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

A Deerfield resident, Morris also works as a Local Area Network System Administrator and Librarian at Northbrook Library. He holds 3 masters degrees: Math from University of Illinois, Theology from Trinity and Library Science from Rosary. With this range of interests Morris has selected librarianship because "I like libraries and the people I work with; When I go home I feel I've helped people and this is a good feeling." �Adult Programs Library programs are free, but reservations are requested. mm A Time Management New Solutions Tuesday, April 5,7:30 p.m. Hints and how-to's for making most efficent and effective use of your 24 hour day.

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

Across the Librarian’s Desk We all grew up in different cities, Baltimore, Minneapolis, Cleveland, Chicago, Palo Alto, Istanbul, Cologne, all different, from everywhere. Stored in our heads are the roadsigns and road maps we used to navigate those towns. Some of the maps stored away in our heads have Celebrate on the Reading Railroad with the Youth Services Dep^.

In fact we use them every day even though we may not know it. As I approach old age I have come to real­ ize that roadmaps are as inexorable as the DNA genetic code. They tell us where we came from, and who we are. What we respect, value, and how we interact. What we like to eat. This accidental geography of birth becomes as important as our parents. The value schemes, the ethnocentricisms. the lattice and matrix of our thinking process is regional; who we are is where we are from. Librarian in the Lobbq Monday, June 6 from 7-9 p.m. Jack Hicks and a member of the Library Board will meet the public in the front lobby to talk informally of library con­ cerns. This will mark the end of the second year of a successful, innovative program which encour­ ages residents to speak up. Librarian in the Lobby will resume in September. andidates have been inter­ viewed to fill Rosemary Sazonoff’s one year unex­ pired term on the Deerfield Library Board of Trustees. Sazonoff retired from the Board after 21 years of service. For many years she served as Board Secretary.

Her board contributions have always been directed toward increasing service, containing expenses and supporting the staff. For her extensive community service, Mayor Bernard Forrest pro­ claimed the 2nd day of May, 1994 as Rosemary Sazonoff Day in Deerfield. Sitting in a staff meeting, I hear Minneapolis, Chicago, Cleveland—two dialects —Pepper Pike and Shaker Heights—Lubbock. Riga, Istanbul, Los Angeles, and Cedar Rapids all being spoken . We all bring a different tone of voice and point of view—based on our old road maps. We speak from the streets where our Continued on page 2 Renovation Update It’s been a busy year. Our Americans With Disabilites renova­ tion is now complete. Self opening front doors come this summer. The library now has accessible restrooms, elevator, fire escape ramps, telephone, TDD, and lowered drinking fountains. A planning process is under­ way to include remodeling the lower level gallery, reducing office space and moving ourfiction collection downstairs. This plan will mean a 22% increase in avail­ able floor space and a REAL quiet room. l UA �Librarian's Desh continued from page 1 grandparents lived, the street past the night school, the street of our girl friend's college dorm. Fixed points in an ever changing life, and we remember what all those people taught us. Literature and science alike will tell you that American regionalism is going the way of the passenger pigeon. I not only hope not. I know it is not. Oh. maybe the obvious twang of an Okie, or the drawl of a Texan, but even there a good ear will hear Dallas, west Texas, or Oklahoma. The old road signs steer us home everytime. Value schemes may be harder to see. and maybe they are fad­ ing away. They will if we let them. We all worry today about what we see as a decline in our society. Read a little history. Violence. It was ever so, only not reported as routinely or spectac­ ularly. There was always someone who pulled a gun or a knife to settle a dis­ agreement. There were probably those who carried guns to school, the differ­ ence today seems to be the mindless willingness to use them. Maybe Old Lodgskins said it best in Little Big Man, "...white men are crazy, they don't know where the center of the earth is." Road maps, maybe we should start using them more often. Or maybe we should be turning back tcrthe hometown sources of those maps and find an unwillingness to accept or tolerate violence. Whether the vio­ lence is racism, crime, drugs, institution­ al barbarism in our prisons, conglomer­ ate America, dumping toxic waste in our old swimming hole, or a kid packing a gun. Racism, drugs and crime do not have to be part and parcel of our daily lives. Our social roadsigns should steer us away from accepting murder mas­ querading as entertainment in TV and movies or lurid crime replacing news and reporting in our papers. The real crime is our acquiescence, acceptance, tolerance and participation in this corruption of our society. Look in the media mirror, it reflects us. The book I am recommending this month is Zephyr by Henry Kisor. Riding the Amtrak Zephry Kisor samples the sights and people on his train trip west. Always an interesting author. Henry Kisor taps into the lives of his fellow pas­ sengers. and the vital signs of railroading. 1 Jack Alan Hicks'Administrative Librarian every Monday morning to index our liter­ ary criticism collection.

The Novels ThgF Sizzle! fp® r-'- 1984 has arrived ten years late and it is being hailed as the dawn of a new day. What I am concerned about is the advent of political correctness. How this has happened, and how it has been passively accepted defy my imagi­ nation. Maybe the past thirty years have inured us to accept the unacceptable. It has been a rough thirty years—Viet Nam, Watergate, Irangate, the Persian War, stagflation, reces­ -ll well as the disintegration of the Soviet Union. November 8—Authors Cathie Linz & Linda Wiatr Ethiopia and now Rwanda seem not to touch us ;>1 sion and the loss of our global market share, as Global catastrophe in Bangladesh, Somalia, (Laurel Collins) present an indepth look at the ever popular and often misunderstood romance novel.

This is an opportunity to offer sugges­ tions and discuss concerns infor­ mally with library leaders. Donald P. Van Arsdale has been selected to fill the unexpired one year Library Board term vacated by retiring Rosemary Sazonoff. Van Arsdale is Executive Director of The Winnetka Community House. A graduate of Western Illinois University, he was formerly em­ ployed by area park districts and has served on several non profit boards. He said, “I’m happy to serve the people of Deerfield in this wonderful library and hope to contribute my many years of pub­ lic service experience.” He, his wife Mary and daughter Karen have lived in Deerfield since 1990. knowledge dr sympathy for those cultures. When I was a teenager I was an insatiable reader. Living at the end of an eighteen-mile dirt road either makes you turn inward or look out longingly to the distant world. I read so many and books stand out: Graham Greene, Neville Shute, Herman Wouk, Norman Mailer, Ernest Hemingway, The Silver Chalice, Raintree County, The Caine Mutiny, The Cruel Sea. I came to love Greene, Shute and Wouk for their Continued on page 2 We appreciate your gifts!

No exceptions! �Librarian's Desh continued from page 1 abilty to move me in time and place and put me directly into the story being told. What stands out about all the reading was my free choice and access to read any­ thing I wanted. Free choice is what makes us Americans. Can kids make those same free choices today when they want to read or even watch TV? I hope so, but I don’t know for how long. Political correctness is a fundamental challenge to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights that could block access to information, stymie free inquiry, hamper the right to receive information, stop freedom of the press. It has already deeply damaged freedom of speech. College campuses across the U.S. have become deeply attached to pc; in fact, many of them employ the equiva­ lent of thought police to insure doctrinal purity. My problem is whose doctrine, whose purity? In the condescending clam­ our to do good and be nice, are we throw­ ing away our crucial civil rights? My own professional organization, the American Library Association, embraces and advocates politically cor­ rect speech and thought. Their new ortho­ doxy is placing them far from many librari­ ans who still believe in the Bill of Rights. By no means do I want to return to an era of racial, religious, sexist and gender slurs and epithets. But I reject the prison of polit­ ical correctness as an even more danger­ ous social evil. It reminds me all too much of my neighbor from the Soviet Union chill­ ingly dismissing her father's tenure in the Siberian Gulag as the result of "merely not being correct with government." Let's hope I turn out to be wrong when I sa$< 1984 has come ten years late.Has anyone read Orwell's 1984 lately?. The books I am recommending this month are all nonfiction and cover a wide field of experience. The Roosevelts by Peter Collier. Leading With My Heart by Virginia Kelley. Life of the Party by Chris Ogden, and finally Land Where the Blues Began by Alan Lomax. Like Bill Clinton or not, you can't help but like his mother and her can­ dor. Alan Lomax has chronicled American music for most of this century and knows the themes and rhythm of blues music like no one else. Pamela Digby Churchill Hayward Harriman was indeed the "life of the party" and knew all the rich and power­ ful on both sides of the Atlantic for the past fifty years. (And married most of them!) The Roosevelts is a fine essay on money, poli­ tics. power and arguably the most important political family in U.S. history. ---- — r : Jack Alan Hicks.

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

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

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

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

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.

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. Action car Summer Reading Clubs—JOIN! See details inside chases, shootings, sex and gruesome violence have Neui lo the Brea? all replaced drama, comedy and romance. Where are elcome to our community! New residents are invited to stop in for a library card. Please bring 2 forms of i.d. showing Deerfield address. Card is free if you live in incorporated Deerfield; the state sets a $150 fee for non residents and mandates that they borrow only at the library where they purchased their card. the wonderful musicals of the 1940’s and the great “adult" film noir that defined films for so long? 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.

November. 1995 TTGlxs Ho IPcarfitf* ss^ CFucsttncojcra For the Deerfield Library, the past year has been one of renovation, transformation and technological change. 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. The library board voted to permit Deerfield cardholders to check out older fea­ ture films, childrens, travel and subject vid­ eos free for two days. 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. It is not possible to give an exact starting date, since the computer system must be repro­ grammed to accomodate the new loan pro­ cedure. As always, you must be 18 or older to check out videos. The Young People's Summer Reading Club was a “tree-mendous” success, as 801 readers participated. 55 S’T“A"R‘ volunteers helped librarians, and PALS were reading buddies with young readers.

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. Free Videos for Deerfield Cardholders (except new feature films which cost $1.00) • 2 day loan (Sunday included) for all videos. • Must be 18 or older. Adult cardholder must be present. • No video reserves, no renewals. • New feature films: $1 per day overdue fine. • All other overdue videos: 50 cents per day overdue fine. • New outside video drop for videos only. Use only when library is closed. From left: Director Jack Flicks, Board Members Yvonne Sharpe and Diane Kraus at dedication llil®E*<2«r^' ir©nB<©v«ai#i@Era Fall 1993 saw the installation of the library’s handicapped accessible front doors and the addition of an outside video drop for pa­ tron convenience. 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. Our local author and Deerfield neigh­ bor Lowell Komie has received the prestigious Carl Sandburg Award for fic­ tion for his The Lawyer's Chamber and Other Stories from the Friends of the Chi­ cago Public Library. �Z5XE© CLD [LTF EP C& <fi> © m Z5\ iMi S AcflosB* WUEratfc&DCalendar 6 14 20 24-25 31 December Librarian in the Lobby, 7:30-9 p.m. Book Discussion, Fried Green Tomatoes, 10:30 a.m. Library Board, 8 p.m. Library Closed - Christmas Close at 5 p.m. - New Year’s Eve January 1 Library Closed - New Year’s Day 3 Librarian in the Lobby, 7:30-9 p.m. 11 Book Discussion, Time and Again, 10:30 a.m. Depression: Defining and Defeating It, 7 p.m. 17 Library Board, 8 p.m. 23 New York Apartments, 7 p.m. 30 Great Decisions begins, 7:30 p.m. 31 Beautiful Prague, 7 p.m. February 7 Make Yourself Unique in the Job Market, 7 p.m. Librarian in the Lobby, 7:30-9 p.m. 8 Book Discussion, Sense and Sensibility, 10:30 a.m. 13 Dramatic Poetry, 7 p.m. 18 Writing Poems, 2 p.m. 21 Library Board, 8 p.m. 29 North Shore Homes, 7 p.m. Voter Registration: Saturdays, January 27 and February 17, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. fax Assists D'D <30 IRS/ AARP volunteers will again offer free income tax assistance in the library from 1-4 p.m. Tuesdays and Fridays, February 2- April 12.

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. I have on my desk an exceptional book about a large group of ordinary Americans who did ex­ traordinary things. It is Dauntless, the history of the 99th Infantry Division during WWII.

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. That Germany fifty years after May 8,1945 !l ! is at peace, with itself and its European neigh- j bors, is Charlie Company’s legacy. The men of j Company C, 395th Infantry Regiment, 99th Divi- j sion—and millions like them—fought and gained § a peace that has endured. They deserve to be remembered for it." mi Library staff in the fiction room are happy to assist you in your book selection in per­ son or by telephone.

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.

Rest in peace Paul, I try to live a part of each day for you. 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.

Registrants will be asked to read five books, three of which must fall into one or more of these categories: award winning books, books about sports or books about the American South. 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. Children under seven should use it only with a parents assis­ tance. To be fair, please limit time.
