Lower level space now used for offices, meeting room and boardroom will be merged with the down­ stairs lobby to provide an additional 25% floor space, and 20% increased shelfspace. In response to patron re­ quests, the remodeling will provide a quiet, spacious, reading area to browse new books, read and consult the Reader Services Librarian, ex. ^ This project has been in the ■Slllm planning stages for \n| l I three years. The first li phase was the addition of ADA restrooms and elevator. It will be qw n W-A paid for entirely by l Yt—VV Tax Increment Fi­ nancing (TIF) pro­ vided by the Village of Deerfield and will not involve a referendum, bonds or increase in the tax rate. Library service will not be interrupted dur­ ing the construction. A summer completion date is anticipated. Lov Business forecasting has always been done in five- year increments. With the acceleration of technology that threshold is now two or three years, with many unforeseen changes skewing the balance. We are now five years from the 21 st century and the question is what the new cen­ tury will hold for all of us. The mood of society today—in spite of our economic well being— seems to be that wherever it is we are, is not where we want to be, and we are not comfort­ able about it. I see change coming in areas be­ yond our control: working women, age of the population, Russia and computers. Simple demographics tell us that the workforce will be primarily female in 2001. That clearly means no return to the 1950’s mom-athome image we hear touted as “traditional fam­ in #< Infochcannel The Village of Deerfield’s Infochannel is up and running.

It has taken over 25 years to put Mom into the workplace and it is questionable if she will ever return to apron and kitchen. Demograph­ ics also tell us that our population is aging sig­ nificantly. I read that by 2010 we will have 50,000 citizens over 100 years old when we now have less than 5,000. A majority of our citizens will be over 50 years of age in 2010. Families will change. Continued on page 2 Tuesday, April 11,7p.m. “Thousands of people are having online affairs and these sometimes spill over into their real lives. I be­ lieve this is the beginning of a cul­ ture change in our society and will alter our future attitudes!” says Chicago author Deanna Warren who has published her first book Love On Line— an informative and hu­ morous guide to online “chat”. She will present an upbeat over­ view of how to get up and run­ ning online, the language and the nuances. Deanna teaches a course “Hitching a Ride on the Information Superhighway” at the College of Lake County and has also published articles and poetry. Holiday Closings! Holiday closings at the library are limited to the major holidays. We will be closed: Easter Sunday, April 16 and Memorial Day, Monday, May 29. We will also close summer Sundays beginning May 28. �Librarian's Desh (continued from page 1) Can we project by looking back? Peering back five years we see the fall of the Berlin Wall and the disintegration of the Soviet Union—monumental changes that no one ex­ cept lunatics predicted. Certainly now the challenge is to learn to live productively with the strange, hybrid society that was spawned and nurtured in the Soviet hothouse. This is a major challenge not to be taken lightly—as elemental as water, land and air. The hatreds forged on the anvil of the Cold War must give way if both former rival superpowers are to regenerate themselves. Computers and software use have qua­ drupled in the past five years, with the hot companies and monoliths alike responding to market-driven pressures that have drastically altered the computers and the corporate cli­ mate. Correspondingly we have seen a sharp acceleration in science and medicine. Supercomputers, like the Cray, will lead to profound discovery in all fields of research. Fine. Now we have the INTERNET which has had and will continue to have a tremendous impact on society. Until now. computers have just counted, sorted and analyzed data—but with cyberspace and INTERNET we are ask­ ing computers to assume the basic human social function of communication. The great and frightening line in Kubrick's 2001 was. "Oh. this is so exciting" when in fact the lives of 2001 scientists were bland as mush and as dull as gruel. Cyberspace has the poten­ tial to be more deadening than television, more corrosive to the spirit than drugs. Most creative ideas come from the fertile minds of one person; real genius does not flow from committees and focus groups. We are now to believe that the creative process is going to be altered by networks and shared data. To visualize and conceive an idea is the hard part; a committee can talk anything to death. This is not to say I want to return to the era of Victorian engineering—elegant drawings and mathematics done in script by pen and ink—but I doubt that creative thought itself is in transition and we delude ourselves if we al­ low an electronic servant to become cultural master and destroyer. Virtual reality....what's wrong with reality? Distance is well known to lend enchant­ ment. Along those lines, we hope you will en­ joy the Will Rogers program the Library is co­ sponsoring with the Deerfield Area Historical Society on March 29 at 7;30 p.m. No com­ puters. no cyberspace.

In Septem­ ber there will be a grand opening celebration. The reading area will be named: Thomas E. Parfitt Fiction Room. Parfitt retired from the library board in 1993 after 22 years of service; he was library board president for 20 of those years. The library board Building Com­ mittee includes Sue Benn, Diane Kraus and Yvonne Sharpe. They said, “The room will be warm, inviting and class)'. . Comfortable furnishings in earthtones and wood will be featured, but the greatest element is a lot of light with a relaxing garden view.” The remodeling, in x planning stages since 1992, will provide 23% additional floor space and 20% increased shelf space. It will be paid for entirely by Tax Increment Financing from the Vil­ lage of Deerfield at no extra cost to taxpayers. Y Magazine Index Rdded lo Online Catalog You can now access a magazine in­ dex database called Infotrac 2000 from any Dynix terminal in the library. There are three databases available: Business and Company Profile ASAP, Health ASAP and Magazine Index Plus (for current affairs, consumer information, travel, arts, entertainment). Coverage is from 1992 to the present. Some articles are citation only, some have abstracts, and some are full text. Librarians will be happy to assist you in your search. Across the Librarian’s Desk Now that the Age of Espionage is ebbing and the Age of Lawyers is fully upon us, I wonder what the next great themes for fiction will be? Publishers have so confused form for content and occupation for char­ acter they no longer seem to know the difference. The trend I see in popular fiction is a continuous reduction in literate writing, the etching of character, compelling dialogue, or even plot. What has replaced these ele­ ments of literature is action, sex (and I don’t mean gender), and a downscaling of the intelligence quo­ tient to about the 6th grade level. Where is the literate adult fare that is not murder, spies, or lawyers? What’s next? I'll bet it will be software gurus. Fascinating. Wolff Elected Board On April 4 Bill Seiden and David Wolff were each elected to a six year term on the Deerfield Library Board of Trustees.Wolff, a manufacturers' representative in metal forming, said, “I wish to thank the Deerfield voters for returning me to the Library Board of Trustees for a sec­ ond term. I shall work with the board to continue the outstanding level of service to our patrons within the fiscal constraints of a limited budget.” Seiden, an Illinois C.RA., is a retired corporate executive now doing limited consulting. Seiden is also committed to serving all of Deerfield’s residents “working with other board members to arrive at meaningful decisions and to provide excellent services for the community.” As disappointing as the trend in books has been, it has been outdone by the film industry.

New residents are invited to stop in for a library card. Please bring 2 forms of i.d. showing Deerfield address.

The real question is where are the scripts that challenge and delight, where are the themes and motifs that go along Continued on page 2 �Librarian's Desk o u (continued from page 1) with good writing? When did the term “adult” come to mean skin? I remember being scared stiff by Cary Grant and a glass of milk; now it takes chain saws, body parts and gallons of blood to achieve an effect. Actually what we are seeing is the precursor of a non-literate culture. Our country is becoming visual instead of verbal with kids watching too many thousands of hours of numbing television and not reading books...and not knowing the dif­ ference. Hence we have poor scripts, and non­ literate books. Lawyers are seen as fascinating characters in far too much fiction. It appears we are abrogating our culture to publishers and me­ dia and movie moguls who say “..no one reads, only dumb kids go to the movies, trash for the masses." We know this not to be totally true. Barnes and Noble and Borders validate the fact that Deerfield has a literate and reading population. We look for books and mature films that inspire and challenge us. As an antidote, it is fortunate that we live in an area of affordable theatre, not just the Shubert and Goodman but the small ones, the Organic Theatre, Next, Steppenwolf, Northlight, The Re­ mains—the list is gratifyingly long. But even though we read, it seems that media producers are intent on reducing what is available to the low­ est common denominator. Reductio adAbsurdum. Apparently it makes money and that’s all that seems to count today. The O.J. Simpson trial cov­ erage is just a symptom of the widespread con­ sumer entertainment disease—simple, mindless, violent and visual.

It is ironic that we call for values and respon­ sibility from any individual in this age of collective irresponsibility. We ask for less violence on our streets but pay to wallow in it in books and films. We demand accountability but we don’t practice O it ourselves. Maybe that’s the real loss—our own honesty and integrity. I have always been a firm believer that today is “the good old days." But when it comes to books and films, looking back­ wards you see adult books and films that chal­ lenged, entertained, inspired and enchanted... made by people who read, wrote, and thought. The book that I am recommending this month is Rocking the Babies by Linda Raymond. This is a book that makes you believe in people, reaffirm real family values and inspires our highest in­ stincts. Set in a hospital, the book examines those who provide care and love to drug addicted newborns.

As we position the library for the 21st century, we renew our commitment to reading and to pro­ viding the best possible book col­ lection for a community of readers. We now have a newly restructured space dedicated to them....The Thomas E. Parfitt Fiction Room. Located on the lower level of the library, the room houses the fiction collection of 23,331 including large print, mysteries, and science fiction. A Reader Services Librarian will as­ sist readers in book selection. TTOtie Z&c-cE-aut/ectt's [PDcacu “Quiet, restful, dignified...informal but ordered, bright accents...modified Arts and Crafts style...with early International Style, custom designed furnishings.” TTCue Space Formerly underused space adds 37% adult public space and increases book capacity 20%. At the entrance, faux skylight and mirrors provide a setting for the Barbara Housekeeper sculpture commissioned for 1971 library opening. Gracing the free standing wall, is the still life by Vilato (a cousin of Picasso) donated to the library in 1971 by Sara Lee. Ceiling, with modified crown moul­ ding, was raised to bring space in char­ acter with the rest of the public area. Quiet reading area is defined by natural oak floor, dark walnut bor­ der, and colorful Turkish rug. It looks out on a lush, green garden. Deereiei.n Prime Library VOU'ME 1 I.

As we head into the winter months, you can anticipate borrowing videos from the library collection free of charge, exceptfor newerfea­ turefilms.

Overdue fines will be fifty cents per day on these. New feature films will still cost $ l but for only a two day check­ out period and SI a day fine if overdue.

Judy received her undergradu­ ate degree in history from the Uni­ versity of Wisconsin, and Masters Degree in library science from the University of Pittsburgh. She was formerly a Youth Services Librarian at Northbrook Public Library, and at Highland Park Library and served as Head of Youth Services in Pittsburg, Kan­ sas. Judy said, “I am happy to be here and hope to continue to en­ gage, entertain, and educate young people of all ages with our materials and services.” 1, Number 2 My father used to bring home stray cats, and I think he used the same process to choose his friends. He brought home a cat that only had a stump for a tail. Forever called “Tailless,” a car ac­ cident had deprived him of his tail and no end of vets could heal that stub right. The second cat “Meowser’s" ears had been frozen off, leaving only a hint that they should have been there in the first place. We felt sorry for them, but we loved them because they were great cats. My Dad’s friends fit right in there with those cats. Librarian in Hie Lobby I have no clear idea what my Dad saw in those guys. Now entering a fourth year, our suc­ cessful Librarian in the Lobby offers the opportunity for patrons to meet with library administrators to speak informally of library concerns. The director and board members listen to and follow through on patron suggestions, when feasible. Librar­ ian in the Lobby will be offered Wednesday evenings from 7:309 p.m. December 6, January 3 and February 7. They weren’t fishing pals, or drinking buddies. They had no other common linkage except they were all as poorly equipped to cope with life as the cats. Some of them even had frozen off appendages One specimen had thirteen junked Corvairs and nine operating motorcyles. I could but I won’t name names. There was the guy with fifteen dogs, who we called “Doggie.” There was the guy who ran a saloon with a giant live frog in the window, there was the well digger who had six wives by the time he was thirty, there continued on page 2 he Reference Department will offer classes on use of the online computer catalog and Infotrac gateway to magazine articles and company information. (This is not a class on using a per­ sonal computer). Please reserve space by calling Reference, or sign­ ing the meeting reservation book. Classes will be held Saturdays at 10 a.m. on January 13, January 27, February 10 and February 24. Here are some inside tips on use of the computer catalog: Key Word Searching—especially helpful when you know only partial information about a title (example: you want to Find the series of books with “gourmet” in the title-written by a man named “Smith.” American Heritage Electronic Dic­ tionary—to check spelling and defi­ nition of words and abbreviations. InfoTrac: Business and Company ASAP, Magazine Index Plus, Health Index Plus—InfoTrac in­ dexes periodical articles by subject and includes the full text of some articles. Dial-up Access—to our computer catalog-from home or business. (Note: the InfoTrac databases are available in library only.) Young children can L search the library's j holdings on a specialized “kids' computer catalog” in the Youth Services department. *=■ “* �Librarian's DOSli (contined from page 1) was the fisherman who could call up wild fish that lived by the end of his dock, the root beer bottler whose homemade soda “you opened outside and caught it in a pail across the yard," there was the cheesemaker with the long raft of floating oil drums that featured rocking chairs for the fishermen, the car mechanic who did dentistry. I don’t think he felt sorry for them, though a lot of other people did, and I don’t think he loved them all like we did the stray cats. I do know he thought they were “color­ ful" to use his own word. What those friends came down to was simple. Acceptance. Don't judge anyone by what you see on the outside, friends are friends, who you know are your friends, you stick up for your friends whoever they are, and friends don't judge friends. Also, rural Minne­ sota did not give you many choices, though among his group there was an All-American basketball player, a WWII Marine Corps fighter Ace, the best pheasant hunter in Washington County, a sheriff, a priest, a guy covered com­ pletely with naval tattoos and a Carnegie LifeSaving Gold Medal winner. They were differ­ ent but never boring. I chose my friends a lot differently, and I have a far less interesting group to talk to than my Dad did. I am afraid that this is endemic to suburban life. Everyone I know is responsible, has all his body parts, works for a living, has college degrees, speaks perfect English in complete sentences, and has straight teeth. Having been back to Minnesota nine times in the last two years has really made me wonder who Garrison Keillor talks about when he de­ scribes Minnesota, because I don't meet the old-time characters there anymore than I do here. However, it is a serious mistake to think everyone is “just like us." The book I am recommending this month is In Confidence by Anatoly Dobrynin. As So­ viet Foreign Minister he was a participant in most of the Cold War's great confrontations. Dobrynin knew all the international players from Khrushchev to Reagan and sheds a clear light on all the events that shaped our time. The Bay of Pigs, Vietnam and Star Wars are all illuminated by a distinctly different perspec­ tive than we ever got from our newspapers or television Duped by his own government about the missiles in Cuba, cajoled by LBJ to end the Vietnam war in 1965, Dobrynin was at the center of crucial world events for over thirty years and he has a lot to say about all of it. I think we can learn a lot from these former Cold Warriors that they learned the hard, hard way, and that we should never forget. —--- Jack A!fn Hicks. Administrative Librarian vi Pictfon R§om Dedicated] There are still a few patrons who ask, “Where’s the fiction?” Others have already discovered the newly restructured space on the lower level of the library and the large new elevator that provides direct access to the 3,600 square foot room. The fiction room now houses the en­ tire fiction collection of 23,331 volumes including all large print, mysteries, science fiction and an expanded paperback collec­ tion. The room meets the architect, staff, library board and publics expectations of being a quiet, restful, dignified, informal area with excellent lighting. The room was dedicated to Thomas E. Parfitt on Sunday, September 17. Mr. Parfitt, Library Board President for 20 years, gave his thanks and appreciation to the large audience. Bridget Lamont, Director of the Illlinois State Library was an honored guest at the dedication. Ms. Lamont commended the unique use of existing space provided at no extra cost to taxpayers. She also praised the fact that a longtime library trustee was so honored. We thank Deerfield Bakery, Swansons Blossom Shop, Bob Close, Hel’s Kitchen and the Deerfield Garden Club for their contributions to our successful event.

Now a major priority for the library board is efficient renovation of main floor space which formerly housed the fiction collection. It is possible that the fireplace and current periodicals will be moved to the former fiction area providing a pleas­ ant reading space in a more peaceful lo­ cation. This would increase shelf space for the nonfiction collection and busi­ ness room. The Deerfield Public Library has received an official document of Senate Recogni­ tion from the Illinois Senate of the 89th Assembly in recognition of outstanding service to the community.

Its so empty!” (The room presently houses videos, music CD's and cas- D settes, books on tape and biogra­ phies.) A top priority of Library Direc­ tor Jack Hicks and the Library Board's building committee is a re­ organization of the entire main floor, part of a five year renovation plan. It will take some time and patience to insure quality renovation which makes best use of available library space. The Board is presently issu­ ing requests for proposal to several architects familiar with library needs. The Deerfield Library building is 23 years old and it has been nec­ essary to examine needs and reno­ vate one area at a time. Library ma­ terials and services have changed in substance and format in 25 years. The library currently offers com­ puter technology, compact discs, video and audio cassettes which did not exist in years past. The accelera­ tion of technology also has future implications. The library was de­ signed to shelve 65,000 volumes and is currently housing 155,000 vol­ umes. With anticipated renovation of existing space, the library should be able to shelve almost 200,000 volumes yet return openness and grace to our public space. Library construction last year in­ cluded a new, large elevator, front entrance doors, ramps, accessible continued in column 3 i > r. r.R r if.ld continued from column 1 bathrooms, and lowered drinking fountains and telephones to comply with Americans With Disabilities Act. Then came restructuring of lower level space to provide a new fiction room. The room, completed in fall, now provides 37% more pub­ lic floor space in a quiet, newly fur­ nished, pleasing atmosphere. Zy0" Across the Librarian’s Desk Cynics say there is no history and skeptics say that if we do not learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it. I would hope—living in the midst of the infor­ mation age—that we can learn and profit from the knowledge that is so close at hand. As we enter 1996 it appears to me that we as a people are poised on the edge of a new age of isolationism. I mean this both as an element of foreign policy and as a general alien­ ation between us as individuals. The new-isolationists seem all too willing to replace Lindbergh, Father Coughlin, the America Firsters and Senator Borah as the next breed of American Know-Nothings. Maybe the old term “Mugwump" should be revived. I think we should look with great skepticism when politicians tell us we should enter a new era of America First. What we can do to reduce the distance between us as individuals is up to us as individuals, but the for­ eign policy posture of the country is a national decision we should all be focused on. How this has happened at a time of unprecedented global economy is beyond me. In no way should the United States be involved in military adventurism or act as policeman to the world; neither can we sink our heads into the mud. We should have learned the lessons of isolationism fifty years ago—that wrongheaded idealists can take a noble idea and pervert it into an enfeebled and discredited continued on page 2 flmi| Simon Booh Fund rj he Amy Simon Book Fund was started in August, 1991. Since then the Fund has been responsible for the purchase of over 200 books...books that the Deerfield Library would not otherwise have had the funds to purchase. Amy Simon attended South Park School, Caruso Junior High, Deerfield High School, class of’84, and gradu­ ated from Cornell University in 1988. She was a voracious reader of all kinds of books and was a great student of foreign languages. Amy was fluent in French, German and Russian by the time she graduated college and she learned Arabic while serving in the Peace Corps in Mo­ rocco. After returning home from Morocco in 1991, she was killed in an automobile accident in Utah. This Book Fund was established to reflect Amy’s interest in reading and foreign languages as well as her interest in learning about people of the world. The Fund was recently expanded to include purchase of books about women in history. In­ side each book purchased is a label noting that it is part of this collec­ tion. This Fund has been made pos­ sible by the ongoing contributions from Amy s family and friends. New titles are constantly being added. �<©■ '<s3 IFicsfti ra Librarian's Desh (continued from page 1) JI*1 legacy—but it seems too few of us remember.

In the course of the book, j1 It P Jf | | I f | these Gl’s learned all the skills and horrors of war, exhibited enormous courage and rendered many sacrifices. They learned about life. Their life expectancy in a combat infantry line company was extremely short. Company C, 395th Infantry Regiment of the 99th Division, for instance, started its war with 193 men who trained together in the American South; by May 1945, only20of the original men were still with the unit. jj !• ji jj !| jj jj [ | | !i Yes, these men learned a lot about war in the months they spent in combat in Europe but the overall lesson is stated clearly in the Epilogue of the combat history of Company C. Wesley Peyton writes, “In the long view of fifty years, though, it is j] |j j! ji J | clear that the men of Charlie Company were no ji | mere spectators to history. They were history, jj | They helped destroy a truly evil regime which had jj it amassed sufficient power would have not hesi- ij j tated to subjugate and enslave the rest of the ! world.

Scott Javore and Associates from among seven candidates to redesign the main floor of the library. Javores firm, located in Glencoe, Illinois, specializes in architecture, interior design and historic preservation. This first floor renovation is part of a five year plan begun in 1992 with installation of a new heating system, compliance with R the American Disf/L, abilities Act, and 'iff most recently reuM structuring of the lower level for the ^ Thomas E. Parfitt Fiction Room. We now embark on the first floor renovation. It should be able to provide shelving for almost 200,000 volumes, yet return an open feeling, grace and functional­ ism to our public space. The architects have been meeting with the board and the library staff to gather information on how the library operates and what is needed. During the summer they will be working on a schematic design to reconfigure the space as it now exists. Telecirc is Here Now you can renew books, find all the titles you have checked out and hear fines for overdue books auto­ matically by calling 676-1846 from a touch tone telephone. A voice will ask you for your bar code number from your library card, and then you will hear a menu of options. DEER l-IEI.D Librariai cross: I wrote this prose poem in 1981 to help me resolve the loss of a good friend in Vietnam. For Memorial Day 1996 I urge you to remember our veterans. We all too often forget that Memorial Day is more than a three day weekend; it is a day of tribute to all those veterans who never came home. There are 58,000 names on the Vietnam Memorial Wall. Below is my memory of one of them. As a word of explanation, Hamline is my university in St. Paul, MN and my military service delayed my graduation by four years. I have carried this in my billfold for 15 years and refer to it often not only to remember my friend, but also to remember who I am. Every Autumn My memories of Hamline are always set in Autumn. Where early moons made flat transits across the midwest landscape. A place whose falling leaves and football games run on eternal. The enduring thing I came away with was people. We all met young. Some, like my wife I see everyday. Others are flimsy stuff, patterned thin and finewinter grass. Years, like the puff of small winds, have gone by so softly. Continued on page 2 ongratulations to Sue Benn, Board President, who cel­ ebrates twenty years of service on the Deerfield Library Board of Trustees. She has served on numer­ ous board committees and was in­ strumental in library automation, expansion of services and programs, ADA remodeling, library renovation and current restructuring plans. An avid library user, active in many other community organiza­ tions, Mrs. Benn has “provided out­ standing leadership, supported li­ brary programs and has the wonder­ ful ability to bring together diver­ gent views” said Jack Hicks. “Her dedication, creativity, patience and common sense make my job easier.” Staff appointments Sally Seifert has been '"~4 appointed Deputy Ad­ ministrator of the Deerfield Public Li­ brary. She has been Di­ rector of Public Rela­ tions and Programming and an Adult Reference Librarian for nine years. She will continue those duties and assist Jack Hicks in daily library operations. Jennifer Young has joined the Adult Refer­ ence Department. She received her BA in En­ glish and History from Marquette University and her MLS from Ro­ sary College. She previously held positions in a law firm, an account­ ing firm, and was a part-time librar­ ian at the Carol Stream and Westmont Public Libraries.

Time flattens, but does not erase, any of those memories. My vision sharpens when I think of certain : people. Friends with faces forever young so far away in time.

For the first time ever, the Adult and the Childrens summer reading clubs, though completely separate, will have the same theme, Go for the Gold, to honor the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia.

Library staff will as­ sist with suggested tides. The first 100 readers to finish the re­ quired reading will receive a specially printed “Olympic” sports bottle. There will be some additional prizes! This year, regis­ tration and reporting will be in the Fiction Room on the lower level. A party and awards ceremony will be held in the Fic­ tion Room on Friday, August 9 at 2 p.m. Children pre-school through 8th grade may join one of several summer reading clubs.

Program cards are required for any child participating in one of our registered pro­ grams. (Ticketed events, summer or winter reading, or drop-in events are excluded.) Par­ ents must present a Deerfield card at the Youth Services desk to fill out a program card for each child. These cards will have the infor­ mation we need to register efficiently: name, address, phone number and birth date. Once a card is in our files, anyone you choose may register your child either in person or by phone for storytimes and workshops. Please fill out these cards prior to registering for programs. We have computer access to magazines for children’s research. With Gateway Access, you can search magazine, articles on topics of current interest. You can search by subject or keyword to locate article citations, abstracts, and in many cases, the entire text. One of these computers has a printer attached. Please ask for assistance. A CD-Rom computer can access a multimedia encyclopedia to help with home­ work. We hope to add more research tools to it in the future. Please remember that the en­ cyclopedia is not a game.

According to Admin­ istrative Librarian Jack Hicks, this is probably the longest and hardest part of the renovation process as staff and board study the plans and focus on what is most needed now and in the future. Planning and fine tun­ ing for best use of public space will probably run into late fall. The Suaoneflell enrad fifteary F©sdlasC3 ©Garden will be developed out­ side the Fiction Room. * It will be planted for year round beauty. New light­ ing will brighten this space. The new garden has ^ been made possible by gifts to the Fosdick Memorial Fund. Sazonoff or listen. All too often I read scientific sounding sen­ tences that not only have no poetry or beauty but Established are maddeningly devoid of meaning. The Rosemary Sazonoff Me­ morial Fund has been estab­ lished in memory of Mrs. Sazonoff who died last spring. 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. Borge called his language “ word infla­ tion." These were not malapropisms, spoonerisms, neologisms-just gobbledygook.

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?

One holds that technology is the only future for libraries contrasted against a traditionalist past that says—"no change, books only." We hear so much today about computers, in­ formation technology, Internet, cd-rom, that many libraries have lost sight of what residents expect to find when they come into a library. Certainly we try to keep abreast of current technology— we offer a number of online and offline reference (continued on page 2) Rosemarij Sazonoff Creative Writing Contest—Prizes! For Adults 4?

Whether or not librar­ ies will in fact ever become strictly infor­ mation centers remains an open ques­ tion. In the meantime technology and its ancillaries have come to dominate think­ ing and budgets in many libraries. The speed of change in information technology will cause many, many changes in the format and style of deliv- " ery of library service. My crystal ball does not tell me what the final outcome will be. There will be and are new ap­ proaches to the age-old question that has plagued librarians ever since the library at Alexandria in Ptolemaic Egypt. “What's a good book to read?" In fact, readers advisory is becoming one of the most fas­ cinating areas of library service and an area of real growth and development of library service. This also helps librarians focus on what most people come into the library to find—a good book. Ironically the tools of the readers ad­ visory trade are those of computers and technology. These allow us to relate one fiction book to another, produce lists of ”read-a-likes," recommend fiction from obscure authors, and generally provide a more indepth readers referral than we ever could using only our memories and our own reading tastes. Even the Internet has become a great source for readers advisory work. The old fashioned way to learn about new authors and titles is from another reader. Our Summer Reading Club is based on this idea and has been such a success we are organizing a Winter Reading Club to share new titles and to introduce new readers to old titles. Here is a short list of read-a-likes put together by our staff: If you liked Colin Powell's biography, you'll like U.S. Grant’s Memoirs. If you liked Primary Colors you’ll like All the President's Men. If you liked The Last Don. you'll like Honor Thy Father. If you liked A Time To Kill, you'll like A Lesson Before Dying. If you liked The Bean Trees, you'll like Where the Heart Is. If You liked Gods and Generals, you’ll like KillerAngels. If you liked Fried Green To­ matoes you’ll like Walking Across Egypt. If you liked Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, you’ll like A Death in White Bear Lake. And finally if you liked Snow Falling on Cedars. I know you’ll like En­ emy Among Friends. Be sure to watch for our Winter Reading Club. 5 o--- Alan Hicks.

They wrote “The Deerfield Li­ brary has truly been a pillar of the community. Although not the North Shores largest in size or vol­ ume, it easily ranks with the best in performance. Hicks and the elected board of trustees have made the most of every resource.” And while we are “tooting our own horn”, next time you see Jack Hicks, congratulate him on “mov­ ing the library steadily forward for 25 years”!! i > i; r. u i i !•' i, i > cros: America has always been defined by three ideas: equality, opportunity and fair play. To a great degree those ideas set us apart from the rest of the world, especially our emphasis on fair play.

Without the Soviets to loathe we have turned against each other. It is not hard to single out the factors that divided us over the past thirty years: a Vietnam that hasn’t gone away for too many; the assassinations of JFK, Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King, the riots that followed, the Democratic convention of 1968, Watergate: the list is long. All of that was a dark pe­ riod in our history; it was not the age of aquarius at all. It was an age of betrayal and loss of innocence and marked the beginning of the loss of national purpose. Contined on page 2 �rian'i continued from paget The pain and rancor of all of that divided us as a country. I remember Nixon’s cam­ paign slogan of 1968: "Bring us together." What irony. Today we are polarized by race, economics, politics, religion, and an emerg­ ing class system. All this in an era of great well-being. We are bombarded daily with negative information about our political process and our elected officials. Not a day goes by with­ out a new scandal, wasted millions, and a partisan Congress. As a society we have become inured to the outrage we all once felt. We accept rhetoric for ideas, sound bites for knowledge, and low level political tricks for leadership. Worst of all we allow simple minded ideas to be passed around as legiti­ mate thought. The one idea I am going to examine is the cheap-shot of term limits which is bandied about from all sides as an instant cure for our political ills. The Congress enacted presidential term limits back in the early 1950’s as a reaction against the four terms served by President Roosevelt. It sounded like a good idea, and it apparently looked good enough for legis­ lators to enact it into law. But I would sug­ gest it was short sighted, mean spirited, and contributed to the litany of divisive forces that I listed above. I don’t know if anyone was paying attention, but all elective offices have built-in term limits; they’re called elections. It is easy to speculate that if Dwight Eisenhower had been allowed to run for president in 1960, none of the traumatic things listed above would have even hap­ pened. Don’t scoff. Ike had great acceptance and performance ratings from the American pub­ lic; he had really mastered the job by 1960 and was widely respected. He also told us two things that were ignored when he left office: beware of the military-industrial com­ plex and avoid a land war in Asia at all costs. So it follows logically that there would have been no Vietnam, no assassinations, no ri­ ots, no Watergate, no deficit, and no disillu­ sionment. The ideas of equality, opportunity and fair play were ignored. We threw a great president out of office. By accepting cheap rhetoric without examining the conse­ quences we reaped a whirlwind we pay for everyday, with no end in sight. The books I am recommending this month are negative choices, but very reveal­ ing of our political process. Both have been on the best seller list; one is a badly written book with a dubious premise and odd con­ clusions, the other a well written book cov­ ering an unsavory series of incidents. If you harbor thoughts that Robert Bork should be a Supreme Court Justice, read his Slouch­ ing Toward Gomorrah and if you think Bill and Hillary rule with clean hands, read James B. 9tewart’s Blood Sport. f Jack Alan Hicks, Administrative Librarian € Please register for programs in advance!

A Message From Judy Haddad, Director of Youth Services I recently returned from a month long sojourn in Israel. I came back to America gladly and gratefully. You might be thinking I was happy to be back because I missed my family or I didn’t want to be blown up in a terrorist attack. Well, you would be wrong. • What made me feel that we are I |ucky t0 iive jn the United States, especially north suburban Illinois, is the quality of the libraries. There is just no comparison between the quality of ma­ terials and services you find in the North Sub­ urban Library System libraries and anywhere in the world. Rich or poor, big or small, the libraries in Israel just couldn’t cut it. In many libraries in Israel, you wont find a children’s section at all, much less one with such a variety of puzzles, cassettes, cd’s, computers, or even books. However, Israel has something that Deerfield doesn’t—warm beaches. �i • Response to the Rosemary Sazonoff Creative Writing Contest was overwhelming! Thank you! This will be an annual event!

Library Closed Sundays in Summer July 3-Close at 5 p.m. Barns never fell down when I was a kid. Yet as you drive across rural America today that is the com­ mon denominator of all states-barns falling down. I have been struck by this phenomenon for quite some time and I am pretty sure about what it means. Is it the rise of absentee landlords, loss of output, lack of self respect, closing out of the smaller farms, or what I suspect most: a continued depopulation of rural America? Actually it is all of these things, and more. This represents a real change for the heartland of America. No longer the rock-ribbed center of our society, rural America now is owned and managed by large real estate conglomerates, populated during desirable weather by rich urban rusticators Land not given over to rustication by urban dudes in their pickup trucks and useless four-wheel drives has been sec­ onded into giant 3000 acre farms churning out a gross national agricultural product big enough to feed China. All overseen by banks more interested in the bottom line than abstractions like rural life. These events force more and more rural folks off the lands, raise their taxes, close them out of land ownership, and give the most choice parcels to city July 4- Closed for business, open for lemonade continued on page 2 “The Ins and Outs of Real Life as an FBI Investigator in Today’s So­ ciety” will be presented at 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 17 by Bill Keefe who was an FBI street agent for 17 years and is now a supervisor of FBI agents in the Chicago office.

Seeing my grandparents’ home town of Rockwell City. Iowa not as a cru­ cible of commerce, or trumpet of trade, but as a forlorn relic really hurts. Where are all the rural Americans, why did they go. and where do they live now? The reasons are almost as simple as the enclosure laws that preceded the In­ dustrial Revolution. Farms expanded in size as units of service, the 1970's and 1980's bankrupted what was left of the family farm, herbicides, pesticides and a liquid nitrogen changed the way anything is raised in America. When I was a kid, a large hog farm was 100 porkers. Today, across America, a large hog operation is a hundred thousand hogs fouling the air and water for five hundred square miles. Not only a change in farming, but a mas­ sive incursion into the environment as well as the social strata of rural America. In urban Chicago welfare is a code word for racism; in rural America welfare means half the shrunken population of any given county. Why mourn these changes? I suppose at the basic level it is a feeling for me of a personal loss of identity. I knew and iden­ tified with a way of life that is gone forever. But I also mourn the loss of a value sys­ tem that placed family first, hard work and industry second, with education underlay­ ing both ideas. Instead of a therapist, a tight knit circle of relatives and friends provided support and comfort. I look at my grand­ parents' home and remember a college professor, banker, a head of a Fortune 500 company who grew up there. Now it looks like someone who married his sister lives there. Where they all went is a mystery to me. Many went on to college and never looked back, others disappeared into low-paying industrial jobs in the rust belt. But so many characters I knew as a kid could never sur­ vive in the city—no skills, eccentric beyond description, independent beyond taming. A rough-hewn class of rough cobs, who could shoot out a pheasant’s eye at a hun­ dred yards, always willing to help eat a pie or give a hand to a neighbor down on their luck, they populated Faulkner's Missis­ sippi. Sinclair Lewis'Gopher Prairie, and were grist for so many other great Ameri­ can novelists’ work. To see what I mean read Faulkner's As I Lay Dying or Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men Reflecting a Prairie Town and The Lincoln Highway photo essays by Drake Hokanson profile the decline of the small town today. Any title by Jon Hassler, Staggerford. North of Hope. Grand Opening and so on accurately portrays current small town life. Jack Alan Hicks.
