Across the
Librarian's Deski
Librarians are beguiled by the idea
that they are harbingers, arbiters, and
decision makers when it comes to
taste, culture, education and all things
literary. Especially in the growth and
development of their own library's
collection and services. I am as guilty
of this as any librarian. Sometimes
events bring you down to earth.
This past winter saw the deaths of
two long-time Deerfield Library
patrons — Marion Cole and Sam Fosdick. They were both great library
users who guided us, chided us, and
led the Library to provide many of the
materials and services we offer today.

Summer Reading Club begins June 13. There will be
three groups this summer — (all grade levels indicate the
grade the child will enter in the fall):
READ-TO-ME: Pre-school through 1st grade.
EARLY READERS: 2nd and 3rd grade.
OLDER READERS: 4th grade and up.
Save the Date: August 1,10 a.m. for Discovery Day:
Games, treats, and activities to celebrate a summer of good
reading.
Both Marion and Sam knew how to
use libraries, what a library should be,
and how a librarian can mediate and
facilitate the use of the collection to
the public. They were both lifetime
readers.
Reflecting on Sam and Marion as
patrons and people makes me realize
how important and close the relation
ship is that develops between a
library, its librarians and the residents.
Librarians often forget the tremendous
impact the patrons have on what we
do, who we are, and how we do it. I
guess modern marketing would say

• Librarian's Desk (continued fromP. i)
we are client-driven. In the case of
Sam and Marion I would say we
were gently led to do our best.
Marion's influence on reference
service in this Library cannot be
overstated. She insisted on a high
level of service, interlibrary loan, and
a strong reference collection. Marion
never accepted a lame or tired
answer in lieu of real service. She
helped set our standards for refer
ence and made us live up to them.
Sam was a dapper and urbane
gentleman who expected exactly the
same high level of service. His rogu
ish but gentle sense of humor often
concealed a very incisive message.
Sam's advice about our Business Ref
erence Room has changed how that
room is organized, what we have in
there, and how the staff interprets
the collection to the public.
Knowing and working with Mar
ion and Sam for so many years was
always interesting. Many people
think a public library would be a
great place to work if you could just
keep the public out. It is wonderful
patrons like Marion and Sam who
make library work and developing
that library — its services and collec
tion — so rewarding and such a plea
sure. There are so many people who
have influenced us over such a long
period of time that it would be hard to
name them all. Libraries are indeed peo
ple places. Two of them, Marion and
Sam, both people I am glad to have
known, will be missed by all of us.

A statistic that sur
faced as we pre
pared our "Brief
History of the
Deerfield Library"
— In 1930 we cir
culated 1000 books
per month; in 1991’92, we circulated
1000 per day! Yet Deerfield Library
takes the smallest bite (2.5%) of the
Village property tax payment and
serves all ages.
***
William Cormier reports a record 250
people came to the library for free tax
assistance offered by the AARP and
the IRS this year. That's 100 more than
last year. Changes in the tax laws this
year may have prompted the increased
activity.

them in the hot sun or the hot car.

Summer 1991
DEERFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY
^.ifruvitcui
*De4j6.
Graham Greene died April 3,1991, but as
"LeMonde" said the next day, "Graham
Greene will never die... Greene has always
been a man at the dizzying brink of things
where faith wavers, spies become double
agents, love turns to sadism, and anything
can happen."
No author I can think of wrote encom
passing narrative characterizations like
Greene. His novels were defined by charac
ters and values (or lack of values) rather than
plot. Greene was a master at describing time
and place and drawing the reader straight into
the dark and perverse side of a world where
good and evil are exposed in every character.
No author identified so clearly the underclass
the world - what he termed "the torturable
'ass." No author understood the gulf be
tween rich and poor, powerful and powerless
Greene did. To me his themes were broad and
universal - not confined to, yet focused on,
healing, reconciliation and forgiveness.
Greene penned these ideas in an outline of
reverses: a world of betrayal, powerlessness,
pain, and evil with the only redeeming
dimension in life being the spiritual one. In
The Power and the Glory he presents us with
a novel of persecution and despair, yet it is a
book that completely defines the spiritual
side of man’s nature - regardless of religious
tradition.
Many books hold special moments for us,
and we revisit them to regain those pleasures,
or touch those moments. All readers have
their favorite books - my favorites are almost
all Graham Greene. The books I am recom
mending are: Brighton Rock, The
Comedians, The Heart of the Matter, The
Honorary Consul, Our Man in Havana, The
Power and the Glory, and The Quiet
American. There are so many others I suggest
you browse the shelves and read any and all
of them. I will discuss The Power and the
ory in the library’s fall book discussion.

�Non Resident Card
Fees Increase
Residents of incorporated Deerfield are
entitled to free library cards. Non-residents
who want a Deerfield card may purchase a
^m11 privileges non-resident library card for
^el50. This fee is set by the State and determined by a special formula related to
residents’ lax fees. The non-resident card fee
was formerly $125.00.
The boundaries of service for Deerfield
Library are the same as those of the village
limits - NOT related to U.S. Post office ZIP
codes or West Deerfield Township limits.
With a Deerfield card you can borrow
from any of North Suburban Libraries’
public libraries. (This may not include
videos).
F. Y.l.
Fines... As of May 1, overdue fines
were raised from five to ten cents
per day. A significant line item in
the budget, fines have not been al
tered in 15 years. The increase also
brings fines in line with what neigh
boring libraries charge. Video
overdue fines remain $2.00 a day.
Since others may be waiting for the
materials you have, we appreciate
prompt returns. Reminder: If you
lose or damage library books, there
is a non refundable cost of the item
plus a processing fee of $5.00. Un
returned video: replacement cost,
plus $20 processing fee.
A new brochure, "A Guide to
Library Services" is now at the Cir
culation Desk. This brochure was
made possible by a donation from
the Friends of the Deerfield
Library.
Donations welcome... The Refer
ence Department would appreciate
donations of Consumer Reports
magazines from the last five years.
Due to heavy use, the library’s
copies deteriorate quickly.
With the cost of books spiraling,
(average costs: nonfiction, $40 and
fiction, $25) the library appreciates
book donations, including paper
backs, in good condition. The
Townley Club of Deerfield
generously donated $250 to
replenish the library’s classics. We
also thank those who have donated
books, magazines and annual
reports.
Exhibits at the entrance to the
library are changed monthly. We
welcome your collections of inter
est, with artifacts, if they relate to
library books.________________
