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

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.

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

I would never have expected that our school age population would rise again, but it is surely doing so, nor would I have predicted all the traffic, yet Lake Cook and Waukegan Roads seem to be the axle of the universe on any given rush hour. Computers have entered our lives and the library too— never to go away, I assume. My old departed friend Sam Fosdick used to say that Deerfield would become merely a collection of "real estate offices, hair parlors, and grocery stores" as suburbia moved beyond us to the western suburbs and our real shopping was done elsewhere.

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

We lived at the end of an 18 mile dirt road and you could see those lights in our window for miles across the snow as we came home at night. We all wanted our favorite brother home safe, away from deadly harm and death he faced every day. He saw the Pusan Perimeter, Yalu River and the frozen Chosin, and we knew exactly what that meant. Seeing "his" tree every day gave us great comfort. I remember that winter of hopefulness very clearly—and how our optimism never faded, even as the tree shriveled. That tree became an unsspoken magic in our house— we wouldn't take it down because it was somehow protecting my brother. So many neighbors and friends had sons, who were wounded or killed, we worried eve We were pulling for Ike and a peace future—tne dawn of a new day. Our friends and neighbors, even the rural delivery mailman, asked about my brother (Continued on p. 2) r You may use this form: Name I Telephone_______________ Drop off at the Circulation Desk beyond our ability to handle....We are not funded by the federal government.

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

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

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

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. Jo Gourley says it best, "Thousands of hours of dedication, devo­ tion, and hard work later we have a whole Historic Village." 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.

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

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

Were any presidents good writers? Read Lincoln's speeches if you doubt his greatness. If you think Roosevelt's writings were ghost written, look at the handwritten corrections on his "Day of Infamy" speech and you see great writing. But if you want to read fantastic mem­ oirs, read Ulysses Grant. He speaks from the page like a hybrid of Lyndon Johnson and James Herriot. Illinois' Grant is a wonderful writer with charm, grace, wit, toughness and a ___________________ ____ ____ __] grasp of everything that was going on around him. However, criticisms of his Presidency say the same things about him—in reverse. His book was a best seller. Will Bill Clinton write the definitve account of what happened in Washington when Israel and the PLO made peace? Probably not, but that doesn't diminish the moment. That account will be written sometime soon, and you will find it here in your library.

I remember that event so clearly—not like it was yesterday but pretty close. When we were kids dur­ ing WWII, everything we did related to the war and the war effort. My Dad ran a slide rule in the engineering department at Mar­ tin Aircraft in Omaha, Nebraska so D-Day had a special significance; Omaha Beach was the focus of so much concern during the first days of invasion that we thought Omaha Beach was our own personal cru­ sade. We got the news from our Philco radio, raced to see the invasion 44 Everything we did related newsreels at the movie matinees, to the war?? and practiced blackouts every month. There have been so many changes in Amer­ ican life since those days fifty years ago, it is hard to believe it all. So much of our lives centered on the military; all my uncles and a cousin served in WWII, my brother and many friends served in Korea, and my gen­ eration soldiered through the Cold War and Viet Nam. During WWII we watched the railroad trains as often as we could; tanks and landing craft going west, P-51's and other California produce going east and grinning boys in khaki going everywhere. War, military service and separation from family and friends almost define the last three generations of Americans. But so do the ideals we learned: honor, duty, country. The war really stole our childhood; I remember patriotic rallies that exhorted lit­ tle kids to collect tin cans and rubber scraps to save America; anyone who ever did it (Continued on p. 2) Q/ou Q/fw Goidial/g tfrwUed to an Elegant Literary Soiree Sunday • April 17 • 5 - 7 pm Deerfield Public Library Deerfield's Joel Weisman, Emmy Award Winning Commentator, Host & Sr. Editor, TV ll's Chicago Week in Review, will host In celebration of National Library Week We'll honor Deerfield published authors in a splendid atmosphere* • Deerfield High's String Quartet entertains • Join our "literary lions" for tempting hors d'oeuvres & stimulating conversation • Illustrated book marks by our Deerfield children RSVP to the library Raise A Reader From Day One New Computer System Babies are potential readers! Thanks to the efforts of the Deerfield Women of Today, funds have been raised to initiate a program to welcome Deerfield babies and introduce them to a lifetime of reading. At the request of parents, grandparents or friends, a library packet especially for infants will be sent to the home of any child six months or younger. If the family lives within incorporated Deerfield, a gift coupon redeemable in the Youth Services Depart­ ment will be included. Let us know about new babies in town! Walgreens, Firstar Bank and Borders Books & Music have graciously contributed to the first year of this program. Deerfield is proceeding with selection of a new computer catalog and circulation sys­ tem in partnership with Morton Grove, Skokie and Waukegan Libraries. The new computers will offer access to our four col­ lections, at least three magazine indexes, and a survey of holdings of the 44 North Suburban Library System public libraries and will act as an access point for the Inter­ net. The new system should be installed by July and fully operational before September. * Published Deerfield authors: we don't want to leave you out. Please contact Sally Seifert or Martha Sloan at 945-3311. Thom Morris has joined the staff part time in Reference. For 20 years he was Director of the Trinity College Library. A Deerfield resident, Morris also works as a Local Area Network System Administrator and Librarian at Northbrook Library. He holds 3 masters degrees: Math from University of Illinois, Theology from Trinity and Library Science from Rosary. With this range of interests Morris has selected librarianship because "I like libraries and the people I work with; When I go home I feel I've helped people and this is a good feeling." �Adult Programs Library programs are free, but reservations are requested. mm A Time Management New Solutions Tuesday, April 5,7:30 p.m. Hints and how-to's for making most efficent and effective use of your 24 hour day.

Jack Hicks leads a discussion of this journey to one of the most remote places on earth, a decade long quest by fellow drummer Leighton and Nobel prize winning physicist Feynman. May 12 Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton An American classic, Wharton's story centers on a love triangle entangled by 19th century con­ straints and eternal emotions. Martha Sloan, Head of Reader Services and Book Discussion leader, has authored a chapter in The Book Group, a Thoughtful Guide to Forming and Enjoying a Stimulating Book Discussion Group. She said, "In a strange way books provide the safety of distance but also are an avenue to our more real selves." (Continued from p.I) remembers cutting the tops and bottoms from tin cans and squashing them flat. I remember savings bonds and stamps being sold in the movie theaters, my Mom dealing with the reality of rationed food, clothing and shoes, and my Dad's despair at getting gas and tires. My grandfather and my brothers and I went to one rally to donate aluminum pans that was like a scene from a Wagner opera—bonfires, martial music, and a pile of aluminum stacked up to the sky. Boy Scouts was like army camp, leisure travel was restricted, and fear of Zeros, Stukas, and Messerschmitts was something we talked about every day. I don't have the same childhood memories my daughters do and they can't point out Tarawa, Anzio or Bataan. So when they say times have changed, I know they are for the better. The troops that stormed ashore on D-Day are now our senior citizens and their grandchildren will not have their child­ hoods stolen by war. The resolve and singleness of purpose that guided our country in those days will probably never be experienced by any of us again. The dedication and inventiveness the country exhibited in the 1940's now must be rechanneled into making the USA the world leader in all areas of life, not just the military/sci­ entific arena where we excelled like no other. , , T „ ^ book 1 am recommending this month is Technology by Neil Postman, subtitled The Surren- der of Culture to Technology. The author asserts the country is grappling for human values and answers in a social system where technology has been granted sovereignty over our institutions—science as salvation, scientist as shaman. Postman, who has become one of our most interesting social analysts, has an earlier essay, Amusing Our­ selves to Death, dealing with a society intent on recreation and amusement, with disre­ gard for values, productivity, or self-worth. The boys of Omaha Beach knew a thing or two about values, productivity, and selfworth and we should never forget it. Jack Alan Hidks, Administrative Librarian �Long Playing Records to Go Time marches on and new technologies move in. The library's long playing records are deteriorating physically and are no longer receiving enough usage to warrant shelf space. We are withdrawing the collec­ tion. If you wish to purchase any, we'll have a sale the first weekend in June. Building Renovation Thanks for your patience....Building reno­ vation has been protracted but is ending. This includes an ADA compliant elevator, accessible restrooms, etc. A new electric door will be installed at the entrance this summer. The Library Board is currently studying a renovation plan that will move the fiction collection downstairs and increase our public space by almost 20%. News to Note The Board approved a new meeting room policy since the library now has only one meeting room. The policy limits public use to duly constituted Deerfield sponsored, non profit organizations. Space can be reserved only 2 months in advance. See Gail Kroll for details. Please bring your Deerfield library card to check out materials. Without it, you will need i.d. and it will cost 25<t. Also, employer/host must take full responsibility for acquiring and main­ taining a library card for a nanny, au pair or foreign exchange student. Reminder: The State Legislature has passed a bill that restricts use of a non­ resident fee card to the library where it is purchased.

In fact we use them every day even though we may not know it. As I approach old age I have come to real­ ize that roadmaps are as inexorable as the DNA genetic code. They tell us where we came from, and who we are. What we respect, value, and how we interact. What we like to eat. This accidental geography of birth becomes as important as our parents. The value schemes, the ethnocentricisms. the lattice and matrix of our thinking process is regional; who we are is where we are from. Librarian in the Lobbq Monday, June 6 from 7-9 p.m. Jack Hicks and a member of the Library Board will meet the public in the front lobby to talk informally of library con­ cerns.

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

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.

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.

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.

To use the catalog to best advan­ tage we encourage you to attend an introductory class with Judith Hortin, Head of Reference at any of the following times: Thursday, December I, 7 p.m. Saturday, December 10,11 a.m. Wednesday, December 14,10 a.m. My first Boy Scout Handbook had a pic­ ture of Ted Williams in it, kissing his bat. Dynix At Your Service! Our “mascot” butler welcomes you to the new Dynix computer sys­ tem. We officially went online with our new system on November 1 and patron reactions are positive! The colorful new screens replace our “old” GEAC computer catalog and circulation system which served us well for almost 10 years. (We eliminated our card catalog 6 years ago.) The faster, more powerful sys­ tem continues to be in a consor­ tium with Skokie, Morton Grove and Waukegan Libraries. The Dynix system is very “user friendly” and flexible, with - wider access promised in the future. This should include access to numer­ ous periodical indexes, community resource File, gateways to remote databases and access to Internet. We anticipate a smooth adjust­ ment and appreciate your patience in accepting and becoming com­ fortable with the new system. What a man Teddy Ballgame was—a real hero to all of us kids. The last .400 hitter. In modern life, all of our shared experiences come from the media. I didn't know Ted Williams, I just thought I did.

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

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

A group of anti-intellecutal, small-mind­ ed nobodies with a lot of money wrecked the season and we all yawned. It is said that humor is the only trait that separates man from the rest of the animal kingdom and that it protects us from catastrophe. Sometimes it’s hard to laugh. The book I am recommending this month is The Lawyer’s Chambers by Lowell Komie. This collection of short sto­ ries is Lowell's third book and I recom­ mend it highly. If you haven't read Lowell Komie you are missing one of the best of today's writers. Mr. Komie is not just a good writer, or a talented one, Lowell is a great writer whose stories touch at the heart of all of us. Lowell writes in a very difficult genre to master—the short story; when he succeeds, which is often, he rewards us all with his art.
