Read Around the World
Adult and Youth Services Summer
Reading Clubs!
June 12-August 11
Librarians are fond of authors I
who are originals, one-of-a-kind,
who establish themselves by the
uniqueness of their work. Edward
Gorey was just such an author
who lived up to his apt name. A
large man who wrote small books
about obscure and often mordant
themes that featured a self-mock
ing peril: books that never failed
to entertain. Gorey began as a
self-published small press author
who graduated to mainstream
recognition through a series of
illustrated books based on bizarre
situations—swooning damsels in
distress, doomed, helpless little
children, menacing gargoyles and
rose bushes, labyrinthine hedges,
doors to nowhere—all drawn up
in an elegant black-ink Victorian
style. Dark and macabre maybe,
whimsical and poetic always. He
is widely known as the illustrator
of the PBS TV series “Mystery.”
Even if you have only seen a sin
gle Gorey drawing you will never
forget it. Gorey claimed he only
wrote about real life; if that is
true, what an odd and unique life
he led.
This is not an ode to Edward
Gorey who died in April, but a

celebration of his talent and a reflection on the
creative process. Where does imagination and
creativity come from? How does one person
embody so many ideas while so many folks have
none? Gorey demonstrated with his slim books
that it is not necessary to grind out thousands of
pages to be creative—it is the quality of the
ideas, the originality of the product, the insight of
the imagination that produces a book of lasting
interest. Gorey was in effect
Charles Dickens in
reverse—small books
versus huge books—
but the results were
the same; rich memo
rable characters and
settings that grip our
imagination.
Where do we stumble
across those qualities in today’s life?
Certainly we spend a lot of time reading popular
mass market fiction, watching movies and TV, or
surfing the internet—but in all of these, creativity
seems to take second or third place to marketing
strategy. Of course there are exceptions, and cre
ativity that sells a product is fine, but does it have
the same social worth as creativity for its own
intrinsic worth? I am afraid that our senses have
been dulled over the years so that our ability to
identify and recognize creativity when we see it
has been seriously diminished. Maybe there truly
is no market for originality; or don’t people real
ize the difference between good, bad, and boring
anymore? Worse, do we recognize brilliance
when we see it? Or, do we as a society fail to
reward creativity, uniqueness, and originality?
Gorey contrasts so clearly with formula writers
who chum out endless best sellers—yet offer no

insights, no universal enlightenment, no useful
message about the human condition, no poetry, no
real spark, no literary style. Worse, I guess, is sit
ting transfixed by internet, watching screens that
offer nothing original, in fact which resemble
slow moving electronic comic books. Internet has
yet to live up to its potential, though I am sure it
will. But will it be a power for creativity or just
commercialism? Albert Einstein said in 1939 that
“If science, like art, is to perform its mission
truly and fully, its achievements must
enter not only superficially but
jjjfrix with their inner meanings into
W®, the consciousness of people.”
1 ^ The surSe P°Pular culture
/U® veers away from that paradigm. So much of our popular culture today springs from
just those sources—mass market
v
books, TV, movies and of course the
internet. Where is the writing, the thinking,
the creativity? Please don’t tell me the best brains
of today are all in e-business because if they are,
we are in a lot of trouble as a society.What do we
have? Tedious authors writing best sellers—dim
witted and formulaic. The bottom end of TV is an
endless parade of mindless pop-culture, single
message messianic “gurus” who offer us simpleminded solutions to life’s more vexing problems.
Movies seem to be all about car chase block
busters with no scripts. All this is forgettable,
while a single Gorey drawing stays in your mem
ory forever. Talent versus no talent. In an era of
clones, Gorey proved one thing; no one can copy
him. And please WTTW—no more gurus—
aaargh!

Navy Flier Crashed
at Library Site 60
Years Ago
On Memorial Day, May 31 at 10:30
a.m., the Library and the Deerfield
Historical Society will remember
Navy Ensign Milton C. Pickens with
the unveiling of a plaque in his honor
outside at the west end of the
Library, as part of the Deerfield
Memorial Day ceremonies.
Ensign Pickens had been training as
an aircraft carrier pilot at Naval Air
Station in Glenview where, sadly, a
number of pilots were killed during
their training. The library has always
known there had been a plane crash
on its property. Recently, through
diligent research by librarian Cindy
Wargo, we have learned that it was a
U.S. Navy F4F Wildcat whose pilot,
Ensign Milton C. Pickens of
Houston, Texas crashed and perished.
Ensign Pickens, 20, won his Navy
wings in December, 1943 and
married Dorothy Prindle of Houston
the same day. Assigned to the Naval
Air Station in Glenview, he crashed
on May 26,1944. He was buried in
Houston. At the time of his death, his
stepfather and two brothers were also
in military service.

Across the Librarian’s Desk
The staff and Board are coming to the conclusion of the
long range planning process. Public hearings for input by
our residents will be held this summer.
Over the past two years, a 1000-respondent survey has
been taken, twelve focus groups were conducted,
technology has been reviewed, demographics have been
studied, service levels have been assessed, and
contemporary Illinois libraries have been visited. The Board and staff have prepared
preliminary reports dealing with these issues. Space and building needs have been
studied by Anders Dahlgren, nationally recognized library consultant, who produced
two studies. One is an assessment of the space needs for the current operation which
identified a current need for 54,000 square feet. The second study, a long range
space plan, detailed the need for a building of 70,000-80,000 square feet. The staff
reports, survey, and Dahlgren reports are available at the Reference Desk for review.
The building is currently being studied by the architectural firm of Javore and
Associates to determine what possibilities exist for the present structure and site. The
final two pieces of our planning process will be a series of public hearings for direct
input from our residents and the compilation of the strategic plan itself.
The Library is faced with limited options. The structure’s roof and structural
columns are not stressed to take the floor loading needed for book stacks, making it
expensive and difficult, if not impossible, to simply go up a floor or two. If the
Library expands horizontally, we will lose our parking and access. What the resident
survey revealed was that our residents want the following: the Library should stay in
or near the current location; a drive-through is an urgent need; bigger and better
meeting rooms are desired; quiet study space is needed; a separate area for teenagers
is called for; DVDs, video and audio products are in great demand; longer hours are
desired; parking, ingress and egress are issues with our users; and there is an
insatiable demand for more Internet and computer services.

To move ahead and find solutions to
these problems, the Library Board of
Trustees passed a resolution to
investigate the identification and
acquisition of property in the Northwest
Quadrant of Deerfield for the purpose
of Library expansion. The Board will
coordinate all actions with the Village
of Deerfield to ensure compatibility
with the Village’s Comprehensive Plan.
The Board will be announcing times
and dates for the public hearing this
summer. If you would like to
participate, please call Sally Brickman.
Watch for announcements in the
Deerfield Review and in the Library for
times and dates.

Mayo Clinic Health
Letter Donated
to Library
New president David Wolff who has served
on the Board for 15 years said, “I am
honored to be recognized by my fellow
Board members as president. I am looking
forward to working with the Board, Jack
Hicks and our outstanding staff. With so
many new library practices and electronic
advances, we are dedicated to giving our
community the finest library services both
today and tomorrow.”
The Deerfield Nurses Association has
donated to the library, a three year
subscription of the Mayo Clinic Health
Letter. This newsletter helps readers “achieve
healthier lives by providing useful, reliable,
easy-to-understand health information of
timely and broad interest”. It supplements
your physician’s advice. The current issue
will be displayed with the magazines by the
fireplace. The library is most grateful to the
Deerfield Nurses Association for their
generosity and interest in the health of
Deerfield residents.
