A Welcome and a Look Ahead
Welcome Amy Falasz-Peterson, our new Library
Director as of July 1! Amy is learning all about our
outstanding Library — perhaps you have seen
her in the Library, in the lobby during the July
4th parade, or around town as she settles in. Amy
comes to us with nine years’ experience as Library
Director in East Peoria, Illinois. Amy has also
been an Assistant Director and Head of Reference,
experience we know will serve us well. During the
interview process, Amy impressed the Board and
Library staff with her focus on community,
outreach, customer service, and respect for the
important role libraries play in communities.
With Amy’s leadership, the Board will begin a
strategic plan this year. We will research new and
future trends in libraries, and we will ask you to
help us identify needs. Our last strategic plan
helped lead us to our renovated, larger library. It
helped identify the need for more study rooms,
more meeting spaces, and technological updates
throughout the library. After living in our new
space for two years, we are excited to make plans
for the future. Please check future Browsing
issues and our website for opportunities to
be involved.

Deerfield Library is STEAMing
What is STEAM and why is
it at the Library?
STEAM is the acronym for Science,
^technology, Engineering, Art, and
Mathematics. At the Deerfield Public
Library you’ll find STEAM throughout the
Youth Services Department’s programming.
The Library is a perfect place to introduce
and encourage your child's natural curiosity
about the world.
What type of STEAM programs
does the Library offer?
Programs with a STEAM emphasis are
offered at the Library year-round. KiDLS
(Kids in Deerfield Love Science) is our
quarterly event for the elementary school
crowd and their grown-ups. From examining
color to making our own music to learning
about Illinois’ wild mammals, we have a
great time in KiDLS!
STEAM can also be found in other programs,
such as Ready, Set, Learn offered during
the school year for preschoolers, in our
Minecraft Clubs, and in our homeschool
10
programs. Every year, the DPS 109 schools,
area preschools, other schools and
homeschoolers showcase their artwork
in the glass display cases as you enter the
youth department.
At what age is it appropriate to
introduce your child to STEAM?
“Real science begins
with childhood
curiosity, which
leads to discovery
and exploration....,f
It is never too early to encourage your child’s
exploration of the world. Whether through
a program or our books and magazines, the
Deerfield Public Library offers a myriad of
ways to engage with and enhance your child’s
curiosity. Choose a picture book, such as
ILove Bugs! by Philemon Stages, or a
nonfiction title, such as Growing Patterns:
Fibonacci Numbers in Nature by Sarah C.
Campbell, or magazines such as Ask! and
Click, and begin your journey of discovery
right here!
*Science in the Preschool Classroom:
Capitalizing on Children’s Fascination with
the Everyday World to Foster Language and
Literacy Development by Kathleen Coneczio

Getting the Most for
Your Money
"
si. «.»>" ’
Each winter, many of us gaze longingly
at travel brochures full of all-inclusive
resorts and cruises in balmier climates.
I once had the pleasure of traveling with
all my transportation, food, and
activities covered by my prepaid fees.
All I had to do was indulge to my heart’s
content. Recalling that adventure, I
realized that, for our tax payers,
Deerfield Public Library is like an
all-inclusive vacation for the mind,
complete with Master’s-degreed
“personal trainer” Librarians!
Your annual library taxes cover your
year-long enjoyment of books, movies,
and music, of course. And there is wo
extra charge for computer classes,
one-on-one lessons, musical
entertainment, cooking demonstrations,
lectures, use of our meeting spaces and
study rooms, unlimited use of computers
and laptops, Wi-Fi for all your devices,
premium-subscription databases, and so
much more. And that’s just on-site!
What music are you in the mood to listen to today? Whether it is Adele, Pharrell
Williams, Sarah Vaughan or Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Deerfield Public Library
cardholders can now download music from thousands of artists directly to their
computers, tablets, and phones.
Our Virtual Libraiy offers you all day, all
night access to many of the features
above, as well as downloadable books,
audiobooks, magazines, music, and an
expanding array of services.
The Library is offering free downloads through Freegal Music,
which provides access to over seven million songs, including
Sony Music Entertainment’s catalog of legendary artists.
Remember: There are no added fees to
ei\joy these. ALL of it is covered by your
Libraiy taxes, which account for 3.8% of
your total real estate tax bill.
With your Library card, you can download three songs a week and stream
three hours of music a day.
Songs can be transferred into existing playlists in iTunes and GooglePlay. No due
dates, no expirations - keep your songsforever■!
Are you getting the most for your money?
Stop by and let us show you all the
possibilities.
For more information and instructions on how to get started, visit

The Lowland by Jhumpa Lahiri
Monday, January 26, 7:30-8:45pm
Set in both India and America, this is a tale of two brothers bound by
tragedy, a fiercely brilliant woman haunted by her past, a country tom by
revolution, and a love that lasts long past death. Born just fifteen months
apart, Subhash and Udayan Mitra are inseparable brothers, but they are
also opposites, with gravely different futures ahead. Suspenseful and
sweeping, The Lowland is an engrossing family saga and a story steeped in
history that spans generations and geographies with seamless authenticity.
Burial Rites by Hanna Kent
Thursday, January 8, 10:30-1 1:30am
Set ainst Iceland's stark
landscape, Hannah Kent
brings to vivid life the story
of Agnes, who, charged with
the brutal murder of her
former master, is sent to
an isolated farm to await
execution. Horrified at the
prospect of housing a
convicted murderer, the family at first
avoids Agnes. Only T ti, a priest Agnes
has mysteriously chosen to be her
spiritual guardian, seeks to understand
her. But as Agnes's death looms, the
farmer's wife and dauqhters learn there
is another side to the sensational story
they've heard.

Easier than ever!
Have you had an opportunity to get cozy with a
book in one of the new easy chairs in the library?
The addition of more comfy chairs is in response
to requests received from many community
members since the Grand Reopening last
summer. Here are other examples of our
continuing commitment to listening, and making
your Library experience easier:
You asked for a more convenient library card
option. It’s here! If you have a smartphone,
you can load your card into a convenient
app, and leave the card at home.
Did you know that ALL locations in the
Library are Wi-Fi Hot Spots? And you can
print right from your device as well.
Laptop lending is now available! Deerfield
cardholders can borrow a laptop for
in-Library use.
All programs and meeting room events are
now shown on the online calendar. So
whether you are coming for a Library
program, or for your club or homeowner
association meeting, you can easily confirm
the date, time, and location from anywhere,
at any time.
Check on page 11 for more information on
these fabulous new services that will
streamline your library experience.
We aren’t done yet! We are still working to make
the Library cozier, and add the finishing touches
that will make it feel more warm and welcoming.
Changes being considered include artwork,
plants, footrests, more soft seating, and accent
lighting. Watch for these continuing
improvements throughout the year. Pay us
a visit soon.

Helping our Neighbors
Next time you drop in the Library, consider dropping off some items for the
West Deerfield Township Food Pantry. Every little bit helps, as the Pantry
relies entirely on contributions to meet the year-round high demand for
basic foodstuffs, household cleaning items, and personal hygiene products
that the Pantry provides free of charge.
The Food Pantry serves over 250 township residents each month who find
themselves in need, either on a long-term or temporary basis. Many are
seniors who live on fixed incomes, while others are families with children.
Starting March 1, you can drop off your donations in the Libraiy’s lobby
(no glass, please).
Food Pantry Wish List:
• Canned protein (tuna, chicken,
salmon, beans)
• Side dish mixes (rice, potato,
pasta)
• Toilet paper
• Paper towels
• Juice
• Canned fruit
• Soup
• Peanut butter
• Laundry detergent (small size)
The Library food drive will run from March 1 through March 23. Your
donations will be delivered to the Pantry, where bags of food and personal
items, as available, are ready for pick up on the first or third Thursday of
each month. Anyone with an urgent need for assistance, however, may call
or visit the Township office any business day.
WELCOME OUR NEW BOARD MEMBERS
The Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees recently completed
the selection process, and appointed two new members
to fill open seats on the Board. Luisa Ellenbogen and
Seth Schriftman will serve until the next election in 2015.

The Mystery ofthe World’s
Most Expensive Bottle of Wine
by Benjamin Wallace

In 1985, at a heated auction by

soon arose. Why wouldn’t the
seller reveal the exact location where it had been
found? Was it part of a smuggled Nazi hoard? Did

and cheese tasting presented by Whole Foods

By the numbers...
°’s - „o(ii“ -^ei,
Even though our stock-in-trade at the Library is words, we thought
you’d be interested to see how we’re doing by the numbers. These
statistics reflect our activity during the year we spent at the temporary
site during the renovation.
Open 69 hours a week
159,810 visits
403,762 items circulated during the fiscal year
82,422 reference questions answered for adults and children
13,920 Deerfield resident Library cards in use
108,118 books owned
22,427 e-books owned
11,090 DVDs owned
977 items loaned to other libraries
45,549 items were loaned to cardholders from other libraries
16,978 log-ons to the Library’s public computers
Although helping those in need is
always in season, the holidays offer
more opportunities for us to give back
to our communities. The Library has
been a drop-off center for TOYS FOR
TOTS for many years and we’re keeping
that tradition alive in our newly
renovated space. Drop off new,
unwrapped toys in the box in the
Library’s lobby now through December
Currently, we’re trending up in all categories, with growth most noticeable in
computer use—including in the Computer Lab, the dedicated computers in the
Youth Services area and the new express computers in the Lobby—and attendance
at Library programs. Due to the lack of space at the temporary facility (which was
about half the size of our permanent home) we weren’t able to present anything
more than book discussions and children’s storytimes during the renovation. Now
we’re going full tilt, offering more interesting and exciting programs for children,
families, teens and adults than ever before—so many that we’ve had to increase
the number of pages in this issue of BROWSING to showcase all of them. Our new
free tech classes (see TECH CONNECTIONS) with a maximum capacity of
12—which is the number of computers available in the lab—fill up almost as
fast as our extremely popular storytimes.
16th Although all types of toys for all
ages are accepted, please remember
The Board, the staff and I are happy to report that we’re busier than ever, with the
great new facilities, Computer Lab, expanded services, and growing collections.
Hope to see you soon!
The Library is also a designated
drop-off location for the Deerfield

What’s in your wallet??!
The smartest card in your wallet is now the
most flexible! Both the new adult and
children’s cards have a key tag, as well
as the familiar wallet size format, which
allows us to send you home with the item
your kids have put on hold, or vice versa. To protect
your account, the material must be checked out on the same
card that was used when the item was placed on hold. In other words, if
your spouse puts material on hold using her or his card, you’ll need that
card to pick up that material for him or her. The key tags allow you to
have a copy of the card and makes everything easy.
If you do decide to exchange your old card for the new format, be sure
to let the Library staff person who’s helping
you know if you check out e-books using
the card or use Zinio. He or she can help
you make the necessary changes.

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

Library to Have New Computer System
Continuing the library's Year
of Renewal, and the village’s ren
ovation, the library' provides a
central, cultural focus for the
Deerfield community. Many of
our adult programs this fall are
“partnering” and highlighting
Deerfield businesses, organiza
tions and individuals who make
our community richer.

Yvonne Sharpe, library board
member since 1992, will be retir
ing from her board position
because she will no longer be a
Deerfield resident. Board presi
dent Sue Benn said, “She has
been a loyal and active member
for many years and will be sorely
missed” Mrs. Sharpe chaired the
library’s building committee for
all the years of library renova
tion. She came on the board to
fill the unexpired term of Wilbur
Page and thereafter was elected
and re-elected. Sharpe’s unex
pired term can be filled by board
appointment until the 2001 vil
lage election. Anyone interested
in this temporary vacancy may
contact the library business
office.

To provide faster, better and more contemporary computer services, the library will be
leaving the computer consortium of Morton Grove, Skokie and Waukegan. This change
presents new challenges but more importantly will free Deerfield of the restrictions and
impediments of the consortium. This will allow us to present more up-to-date computer
services and access at higher speeds. It should permit wider access to books and materi
als. Specifically, the library will offer more web-based products, easier home and remote
access, better catalog access and faster and cleaner telecommunications. There will be
more service outlets and more terminals offering modem services at high speed.
We are in the process of signing a contract with epixtech, a Provo, Utah based firm,
for the next computer system which should be operational before May, 2001. This system
will supply all the familiar, easy-to-use services such as catalog searching, telephone
renewal, check out and circulation functions well known to our clients, and supply a
home page with links to appropriate library sites, full text magazine indexes and remote
access to library resources. This system will be funded through the use of Tax Increment
Financing and will not require a tax increase or bond issue.
Administrative Librarian Jack Hicks said, “We have listened to our residents’ sugges
tions and feel sure the new system will meet their needs and expectations whether they
are in the library or gaining access from home.” Library board president Sue Benn feels
“The public will be pleased with the high speed computers and new services; this is a real
step forward in providing information and web access for the community.” □

�Across the Librarian’s Desk
I once saw a cartoon of a nuclear physicist telling a classical musician that he only liked 18th cen
tury music. The response from the peeved musician was, “...that’s great, I only like 18th century
science.” Listening recently to a golden oldies radio station I was struck by the idea that maybe
popular culture is not shaped by the best a society offers but what is "remembered”— or imagined
— as the best. Is this to make us comfortable with events that might have been painful? Maybe
pop culture can’t stand critical scrutiny.
The talky disk jockey kept up a constant patter about the songs he was playing; recounting
minutiae from the rock stars’ lives, incidentals about the recording sessions, and the marvelous
night he had actually met the stars in question. The guy went on and on, yakking and playing the
music he claimed defined a generation. The only problem was my wife and 1 are members of that
generation and that was not the music we listened to at all; in fact most of his songs were nerd
anthems, or worse, just plain banal junk. Which raises the question: do we invent our past in our
own image and likeness or is it just nostalgic mythmaking? Does this shield us from a harsher
reality?
Some of the problems are that the disk jockeys aren’t old enough to have experienced these
events, or are too addled to remember them clearly. What sells and what is accepted and extolled
today becomes yesterday’s top hits. This doesn’t apply to rock and roll only, but to the big band
era as well—and I suspect all eras—equally. A look at any Variety Top 40 songs often reveals the
oldies that are so popular today—and are supposedly reflective of the times—were not at the top
of the charts, or even mainstream, at the time. The people who trade and revel in nostalgia are
more affected by time and society’s bias than they are by the absolute accuracy of the memories or
the quality of the product, (except in the case of Jack Benny)
Recent movie lists that purport to define the “best ever” movies have been so far off the mark
as to be laughable. I think any compiled list of “best” movies should only be made by people over
fifty-five years old, who have actually seen the full movie in a theatre where they paid full price to
see the film. Any film seen in a film class or at a film society should be instantly disqualified
because this all adds up to revisionist history at its worst: pop culture peddled by pasty faced, soft
handed, trendy types. These are the same people who define Stravinsky and Bartok as “modem”
music even though their works are a hundred years old. Is classical music suspect as well? Is that
why snobby aficionados walk out or snub modem composers? Could be.
Now we all know about revisionist history, how an event will change with the telling over time,
until a breakthrough historian will produce a thesis that is a direct contradiction to historical fact
and reality that somehow comes to be accepted as insight. Revisionist history ought to have anoth
er name: bad history. A recent and widespread spate of revisionist history has poured forth regard
ing the World War II generation—even to the point of being called “...the greatest generation” by
gushy writers like Tom Brokaw and Stephen Ambrose. We owe those boys a lot, but let’s not puff
up reality; the vets from WWII deserve better than that—they deserve the truth, our eternal grati
tude, and a monument in Washington, D.C.
I have always wondered how that generation would have reacted to the divisive, emotionally
charged, and morally ambivalent times of Viet Nam. Sometimes it is easier to do the right thing
when the choices are clear cut, or in fact there are no choices. A casual glance at the Viet Nam era
discloses at least a half a dozen myths or outright untruths that have grown up and thrived, perpe
trated by well meaning revisionists, which have entered our collective conscience as reality. Which
leads me back to a lighter vein, that gabby disk jockey with his comball alternative reality. We
don’t need to invent an idyllic past or create fake, artificial heroes; we have them today because
today are the good old days and they are good enough.

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

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.

with children, adolescents,
adults, and families in this
interesting field in which
psychotherapists are harnessing
art's universal language to better
diagnose and treat the disturbed.
Communicating by non-verbal
expression provides a means of
reconciling emotional conflicts
and fostering self-awareness and
growth. Join us as she illustrates
the theory.

enthusiastic parents who have
the opportunity to ask questions

Sack is an accredited member of
ACSW and has a private practice

NATIONAL ISSUES FORUMWHAT IS IT?
NIF is a non-partisan coalition
working to provide an
opportunity for citizens to
educate themselves on important
issues and have their views heard
in the policy making process.
Americans have gathered in their
communities across the nation
each Fall since 1982 to discuss
three public issues of national
concern. The reading materials,
which all participants study, are
rigorously non-partisan.
Fall 1987 Adult Programs
SELECTING THE RIGHT
HEALTH INSURANCE PLAN
Wednesday, October 7th at 7:30
pm
Citizens are being flooded
with confusing mail soliciting
enrollment in accident
insurance, hospital plans.
Medicare supplement plans,
catastrophic medical insurance
plans, and many other varieties
of health plans. They are turning
on their televisions to view
health insurance advertising
which implies financial disaster.
They are even receiving
information from their current
health insurance carriers
suggesting that they convert to a
better plan and/or subscribe to
additional plans.
Medical problems are
commonplace particularly in the
"golden years" and medical
costs are indeed costly. Having
proper coverage is important.
Everyone wants "adequate"
coverage but few really
understand what is needed or
even what is covered. Because of
this lack of understanding and
fear of financial doom, many
individuals purchase too much
developed to show all sides and
to help clarify the policy
choices. Local forums all address
the same three domestic issues, a
coordination that makes the
results of great interest to policy
makers.
This year the topics are:
1. Freedom of Speech- Where
to Draw the Line
2. The Superpowers- Nuclear
Weapons and National
Security
3. The Trade Gap- Regaining
the Competitive Edge
Non-partisan sessions
encourage airing all sides of an
insurance or inadequate plans.
Information and issues involved
in this decision-making process
of "Selecting the Right Health
Insu ranee Plan r • will be
addressed by Carolyn Shear.
Carolyn Shear earned her B.S.
and M.S.W. degrees at the
University of Illinois. She was an
instructor of Social Work in The
College of Medicine at the
University of Illinois and a
medical social worker at the
University of Illinois Research
and Educational Hospital. She
was medical assistant and
secretary to the Chairman of the
Department of Orthopedics,
Northwestern University. Three
years ago she started a health
insurance service providing
clients with complete
management of medical bills and
insurance claims. Her extensive
experience has given her insights
as to individual needs and health
insurance plans. She does not
sell insurance or have any
affiliation with any insurance
company or insurance broker.
issue and work toward some
common understandings. Those
of you who have participated in
our "Great Decisions" program,
will see the similarity but
whereas "Great Decisions" deals
with foreign policy, the thrust in
Ii
National Issues Forum" is
toward domestic problems (For
example, last year the topics
were "Crime," "The Farm
Problem," and "Immigration").
If you would like to join a
National Issues Study Circle,
please call Peggy McCabe, Adult
Services Librarian, to express
your interest. With enough
responses, we'll plan an evening
time to meet.
