Ryan, Illinois Secretary of State and State Librarian, to serve on The Lake County Regional Public Li­ brary Sendee Planning Panel to look at future development of public li­ brary services in Lake County. The committee will address: how library service should be delivered to the unserved, what the local service ar­ eas should be, options for forming these service areas and how they should be funded. The planning may have impor­ tant results for Riverwoods and Bannockburn, our adjacent commu­ nities which are now unserved by any library. .... ,r~-w ■ - just as worried about that phenomenon here in the U.S. We are dangerously close to not only losing the beauty, precision, and eloquence of the English language but also any coherent meaning.

According to Admin­ istrative Librarian Jack Hicks, this is probably the longest and hardest part of the renovation process as staff and board study the plans and focus on what is most needed now and in the future. Planning and fine tun­ ing for best use of public space will probably run into late fall.

All too often I read scientific sounding sen­ tences that not only have no poetry or beauty but Established are maddeningly devoid of meaning. The Rosemary Sazonoff Me­ morial Fund has been estab­ lished in memory of Mrs. Sazonoff who died last spring. For many years she had been an active member of the library board and the Deerfield community. The library staffwill use the funds for an annual Rosemany Sazonoff writing contest for the community. This is a fitting memo­ rial to Sazonoff who was a journalist for the Pulitzer Lerner Newspapers. The contest will be held in spring. The Danish comic piano player, Victor Borge, made a career of onstage talk—made doubly meaning­ less by the delivery itself—horrible mispronunciations that were often the literal interpretation of the writ­ ten word. Borge called his language “ word infla­ tion." These were not malapropisms, spoonerisms, neologisms-just gobbledygook.

The way our language is evolving, what we are soon going to have is a cross between Victor Borge and the brutal language in Anthony Burgess’s book about a ruthless, soul-less future, A Clockwork Orange. Here is a tiny sampling of the non-words that are commonplace in our new non-language: go to the mat, input, surf—which is both a computer and sports cliche, risktaker—who is always rewarded, cyber-anything, paradigm, sidemantle, interactive, stake­ holder—who was someone in the Boy Scouts who helped put up your pup tent, outsource, and the feared outplace, ecosystem, access, gatekeeper—who is good at getting money in but never letting it out, enable, empower, supercomputer, virtual reality, cheese food— whatever that is, learning curve— which I always seem to be behind, parameters, interface, share, enriching, network, downsize—the dreaded catch-word of the 90’s, advocacy, quality time, information superhighway which we all surf. Oh, these words and the sentences they bloat—they’re just so, so meaningful. I use what I call the Kentucky Colonel test when I read jargon and drivel--if I can insert the phrase Ken­ tucky Colonel in place of the catch phrase and the sentence still makes sense, you’re in trouble. What I hear and see falls into about four general categories: the increasing use of non-words, the horrible mispro­ nunciation you hear on television, the overuse of cliches, and finally—maybe the worst—the worthless habit of turning nouns into verbs.Throw in the computerisms and sports terms that have crept into daily usage and you find a language that is losing the power of expression. What is it we want from language? First and foremost the language must be of specificity to avoid ambiguity (yet not mimic German). But we crave and demand more; there must be beauty— even grandeur from our language The English language has always been renowned for its power, beauty, and expressiveness—it has the potential to stir our souls—the most lyrical and descriptive language on earth. We have always welcomed words from other languages, because they often express an emotion or feeling better than old stale words. Terms like bungalow and badminton from India have become staples of the English language. I would suggest that up to now our language has followed a natural transformation to make words more effective or expressive.

Accessible language panders to the lowest instincts, not the most noble, to produce a meaningless choreography of banal words. Maybe the use of non­ language is directly proportional to our efforts when we try to simplify an increasingly complex world, or when we just shirk our duty to think. Language is probably the most perfect barometer we have for a society; it reflects exactly and totally who we are and what we think. Our language has begun to emulate our domestic architecture—no front porch, but elaborately enclosed backyards. Maybe our language is a perfect metaphor for today; it reveals all that we are willing or able to reveal about ourselves. I would like to think otherwise; but words speak louder than hopes and words are definitely losing as we surf our way out into the mainstream of the information superhighway. What will the permanent barometer of our language record about us?

The library was moved tempo­ rarily in 1955 to a converted store at 758 Waukegan. In 1959 the li­ brary shared space with the town hall as a township library.

One holds that technology is the only future for libraries contrasted against a traditionalist past that says—"no change, books only."

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

They wrote “The Deerfield Li­ brary has truly been a pillar of the community. Although not the North Shores largest in size or vol­ ume, it easily ranks with the best in performance. Hicks and the elected board of trustees have made the most of every resource.” And while we are “tooting our own horn”, next time you see Jack Hicks, congratulate him on “mov­ ing the library steadily forward for 25 years”!! i > i; r. u i i !•' i, i > cros: America has always been defined by three ideas: equality, opportunity and fair play. To a great degree those ideas set us apart from the rest of the world, especially our emphasis on fair play. In the past twenty years or so even the most optimistic of us would agree that meanness has crept in to replace fair play and Ho Johe—Vote April l that reactive instincts have displaced optimism. Why K3 this is true in an era of unprecedented American power ue Benn and Ken Abosch will run for positions on the Library Board of Trustees in Deerfield’s April 1 election.

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

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

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

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

This shift was necessary as the collection has grown so much. Without enlarging the building, the lower level Fiction Room had been constructed and left available space for collection growth. The 800 s and the 900’s are now in the east room next to biographies. The videos are permanently on the north wall. Books on cassette tape are housed in temporary shelving in this room. In the west room, all Reference materials and the 000 s through 700 s were shifted forward on the shelves. Circulating business books are now merged into the circulating nonfic­ tion collection (in numbered se­ quence). A reference librarian can assist you in finding materials. In fall you will see more “sprucing up” of public space. Architect R. Scott Javore and Associates' plans have been approved and renovation begins!

Those lines from Allen Ginsberg’s epic poem, Howl, summed up and energized a whole generation in the 1950’s. I remember the first time I heard Ginsberg read live from his work; it was like being hit by lightning. Ginsberg's rhythms, wild phrasing, and meaningless imagery overturned everything I had been taught, ev­ and then they said that fl could renew my books over the phone. \ WOW! ^ erything that gave order and discipline to writing, espe­ cially poetry. I followed Ginsberg's career, work and ^M life, over the years and always felt that he was the moral ethical spokesman for my generation. I did not always agree with either his life or his work, but his insight and w artistry plumbed the central issues of our age. Yes, he occasionally verged on the bizarre in his appearance y and his poetry, but there always remained the vital, moral ethical voice that never failed to ring out defining free­ dom, individuality, and resistance to life lived as a cli­ che.

While that thought was still roll­ ing around in the back of my mind, Carl Sagan and Jacques Cousteau also died and then that idea began to really bother me. Who will speak for us? Certainly, I did not always agree with what Sagan wrote or said, but behind the man was that same moral ethical voice that had made Allen Ginsberg part of my life. Sagan spoke and wrote for years, but it took television to make him a household word. His concern for the fu­ ture, the environment and the whole world’s quality of life is unparalleled today. Ultimately Sagan became somewhat of a parody of him­ self, lending his thought and delivery to comics to mimic, but his moral ethical concerns remain clear and direct. I only wish the current movie, Contact, on which Sagan collaborated, was a more fitting tribute to the man. Sagan's books and thoughts will be with us for a long time. I first learned the name Cousteau when in 19541 bought a two-hose scuba regulator used for skin diving that was made in France and marked Cousteau-Gagnan. I used that regu­ lator to dive all over the state of Minnesota to discover the unimpeded joys of scuba diving. Later in the 1950’s Cousteau made his fame with his books and the obscure French naval officer, who in partnership with Emil Gagnon developed the first practical underwater breath­ ing device. Cousteau went far in his life, from inventor and itinerant diver to probably the most recognized and respected spokesman for our natural environment. He spoke, wrote and made films that delivered that same message over and over: our world is precious and man is working overtime to destroy it; save it now or it will be lost forever. Who will speak for us? The passing of these three diverse men is an incalculable loss to us as a society, made more important because there is no one on the horizon who can take their place. I see our generation as more inter­ ested in entertainment and glamour than in serious thought. The idea of the serious writer as a major force in our lives is a concept that is no longer important in our society. The ques­ tion now is who will be the next celebrity telling us they are going to Disneyworld. Since we get all our ideas and heroes from films, entertain­ ment and the media, it is an easy guess to pre­ dict an increasing trivialization and commercial­ ization of our lives. For now we are stuck with witless news anchors, talk show hosts, and sound bites. History proves everything in the world—economics, social thought, politics, world view—goes in cycles eventually we will return to a point where the genius, wisdom and humanity of Ginsberg, Sagan and Cousteau will be appreciated. Who will speak for us? In the meantime, I recommend this sam­ pling of their writing.

The rate is set in accordance with the Illinois Compiled Statutes which requires the library to charge a fee for a non-resident card that is equivalent to the aver­ age cost a Deerfield resident pays in taxes to support the library. • If you wish to suggest that the library purchase a book, we will take “consider for purchase” requests and try to honor your wishes if it is appropriate to the collection and fits into our budget. • For those who have trouble reading our computer catalog screen we have a computer next to our Reference Desk which has Large Print letters on the screen. • Ask at the Reference Desk for the new booklist describing invest­ ment reference sources about stocks, bonds, mutual funds and insurance. New circulating books are also listed at the back of the bibliography and cover such topics as estate and retirement plan­ ning, general financial planning and investments.

A 1914 AAA tour guide told how to drive to Deerfield so you could lunch at Deerspring Farm. Cross country events and racing advanced technology and cars grew into reliable transportation. Roads lagged behind, but by the twen­ ties and thirties the Lincoln Highway and Route 66 spanned the nation. Eisenhower’s national defense high­ ways finally tied the country together and were the catalyst for growth of au­ tomobile travel as we know it today. These highways are probably the most influential agents of social change that this country has ever seen.They allowed for, encouraged, and fostered the growth of the suburbs; changed the way we relate to one another, changed where and how we could work, whom we would marry, where we would shop,where our children would be educated, where and how we vacation , how we live. As the use of cars expanded, re-ex­ panded, and became the most common form of daily transportation it was only a short time before they became the stan­ dard way to get to work, and the daily commute became a part of everyone's life. In the suburbs the station wagon-now vans and sport utilities-became Mom’s rite of passage. The use of cars brought with it the necessary rules and regulations to make their operation safe and effec­ tive. Unregulated roads were chaos:rules brought order, discipline and safety. Safety. That is the word behind ev­ ery single traffic rule that exists. Disobey the rules, and crash into another car. Run a stop light, and run down another human being. Speed, and kill the child as she runs for her puppy. It was really just common sense, over time, that led to all the traffic laws and regulations that govern us today. What I see on my daily one mile trek to the Library disavows all of this. What I see is a growing chaos; a daily reduction in safety, civility, and courtesy. Safety: safety is the biggest loss. I don’t want to hear that this is a police problem. Our police do a fine job, this is a social/behavioral breakdown of large proportions. Daily, I am treated to a Mom in a mastodon sport utility running a stop sign, not even really slowing down. Just check for a police car, and gun it through the intersection. I see a Dad on his way to the train failing to yield-right-of-way to school children walking to their bus stop. Cars of every variety speed through my residential neighborhood as if they were competing in the Indy 500. I see almost everyone turning without using their turn signals-both an element of safety and courtesy. I see the same cars park in our handicapped and no parking zones as the drivers run to do their errands-thumbing their noses at the purpose of those special zones. As they leave, they back into parked cars, eyeball the crumpled fender and drive off. This transcends rudeness into crimi­ nality. It accelerates on the expressway. Of course, you see all the failures above, only at higher speeds; no turn lights, fail­ ure to yield right-of- way, and speeding. Worse, you see tailgating, weaving in the lanes, passing when inappropriate, driving on the shoulder to get ahead of a line of backed up traffic. You see ag­ gression, hostility and anger.

Some of the behavior seems to be related to the size and power of today’s sport utility mastodons, some of it to an inner rage that is almost sociopathic. Not being a car designer, or a psychiatrist, I don’t have an answer to either of these problems. Personally, I believe this behav­ ior to be related to modern society’s ano­ nymity and social disconnectedness, but it is mainly just selfish rudeness. What we are losing is a sense of safety, because we are absolutely see­ ing unsafe driving, plus a loss of civility, and courtesy. Decency behind the wheel seems to have evaporated. I guess I would ask myself how I would like to run down and kill a small child while speed­ ing, cripple or maim an elderly driver through aggressive tailgating, or ruin a young person’s future before he or she even get their life started. I think we should start looking to ourselves if we want these antisocial behaviors to stop. If we don’t take responsibility, I can’t imagine how bad driving conditions will be in ten years. The book I am -recom­ mending this month, before it is too late for you, is Illinois Rules of the Road. Al­ ways a good read, drop by and read one at the Library. Or, ignore the book and get exposed to it in mandatory traffic safety classes after you get your big ticket. Orville Freeman, former Governor of Minnesota, had a great phrase about driving--”lt’s not a right, it is a privilege”. And there aren’t any excuses.

Judy Haddad has left her position as Director of Youth Services to pursue other interests. She enjoyed getting to know members of the Deerfield community and will think fondly of her time at Deerfield. Special Services /fr The Youth Services Department not only offers pre-school storytimes, /X but also invites preschool classes for department tours. A librarian will read a \ story, give a tour, or help children learn where to find books they might like. We also will visit preschools to tell stories or promote library programs. As they get older, children take class trips to the library to learn the library's computers, find magazine articles on-line, or find science fair information. Often books on specific school projects, such as Native American Indians, are set aside for use in the library. Visits to schools help us promote our books or reading programs. Tours for scout troops often are held after school. We can offer materials, demonstrations of microfilm machines or computers to fit your needs. As part of our mission to support the community’s lifelong learning goals, we treasure our relationship with the schools and local groups. �Ceases! um l*«ss|»<gs>rfr Library cards expire every 3 years for resi­ dents of incorporated Deerfield. To update your card, you must show some form of i.d. You keep the same card and we update it on the computer for you. If the card is worn, we can replace it. If you cannot find your card at check­ out time, we can check you out with a valid i.d. and a 25 cent fee, or we can hold the item (non video) for a few days until you return with your library card. Asking for identification in both of the above cases is done for your own safety. You must register for your own library card, not someone elses. The only exception is a juvenile (under 18) whose parent must register or update, showing i.d., for them. We punch a hole on juvenile library cards to show that the holder is under 18 years and cannot rent videos. Treat your library card as you would a passport! If you are a Deerfield resident and tempo­ rarily or permanently unable to come to the library because of illness, injury or disabil­ ity, we can deliver mate­ rials to your home. Sim- ^ ply call the library and ask for Karen Kleckner. She, or her staff, will contact you to find out what materials you want and select materials or locate specific requests. Patrons may request any 3-week loan library materials.

Join us for kickoff speaker tv personality Deerfield’s own Joel Weisman at 7 pm on September 9 (reservations required). Our fall celebration series includes prizes, refresh­ ments, music, a surprise “movie star” guest and entertaining programs. See page two for star studded program details. Tell us your top five favorite movies and you’ll have a chance to win free movie passes and free library (new) rental videos. Focus on Youth Services Department Now that the finishing touches are being put on the main floor renovation, architect Scott Javore, the board and the staff are setting sights on renovation of the Youth Services Department. Newly appointed department head Chris Kopeck said, “I am very excited about the upcoming renovation. We are planning to keep the department child friendly, but also make it more inviting for young adult patrons. We plan to separate the young adult fiction and will be adding a study carrel and window seats. We will be increasing shelf space in both the picture book room and the juvenile area. New carpeting and bright colors will highlight the room. We will also be doubling the number of display cases. The department will remain open during renovation, offering the same quality service, and we want to thank patrons in advance for their patience.” Chris Kopeck was selected from among several candidates for the position of Head of the Youth Services Department.
