June 12-August 11 Librarians are fond of authors I who are originals, one-of-a-kind, who establish themselves by the uniqueness of their work. Edward Gorey was just such an author who lived up to his apt name. A large man who wrote small books about obscure and often mordant themes that featured a self-mock­ ing peril: books that never failed to entertain. Gorey began as a self-published small press author who graduated to mainstream recognition through a series of illustrated books based on bizarre situations—swooning damsels in distress, doomed, helpless little children, menacing gargoyles and rose bushes, labyrinthine hedges, doors to nowhere—all drawn up in an elegant black-ink Victorian style. Dark and macabre maybe, whimsical and poetic always. He is widely known as the illustrator of the PBS TV series “Mystery.” Even if you have only seen a sin­ gle Gorey drawing you will never forget it. Gorey claimed he only wrote about real life; if that is true, what an odd and unique life he led. This is not an ode to Edward Gorey who died in April, but a continued on back page o Adults: Attention armchair travelers!

Where does imagination and creativity come from? How does one person embody so many ideas while so many folks have none? Gorey demonstrated with his slim books that it is not necessary to grind out thousands of pages to be creative—it is the quality of the ideas, the originality of the product, the insight of the imagination that produces a book of lasting interest. Gorey was in effect Charles Dickens in reverse—small books versus huge books— but the results were the same; rich memo­ rable characters and settings that grip our imagination. Where do we stumble across those qualities in today’s life? Certainly we spend a lot of time reading popular mass market fiction, watching movies and TV, or surfing the internet—but in all of these, creativity seems to take second or third place to marketing strategy. Of course there are exceptions, and cre­ ativity that sells a product is fine, but does it have the same social worth as creativity for its own intrinsic worth? I am afraid that our senses have been dulled over the years so that our ability to identify and recognize creativity when we see it has been seriously diminished. Maybe there truly is no market for originality; or don’t people real­ ize the difference between good, bad, and boring anymore? Worse, do we recognize brilliance when we see it? Or, do we as a society fail to reward creativity, uniqueness, and originality? Gorey contrasts so clearly with formula writers who chum out endless best sellers—yet offer no Deerfield Public Library 920 Waukegan Road Deerfield, Illinois 60015 m i;iii h i ■ill— Jack Hicks, Administrative Librarian Mon.-Thurs: Friday: Saturday: Sunday: i._...... 9:00 am - 9:00 pm 9:00 am - 6:00 pm 9:00 am - 5:00 pm Closed Editor: Sally Seifert Jack Alan Hicks Administrative Librarian Non Profit Org.

Worse, I guess, is sit­ ting transfixed by internet, watching screens that offer nothing original, in fact which resemble slow moving electronic comic books. Internet has yet to live up to its potential, though I am sure it will. But will it be a power for creativity or just commercialism? Albert Einstein said in 1939 that “If science, like art, is to perform its mission truly and fully, its achievements must enter not only superficially but jjjfrix with their inner meanings into W®, the consciousness of people.” 1 ^ The surSe P°Pular culture /U® veers away from that paradigm. So much of our popular culture today springs from just those sources—mass market v books, TV, movies and of course the internet. Where is the writing, the thinking, the creativity? Please don’t tell me the best brains of today are all in e-business because if they are, we are in a lot of trouble as a society.What do we have? Tedious authors writing best sellers—dim witted and formulaic. The bottom end of TV is an endless parade of mindless pop-culture, single­ message messianic “gurus” who offer us simpleminded solutions to life’s more vexing problems. Movies seem to be all about car chase block­ busters with no scripts. All this is forgettable, while a single Gorey drawing stays in your mem­ ory forever. Talent versus no talent. In an era of clones, Gorey proved one thing; no one can copy him. And please WTTW—no more gurus— aaargh!

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

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

To many of us from my gen­ eration he is remembered as a very talented and creative man who, if he did not invent late night televi­ sion, certainly put his mark on it. The late night talk show hosts as personified by Jack Paar, Johnny Carson, Jay Leno, David Letterman, or Conan O’Brien owe much to Steve Allen. Their format and style is one that he invented and perfected. His talent and origi­ nality have never been equaled and his presence will be missed. A man for all seasons, he was a composer, a comedian, a writer, an actor and a serious thinker. He was a Chicago boy and his death speaks to my youth. Old timers like myself always talk of the “golden age of televi­ sion” with reverence. Whether reverence is deserved or not is beside the point. We remember it that way, and there is no way to convince us dial TV is alive and well and better than ever. I clearly remember the first television event that I ever saw—the Ezzard Charles and Jersey Joe Walcott title fight of 1948 or ‘49. continued on back page n urt',°e ---- Library Entrance Lobby Redesigned A brighter and more welcoming entrance to the library will soon be completed by architect D.F Wrobleski, who was the architect for the library’s lower level Fiction Room and Youth Services Department. Wrobleski said this was required to be in compliance with ADA standards. The original floor’s surface had become very irregular and dangerous. “This is an opportunity to install a new, light colored floor and doors to increase a sense of welcome to the library. Furthermore, the exterior concrete was cracked by winter snow melt and is being replaced with a more decorative stone and brick. Two stone planters will be installed to separate the building from the parking lot” he said. For those fond of the front lobby water fountain, a memorial to Deerfield’s Donald McCabe, be assured that it will remain; it will be redesigned a little smaller to make the library more accessible and will be set on a circular rose marble base to make it safer for traffic in and out of the library. Since the ADA required renovation, the library board took this opportunity to enhance and update the library lobby and make the entrance safer for everyone. Blumenthal Selected for Library Board Jeff Blumenthal, a Chicago native who has lived in Deerfield for 11 years has been appointed by the board from among a number of applicants to fill the unexpired term of Yvonne Sharpe. Sharpe, a board member since 1992, has moved to Riverwoods. Blumenthal, a civil litigation lawyer for Foran & Schultz, spends a great deal of time in the library, “It’s my home away from home” said Blumenthal who loves to read and often brings his wife and three children. He is a graduate of Northwestern where he majored in liberal arts and has his law degree from the University of Pennsylvania. Village manager Robert D. Franz (left) swears in Jeff Blumenthal as a new library board member. The Library will be closed: December 24,25,31 and January 1. �Morning Book Discussions in the Fiction Room Thursdays, 10:30 am ■ December 14 Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K.Rowling Rescued from the neglect of his aunt and uncle, a young boy proves himself while attending Hogwarts School for Wizards and Witches.

I watched with my Dad at a local saloon; the bartender confided to us that he had a lock on TV in my hometown, “because he got into TV on the ground floor.” I think that set had a six inch circular screen and the bar is now a parking lot. Reminds me more than a bit of today’s dot.com frenzy. So much has changed in American life in the past fifty years it is impossible to get a frame of reference or to see the scope of those changes. Certainly the younger generation has no idea what we are talking about when we use terms like “Stalin ” “cold war” or “golden age of tele­ vision." Why should they? For them man has always been on the moon, they have always had cell phones, pagers, and post-it notes. Viet Nam is a country, not an issue tearing generations apart. They have no idea what it meant to say “I Like Ike” and really love a presidential candi­ date. The young don’t know Watergate, maybe Iran-Contra and the Gulf War..... events distort­ ed by TV. In a way, television is a microcosm of the past fifty years. It started off simply, got our attention, developed a persona, went from black and white to color and took off in complexity and controversy. The first coast-to-coast broad­ casts were events everyone watched with awetelevision could span the continent. Many of us sat transfixed by Joseph Welch and Joe McCarthy. There were the first presidential debates, the moonwalk, the assassinations. At the same time TV got very shallow and compli­ cated, losing its originality in the quest for cor­ porate profit. Style and content went by the wayside and the medium was branded a “Vast Deerfield Public Library 920 Waukegan Road Deerfield, Illinois 60015 Deerfield Public Library' Jack Hicks, Administrative Librarian Library' Board Sue Benn, President David Wolff, Secretary William Seiden, Treasurer Ken Abosch Jack Anderson Jeffrey Blumenthal Sunday Mueller Library' Hours Mon.-Thurs: 9:00 am - 9:00 pm Friday: 9:00 am - 6:00 pm Saturday: 9:00 am - 5:00 pm 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm Sunday: Editor: Sally Brickman Wasteland.” Edward R. Murrow, our best TV newsman, warned that without standards televi­ sion was nothing more than “lights and wires in a box.” In many ways the real golden age of televi­ sion is now. Cable, satellite dishes, DVD, com­ puter animation, and now instant live program­ ming delay are all significant technological advances. Picture quality and program availabil­ ity are nothing short of sensational. There is something on television, cable, or dish twentyfour hours a day, seven days a week. Events that happen half a world away are instantly shown on TV as they happen. It is absolutely a techno­ logical marvel, but somehow we are poorer for it all. The media can show us events, but puerile analysts cannot tell us what the events mean or why it happened. TV reality has become, after all, a light show in a box with all the intelli­ gence and integrity of a kids video game. So the passing of Steve Allen has special poignancy for those of my generation. His talent and originality are missed; we are left with a void not met by corporate minions. Lights in a box will never challenge us, inspire us, or make us laugh. I believe the golden age of TV is now because of the stupendous technology, but I also firmly know the golden age of talent has long since passed. Jackie Gleason, Edward R. Murrow, Ernie Kovacs, Steve Allen, to name only a few, are talents we will never see again because they could never slither through the fil­ ter of the corporate sieve. I recommend Hi-Ho, Steverino! by Steve Allen for a glimpse into this American original. — Jack Alan Hicks Administrative Librarian Non Profit Org.

We were involved with bricks and mortar, computers, landscaping and elevators and still managed to add over 10,000 books, videos, audio cassettes and... new this year DVD’s and books on CD... and to serve all your information needs. Our Community where hundreds took passports behind the scenes to view each department; music, beanie baby prizes and food were pop­ ular! The Bristol Renaissance Faire visited us in May, taking us back to the 16th century as Queen Elizabeth Tudor knighted the children, townspeople picnicked on the lawn and music and dancing provided a leisurely contrast to our 21st century. Programs We held 61 adult programs, including several co-partnered with the Deerfield Fine Arts Commission, Deerfield Area Historical Society, U.S. Foreign Policy Association and North Suburban Library System. We offered income tax assistance, flu shots, voter registration, free July 4 lemonade, Ravinia passes, the 4th annual Rosemary Sazonoff Creative Writing Contest, 15 classes on using the Internet and monthly Librarian in the Lobby, our “in person suggestion box”. We served Deerfield schools and students with our annual Student Government Day, where we learn along with our teens, and with library instruction for junior high students. Youth Services Reading Roundup has been a rousing success for 2-8th graders, and Exploring Art Through Literature workshops are the talk of the town. Crafts and storytime are popular Family Fun Night activities. Library visitors from the Chinese Academy of Sciences said, “If only we had something like this for our children in China!” Other projects finalized this year are lobby and entrance remodeling to meet ADA stan­ dards, rebuilding of an elevator, and rebuilding of the west garden (Youth Services area), Cell phone use was banned to make the library more peaceful Progress Plans for the future include a revamp of the AV room to become more accessible and attractive: new lights and proper shelving for books on tape, videos and DVD’s Jeff Blumenthal was appointed to the library board to replace Yvonne Sharpe in 2000. Bill Seiden also served in 2000 as presi­ dent of the North Suburban Library System. In 2001 Bill Seiden and John Anderson will leave their Deerfield Library board positions and a 2001 spring board election will bring changes to the makekup of the library board. We were saddened at the death this year of Tony Sabato who retired from the library board in 1997 after 19 years of service. During 2000, Glenn Poch was selected Head of Technical Service and spearheaded new computer installation. Better equipment and response time has brought us up to speed for the 21st century and we shall continue to enhance our collection, and provide valuable service to our community.

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

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

On the second Saturday of each month, (September 8, October 13 and November 10) from 9 a.m. to noon in the library lobby, library visitors can talk informally with Administrative Librarian Jack Hicks along with one of the members of the library board of trustees.

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

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

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

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

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

It was located inside the Deerfield Grammar School • •;* •••' V . 9\*rr > v 1 to the west of the current Deerfield School i Administration Building and H Deerfield Historic Village. The Grammar School has since been tom down. Muriel Zahnle, then h •1 . •* ! “You have to understand I was looking at it from a little girl perspective. We entered from the outside of the building, through the white double doors. I could smell the new varnish and marveled at the new shiny unmarked maple floors. The windows were bright, with no coverings. The wood was light, but there was no front desk like our library today. The librari­ an Mrs. Wolff sat at a yellowish teacher’s desk. She stacked the books on her desk as they were returned. We had cards to sign books in and out, and Mrs. Wolff had a stamper. My favorite books were the Bobbsey twins and all those other twins books, the Eskimo twins, the Japanese twins, etc. The books in those days were bound in one color: red, blue, etc. and had few illustrations. The library was only in one room.” “There was no furniture to sit on like we have today, and the hours were 2-5 p.m. a few days a week as I recall. Mrs. Wolf (the librarian) was always available and remembered your name. She was a small, gentle person with large glasses who serviced her readers, always finding the right book for the right person. It was friendly because she made it friendly. She had a card catalog but the budget must have been limited because she always welcomed donations. I enjoyed her. Her assistant was a young, slim Mrs. Dobbins.” “I had never been in a library before.
