Details on page 2 �From the Director In August 2022, the Library conducted a community survey to see how we can improve our services. This survey was the first step in updating our strategic plan. We promoted the survey on our website, social media, newsletters and in-house. We had over 520 responses. And, I’m happy to report that most of our survey respondents are satisfied with the services the Library provides. Our survey responders want more of all the things that the Library provides. Most survey takers (42%) also visit the Library once a week. (If you’re a regular reader of this column, you know that I grew up visiting my local public library branch weekly, so I appreciate that this is still a thing!) More than 360 survey takers are interested in expanding our Library of Things collection. An equal number is interested in the Library having more special STEM programs as well. We heard that people are interested in additional comfortable seating and study areas. In addition, survey takers want to learn more about the services that they didn’t know we had. We are committed to effectively promoting our resources and services, and will work creatively to meet that need. One great way to learn more about our services is through our twice monthly e-newsletter. It is a quick and informative read. If you’re not yet a subscriber, sign up today! The link is on the lower left of the front page of our website (deerfieldlibrary.org). This year, the Board will approve a new Strategic Plan using some of the data from the survey. This will help our staff continue to make DPL an even better public library. Watch our website for more information. As always, please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or comments at amy@deerfieldlibrary.org. Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director DPL Tournament of Books: 10th Season! Was your vote one of the 17,441 votes cast in last year’s DPL Tournament of Books? Did your favorite book make it to the Championship Round? If not, then maybe this year a new favorite will make it to the top in what we expect to be the most exciting season ever. Yes, get ready for the 10th anniversary season of the Tournament of Books! If you’re new to the Tournament, last year readers voted for their favorite picture books, early readers, graphic novels, chapter books, juvenile fiction and non-fiction, and teen titles. Voting is open to all ages! Voting is online at deerfieldlibrary.org/tournament-of-books, and DPS 109 students can vote in their school library. In celebration of the 10th season of the Tournament, we will be introducing two new brackets: Series and Manga. The Series bracket was a suggestion from readers and experienced Tournament participants: Lucy Bohrer and Charlie Plocker, both 5th grade students at Wilmot. DPL School Outreach Coordinator Kary Henry (and Tournament coordinator) recently visited Wilmot School to get some Tournament insights from Lucy, Charlie, and the school’s Library Information Specialist, Andrea Lathan. Lucy and Charlie say they really enjoy participating in the annual event. “The Tournament gets me thinking about what genres I most like to read,” said Lucy. One of her favorites is historical fiction. Charlie also likes historical fiction, and is a fan of sports-themed fiction. “I enjoy participating in the Tournament because I find out about new titles, and end up reading books that I might otherwise not have tried out,” said Charlie. When the Tournament was first introduced in 2013, there were only 117 votes cast. But for the second year, DPL began a partnership with DPS 109, and participation grew exponentially. Ms. Henry is grateful to the schools’ Library Media Specialists: “Without their support, we would never reach this many students and garner this many votes!” A couple of frequently asked questions about the Tournament are: • How are the books selected for the initial Round of 32? They are the highest circulating books at DPL during the previous year. • How many times can you vote? As many times as you want! Charlie and Lucy both say they vote about five times per round, and a few times more for books they really love. “Yes, the competitive spirit heats up when you really love a book,” said Ms. Lathan. “I’ve seen some students vote 20-30 times for one title!” “When we are in line waiting to vote in the Tournament, we often discuss the books and find out how people plan to vote,” said Lucy. Charlie makes a point that “the discussions do not sway his vote,” and Lucy seconded that. With the tips from Lucy, Charlie, and Ms. Lathan in hand, get ready and get reading for Tournament of Books 2023. Voting starts April 4. Vote early, vote often! @ deerfieldlibrary.org/tournament-of-books 2 Wilmot students Charlie Plocker and Lucy Bohrer with Library Information Specialist Andrea Lathan at the Tournament of Books voting station in the school library. �Adult Programs For full program descriptions, visit the DPL events calendar at deerfieldlibrary.org, click on “Programs”.

Across the Librarian's Deski Librarians are beguiled by the idea that they are harbingers, arbiters, and decision makers when it comes to taste, culture, education and all things literary. Especially in the growth and development of their own library's collection and services. I am as guilty of this as any librarian. Sometimes events bring you down to earth. This past winter saw the deaths of two long-time Deerfield Library patrons — Marion Cole and Sam Fosdick. They were both great library users who guided us, chided us, and led the Library to provide many of the materials and services we offer today. o O Q Forget Summer boredom and travel with us: Discover! • O Read ! will be the . theme for the children this year with a membership that promises ^ to be a passport to a summer of new discov­ eries and enjoyable Discover!

Summer Reading Club begins June 13. There will be three groups this summer — (all grade levels indicate the grade the child will enter in the fall): READ-TO-ME: Pre-school through 1st grade. EARLY READERS: 2nd and 3rd grade. OLDER READERS: 4th grade and up. Save the Date: August 1,10 a.m. for Discovery Day: Games, treats, and activities to celebrate a summer of good reading. Both Marion and Sam knew how to use libraries, what a library should be, and how a librarian can mediate and facilitate the use of the collection to the public. They were both lifetime readers. Reflecting on Sam and Marion as patrons and people makes me realize how important and close the relation­ ship is that develops between a library, its librarians and the residents. Librarians often forget the tremendous impact the patrons have on what we do, who we are, and how we do it. I guess modern marketing would say (Continued on p. 2) l Pardon Our Dust I During the summer, the library will begin a renovation j project which will allow us to ! meet the spirit and the letter | of the American Disabilities Act, providing better handiI capped access to the library.

In the case of Sam and Marion I would say we were gently led to do our best. Marion's influence on reference service in this Library cannot be overstated. She insisted on a high level of service, interlibrary loan, and a strong reference collection. Marion never accepted a lame or tired answer in lieu of real service. She helped set our standards for refer­ ence and made us live up to them. Sam was a dapper and urbane gentleman who expected exactly the same high level of service. His rogu­ ish but gentle sense of humor often concealed a very incisive message. Sam's advice about our Business Ref­ erence Room has changed how that room is organized, what we have in there, and how the staff interprets the collection to the public. Knowing and working with Mar­ ion and Sam for so many years was always interesting. Many people think a public library would be a great place to work if you could just keep the public out. It is wonderful patrons like Marion and Sam who make library work and developing that library — its services and collec­ tion — so rewarding and such a plea­ sure. There are so many people who have influenced us over such a long period of time that it would be hard to name them all. Libraries are indeed peo­ ple places. Two of them, Marion and Sam, both people I am glad to have known, will be missed by all of us.

A statistic that sur­ faced as we pre­ pared our "Brief History of the Deerfield Library" — In 1930 we cir­ culated 1000 books per month; in 1991’92, we circulated 1000 per day! Yet Deerfield Library takes the smallest bite (2.5%) of the Village property tax payment and serves all ages. *** William Cormier reports a record 250 people came to the library for free tax assistance offered by the AARP and the IRS this year. That's 100 more than last year. Changes in the tax laws this year may have prompted the increased activity. * * 14- Summer's here. Please take care of our cassettes, videos and CD's!

I don't know what the patrons anticipated, but I do know they are generally surprised by my answer. I guess they think that I'll be overcome with gloom. Nothing could be further from the truth. The presence of Barnes and Noble, Borders and Crown in our community is great! Books are my life, as they are for most librarians. fit acknowledges Every time I go into those three bookstores, it's like a what we always knew— Deerfield librarian's reunion—about is a book-centered a fourth of the customers are librarians. The more community. P access to books and ideas, the better. There are so many fine books printed every year that we never see in our review media, so many subjects that are only partially available through trade jobbers. Bookstores in the community—this is a librarian's dream—to be a able to handle and browse so many new books. I am proud to be a librarian in a community that three major bookstore chains have targeted as a productive market. We in the library always knew we had great library users, but to have three major conglomerates validate this by locating stores here is a compliment from the savvy marketers of the business world. It acknowledges what we always knew— Deerfield is a book-centered community. The bookstores and the library have similarities and significant differences.

We overwhelm the bookstores with our reference collections, business directories, indexes, and our wonderful children's department. Competition? The role of the library is so different I certainly don't see competition. More of a complement. We can learn from them in the areas of display, marketing and customer service. The fact that Barnes and Noble has chosen to schedule book discussions and children's story hours head-to-head with our established programs is taken by us as the sincerest form of flattery. The one tool that any of them have—that has obvious and exciting implications for libraries—is Borders' music access computer. I have been asked to rate the three stores, but that would be bordering on an endorsement. Thank you! A Sam and Mary Fosdick Memorial Garden of perennial flowers will be planted in front of the library this summer. Thanks to AAUW, Author Gertrude Rubin, and Junior Women's Club of Deerfield who have been among book donors this year. We don't have a coffee shop (yet) and 1 love that aroma as I browse. But we have two things that are far better within a half a block—the great Deerfield Bakery and that Deerfield institution—Harry's Grill. So when the spirit moves you, visit the three terrific bookstores we have in Deerfield, and then visit the Deerfield Public Library. Great food for mind and body a half block apart. I think you'll agree we stack up pretty well to our commercial bookstore neighbors and we're free. A final note—the firecracker annual report we handed out on July 4,1992 has won the Library Public Relations Council Division I Award as the best (small library) annual report in the country last year. Congratulations to Sally Seifert, our Public Relations Director.

Across the Librarian’s Desk We all grew up in different cities, Baltimore, Minneapolis, Cleveland, Chicago, Palo Alto, Istanbul, Cologne, all different, from everywhere. Stored in our heads are the roadsigns and road maps we used to navigate those towns. Some of the maps stored away in our heads have Celebrate on the Reading Railroad with the Youth Services Dep^. Ride through summer as we celebrate across the country. Readers and pre-schoolers will earn certificates for time spent reading library books in three groups based on age or grade to be entered in the Fall. Games, weekly puzzles, and prizes accompany these reading clubs. A Youth Services sum- , a mer flyer tells more details. faded, but a whole lot is still stored there, latent, ready to go. In fact we use them every day even though we may not know it. As I approach old age I have come to real­ ize that roadmaps are as inexorable as the DNA genetic code. They tell us where we came from, and who we are. What we respect, value, and how we interact. What we like to eat. This accidental geography of birth becomes as important as our parents. The value schemes, the ethnocentricisms. the lattice and matrix of our thinking process is regional; who we are is where we are from. Librarian in the Lobbq Monday, June 6 from 7-9 p.m. Jack Hicks and a member of the Library Board will meet the public in the front lobby to talk informally of library con­ cerns. This will mark the end of the second year of a successful, innovative program which encour­ ages residents to speak up. Librarian in the Lobby will resume in September. andidates have been inter­ viewed to fill Rosemary Sazonoff’s one year unex­ pired term on the Deerfield Library Board of Trustees. Sazonoff retired from the Board after 21 years of service. For many years she served as Board Secretary. The Library Sazonoff’s library leadership, commit­ is closed ment and compassion Sundays in will be missed by staff the Summer and board alike. Her board contributions have always been directed toward increasing service, containing expenses and supporting the staff. For her extensive community service, Mayor Bernard Forrest pro­ claimed the 2nd day of May, 1994 as Rosemary Sazonoff Day in Deerfield. Sitting in a staff meeting, I hear Minneapolis, Chicago, Cleveland—two dialects —Pepper Pike and Shaker Heights—Lubbock. Riga, Istanbul, Los Angeles, and Cedar Rapids all being spoken . We all bring a different tone of voice and point of view—based on our old road maps. We speak from the streets where our Continued on page 2 Renovation Update It’s been a busy year. Our Americans With Disabilites renova­ tion is now complete. Self opening front doors come this summer. The library now has accessible restrooms, elevator, fire escape ramps, telephone, TDD, and lowered drinking fountains. A planning process is under­ way to include remodeling the lower level gallery, reducing office space and moving ourfiction collection downstairs. This plan will mean a 22% increase in avail­ able floor space and a REAL quiet room. l UA �Librarian's Desh continued from page 1 grandparents lived, the street past the night school, the street of our girl friend's college dorm. Fixed points in an ever changing life, and we remember what all those people taught us. Literature and science alike will tell you that American regionalism is going the way of the passenger pigeon. I not only hope not. I know it is not. Oh. maybe the obvious twang of an Okie, or the drawl of a Texan, but even there a good ear will hear Dallas, west Texas, or Oklahoma. The old road signs steer us home everytime. Value schemes may be harder to see. and maybe they are fad­ ing away. They will if we let them. We all worry today about what we see as a decline in our society. Read a little history. Violence. It was ever so, only not reported as routinely or spectac­ ularly. There was always someone who pulled a gun or a knife to settle a dis­ agreement. There were probably those who carried guns to school, the differ­ ence today seems to be the mindless willingness to use them. Maybe Old Lodgskins said it best in Little Big Man, "...white men are crazy, they don't know where the center of the earth is." Road maps, maybe we should start using them more often. Or maybe we should be turning back tcrthe hometown sources of those maps and find an unwillingness to accept or tolerate violence. Whether the vio­ lence is racism, crime, drugs, institution­ al barbarism in our prisons, conglomer­ ate America, dumping toxic waste in our old swimming hole, or a kid packing a gun. Racism, drugs and crime do not have to be part and parcel of our daily lives. Our social roadsigns should steer us away from accepting murder mas­ querading as entertainment in TV and movies or lurid crime replacing news and reporting in our papers. The real crime is our acquiescence, acceptance, tolerance and participation in this corruption of our society. Look in the media mirror, it reflects us. The book I am recommending this month is Zephyr by Henry Kisor. Riding the Amtrak Zephry Kisor samples the sights and people on his train trip west. Always an interesting author. Henry Kisor taps into the lives of his fellow pas­ sengers. and the vital signs of railroading. 1 Jack Alan Hicks'Administrative Librarian every Monday morning to index our liter­ ary criticism collection.

Scott Javore and Associates from among seven candidates to redesign the main floor of the library. Javores firm, located in Glencoe, Illinois, specializes in architecture, interior design and historic preservation. This first floor renovation is part of a five year plan begun in 1992 with installation of a new heating system, compliance with R the American Disf/L, abilities Act, and 'iff most recently reuM structuring of the lower level for the ^ Thomas E. Parfitt Fiction Room. We now embark on the first floor renovation. It should be able to provide shelving for almost 200,000 volumes, yet return an open feeling, grace and functional­ ism to our public space. The architects have been meeting with the board and the library staff to gather information on how the library operates and what is needed. During the summer they will be working on a schematic design to reconfigure the space as it now exists. Telecirc is Here Now you can renew books, find all the titles you have checked out and hear fines for overdue books auto­ matically by calling 676-1846 from a touch tone telephone. A voice will ask you for your bar code number from your library card, and then you will hear a menu of options. DEER l-IEI.D Librariai cross: I wrote this prose poem in 1981 to help me resolve the loss of a good friend in Vietnam. For Memorial Day 1996 I urge you to remember our veterans. We all too often forget that Memorial Day is more than a three day weekend; it is a day of tribute to all those veterans who never came home. There are 58,000 names on the Vietnam Memorial Wall. Below is my memory of one of them. As a word of explanation, Hamline is my university in St. Paul, MN and my military service delayed my graduation by four years. I have carried this in my billfold for 15 years and refer to it often not only to remember my friend, but also to remember who I am. Every Autumn My memories of Hamline are always set in Autumn. Where early moons made flat transits across the midwest landscape. A place whose falling leaves and football games run on eternal. The enduring thing I came away with was people. We all met young. Some, like my wife I see everyday. Others are flimsy stuff, patterned thin and finewinter grass. Years, like the puff of small winds, have gone by so softly. Continued on page 2 ongratulations to Sue Benn, Board President, who cel­ ebrates twenty years of service on the Deerfield Library Board of Trustees. She has served on numer­ ous board committees and was in­ strumental in library automation, expansion of services and programs, ADA remodeling, library renovation and current restructuring plans. An avid library user, active in many other community organiza­ tions, Mrs. Benn has “provided out­ standing leadership, supported li­ brary programs and has the wonder­ ful ability to bring together diver­ gent views” said Jack Hicks. “Her dedication, creativity, patience and common sense make my job easier.” Staff appointments Sally Seifert has been '"~4 appointed Deputy Ad­ ministrator of the Deerfield Public Li­ brary. She has been Di­ rector of Public Rela­ tions and Programming and an Adult Reference Librarian for nine years. She will continue those duties and assist Jack Hicks in daily library operations. Jennifer Young has joined the Adult Refer­ ence Department. She received her BA in En­ glish and History from Marquette University and her MLS from Ro­ sary College. She previously held positions in a law firm, an account­ ing firm, and was a part-time librar­ ian at the Carol Stream and Westmont Public Libraries.

Program cards are required for any child participating in one of our registered pro­ grams. (Ticketed events, summer or winter reading, or drop-in events are excluded.) Par­ ents must present a Deerfield card at the Youth Services desk to fill out a program card for each child. These cards will have the infor­ mation we need to register efficiently: name, address, phone number and birth date. Once a card is in our files, anyone you choose may register your child either in person or by phone for storytimes and workshops. Please fill out these cards prior to registering for programs. We have computer access to magazines for children’s research. With Gateway Access, you can search magazine, articles on topics of current interest. You can search by subject or keyword to locate article citations, abstracts, and in many cases, the entire text. One of these computers has a printer attached. Please ask for assistance. A CD-Rom computer can access a multimedia encyclopedia to help with home­ work. We hope to add more research tools to it in the future. Please remember that the en­ cyclopedia is not a game.

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

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

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.

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?

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.

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!

Anderson Retires from Library Board After twenty- four years of service, John Anderson has moved to Wauconda. He was a Deerfield resident for thirty- four years. vr First elected in 1977 and reelected in four subsequent elections, Anderson’s term spanned the period from when the library was new all the way through the recent renovations. He provided leadership for two library directors: Suzanne Whetstone and Jack Hicks. A multi-faceted man, Anderson was a strong advocate of freedom of speech, access by all residents to all forms of information and of library literacy. He pressed for renovation and the new comput­ er system and he was instrumental in bringing videos and other AV for­ mats to the library. He said, “Many problems were solved during my tenure. I was glad to have been able to contribute to this great library.” WL ■ The library runs regular monthly columns in The Chamber of Commerce Docket and the local What's Happening. Watch for these! Three Board Members Elected Jeffrey Blumenthal, Donald Van Arsdale and David Wolff were elected to serve on the Deerfield Library Board of Trustees at the April 3 Village of Deerfield election. All three have previ­ ously served on the board. David Wolff has been a board member for 12 years and held the office of secretary. Blumenthal had been appointed last year. Both Blumenthal and Wolff will serve six year terms. Van Arsdale served on the Board in 1994, and will fill the remaining four year term of Yvonne Sharpe who resigned to move to Riverwoods. All three newly elected trustees are strong library users and supporters. The Deerfield Library Board of Trustees holds open meetings the third Wednesday of every month at 8 p.m. Under 18 Video Policy Changed Matt requested and the board responded.... Joan Bairstow, right, Deerfield Library Head of Circulation, gladly implemented the board’s new video policy suggested by Deerfield student Matt Tick, at left. Matt Tick, Deerfield High School stu­ dent, made a presentation to the library Board of Trustees, and the Board respond­ ed by changing the video policy for those under 18 years of age. The new policy states that when a parental permission release form is on file in the library, juve­ nile patrons may borrow video/DVD mate­ rials on their own cards. Parents must give the permission in person, and must assume full responsibility for return, damage, fees or fines for materials loaned under the pol­ icy. The library is held harmless from the loan of any material. Policies and permis­ sion slips are available at the front desk. See inside for Music in the Fiction Room on Saturday, June 9th.

Many, like Rosemary Sazonoff, were Deerfield stalwarts; many were not known by the public but made strong contributions to this library benefiting the residents and the staff. John was not the longest serving board member of memory. That honor would go to former Board President Tom Parfitt, with current President Sue Benn right behind in length of service. It is hard to sin­ gle out individuals but some do stand out. Longtime Treasurer Tony Sabato, who passed away last winter, taught me all I know about tax levies and public finance. Rosemary Sazonoff taught me the power of the press; Wilbur Page taught me respect for the physical plant and how to take care of it. Sue Benn, especially, has shepherded me through all our renovation projects for the past eight years and I owe her more than I can tell. It is with sadness that we note the death of former Board Member Charlene Reich in early May; she served with distinction. Currently the library has a mix of old and new board members. Sue Benn brings over twenty years experience to the table, David Wolff twelve years. Our younger members Don Van Arsdale, Sunday Mueller, Jeff Blumenthal and Ken Abosch bring a renewed sense of energy and enthusiasm as we look forward to long range planning and needed community assessment to prepare ourselves for the future. Bill Seiden has agreed to fill John Anderson’s position on an interim basis. This board truly reflects the residents of Deerfield and will be a great asset as we move into the reality of the information age. As if we needed proof that it is indeed a small world we live in, this spring Bill Seiden, current President of the North Suburban Library System Board, and I were in Washington, D.C. for the American Library Association’s Legislative Day. At the debriefing session held after a long day on Capitol Hill I chanced to look over at one of our fellow library advocates. I asked him immediately if he was the Don McCurry who served so ably on the Deerfield Public Library Board twenty years ago. Don’s reponse was, “How in the world did you know that?” It was easy. Don had been a great board member. He had made strong contri­ butions to the library, and had make a lasting impression. He was in Washington as a board member of the Northern Illinois Library System headquartered in Rockford. It seems Don has been involved in library service for many years. At this point it finally occurred to me that as boards have a tremendous impact on their libraries, so do libraries have a lasting effect on the board members themselves. It was a fine moment when I introduced a current board member to one from many, many years ago. Past and present became one, leading me to feel confident about this library’s future.
