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.

What drives a politician to risk the ruin of his family, his marriage, his children for the sake of ambition? ^ November 14 Montana 1948 by Larry Watson. The events of a small town summer in 1948 forever alter 12 year old David Haydens view of his family. �Librarian's DesH continued it must to cope with the nature of a dynamic society—dead languages reflect dead cultures. 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?

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!

Res­ ervations are required. We will call to remind you of your class as we expect to have waiting lists. 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.

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. She holds her Master’s Degree in Library Science from University of Illinois and worked in a public library in Orlando, Florida prior to being hired as a children’s librarian in Deerfield a year ago. “Over the past year, the community has made me feel wel­ come” she said, “and I look forward to serving them in this new capacity. If you have comments or suggestions about improving service, please talk to me or put a note in the suggestion box at the front desk.” Librarian in the Lobby 9 - noon, 2nd Saturdays, September 12, October 10, November 14.

Many of our adult programs this fall are “partnering” and highlighting Deerfield businesses, organiza­ tions and individuals who make our community richer. | fjjpSG f8«lbi Yvonne Sharpe, library board member since 1992, will be retir­ ing from her board position because she will no longer be a Deerfield resident. Board presi­ dent Sue Benn said, “She has been a loyal and active member for many years and will be sorely missed” Mrs. Sharpe chaired the library’s building committee for all the years of library renova­ tion. She came on the board to fill the unexpired term of Wilbur Page and thereafter was elected and re-elected. Sharpe’s unex­ pired term can be filled by board appointment until the 2001 vil­ lage election. Anyone interested in this temporary vacancy may contact the library business office. 1 To provide faster, better and more contemporary computer services, the library will be leaving the computer consortium of Morton Grove, Skokie and Waukegan. This change presents new challenges but more importantly will free Deerfield of the restrictions and impediments of the consortium. This will allow us to present more up-to-date computer services and access at higher speeds. It should permit wider access to books and materi­ als. Specifically, the library will offer more web-based products, easier home and remote access, better catalog access and faster and cleaner telecommunications. There will be more service outlets and more terminals offering modem services at high speed. We are in the process of signing a contract with epixtech, a Provo, Utah based firm, for the next computer system which should be operational before May, 2001. This system will supply all the familiar, easy-to-use services such as catalog searching, telephone renewal, check out and circulation functions well known to our clients, and supply a home page with links to appropriate library sites, full text magazine indexes and remote access to library resources. This system will be funded through the use of Tax Increment Financing and will not require a tax increase or bond issue. Administrative Librarian Jack Hicks said, “We have listened to our residents’ sugges­ tions and feel sure the new system will meet their needs and expectations whether they are in the library or gaining access from home.” Library board president Sue Benn feels “The public will be pleased with the high speed computers and new services; this is a real step forward in providing information and web access for the community.” □ “The Rat Pack” was among hundreds of photos taken by Deerfield’s Art Shay.

November 21 Women with Men: Three Stories by Richard Ford. The men and women in these stories examine their failed relationships. �Across the Librarian’s Desk I once saw a cartoon of a nuclear physicist telling a classical musician that he only liked 18th cen­ tury music. The response from the peeved musician was, “...that’s great, I only like 18th century science.” Listening recently to a golden oldies radio station I was struck by the idea that maybe popular culture is not shaped by the best a society offers but what is "remembered”— or imagined — as the best. Is this to make us comfortable with events that might have been painful? Maybe pop culture can’t stand critical scrutiny. The talky disk jockey kept up a constant patter about the songs he was playing; recounting minutiae from the rock stars’ lives, incidentals about the recording sessions, and the marvelous night he had actually met the stars in question. The guy went on and on, yakking and playing the music he claimed defined a generation. The only problem was my wife and 1 are members of that generation and that was not the music we listened to at all; in fact most of his songs were nerd anthems, or worse, just plain banal junk. Which raises the question: do we invent our past in our own image and likeness or is it just nostalgic mythmaking? Does this shield us from a harsher reality? Some of the problems are that the disk jockeys aren’t old enough to have experienced these events, or are too addled to remember them clearly. What sells and what is accepted and extolled today becomes yesterday’s top hits. This doesn’t apply to rock and roll only, but to the big band era as well—and I suspect all eras—equally. A look at any Variety Top 40 songs often reveals the oldies that are so popular today—and are supposedly reflective of the times—were not at the top of the charts, or even mainstream, at the time. The people who trade and revel in nostalgia are more affected by time and society’s bias than they are by the absolute accuracy of the memories or the quality of the product, (except in the case of Jack Benny) Recent movie lists that purport to define the “best ever” movies have been so far off the mark as to be laughable. I think any compiled list of “best” movies should only be made by people over fifty-five years old, who have actually seen the full movie in a theatre where they paid full price to see the film. Any film seen in a film class or at a film society should be instantly disqualified because this all adds up to revisionist history at its worst: pop culture peddled by pasty faced, soft handed, trendy types. These are the same people who define Stravinsky and Bartok as “modem” music even though their works are a hundred years old. Is classical music suspect as well? Is that why snobby aficionados walk out or snub modem composers? Could be. Now we all know about revisionist history, how an event will change with the telling over time, until a breakthrough historian will produce a thesis that is a direct contradiction to historical fact and reality that somehow comes to be accepted as insight. Revisionist history ought to have anoth­ er name: bad history. A recent and widespread spate of revisionist history has poured forth regard­ ing the World War II generation—even to the point of being called “...the greatest generation” by gushy writers like Tom Brokaw and Stephen Ambrose. We owe those boys a lot, but let’s not puff up reality; the vets from WWII deserve better than that—they deserve the truth, our eternal grati­ tude, and a monument in Washington, D.C. I have always wondered how that generation would have reacted to the divisive, emotionally charged, and morally ambivalent times of Viet Nam. Sometimes it is easier to do the right thing when the choices are clear cut, or in fact there are no choices. A casual glance at the Viet Nam era discloses at least a half a dozen myths or outright untruths that have grown up and thrived, perpe­ trated by well meaning revisionists, which have entered our collective conscience as reality. Which leads me back to a lighter vein, that gabby disk jockey with his comball alternative reality. We don’t need to invent an idyllic past or create fake, artificial heroes; we have them today because today are the good old days and they are good enough.

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

It was located inside the Deerfield Grammar School • •;* •••' V . 9\*rr > v 1 to the west of the current Deerfield School i Administration Building and H Deerfield Historic Village. The Grammar School has since been tom down. Muriel Zahnle, then h •1 . •* ! “You have to understand I was looking at it from a little girl perspective. We entered from the outside of the building, through the white double doors. I could smell the new varnish and marveled at the new shiny unmarked maple floors. The windows were bright, with no coverings. The wood was light, but there was no front desk like our library today. The librari­ an Mrs. Wolff sat at a yellowish teacher’s desk. She stacked the books on her desk as they were returned. We had cards to sign books in and out, and Mrs. Wolff had a stamper. My favorite books were the Bobbsey twins and all those other twins books, the Eskimo twins, the Japanese twins, etc. The books in those days were bound in one color: red, blue, etc. and had few illustrations. The library was only in one room.” “There was no furniture to sit on like we have today, and the hours were 2-5 p.m. a few days a week as I recall. Mrs. Wolf (the librarian) was always available and remembered your name. She was a small, gentle person with large glasses who serviced her readers, always finding the right book for the right person. It was friendly because she made it friendly. She had a card catalog but the budget must have been limited because she always welcomed donations. I enjoyed her. Her assistant was a young, slim Mrs. Dobbins.” “I had never been in a library before. On a summer’s day my girlfriends and I would walk across Waukegan Road (from Osterman where Muriel lived), past the Standard Oil filling station. We often stopped at Herman’s ice cream parlor. (Deerfield Commons was a field.) We had room to roam and could go safely. The library took care of activity during the long summer; we had lots of time to browse. You could take books out for several weeks but you couldn’t call the auto­ matic renewal number from home like you can now! The library was too small to be a social center as it is now; instead, Deerfield was a small church community. It is such a different town for me now.” Muriel continued her visits to the library’s next home at the 758 Waukegan Rd., a converted storefront, and then to the third site which is now the West Deerfield Township “Mrs. Wolf (the Building. Despite living a short time in Michigan, she librarian) was and her husband Tom always available returned to Deerfield and raised four children using and remembered the library throughout the years for resources ranging your name.” from home repair to chil­ dren’s term papers. Of course she recalls when the library moved to its present loca­ tion in 1971; she worked on the referendum that built this library. “We love reading around the fireplace now.” A life­ time library user, Muriel enjoys biography, drama, and cookbooks. She espe­ cially appreciated the talking books when she had problems with her eyesight. As Muriel has been a library user for 75 years, Jack Hicks, Administrative Librarian, said simply, “Muriel, you are a library success story!” Muriel Zahnle, now �Book Discussions in the Fiction Room Youth Services Morning Discussions, 10:30 a.m. Circus Day! ■ Thursday, September 12 Seabiscuit, An American Legend by Laura Hiilenbrand.

The Library’s Punch and Judy Players will celebrate their 30th birthday with a performance of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic —Treasure Island - an exciting tale of pirates Saturday, November 8 at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. (space limited, register early!) For all ages! The Library’s puppet theater was built in 1973 by Administrative Librarian Jack Hicks and was intended to last no longer than two or three years. That first year the theater was featured as the Library’s float in the Fourth of July Family Days Parade and was the focus of a summer long puppet workshop for sixth graders in the Youth Services Department. What grew out of a $400 gift from the Deerfield Newcomers Club in 1973 has 'M .1 now lasted 30 years and entertained thousands of children and their parents. Thanks r t v Newcomers. That first year saw the beginning of a repertoire puppet company—The Punch and Judy Players—which over the years has staged hundreds of performances. The plays remain the old standards—Sleeping Beauty, Treasure Island, Rumplestiltskin, Puss in Boots, Beauty and the Beast, St. George and the Dragon, Pecos Bill, Frog and Toad, Anansi the Spider, Three Billy Goats Gruff, as well as some written by Library staff—Dinosaurs in Deerfield and Masters of the Hidden Planet. The Punch and Judy Players themselves come from all the Departments in the Library— Jack Hicks and Sally Brickman, fy? Administration; Chris Kopeck and Cindy Schilling from Youth Services; Judy Hortin from Reference Services; Sidney Barnes, Circulation; and many others over the past 30 years. Our puppets were all designed and hand sewn by our Staff Artist, Betty Reschke. One of our greatest rewards comes when young parents relate to us that they saw a perfor­ mance at the Library when they were young and they have now brought their children to see Punch and Judy. Some people have asked why we still do puppet plays in the age of video and computer games. Simply because puppets are a counterpoint to Hollywood and TV. You do not need computers, play stations, Dolby, Panavision, Rambo, Power Rangers or Bat Man to entertain children and they get a full and steady dose of that kind of electronic entertainment elsewhere. We are convinced that puppetry reflects literature, encourages children to read, and makes the books they have read come alive to them. The puppets are in a child’s scale, they are a live performance, they stimulate imagination, and they are not seen elsewhere with any regularity. So, we invite one and all to celebrate 30 years with us as we perform an old favorite—Treasure Island. �Adult Programs Programs are free but reservations are requested.

The POL’s random telephone survey of 1,003 library users found that the library is serv­ ing the community well, with a great deal of satisfaction regarding current hours of operation and high positive ratings. “86% of library users rate Deerfield Library as “excellent, or very good”. Highest ratings went to a “helpful/knowledgeable staff’. A very large 85% of respondents were library cardholders and 73% of respondents had visited the library in the past 12 months. How do people use the library? Five main reasons include: recreational fiction and non­ fiction reading, borrowing videos, utilizing materials and programs, and using the library reference materials. The survey also showed that the majority of residents, regardless of length of residency in the community, responded favorably to expansion and most preferred expansion at the present location. A space needs study last spring by Anders Dahlgren of Library Planning Associates found that the library (currently at 31,162 square feet and fully used), should be 38,600 to 54,000 square feet just to meet the current needs to accom­ modate a growing print and non print collection as well as to meet the needs for reader seats, offices, library programs and story time rooms. Unfortunately vertical expansion in the present location is complicated and difficult as the building’s roof is not stressed for the load. During the summer the POL conducted twelve focus groups for staff, village officials, kids, parents, seniors, non users, younger childless residents and Riverwoods/ Bannockburn residents. All of the information culled from the survey and focus groups will become part of a long range plan to be developed by the library board. A long range planning committee of the board has already devoted many hours to preparing a documented plan/vision for the library which will best serve its thousands of users. The survey showed that patrons see the library’s role as a cultural and intellectual community center of the village with something to offer everyone; this will be taken into consideration in future planning. Reference copies of the completed space needs and community survey reports are avail­ able to the public at the Library’s Reference Desk. This online subscription database is avail­ able to all, free of charge, on computers in the Deerfield Library’s Reference Department. It is also accessible to Deerfield Library cardholders at home or work via the library’s website, www.deerfieldlibrary.org (Then click Online Databases, then Infotrac and be ready to enter your Deerfield library card number when asked). A useful tool for investors, business people, consumers and students, the Business & Company Resource Center database includes: magazine, journal, & newspaper articles (many full-text); indus­ try overviews & rankings; and a broad range of company information including financials & reports. In addition to the many periodicals indexed in full- text arti­ cles, other database sources include: American Wholesalers and Distributors Directory, Brands and Their Companies, Business Rankings Annual, Encyclopedia of Associations and more. For additional information and assistance please contact a reference librarian. Library Board Deerfield resident and former library board member Ken Abosch has been appointed a special advisor to the Board. When on the board he was closely involved with the Long Range Planning Process; in this new capac­ ity he will work with the Board and the Long Range Planning Committee until June, 2004. Correction!

Administrative Librarian Jack Hicks and Architect Frank Gehry talk about the future of the Dee}field Library at Gehry's California headquarters. Summer, 2003 Public Opinion Laboratory of Northern Illinois performs survey which indicates that residents want 1. the Library to stay in present quadrant; 2. convenience: drive-up access, lower shelves, wider aisles; 3. an enlarged and diversified Youth Services Department; and 4. increased access to technology and the Internet. Winter, 2004 Library Planning Consultant Anders Dahlgren completes two studies, which determine 1. we need a building 50% larger than our current one just to efficiently house current holdings and services. (Current library, built in 1969, housed 61,500 items; same space now hous­ es 180,000 items.); 2. future space needs will require an 86,000-squarefoot building. Fall, 2003 Public Opinion Laboratory conducts 12 focus groups to gauge and confirm resident needs. Winter, 2004 Library newsletter informs the community of the planning process and the Library’s vision. May, 2004 Structural analysis of current building and feasibility study determine that enlarging present building is almost impossible, very costly and would not solve present space problems. July, 2004 Administrative Librarian Jack Hicks informs the board that the Library’s present infrastruc­ ture will soon require $2 million of repair. August, 2004 Executive Service Corps coor­ dinates all findings of the past few years into a complete report: The Library’s Strategic Long Range Plan.

Raises Money for Library Deerfield’s energetic Sue Vani, mother of two young children and Lincolnshire first grade teacher, decided that young children need­ ed to learn about philanthropy and that even pre-schoolers needed to find a way to give back to their community. She came up with the idea of K.LD.D.O.S. (Kids in Deerfield Doing Outstanding Service). Their first annual event was a very successful talent, fashion and art show July 21 at Deerfield’s First Presbyterian Church. Highlights included an Elvis impersonator (Kevin Mell, age 8) and hula dancers (Molly and Caroline Nakahara, ages 7 and 3). Kevin Quigley of Cherry Pit fame volunteered to emcee, and all proceeds from the show (which also included a raffle, artwork and crafts) were donated for toys for the library’s Youth Services Department. Vani said about $1000 was raised and already used to pay for a new train set, dollhouse, puppets, puzzles and more. Library Board News At the spring library board of directors meeting, the officers were re-elected to their posts for another year. They are President, David Wolff; Secretary, Ron Simon and Treasurer, Jeff Rivlin. Other board members include Ken Abosch, Jeff Blumenthal, Sheryl Lamoureux and Sunday Mueller. Their phone numbers and e- mail addresses appear on page four, should you wish to contact any of them. Each month the trustees are holding “Librarian in the Lobby” to discuss library issues informally with the public. Open library board meetings are held at 8 p.m. the third Wednesday of each month. THE MISSION OF THE DEERFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY is to provide our community with open access to the world of information and ideas, encouraging lifelong learning and personal growth in a welcoming environment. Vani’s friends Danielle Pedderson and Marla Callistein helped Vani organize the very successful event. Their goal this year was to attract children to the library and provide activity for their younger siblings that would lead to a pleasant library experience. The library staff is most grateful to Sue, her adult helpers and the children who made it possible. 2005 Summer Reading Programs Best Year Ever! “Super Stories: Award Winning Reads” Adult Summer Reading Program boasted a record sign-up of 180, with over 70 completing their cards.
