A recent study of
north suburban
libraries demon
strated that usage I—
is up at nearly all libraries. This
trend is repeated across the
United States. At Deerfield Public
Library, circulation this year is
running over 22% ahead of the
same period last year, and nearly
55% higher than the same period
two years ago! At this rate, we
expect to reach the level of
500,000 items checked out annually
within the next year or so. Many of
you have commented about the
increased level of activity in the
Library, and we are seeing
increased usage via our Web-based
services from home and other
places as well. We hope you feel
the same pride we do in the
popularity of your hometown
library.

Library Remodeling Update
On September 22, 2009, about 30 people attended an information session about the
Library’s recent space needs assessment and facility analysis. The questions posed,
and the Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees and architect responses are
available on our Web site. The Board appreciated the many thoughtful interactions
that took place, and invites others to comment as well.
Recently, the Board engaged Ehlers and Associates to help evaluate the Library’s
current financial status, expected cash flow for the future, possible future financial
needs, and possible sources of funds for the proposed project. The Board is taking
the current economic climate and other factors into consideration as part of the
planning process.
One Book, One Zip Code
The 2010 “One Book, One Zip Code” selection for adults
and high school students is Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi.
Satrapi’s award-winning memoir of growing up during
Iran’s Islamic Revolution is a graphic novel, laid out and
illustrated like a comic book. Her charming black and
white illustrations help the reader see the countiy’s
dramatic changes. The constant “but, why?” of childhood
is the perfect vehicle for exploring the world-changing
events of 1980s Iran.
This is the third year for the “One Book, One Zip Code” pro
gram. Previously, the communities of Bannockburn,
Deerfield, and Riverwoods came together to discuss
Mountains Beyond Mountains and Listening Is an Act ofLove.
This spring, “One Book, One Zip Code” partners will once again provide readers
with opportunities to come together at locations throughout the community for
discussions, lectures, films, and other interactive events related to the book. Learn
more at www.onebookonezipcode.org.
If your book group is interested in reading Persepolis, a trained book group leader
from the Deerfield Public Library can come to your group for free to lead the discussion.
Call Karen Kleckner at (847) 580-8950 for more details.

Trustees has been holding open

New Gift Book Policy
The library board recently
approved a newly revised gift
book policy. We welcome mone
tary gifts to purchase library
materials and also accept donated
used books and non-book
current material in good condi
tion. Our professional staff
evaluates gifts using the same

donations, gifts in remembrance
and donations of materials. The
staff will provide written
acknowledgement of gifts if
requested. For details, you may
pick up a copy of the gift policy
at the library.
Mayor Richard M. 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. All of a
sudden new homes go in. People
Deerfield Nursery School students tour the library
and enjoy listening to a story
say, ‘We’re now invested in the
community...
Google Will Charge for Extra Service

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

conduct a referendum. The
community will be included
and informed of all processes
to come.

it should be “destroyed in a dignified way.”

What to do with your tattered flag? If you do not
want to burn the flag yourself, Deerfield Boy

�Across the Librarian’s Desk
There was a strange stillness. 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.

n January 1, 1927 Mrs. F.W.
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. With no taxing power, the
original incorporators relied upon
donations from the community, led by
the Deerfield Chamber of Commerce.
In 2002, we celebrate 75 years of
serving Deerfield. Our present building
(dedicated in 1971) houses 178,857
materials, circulates 328,084 items
annually and boasts its own fast, online
computer system.
Get Smart... at the Deerfield
Library....75 years of excellence will
be our anniversary theme. Put the
library on your TO DO list as we cele

2002. In addition to our many pro
grams for you, January you can sign
our big birthday card for the library;
February we will have the Rosemary
Sazonoff Contests for Adults and
Children; Sunday, March 10 (save the
date) will be our big celebration party!

Grapes of Wrath and leads a discussion on

welcome to attend.
�What can you say in the aftermath of the World Trade
Towers? 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.

Across the
Librarian’s
Desk
It is with a pang of real sadness
that I note the passing of Steve
Allen. 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.

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.
The Library will be closed:

Across the Librarian’s Desk (cont.)
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

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.
