Message from the
Director
Bravo, Judy Hortin!
Our steadfast Head
of Reference, Judy
Hortin, is retiring
after nearly twenty
years of dedicated
service to our com
munity and library.
Never one to draw attention to herself,
Judy wants to slip quietly out the door
without fanfare. Nevertheless, we know
many of you will miss her nearly as
much as we will, so we pay special
tribute to her in our newsletter.
Thank you, Judy, for the strong
example you have set of excellent
service and professionalism.
“A person’s a person,
no matter how small. ”
— Dr. Seuss, Horton Hears a Who!
r.
s4tx\
“There are no small questions. ”
— Judy Hortin
When Judy Hortin retires from her
position as Head of Reference at the
end of the summer, it’s the stories of
the people she’s worked with and helped,
not the ones printed in books, that will mean the most to her.
“What I’ll miss most is the mix of working with people and the intellectual
stimulation of the brain. I really eryoy being around people who care about
the same things that I do—cultural pursuits,” said Hortin.
Iron Chef Deerfield
Which teen’s cuisine
reigns supreme? Iron
f
Chef Deerfield, a
cooking competition
for high school stu
dents based on the
popular TV show, pre
mieres at 2 p.m. on October 18. Six teams of
teens (up to three per team) will show off
their improv cooking chops to a live audi
ence. After learning their surprise ingredi
ents, these budding chefs will have one
hour and access to the Library’s extensive
cookbook collection to plan and prepare a
meal to serve our discerning tasting panel.
This program is part of the American
Library Association’s Teen Read Week,
“Books with Bite.” All materials will be
provided by the Library. Space is limited,
so please call (847) 945-3311 ext. 19 to
reserve your place.
■>
Fortunately for Judy’s coworkers, her definition of culture is a broad one.
One of Judy’s most lasting contributions to Deerfield Public Library’s cultural
archive will be her fearless, and often funny, song stylings—a children’s
classic at the holidays, custom lyrics to a popular tune, some Civil War ditty
that she claims she dug up while answering a reference question.
Library Director Mary Pergander thanks Judy for “the strong example she has
set of excellent service and professionalism.” Judy’s patience, kindness, sense
of fun, and passion for helping others will remain models for all who had the
great joy of working with her.
Coming Soon: Live Homework Help!
The Library will offer Tutor.com, which provides trained and trusted
tutors to provide individual assistance to students of all ages online.

soys and Girls Read
A concerned parent remarked that we
seemed to be favoring boys over girls in some
recent youth programming. Temporarily, that
was true. We received grant money to pro
mote reading among boys, based on evidence
that some boys need focused assistance to be
strong readers. The grant and additional local
funding allowed us to offer several boy-target
ed reading programs. We are delighted that
many girls have requested extra attention,
too, and we now offer reading clubs for girls,
as well. And of course, both boys and girls
ei\joy reading to our furry, four-legged K-9
Reading Buddies each month. For more infor
mation about reading programs for girls

Classes!
To use the catalog to best advan
tage we encourage you to attend
an introductory class with Judith
Hortin, Head of Reference at any
of the following times:
Thursday, December I, 7 p.m.
Saturday, December 10,11 a.m.
Wednesday, December 14,10 a.m.
My first Boy Scout Handbook had a pic
ture of Ted Williams in it, kissing his bat.
Dynix At
Your Service!
Our “mascot” butler welcomes you
to the new Dynix computer sys
tem. We officially went online with
our new system on November 1
and patron reactions are positive!
The colorful new screens replace
our “old” GEAC computer catalog
and circulation system which
served us well for almost 10 years.
(We eliminated our card catalog 6
years ago.)
The faster, more powerful sys
tem continues to be in a consor
tium with Skokie, Morton Grove
and Waukegan Libraries. The
Dynix system is very “user
friendly” and flexible, with
- wider access promised
in the future. This
should include
access to numer
ous periodical indexes, community
resource File, gateways to remote
databases and access to Internet.
We anticipate a smooth adjust
ment and appreciate your patience
in accepting and becoming com
fortable with the new system.
What a man Teddy Ballgame was—a real
hero to all of us kids. The last .400 hitter. In
modern life, all of our shared experiences
come from the media. I didn't know Ted
Williams, I just thought I did. That basic con
tradiction gives dimension to our difficulty in
separating fact from fiction. We have all just

Wednesday, January 18, 10 a.m.
Thursday, February 9,7 p.m.

Wednesday, February 15, 10 a.m.
We would appreciate your signing
up in advance for these classes. As
always, librarians are happy to
assist you in using the catalog.
watched Ken Burns’ nine-installment baseball
TV series tell us that baseball is the perfect
metaphor for American life. That the game
reflects us for good or ill, and that baseball
could only be an American game. A charm
ing TV series but a flawed theory.
Reflecting on the 1994 baseball strike that
ruined the best season in- years—the only one
in ninety with no World Series—I could be
inclined to agree with Burns, only in reverse.
Baseball as a perfect metaphor for American
life: grasping, greedy, selfish men lacking in any
semblance of culture, with no knowledge of his
tory. Those who grab mopey without regard for
others, the eventual outcome of a project, or
even how it looks to the outside world. That

these base instincts are the fibre and
substance of American life is something I
do not believe. Americans at our worst,
not our best, ruined the season of 1994.
After twenty-one years of providing
library service to Deerfield residents in a
real- life not a fictional setting, I have
found Deerfield residents to be none of
the above. In contrast, I have seen that
their hearts and minds are in the right
place. 12,700 cardholders in a village of
17,000 tells me this is a community of
readers, intellectually alert, aware of poli
tics, socially concerned, involved with our
kids, and philosophical in outlook. Social
projects, caring about others, and a long
view of history characterizes the people I
know in this town. Is Deerfield a micro
cosm of the rest of the country? I think
so. Is that a metaphor that would ruin the
baseball season of 1994? I think not.
But it has also been my experience
that events in our lives, large and small,
are often shaped by what is worst, not
what is best, for us. Mean- spiritedness
and disparity often come to the fore and
win out in decision making. Wronghead
edness often shouts down reason and
important decisions can be based on
caprice and whim, and only our hindsight
is perfect. Maybe the men who ruined the
1994 season did mean well but by a mis
guided attempt achieved something
nobody wanted. That everyone could sit

of. A group of anti-intellecutal, small-mind
ed nobodies with a lot of money wrecked
the season and we all yawned. It is said
that humor is the only trait that separates
man from the rest of the animal kingdom
and that it protects us from catastrophe.
Sometimes it’s hard to laugh.
The book I am recommending this
month is The Lawyer’s Chambers by
Lowell Komie. This collection of short sto
ries is Lowell's third book and I recom
mend it highly. If you haven't read Lowell
Komie you are missing one of the best of
today's writers. Mr. Komie is not just a
good writer, or a talented one, Lowell is a
great writer whose stories touch at the
heart of all of us. Lowell writes in a very
difficult genre to master—the short story;
when he succeeds, which is often, he
rewards us all with his art.
