Librarian in the Lobby:
Now in 10th Year!
On the second Saturday of each month,
(September 8, October 13 and
November 10) from 9 a.m. to noon in
the library lobby, library visitors can
talk informally with Administrative
Librarian Jack Hicks along with one of
the members of the library board of
trustees. As a result of these years of
active listening, many changes in tech
nology, in services, in policies and in
the building itself have been made in
response to patron suggestions. This
“longest running focus group in town”
has also improved accountability and
visibility for library administrators who
are more in touch with day to day
library issues.

I never thought I would live to see Pearl Harbor
become a commodity. The Pearl Harbor attack was
a national tragedy whose effect we feel sixty years
after it happened. Now we have a film of the sneak
attack which not only gets history very wrong but
sanitizes the whole event into politically correct
entertainment. For many reasons, this film is a dis
service to both history and the men and women
who died on December 7th, 1941. For the U.S.,
Pearl Harbor was perhaps the formative event of the 20th Century. It has
dominated U.S. military and foreign policy for sixty years. I am not criti
cizing the current film, in fact its use of computer animation is nothing
short of fantastic, but I am criticizing Hollywood’s misuse of history.
Why worry about a film's inaccurate portrayal of an historic event?
Recent studies indicate that less than 50% of the American public reads
anything at all—no magazines, no newspapers, no books, no recipes,
nothing. That is a disgraceful problem. If half the people get all their
information and form decisions based on what they hear on radio, see on
tv, and watch at the movies, and all history is presented via the media in
the form of special effects entertainment, we as a nation are trading on
the dangerous ground of delusion. To think that people watch Oliver
Stone's warped versions of history and do not know that these films are
gross distortions is a sobering, upsetting, notion. The old adage is true: a
person who doesn't read is no better off than the person who can't read.
Not long ago a young man writing an honors paper about Pearl Harbor
asked me if I could help him with his research. His thesis was simple: the
Japanese had attacked Pearl Harbor in order to get control of the atomic
bomb. When I showed him that the atomic bomb did not exist at the time
of Pearl Harbor, that in fact the bomb existed only as a response to that
attack, the young man recoiled at the idea. Why then did the Japanese
mount the attack? When I showed him that the attack was aimed at
destroying the American Navy, he became incredulous and quite hostile.
Why on earth would the Japanese do that? Why indeed? The recent
film doesn’t give anyone a clue, it provides no historical context, draws
bizarre conclusions, presents a depersonalized catastrophe as history. If
the film had just stuck to drama it would be fine, but as presented it dis
graces an event that is sacred in American history.
I guess there is another deep down, nagging, issue for me. So many
films like Platoon, Born on the Fourth of July, Apocalypse Now, The Thin
Red Line, even the goofy Patton, (with a notable exception of the absur
dist noir classic, Dr. Strange!ove,) pose as anti-war films. It gives them a
chic legitimacy, a closer look convinces that these are not anti-war films
at all. At heart they are anti-military, yet glory in death, violence, and
atrocity. It doesn’t trouble me that people flock to see films that revel in
violence, it bothers me that they accept what they have seen as truth and
fact. If you need to see an anti-war film look at All Quiet on the Western
Front, or Glory. If you want to see the real results of war, look at Shoah,
The Sorrow and the Pity, The Best Years of Our Lives, or the chilling
recent Macedonian film, Before the Rain. For anti-war films that pull no
punches, find the older Japanese films, Harp of Burma or Fires on the
Plain. Better than that, read any recent Time article about the Serbian
massacres at Suva Reka. But if history must be learned from film and
media, look at sources that put history into clear focus, not films that
ask us to accept death as entertainment and distorted history as reality.

Take a book to bed, not to bath!
Books and water don’t mix. Literally hundreds
of books have been returned to the library in a
dampened, unusable condition. Since others
are waiting for the book you have on loan,
please handle carefully and remember that
other people want to read this same book.
When the library must replace a damaged
book, there is a charge for the book and an
additional $5.00 processing fee. Why? Glenn
Poch, Head of Technical Services, says that
book (and cassette) processing is time con
suming and costly. We cannnot simply switch
with a new book from a book store. Often we
buy books specifically bound for heavy library
use. Preparationfor patron use includes: with
drawing the damaged book, reordering, receiv
ing, invoicing, cataloging, adding to our data
base, labeling, adding security & date due
slips, laminating and stamping. Also add the
cost of bar codes and other materials to staff
time. It takes a whole Technical Services
Department to handle withdrawing, purchas
ing, and preparation of the materials you and
others want to borrow!

rP he plight of the deer in
A Lincolnshire is an emotional
pressure cooker. 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

Across the Librarian’s Desk (cont.)
other. 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.

w
inston Churchill said that
we shape our buildings and
thereafter they shape us. 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,

cement cutters, brick layers, contractors and
architects. 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

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.
