O National Library Week Specials o Three Day Video Loans In response to patrons’ requests, we have extended the loan period for videos from two days to three. Rental fees for videos marked “NEW” remain $1 per video. All older videos may be borrowed free of charge to Deerfield cardholders. You may take out six videos at a time, and many patrons do! The library has several ways of responding to patrons’ requests. One is Librarian in the Lobby. Every month on the second Saturday, a member of the Deerfield Library Board joins Library Administrator Jack Hicks in the library' lobby. This spring, Librarian in the Lobby will be from 9 a.m. to noon, Saturdays, March 13, April 10 and May 8. This is a fine opportunity to meet library administrators and share library con­ cerns. We find that most of the com­ ments are positive and many are very helpful. This is our own brand of market research and we do listen and respond to you! We also have a suggestion box at the front desk and often implement help­ ful patron suggestions. If you think the library should purchase a book or recording, we have a green “consider for purchase” form you can fill out in any department. If our librarians who select the materials feel that it will be a good library purchase, we will try to buy your requested item and noti­ fy you when it comes in. We are happy to hear from you!!!

There will be much activity in the Youth Services Department this summer. The summer read­ ing club, Time Trek Readers and numerous activities (see page three) will be humming along during major department renovation. At least one portion of the area will be kept open to patrons at all times and, when necessary, programs will be held in the upstairs meeting room. Donald F. Wrobleski of DF Wrobleski Architects will be principal architect for the renovation. Wrobleski was architect of the remodeled Fiction Room, and he will be extending the 20th century modernist classic design and palette of light and materials of the Fiction Room into the Youth Services area while specifics will be different. New carpet and furniture, more win­ dows and angled (faux) sky­ light should brighten the room without structural work. Stack space for books will increase by 1/3. “The idea is to make it more comfortable, efficient and organized” said Wrobleski. The project should be completed by fall.

Library News North Suburban Library System (NSLS) Director Sarah Long, Riverwoods attorney Bruce Huvard, Deerfield Administrative Librarian Jack Hicks, NSLS president Robert B. Lyons. At the North Suburban Library System Annual Banquet, Library Advocate Awards were presented to Jack Hicks, Bruce Huvard and William Seiden (Library Board Treasurer) for establishing a private library corporation in Riverwoods, giving residents with no library service the opportunity to obtain access to full library services at the Deerfield Public Library. �Across the Librarian’s Desk I n 1968 a friend of mine, Rowland Higgins, who now teaches mathe­ matics at Cambridge, England, wrote a letter to the London Times suggesting that all Olympic competitors—from all nations—march and compete in identical white uniforms. This view was not dri­ ven by post-modern nostalgia but by a genuine fear that amateur sport was becoming far too politicized and profes­ sional. The letter was printed in the crank file. How prescient Rowland was. The Olympics truly did descend to perilous political depths as Iron Curtain countries and western democracies struggled with each other for political dominance. The result was every imaginable attempt to subvert the spirit of the Olympic Creed and the rules of fair competition as state run machines immersed themselves in blood doping, drugs, surgeries, gender ambivalence, ruthless competition, bro­ ken lives- making the Olympics a sham. The end of the Cold War did not end the abuses, merely transferred them to the commercial arena. The day 30 year old, hardened, professional basketball players suited up as the “dream team” was a low spot for amateur athletics. The charm, naivete, innocence and the purity of ama­ teur youth was replaced with professional greed—and not just on the part of the athletes. The warning signs were there but we chose to ignore them in our lust for gold medals. What a descent from 1936 when Eleanor Holm Janett was dis­ missed from the Olympic swimming team for drinking champagne on the boat to Europe. Perhaps there is no value in innocence, amateurism, or honesty any longer. Corporate giants around the world turned the Olympics into a bottom feeder’s food frenzy. Logos, sponsorship, glamour and hype attached themselves permanently to the Olympics at America’s 1984 Los Angeles gala and provided a fatal poison. continued on back page Adult Programs Programs arefree but reservations are requested Beethoven at Ravinia Wednesday, June 23, 7 p.m. Dr. Brennetta Simpson, 4^ Assistant Dean & Director of l Undergraduate ^ Studies at / Northwestern University School of Music discusses Beethoven.

In the April 13 Deerfield consolidated election, three Deerfield Library board members were each elected to six year terms. John Anderson and Yvonne Sharpe were re-elected to the Board and Sunday G. Mueller won the third open position. Mr. Anderson has been an active library board member for 22 years; Mrs. Sharpe, for seven years. Mrs. Mueller, mother of four, is an avid library user who is active in the schools and American Association of University Women. Across the Librarian’s Desk continuedfrom page 2 Many of these sports companies exploit vir­ tual slave labor in Third World countries; since that is unpalatable we avert our gaze. Instead of a once-in-a-lifetime experience for wide-eyed young athletes, jaded profes­ sionals now make a living out of being full­ time Olympians, appearing at Olympics after Olympics until they are too creaky to make a go of it, effectively denying youth and innocence a chance. The other extreme is twelve year old gymnasts with severe overuse injuries, and anorexia, from too many hours on the bars. Shame, shame, on all of us. Sunday/Holiday Closings Closed: Sundays beginning June 13 through September 5. On Sunday, July 4 we will be serving lemonade for Family Days.

We all know the benefits of a burgeoning economy, but—and this is a big but—there are places where greed, money, bribes and corruption do not belong. They do not belong in any way, shape, or form with the Olympics. Coiporate power has no place in amateur competition. Proof of this point is the irony that the last great moment in sports for the U.S.A. was the completely amateur team that won the Editor: Sally Seifert The disgrace now brought to the Olympics by the Salt Lake City bribery scandals reveals a worldwide free-fall from ethics and standards. It seems now, in the aftermath, that everyone involved either takes bribes, pays bribes, looks the other way, or just doesn’t care. Bribery and corruption are, of course, a way of life in all too many coun­ tries. The whole point of the Olympics was designed to prove that honest, fair, competi­ tion in sport, could be a starting point for honest, fair dealings between nations. What the Olympics has become is a mirror of our­ selves, nationalistic, grasping, greedy—a charade, not a pretty picture. Perhaps the Olympic motto of Higher, Faster, Farther should be replaced with “just get it.” Is it too late to try Rowland’s idea of white suits? Jack Alan Hicks Administrative Librarian You Deserve the Best, and so do all our other borrowers: Would you believe? We send out $100 in postage weekly for overdue notices (it used to be $15 a week). Damaged library materials number into the thousands per year. Water damaged books start a major deterioration process. When cassettes are left in the sun in a hot car, tapes melt. A dog chewed comer shortens the life of a book as pages break down. Sometimes we get books that have taken a bath along with their borrowers...not good!

Those words have a special resonance for me. This month marks the end of almost eight years of remodeling and renovating the library. The intimacy I have had with this building in those years has indeed shaped me. I would like to think the building is now in as good a shape as it was when I first came to work here twentyeight years ago. All departments have been renovated, the ADA code has been addressed, a new elevator has been added, and new boiler system has been installed. On December 12, we will rededi­ cate our refurbished Youth Services room, named in memory of Dr. Diego Redondo. In many ways the past few years have been like playing an extended game of Snakes and Ladders or an object lesson in the herding of cats. Anyone who has ever supervised a home remodel­ ing project will understand exact­ ly what I mean. I am now on a first name basis with electricians, plumbers, painters, carpenters, continued on back page Year of Renewal This is Deerfield Library’s official theme for the year 2000.

It has been my privilege to work with four gifted and talented architects: Cecil Gobeaux, Don Wrobleski, Karl Sugihara and Scott Javore. A special thanks to interior designer Juele Blankenburg. It has been an interesting odyssey. The library staff and Board could not have been more helpful or supportive. The foresight of Mayor Forrest and the Village Trustees made all of our renovations possible. These projects were carried out with the use of Tax Increment Financing and did not cost the taxpayer any money. The library incurred no debt—and no new taxes. Two remarks stand out in my memory that shaped the mind-set of the entire project. They stand out because of their easy wisdom. The first was from our former Board President, Tom Parfitt, when our ADA building audit had been done by O’Donnell, Wickland, Pigozzi and Peterson. We needed to change and alter many things in our building to be ADA compliant; frankly this would cost a lot of money and dis­ turbed everyone on the board. We named our Fiction Room for Tom because of what he said that night, “This is not a set back, this is an opportunity.” The second came when we were in the design throes of the lobby renovation and the architect was describing how a double-hung door (which we now have) fully complied with ADA because of the low pressure needed to open it. Yvonne Sharpe got right to the point by asking. “What if the patron doesn’t have any hands?” So we added an automatic door, too. I believe those two insights defined everything we 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 Sunday Mueller Yvonne Sharpe Library Hours Mon.-Thurs: 9:00 am - 9:00 pm 9:00 am - 6:00 pm Friday: 9:00 am - 5:00 pm Saturday: 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm Sunday: Editor: Sally Seifert have done in the past eight years. Do the thing right, in spirit as well as statute. Not the cheap­ est, not the most expensive, we chose the right way throughout the whole project. Bill Seiden always kids me about the six Family Day Parade 1st prizes I have in my office. I am proud of them because they make it clear how this library relates to and reflects the community and residents. This library is part of the community. We help kids learn to read, do story hours, provide fiction books, answer refer­ ence questions, teach research skills, help plan science fair experiments, teach the Internet and do puppet shows. We supply all our Deerfield residents with their reading needs and informa­ tion needs and provide lifetime learning. So, as Winston Churchill said, we shape our buildings and thereafter they shape us. The bricks and mortar period is over. Now the hard part begins—planning for the future. The Board and staff will not waver from that responsibility. It will take hard work and courage to develop a vision for the future. Technology, remote access, fiber optic networks, distance learning, and computers will shape our future. To have a vision and plan in place will take study. The revitalized Youth Services Department reflects our commitment to the young people of Deerfield—our future—and the room makes some promises. It promises chal­ lenge and reward, service and wisdom, comfort and warmth. Most of all, I pledge that it promis­ es an entrance to the future for all our children. *3 — Wck Alan Hicks Administrative Librarian Non Profit Org.

The issue is a lot more involved than the wrong animal in the wrong place at the wrong time, or the sanctity of the life of a single deer; it reaches into the deepest recesses of our ecological system and our con­ science. The problem is more complicated than either side of the protagonists seem to grasp or admit. The shooters’ solution is both cruel and simplistic because it does nothing to permanently change the ecosystem—the deer will simply return. The anthropo­ morphism of these deer is proba­ bly an even greater sin because these animals are not little people running around in furs and they deserve an environmentally sounder and a much more digni­ fied defense. I understand and sympathize with both sides of the quandary. Everyone agrees that this is one of the most beautiful animals on earth; but it is felt to be a menace to safety, health and gardens by one faction and the living incar­ nation of wild nature by the continued on back page YEAR OF RENEWAL FUN! d Library Week, Open Mouse 2-4 pm, Sunday, April 9.

As a person who has been treated for Lyme disease, I get a bit fearful because the disease con­ cern is seldom even mentioned. What absolutely stuns me is the level of emotional froth both sides can chum up when there is a far greater travesty right in the middle of the controversy; in fact, a river runs through it. The Des Plaines River. If you don’t know the Des Plaines, a one day paddle by canoe from north of Libeityville to Deerfield Road will delight and amaze you; or try any of the extensive trails. One hundred years ago a kid could swim and fish in that river. It was a pristine, crystal clear stream; home to beaver, otter, mink, pike. Eels, who were born in the Sargasso Sea, migrated there to spend their summers. Deer, bear, cari­ bou, elk, badgers, wolverines and most likely buffalo once roamed its shores. Many older Deerfield residents still reminisce about the old Des Plaines swimming hole. It is a river of sub­ lime physical beauty—lyrical really—reduced in stature by the level of junk we allow to be pumped, dumped, or drained into it. Starting in our backyards it flows all the way to the Gulf of Mexico trailing our debris. The river is now home only to the bottom feeding, lowly and shunned, carp. If we are concerned about the deer, we should be mortified by the water quali­ ty of this beautiful river. I know that everything pumped, dumped, or oozed into the river meets or exceeds all the EPA standards; but the cumulative effect is something of which we should all be ashamed. I would suggest that in the first decade of the 21st century there is absolutely no reason or excuse to put anything into our rivers and streams. We must do better. Fifty years since the publication of Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring we seem to have changed little and learned less—showing the same passion for the life of this river as we show for the life of one deer would be a starting point. Surely the river deserves life as much as any single creature—more, because it touches upon thousands and thousands of lives. Ryerson Nature Preserve is one of this region’s most wonderful treasures, well main­ tained, scenic, a step back into another era. A perfect counterpoint for me to the digital age. To walk on Ryerson’s paths is a privilege I recom­ mend to everyone. But I always come back to the river. Sitting by the little falls at the dam in a drifting snowstorm transports you to silent forests and distant vistas. The pungent odor of chemicals always spoils my reverie and brings me back to reality. Is this the legacy we leave our children? In the optimism of the new millen­ nium and the digital age can’t we find a solution to clean water so that voyageurs of a future age can share the experiences with the voyageurs of the past? I challenge any doubter to take my infallible Des Plaines River test. Go to the dam in Ryerson, fill a 12 ounce glass with the water spilling over the edge and drink it. If you can’t do it, tell me why. The book I am recommending this month is Annie Proulx’s Close Range about life on the harsh plains of Wyoming.

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!
