432.00 from the Il­ linois State Library. Slate regulations require that this money be dedicated to projects that expand or enhance our services. The money will be used to sponsor adult programs, fund the newsletter and purchase foreign lan­ guage books. If you do not have your library card with you to check out library materials, you must have some form of identification. All new adult fiction of less than 400 pages now circulates for one week. A faster turnaround time should satisfy patrons’ desire to obtain new books. If there is no one waiting to read the book and the book is not overdue, it may be renewed for seven days. Renewals may be in person or by telephone. After six months, new adult fiction is loaned for three weeks. Just like the video store: please remember to rewind your library videotapes before returning them. Do not place videos in the book drop; bring them in. Deerfield cardholders, over 18 years of age, may borrow up to 4 videos for three days, at a cost of $1 per video; overdue videos are $2 a day. Deerfield Author Shelby Yastrow DEERFIELD LIBRARY SALUTES THE PAST A series of exhibits saluting the history of Deerfield and the State of Illinois are featured at the library during the winter months. The Deerfield Historical Society has donated two exhibits: 1) a focus on the history of our town (Nov.-Dee.) and 2) Deerfield area architecture (Jan.). "Documenting 250 Years of Illinois His­ tory", an Illinois State Archives exhibit of documents, letters, maps, broadsides and photographs will grace the library in early January.

A FEW HINTS ON USE OF THE LIBRARY’S ONLINE CATALOG The library’s or.iine public catalog, rep­ resents holdings of books, sound recordings, and videos, not magazines or newspapers. The online catalog contains the collections of Skokie, Morton Grove, and Waukegan Libraries as well as Deer­ field. You can limit your search to Deerfield by typing in LIB either as a separate com­ mand or as part of another command: for example, LIB/SUB/COOKERY. The command ALL will resume the search of all four libraries’ collections. Consult the red "quick subject guide to shelf location" at each terminal. This book helps you to find the right words to type into the computer for a subject search. Example: You won’t find a list of books on GREEK MYTHOLOGY by searching under that heading in the subject files of the computer. But, if you look under "GREEK MYTHOLOGY" in the red subject book near the terminal, the book will tell you to type in "MYTHOLOGY, GREEK" in­ stead. If you just want to browse the library in a certain nonfiction area, the red book also leads you to call numbers associated with specific subject headings. If you have trouble searching the com­ puter, ask the Reference Librarian for help! Income Tax Assistance At Library Beginning February 5, free income tax advice will be offered in the library’s upstairs meeting room. The service will be available every Tuesday and Friday from 1 to 4 p.m. through April 12. This program is co-sponsored by the American Association of Retired Persons and the IRS. No ap­ pointment is necessary, but please brmg last year’s return. Income tax forms will again be available at the Reference Desk but librarians are not qualified to offer tax assistance. �Winter 1990-91 Calendar DECEMBER 8 Saturday Films for young children, 10 a.m. 13 International Folk Festivals in Chicago, 7:30 p.m. 15 Cookie Craft Workshop, 10 a.m. 22 Saturday Films for young children, 10 a.m. 27 Fairy Tale Film Fest, 10:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. A MILLION BOOKS TEN MINUTES FROM THIS LIBRARY available to you by using your Deerfield Library card.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Two local authors, Imy Wax and Mary Beth Kravets have written a reference book — The K & W Guide: Colleges and the Learning Disabled Student that represents (Continued on p. 3) Tom Parfitt has stepped down as President of the Library's Board of Trustees after serving in this capaci­ ty for 20 years.

THE LIBRARV W/SHES YOU A HE HAP»yH NlVnM! �FRIENDS UPDATE Mission The mission of the Friends of the Deerfield Public Library is to provide support to the Library through funds, human resources and the sponsoring of community programs. Two Years Young In late 1989 a handful of community members organized Deerfield’s Friends of the Library. Over the past 24 months supportive, civic-minded village residents have swelled the Friends’ membership to over 40. With everyone’s contributions of time and energy, the Friends have been successful in carrying out its mission through fundraising events, volunteer support and education programs. May 1990 — Art Auction To make room for book shelves, the Library had to remove its display of art prints and end the service of loaning them. The Friends held an auction of the 175 prints as its first official fundraising event. October 1990 — Agatha Christie Centennial Friends sponsored a community program to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Agatha Christie. Preceding the lecture, the Friends hosted an authentic English tea. January 1991 — Library support Friends members volunteered to help at the Library-sponsored lecture and book sign­ ing for Shelby Yastrow, author of Undue Influence. April 1991 — Children’s Program Friends sponsored a children’s folk song fest and lively hoe down featuring Jenny Armstrong. July 1991 — Family Days Friends provided volunteers to help Library staff distribute lemonade during the 4th of July activities. August 1991 — Trunk Sale Community members are invited to fill their cars with all their “treasures” and sell them in the Library parking lot. The trunk sale is an annual fundraiser for the Friends who rent the Library’s parking spaces to sellers. Into the Future January 1992 — Children’s Program Punch and Judy come to Deerfield. (See this issue’s calendar.) June 1992 — Trunk Sale TBA — Fundraising event July 1992 — Friends of the Deerfield Library 4th of July Parade Float TBA 1993 — Book Sale This event requires many manhours to accomplish and will be held only if there is a commitment of time and interest among membership. �Back to the Community Monies generated through fundraising events and membership dues are returned to the community through the sponsorship and hosting of community education/entertainment programs.

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

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

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

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

Summer Reading Club begins June 13. There will be three groups this summer — (all grade levels indicate the grade the child will enter in the fall): READ-TO-ME: Pre-school through 1st grade.

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

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

A statistic that sur­ faced as we pre­ pared our "Brief History of the Deerfield Library" — In 1930 we cir­ culated 1000 books per month; in 1991’92, we circulated 1000 per day! Yet Deerfield Library takes the smallest bite (2.5%) of the Village property tax payment and serves all ages. *** William Cormier reports a record 250 people came to the library for free tax assistance offered by the AARP and the IRS this year.
