We will do this symbolically on the first day of National Library Week. We will have bands and ice cream and music, but the real celebration will be the recognition of the people who have made us the exemplary library we are today. I know there are a lot of people to thank. We know many of the people we want to thank during the recognition part of our celebration: Bob York, Tom Parfitt, Mary Mazur, Pat Horne and Keith Nickoley, are the easy names. What we really need help with is all the names of all the people who helped pass out handbills, held coffee hours, spoke at schools — those who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to pass the numerous referendums, bond issues, special legislation and court challenges that built this Library. It is often forgotten that this Li­ brary has had a long and colorful his­ tory full of wonderful personalities and issues. We have seen numerous tax fights, boundary squabbles, cen­ sorship battles, "Save Our Library " campaigns, along with agitated re­ former candidates. The present build­ ing and the services we offer did not just happen — they were the result of long, hard work by many concerned and visionary residents. The Library has withstood the test of time. If you know the names of those who made this Library possible, please take the time to write them down and let me know what they did — large and small — because every­ one is important.

The Library is 65 years old and they made it happen. We owe a debt of gratitude to those head Librarians who founded, nur­ tured, and developed the Deerfield Public Library. Starting in 1927 and progressing to today there have been: Mrs. Frank Russo, Mrs. Chester Wolf — for over 25 years, Mrs. Helen Haney, and the builder of this Library, Mrs. Suzanne Whetstone. They estab­ lished a Library that serves the com­ munity well and is a source of great pride. We also want to take time to ac­ knowledge the lasting contribution made to this community by a single individual. The Library will name its Young People's Department in honor of Dr. Diego Redondo. Since Dr. Re­ dondo touched and enriched the lives of so many of us — especially our children — it is fitting to create a per­ manent memorial for him. We will dedicate the Department in his honor during our Birthday celebration. Please let me know those names, and please come to our Party. You'll come for the nostalgia, but stay for the fun.

He was sure that my oldest brother, fighting far away in Korea, would be home soon and wanted the tree there to greet him. That tree stayed up until June of 1953. There were so many expectations like that in 1952—with a new and trusted president coming into office—we thought everything was possible. Taking my tree down this year, I was struck by those wThen, as now, memories and the contrast to ^ look forward today—how times change. ^Optimistically to A long distance call from San wi new president Francisco, as my brother shipped out for Korea, for to heal serious instance, seemed like it came problems** from another planet. &The library made a difference in my life.

We lived at the end of an 18 mile dirt road and you could see those lights in our window for miles across the snow as we came home at night. We all wanted our favorite brother home safe, away from deadly harm and death he faced every day. He saw the Pusan Perimeter, Yalu River and the frozen Chosin, and we knew exactly what that meant. Seeing "his" tree every day gave us great comfort. I remember that winter of hopefulness very clearly—and how our optimism never faded, even as the tree shriveled. That tree became an unsspoken magic in our house— we wouldn't take it down because it was somehow protecting my brother. So many neighbors and friends had sons, who were wounded or killed, we worried eve We were pulling for Ike and a peace future—tne dawn of a new day.

First we have to overcome street crime, drues, Somalia, Iraq, Bosnia, a runaway deficit and a political system that has become so cruelly partisan. I wonder if hope can really influence or diminish the future? My brother came home safe in the Fall of 1953—he slipped in the back door unannounced, without a word and it seems to me the world he came back to has never been the same. Then, as now, we look forward optimistically to a new president to heal serious problems—but one who faces much sterner challenges, with a less firm footing than Ike did. Today we hold the same wish with the same optimism for everyone's brother and sister. So many of them face deadly peril everyday. With the end of forty-five years of superpower rivalry and confrontation we The two books I am recommending this month are Truman by David McCullough and Iron Fist by Jeffrey Rodengen—two books about the great American dream of rising from humble beginnings to success and greatness. I cannot imagine two biographies more different in style and content. Truman, the underrated underdoe, has somehow managed to become everybody's (including Bush and Clinton) favorite president today. Iron Fist perfectly describes Carl Kiekhafer, the hard driving brilliant, engineer and founder of Mercury Marine.

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. Please contact Sally Seifert or Martha Sloan at 945-3311. Thom Morris has joined the staff part time in Reference. For 20 years he was Director of the Trinity College Library. 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.

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.

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.

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!

The circulating business books have now been integrated into the regu­ lar nonfiction collection in call number order. Not only had the business books outgrown their space in the business room, but there was much confusion caused by |5p> books of a similar nature (real estate < • books, for example) being split between different collections. When remodel­ ing is completed there will be more space in the Business Room for the library’s other business collections: reference books, investment ser­ vices, annual reports, and current issues of business journals. The Business Room also provides a quiet and pleasant refuge for investors, job hunters, consumers and local busi­ ness people. Some of the reference books §>!©0idl<sg^ recently added to the Business Room Easter Sunday, April 12 Memorial Day, May 25 include new Chi­ cago directories useful for job hunters or local busi­ nesses: Chicago Area Business Direc­ tory, Chicago JobBank; Sorkins Di­ rectory of Business & GovernmentChicago Edition (\7 vol.) and new special issues of business journals: Business Journal Book of Lists (for Lake County); and Crains Chicago Business Top Business Lists.

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.

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.

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

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