BROWSING
at the DEERFIELD
PUBLIC LIBRARY
920 Waukegan Rd.
Deerfield, IL 60015
Winter 1989-90
Vol. 5, No. 1
the
e *De4h
A hearty welcome to the new North
Suburban Library System Director, Sarah
Long. Sarah has had an interesting library
career, including a stint in England. She
comes to our local system from Portland,
Oregon. Sarah is quite well known in the
world of libraries, and we are fortunate to
have her as head of NSLS. I wish her all the
best in the coming years. The nice part is
that she is a Deerfield resident.
The book I am recommending this month
is Among Schoolchildren, by Tracy Kidder.
When you think of fine creative writing,
fiction is usually what comes to mind; but
I feel that some of our most creative writers
today are writing in the non-fiction tradi
tion. Four are John McPhee, Richard
Rhodes, Paul Fussell, and Tracy Kidder.
Together they have written nearly forty
books—all of them fine, creative writingall fascinating.
Some of the recent titles are: John
McPhee—Outcroppings, Rising from the
Plains, Heirs of General Practice. Richard
Rhodes—Farm, The Making ofthe Atomic
Bomb, The Last Safari. Paul Fussell—
Wartime, Thank God for the Atom Bomb,
and interestingly, a book about my all-time
favorite author, Siegfried Sasson’s Long
Journey. Tracy Kidder has back-to-back
best sellers in his books House and Among
Schoolchildren. These are outstanding
books.
Among Schoolchildren traces the yearly
accomplishments of a very uncommon
grade school teacher as she practices her
skill among seriously deprived fifth
graders. Kidder captures the daily
classroom life, the interaction of the
children and the caring that the teacher,
Mrs. Zajac, brings to each child and each
day. The Chicago Tribune described this
book as “stirring hearts and minds...in the
necessary, caring heroism of a dedicated
fifth grade teacher.
This genre of creative non-fiction is not
a new phenomenom, but these writers bring
enormous talent, style, and craft to bear on
a type of book too frequently overlooked.
I urge you to read one of their books.
Talking Books for the Reading Disabled
The Deerfield Library participates in the
Library of Congress National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped. This is a free national library
program for visually and physically
handicapped persons who are unable to
read or use standard printed material
because of blindness, visual disabilities, or
physical limitations.
The National Library Service produces
full length books and magazines on recorded disc and cassette and in braille. Special
cassette and record players are provided in
order to listen to these books. Persons who
fill out an application (signature from a certifying authority verifying their physical
difficulty is required by law) may enroll in
Deerfield’s talking book program. They
may borrow from a variety of 27,000 titles
on disc and tape, as well as over 8,000 titles
from the regional braille library.
The options include popular interest
books, best sellers, classics, mysteries,
westerns, romances, poetry, histories,
biographies, music instruction, children’s
books, and foreign language materials. Participants may also subscribe to more than
70 popular magazines in recorded format
and in braille. They may request specific
books, or may select from a variety of
catalogs. Participation in the program ineludes free, no time limit, use of the special
special playback equipment and a free talking book catalog mailed to the residence six
times a year. All of these special books on
tape go through the mail postage free.
Headphones and pillow phones are also
available.
To apply for this service, contact a
librarian or Nancy Faulk at the Circulation
Desk.
Deerfield Library’s regional source for
these materials is the Suburban Audio
Visual Service of The North Suburban
Library System.
In addition to this special National
Library Service, the library has a substantial large print book collection, and an
increasing number of audio cassette books
on tape that can be played on regular
cassette tape players. These in-house collections, of course, require only your Deerfield Library card,

library service and/or programs to the com
munity. Our 1989 library angels are: Bill
Bixby, Virginia & Nick Carter, Tom
Jester, Richard Lyon, Bob McClarren, and
Steve Neulander.
Also a note of thanks and a happy new^B

of Deerfield Public Library. Their names
are on page four.
�Staff Changes
Rick Bean, reference librarian at Deer
field Library for over four years, has left
become a reference librarian at DePaul
niversity. Mr. Bean, well known to many
Deerfield patrons, accomplished a number
of professional duties at the library includ
ing valuable assistance in the preparation of
the online catalog for public use, a Business
Resources Index and public relations
activities.
Two librarians, Cindy Wargo and Karen
Hicks (no relation to Jack) are now sharing
the position vacated by Mr. Bean. Cindy
and Karen are not new to the library as they
formerly shared part time weekend posts at
the reference desk. Both are Deerfield
residents, hold masters’ degrees in library
science from the University of Illinois, are
married and have young children. Cindy’s
past experience includes 11 years at
Evanston Public Library where she was
Head of the Reference Department. Karen
was a librarian at Maine West High School
in Des Plaines for six years, and reference
librarian at Cook Memorial Public Library
for 2Vi years.
Tom Sherman, newly appointed Head of
Building Maintenance, was a page at the
Deerfield Library for 6 months prior to his
appointment. His diverse background inudes gardening at the Botanic Gardens,
>use painting, and selling at Kroch’s and
Brentano’s bookstore.

New Software Programs
The Youth Services Department has
some new software available for patron use
on the Apple HE. Among the programs are:
“Curious George Goes Shopping” —
Children become involved in helping
George find various items on his shopping
list.
“Math Rabbit” — As they play circus
games, children develop skills in counting,
adding, subtracting and recognizing
number relationships.
“Where in Europe Is Carmen San
Diego?” — Older children will enjoy track
ing down a thief in one of 34 European
countries.
Saturday Stories
Kindergarteners and first graders are in
vited to the popular Saturday Stories which
will be held December 16 and February 10.
These sessions are similar to the preschool
storyhours but feature longer, more com
plicated stories and often a short craft
project. There will be separate registration
for each program, beginning one week
prior to the program.
An additional 100 people per month
are taking advantage of reciprocal borrow
ing arrangements of the North Suburban
Libraries. (This permits members of other
communities to borrow Deerfield books—
and vice versa.) They’re borrowing at a
rapid rate. Monthly borrowing for all items
at Deerfield continues to average a steady
22,000.
Literally hundreds of junior high
students visited the library for instruc
tion/orientation in Fall.
The library’s Harold Gershowitz
November program elicited the following
response from an attendee “This was a
great moment for me. Moment means the
hour plus spent here.’’ The charismatic
local author of best seller “Remember This
Dream” donates all proceeds from his book
to the Holocaust Memorial Fund. The book
was 10 years in the writing, in long hand
on a legal pad during weekends.
Need a tax write off? The Youth Ser
vices Department needs used blenders,
computers, and record players in working
condition for future programs.
