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

It has been my privilege to work with four gifted and talented architects: Cecil Gobeaux, Don Wrobleski, Karl Sugihara and Scott Javore. A special thanks to interior designer Juele Blankenburg. It has been an interesting odyssey. The library staff and Board could not have been more helpful or supportive. The foresight of Mayor Forrest and the Village Trustees made all of our renovations possible. These projects were carried out with the use of Tax Increment Financing and did not cost the taxpayer any money. The library incurred no debt—and no new taxes. Two remarks stand out in my memory that shaped the mind-set of the entire project. They stand out because of their easy wisdom. The first was from our former Board President, Tom Parfitt, when our ADA building audit had been done by O’Donnell, Wickland, Pigozzi and Peterson. We needed to change and alter many things in our building to be ADA compliant; frankly this would cost a lot of money and dis­ turbed everyone on the board. We named our Fiction Room for Tom because of what he said that night, “This is not a set back, this is an opportunity.” The second came when we were in the design throes of the lobby renovation and the architect was describing how a double-hung door (which we now have) fully complied with ADA because of the low pressure needed to open it. Yvonne Sharpe got right to the point by asking. “What if the patron doesn’t have any hands?” So we added an automatic door, too. I believe those two insights defined everything we Deerfield Public Library 920 Waukegan Road Deerfield, Illinois 60015 Deerfield Public Library Jack Hicks, Administrative Librarian Library Board Sue Benn, President David Wolff, Secretary William Seiden, Treasurer Ken Abosch Jack Anderson Sunday Mueller Yvonne Sharpe Library Hours Mon.-Thurs: 9:00 am - 9:00 pm 9:00 am - 6:00 pm Friday: 9:00 am - 5:00 pm Saturday: 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm Sunday: Editor: Sally Seifert have done in the past eight years. Do the thing right, in spirit as well as statute. Not the cheap­ est, not the most expensive, we chose the right way throughout the whole project. Bill Seiden always kids me about the six Family Day Parade 1st prizes I have in my office. I am proud of them because they make it clear how this library relates to and reflects the community and residents. This library is part of the community. We help kids learn to read, do story hours, provide fiction books, answer refer­ ence questions, teach research skills, help plan science fair experiments, teach the Internet and do puppet shows. We supply all our Deerfield residents with their reading needs and informa­ tion needs and provide lifetime learning. So, as Winston Churchill said, we shape our buildings and thereafter they shape us. The bricks and mortar period is over. Now the hard part begins—planning for the future. The Board and staff will not waver from that responsibility. It will take hard work and courage to develop a vision for the future. Technology, remote access, fiber optic networks, distance learning, and computers will shape our future. To have a vision and plan in place will take study. The revitalized Youth Services Department reflects our commitment to the young people of Deerfield—our future—and the room makes some promises. It promises chal­ lenge and reward, service and wisdom, comfort and warmth. Most of all, I pledge that it promis­ es an entrance to the future for all our children. *3 — Wck Alan Hicks Administrative Librarian Non Profit Org.

To many of us from my gen­ eration he is remembered as a very talented and creative man who, if he did not invent late night televi­ sion, certainly put his mark on it. The late night talk show hosts as personified by Jack Paar, Johnny Carson, Jay Leno, David Letterman, or Conan O’Brien owe much to Steve Allen. Their format and style is one that he invented and perfected. His talent and origi­ nality have never been equaled and his presence will be missed. A man for all seasons, he was a composer, a comedian, a writer, an actor and a serious thinker. He was a Chicago boy and his death speaks to my youth. Old timers like myself always talk of the “golden age of televi­ sion” with reverence. Whether reverence is deserved or not is beside the point. We remember it that way, and there is no way to convince us dial TV is alive and well and better than ever. I clearly remember the first television event that I ever saw—the Ezzard Charles and Jersey Joe Walcott title fight of 1948 or ‘49. continued on back page n urt',°e ---- Library Entrance Lobby Redesigned A brighter and more welcoming entrance to the library will soon be completed by architect D.F Wrobleski, who was the architect for the library’s lower level Fiction Room and Youth Services Department. Wrobleski said this was required to be in compliance with ADA standards. The original floor’s surface had become very irregular and dangerous. “This is an opportunity to install a new, light colored floor and doors to increase a sense of welcome to the library. Furthermore, the exterior concrete was cracked by winter snow melt and is being replaced with a more decorative stone and brick. Two stone planters will be installed to separate the building from the parking lot” he said. For those fond of the front lobby water fountain, a memorial to Deerfield’s Donald McCabe, be assured that it will remain; it will be redesigned a little smaller to make the library more accessible and will be set on a circular rose marble base to make it safer for traffic in and out of the library. Since the ADA required renovation, the library board took this opportunity to enhance and update the library lobby and make the entrance safer for everyone. Blumenthal Selected for Library Board Jeff Blumenthal, a Chicago native who has lived in Deerfield for 11 years has been appointed by the board from among a number of applicants to fill the unexpired term of Yvonne Sharpe. Sharpe, a board member since 1992, has moved to Riverwoods. Blumenthal, a civil litigation lawyer for Foran & Schultz, spends a great deal of time in the library, “It’s my home away from home” said Blumenthal who loves to read and often brings his wife and three children. He is a graduate of Northwestern where he majored in liberal arts and has his law degree from the University of Pennsylvania. Village manager Robert D. Franz (left) swears in Jeff Blumenthal as a new library board member.

I watched with my Dad at a local saloon; the bartender confided to us that he had a lock on TV in my hometown, “because he got into TV on the ground floor.” I think that set had a six inch circular screen and the bar is now a parking lot. Reminds me more than a bit of today’s dot.com frenzy. So much has changed in American life in the past fifty years it is impossible to get a frame of reference or to see the scope of those changes. Certainly the younger generation has no idea what we are talking about when we use terms like “Stalin ” “cold war” or “golden age of tele­ vision." Why should they? For them man has always been on the moon, they have always had cell phones, pagers, and post-it notes. Viet Nam is a country, not an issue tearing generations apart. They have no idea what it meant to say “I Like Ike” and really love a presidential candi­ date. The young don’t know Watergate, maybe Iran-Contra and the Gulf War..... events distort­ ed by TV. In a way, television is a microcosm of the past fifty years. It started off simply, got our attention, developed a persona, went from black and white to color and took off in complexity and controversy. The first coast-to-coast broad­ casts were events everyone watched with awetelevision could span the continent. Many of us sat transfixed by Joseph Welch and Joe McCarthy. There were the first presidential debates, the moonwalk, the assassinations. At the same time TV got very shallow and compli­ cated, losing its originality in the quest for cor­ porate profit. Style and content went by the wayside and the medium was branded a “Vast Deerfield Public Library 920 Waukegan Road Deerfield, Illinois 60015 Deerfield Public Library' Jack Hicks, Administrative Librarian Library' Board Sue Benn, President David Wolff, Secretary William Seiden, Treasurer Ken Abosch Jack Anderson Jeffrey Blumenthal Sunday Mueller Library' Hours Mon.-Thurs: 9:00 am - 9:00 pm Friday: 9:00 am - 6:00 pm Saturday: 9:00 am - 5:00 pm 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm Sunday: Editor: Sally Brickman Wasteland.” Edward R. Murrow, our best TV newsman, warned that without standards televi­ sion was nothing more than “lights and wires in a box.” In many ways the real golden age of televi­ sion is now. Cable, satellite dishes, DVD, com­ puter animation, and now instant live program­ ming delay are all significant technological advances. Picture quality and program availabil­ ity are nothing short of sensational. There is something on television, cable, or dish twentyfour hours a day, seven days a week. Events that happen half a world away are instantly shown on TV as they happen. It is absolutely a techno­ logical marvel, but somehow we are poorer for it all. The media can show us events, but puerile analysts cannot tell us what the events mean or why it happened. TV reality has become, after all, a light show in a box with all the intelli­ gence and integrity of a kids video game. So the passing of Steve Allen has special poignancy for those of my generation. His talent and originality are missed; we are left with a void not met by corporate minions. Lights in a box will never challenge us, inspire us, or make us laugh. I believe the golden age of TV is now because of the stupendous technology, but I also firmly know the golden age of talent has long since passed. Jackie Gleason, Edward R. Murrow, Ernie Kovacs, Steve Allen, to name only a few, are talents we will never see again because they could never slither through the fil­ ter of the corporate sieve. I recommend Hi-Ho, Steverino! by Steve Allen for a glimpse into this American original. — Jack Alan Hicks Administrative Librarian Non Profit Org.

Russo, Librarian and Mrs. C. Wolf, Assistant Librarian opened the doors to Deerfield’s first library. The library was housed in the Deerfield Grammar School (which later burned down) and was furnished with 700 books donated or purchased with funds contributed by the citizens of Deerfield.

That act dwarfs, in sheer magnitude, any previ­ ous catastrophe to befall America. Mere words fail. A defining moment none of us will ever forget. In the days and weeks that followed it was clear to me that in an important way the terrorists had failed. Instead of divid­ ing and terrorizing us, that terrible day had acted to pull us together. The flags, the universal respect for the police and fire departments, the calm and measured actions of the Federal government all reinforce the unity that came to us that terri­ ble September morning. Those airplane disasters were intended to cripple us, instead they united us. What will the long term require of us? Certainly this will not be a quick and easy campaign against a silhouetted enemy like Desert Storm. The struggle we are embarking on is one of shadows and stealth where the force of our weapons will not be as important as the power of our ideals for this is a war against a mindset, a subculture, a blooded network of disaffection and hate. An enemy banded by a hate that has been festering for years. This is a target that will not succumb to standing still and letting us take a shot at them. Maybe more importantly this is not a war against a country; this is a war against vengeful individuals who hate the U.S. History really does not supply a convenient precedent for us to benchmark. This is all new territory, this is not Desert Storm and this is not Vietnam; it could end up being more like the Marshall Plan. The world has changed, and not just on September 11th. It is now clear that prior to the World Trade Towers we Americans were unaware of the depth and breadth of the hatred arrayed against us. Certainly there are glib parallels to our tortured attempt in Vietnam to win the hearts and minds where we won no hearts or minds. But that was a local conflict with local goals; any domino effect was only in our imagination. It is clear to us that the threat of this brand of terrorism crosses many borders, political and economic lines; and is deep seated and widespread. That these groups can thrive in the U.S. is a product of our open society; that they can also thrive hidden in the former Soviet Union demonstrates the power of the hate aligned against us. Resolution of this war will not be simple; it will be complex. It will not be cheap but there is no choice; if we fail we could face a new dark age. There was a Greece, a Rome, a Byzantium and a Dark Age. Will we win this struggle is a question we all ask. I am optimistic. No other country in the world compares to us; we are generous, compassionate, energetic, entrepreneurial, fun loving, full of opportunity, open, and decent. We have faced difficult challenges in the past and we will face up to this one. I have thought about WWII, a time when I was a kid. We sat by the radio, we read the newspapers everyday, we watched the newsreels. The war was far away. Now it is close. I clearly remember President Roosevelt talking about the Four Freedoms and why the war was being fought. I can still recite those freedoms: freedom of speech, free­ dom of religion, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. Those freedoms are real; they still define this country. What of our opponent? Blood, hate, politics, religion, and envy sure make a poison soup. The heart of their values stand starkly against ours. Freedom of speech? No such concept. Freedom of religion? Only as far as you practice their brand of state religion. Freedom from want? Want is their universal. Freedom from fear? Fear is the terrorist stock in trade. Unraveling this potent enemy will take time. Will we win? You can count on it. >1 — U Jack Alan Hicks Administrative Librarian file • Renew Deerfield books, CD’s or audio cassettes by phone 24 hours a day. Number is 847-945-3782.

The birds, for example where had they gone? Many people spoke of them, puzzled and disturbed. The feeding stations in the backyards were deserted. The few birds seen any­ where were moribund; they trem­ bled violently and could not fly. It was a spring without voices. On the mornings that had once throbbed with the dawn chorus of robins, catbirds, doves, jays, wrens, and scores of other bird voices there was now no sound; only silence lay over the fields and woods and marsh. So began opening passages in Rachel Carson’s 1962 classic, cautionary, tale Silent Spring. The message of that book was immediate and lasting: what man does to alter his environment can sow the seeds of a terrible harvest. That book detailed the inexorability, precision, and terrible lasting price of unintended consequences. Those lines were recalled to me late this summer when my neighbors and I realized that the chorus of birds our neighborhood had always enjoyed was silent. Gone were the sparrows, the crows, the blue jays and robins, gone were almost all the birds except ones passing through. No longer was I awakened to the raucous caws of a family of crows that frequented my backyard, no more brazen blue jays. In fact no birds at all. The cause is, of course, the West Nile Virus. Illinois leads the nation in human cases of the illness and in the number of deaths attributed to it. For reasons seemingly unknown to sci­ ence, Illinois is the epicenter of this new and baffling illness and the first to fall are our friends the birds. As Rachel Carson had so accurately predicted, the birds acted as the barometer of the health of the environ­ ment. Well-meaning voices have been raised to resurrect the use of DDT—one of the most dangerous and persistent poisons ever devised by man—as a possible cure. One can only ponder if the old vaudeville punch line wouldn’t literally be true: the proposed cure being worse than the disease. I have watched through late summer and now into fall for a return of the birds to my yard. A few have come, but are quickly gone, and no crow caws for my arising. Over the years hundreds and hundreds of sparrows have called my backyard home and my birdfeeder their Sunset Foods. I have housed, fed, and nurtured a sprawling family of sparrows in my yard for twenty-five years. This spring there were brood after brood of new hatchlings in that birdhouse—the insistent peeping announcing a new brood and the exit of the fledglings. Recently, I started to clean out my bird houses as I do every fall—so that next year’s birds will have a clean start on their child rearing. The wren house was empty, the second general purpose house always cherished by starlings was too. But the home place for my sparrows brought upset. Amidst all the string, and feathers, and sticks, and fluff there were the little abandoned nests—forlorn in their vacancy. The final nest brought sorrow. In it were three tiny shriveled, mummified, sparrow nestlings and three unhatched eggs. The birds I carefully buried in my flower garden along with two cracked eggs. The third egg, perfect, speckled in mot­ tled gray, white and brown. I put it in a finch’s nest I had brought home from a backpacking trip of forty years ago. I don’t know why. This seems like a fall to reflect on unintended conse­ quences and the price to be paid for our folly, hubris, or ignorance. Those little dead birds broke my heart. I had not had the good sense to realize that West Nile could strike so quickly as to kill the parents in mid-flight. The victims of our stupidity are always the tiny, the power­ less, the innocent. The solutions I will leave to better minds. But as Rachel Carson warned—it is always a dis­ aster to rush headlong to conclusions, to push for solu­ tions that may destroy more than they save, or to trust loud voices more than good sense. Too many lessons, it seems, get forgotten.

Ruth was barnstorming across the country with cronies and stopped, for reasons unknown, in my Uncle’s hometown of Rockwell City, Iowa. He wanted to play golf and asked for the top golfer in town as a partner. That was my Uncle, then a teenager, Alan Voss. Aside from family photos and memories and faded “Rockwell City Advocate” newspaper clippings, that minor piece of Rockwell City history is lost forever in the vast series of events that happen in towns small and large across our country. Oh, yes, Alan won the golf match. My Mother always said the Babe was driving a “big, open, yellow touring car” himself. Such oral history and family stories enrich our past and have much to tell us today. These stories tell us where we came from and who we are.

When it is finalized, the board will release its written plan to stand as a blueprint for the future. Key components of the plan will include both the library’s operations and facilities. Public Opinion Laboratories (POL) of Northern Illinois University conducted a telephone survey this past spring, completing 1,000 interviews with Deerfield, Bannockburn and Riverwoods residents. Many of the respondents especially valued the library’s accessible location and Children’s Department. The Adult Fiction Room received high marks and there was a stated desire to enhance the audiovisual and non­ fiction holdings. Other respondents indicated use of multiple libraries, and the data was helpful in providing insights about the reasons for that use. Hoping to gather in depth opinions about the library, the Board commissioned POL to conduct focus groups. Twelve focus groups were held over the summer with ten different subgroups of residents. Grouping the participants allowed the moderator to explore issues of special interest to that particular group. As one might expect, the opinions from these groups were varied but common themes were identified. Since the library’s current physical space is fully utilized, we hired Anders Dahlgren of Library Planning Associates, Inc. to assess the current space needs of the library. Using more conventional space allocations (wider aisles, lower shelving) as well as the proper amount of seating space, it would take a building about 50% larger just to house our current holdings and services. Dahlgren is now working on an estimate of long range space needs based on projected holdings, program of services, new services and overall projected growth for the next 25 years. As we continue this process, there will be more information needed and many options examined. As you can guess, the board has spent many hours on this project and knows there are many more ahead. The board is totally committed to creating a vision that best meets the needs of current and future library users — using the interviews, focus groups and space needs study as a source of direction. We will share this vision as it unfolds in ftiture issues of Browsing. Want to be “in the know” about what’s going on in the world?

In the Library Voter Registration Voters Turn Down Library Advisory Referendum The Deerfield Public Library had an advisory referendum on the November 2,2004 Deerfield ballot requesting “bonds in the amount of $25 million be issued for Library purposes of the Village of Deerfield, in Lake County, Illinois for addition or construction of a new library building of at least 80,000 sq. ft. including site acquisition, parking, library materials and technology and related fixtures, furnishing, improvements and costs”. The final vote tally was 31.43% in favor and 68.57% against. The staff and board would like to thank all those who supported the library and most particularly Deerfield resident Bill Darrow and his citizens’ group who worked so hard to communicate the library’s message. We also greatly appreciated Amie Grahl, Deerfield Review editor, who gave the library's referendum a wonderful endorsement in the Pioneer Press on October 21. This was the first time in over 35 years that the library had gone to the taxpayers for building funds, asking for community support to replace the present library which has outgrown its 1971 building. More space and equipment are required to respond to the needs and requests from the Deerfield community. The library board will continue to plan future library service which the community wants and deserves.

Daley Praises Libraries Mayor Daley recently addressed the American Library Association’s annual conference in Chicago. He said that in 2005 alone, Chicago had seven libraries under construction and 45 built or renovated in the past 16 years. He credits the taxpayers for allowing him to invest in libraries in the city and increase taxes for libraries. Libraries are important to the mayor. He said: “I look at libraries as a learning experience. They are part of the education system. It was never separate. When I became mayor, I said This is part and parcel of our educational commitment.’ We need libraries. They are just as important as building police stations. We are building fire stations, senior citizen buildings, schools and libraries because they become anchors of a community. &SG? When somebody sees a library being built in their community, what they see is confidence in the community. The library becomes part of our economic develop­ ment and that’s the key.

We’re ablaze with all the possibilities we envi­ sioned when our Library Board and management team met recently to dis­ cuss service expectations and emerging trends in society. Now, we are using what we learned to plan for an exciting transformation. ■ One trend we are addressing is the desire for convenient, personalized services. You want your library resources and services available when you need them, not just when we are open. Now, you can place your own holds, request e-mail notifica­ tion about library materials, and down­ load e-audiobooks. You can even have program updates, new titles in your choice of interests, and the New York Times Bestseller List e-mailed to you! Not sure how? We’ll be happy to get you started. We shared the news about new Library services this fall at many community events. A presentation to the Chamber of Commerce, booths at Community Services Day and the 50+ Expo, visits to the high school, and support of Arts & Riverwoods are just a few examples of our ongoing involvement in our community. Throughout this newsletter you’ll read how partnerships with local organizations and businesses also have helped create new grant opportunities and a communi­ ty-wide book discussion. We aren’t just joiners—we’re doers! Invite us to YOUR next community event! °'e re °o, in% 23, Number 3 New Year’s Evolution What have we resolved to do even better in the New Year? The Deerfield Public Library wants to exceed your expectations! We are creating new ways to serve the community, and we’re enhancing the Library collections and services that you and your families tell us you love. Some of the innovations you will notice right away are an expanded Multimedia department, “Reading Warriors: A Guys Read Program” for boys in 3rd - 5th grade, and “One Book, One Zip Code,” a community-wide reading program for adults. Multimedia Department Did you know that Deerfield Public Library patrons checked out almost as many discs and DVDs as books last year? The Library is responding to this demand for audiovisual materials by increasing staff and services in its new Multimedia department. You’ll find • More staff members specially trained to answer your questions about movies, music, and more • Reclassified CDs to make finding the right items easier than ever (Next, we’ll reclassify the audiobooks and separate them into fiction and nonfiction.) • New formats—including *Wii games, *Playaways, and *downloadables • Multiple copies of popular items • Musical scores and media-related magazines *MediaSpeak Wii: Nintendo’s most recent video game console, distinguished by its wireless controller Playaways: Portable MP3 players preloaded with one audiobook each Downloadables: Text or audio files that can be downloaded to your computer and enjoyed at home or transferred to a portable device Reading Warriors: A Guys Read Program Girls continued to outperform boys in reading this year, according to a recent national study. Deerfield Public Library wants to address that trend and encour­ age reading and library use among elementary school boys next year, with pro­ grams and services supported by a Library Services and Technology Act grant of $2,876. The Library will use funds awarded to “Reading Warriors: A Guys Read Program” to survey boys in 3rd—5th grades on their reading preferences; offer a workshop led by an expert on boys’ literacy for parents and teachers; and increase the number of “boy-friendly” books, booklists, and programs the Library provides. �Adult Programs Programs are free and open to the public.

In September we had a booth at the Farmer’s Market and at Deerfield Community Days. In addition, we recently assumed responsi­ bility for the sale and maintenance of the ongoing used book sale at the Library.

Is there anything more welcoming? Recently, I was walking back to the Library after an evening meeting. Through the glowing panes, I saw the Library full of people engaged in a variety of ei\joyable activities. kiv Record-breaking attendance, climbing circulation figures, increasing demands for our meeting rooms and for tables throughout the building—something is going on here!! Even we have been a little surprised at these dramatic increases. No doubt the shaky economy is one reason - the Library is a terrific family-entertainment resource. We hope the many positive changes and improved access day and night, here or from home or office, are contributing factors as well. In this issue you will discover many new reasons to come to the Library and information about our plans to make it even more inviting. Be sure to see the Board’s announcement of our plans to update the Library. Whatever your plans are for the next few months, we hope that you’ll let us extend a cheery hello to you this winter. 0 111^5 Number 3 Library Board Engages Architectural Consultant Last year the Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees decided to stay in downtown Deerfield at our present location. Although it appears that our 37-year-old building is structurally sound, we continue to hear from members of the community that it is time for an update. More than just updating the worn and outdated interior, it is time to rearrange our space to make better use of the building and reconfigure it to meet the needs of our community. Included in this improvement plan is the possibility for a small addition. The Board has engaged the services of a Chicago-area architectural firm to review the current building systems and structure in detail, evaluate the use of space and evolving programming and service needs, and conduct community focus groups. The purpose of this process is to generate ideas and build consensus about the vital services and space needs of a dynamic community library. The architectural firm will use this information to develop a set of proposals to enhance our current building on Waukegan Road. These alternatives will be presented to the public for further discussion and analysis. As we write this, the dates for these activities are being planned. We invite you to watch for further announcements and we welcome your ideas and comments at any time. — Ken Abosch, Deerfield Public Library Board President —Mary Courtney; Deerfield Public Library Board Member One Book, One Zip Code The 2009 “One Book, One Zip Code” selection for adults and high school students is Listening Is an Act ofLove: Celebration of American Life from the StoryCorps Project edited by Dave Isay.
