David Wolff
Deerfield Public
Library D'listee,
1989 to 2007
Photo by Barbara Struthers
The Library Board and staff were
saddened to learn of the passing of
one of the Library’s friends and
strongest supporters, David Wolff.
David Wolff served as a Deerfield
Public Library Trustee for 18 years.
He held the offices of President,
Secretary and Treasurer.
Current Library Board president
Ken Abosch said, “I think Dave’s
major accomplishment for the
Library was his extreme focus on
the physical side of the facility. He
was instrumental in monitoring
the well-being of the HVAC system,
the roof, elevators, and other
aspects of the building. He always
weighed in on any maintenance
contracts and/or remodeling work
efforts that had to be done, given
his practical knowledge of raw
materials and his knowledge of
contractor practices. As a result,
he also was very actively involved
in the remodeling of the Fiction
room, the Youth Services room,
and the First Floor.”
Dave will certainly be missed. His
cheerful laughter still rings
throughout the Libraiy.
Board Reports on Library Space Needs Study
As Chair of the Long Range Planning Committee, I am pleased to bring you up to date
on the recent architectural study of our current building and future space needs.
In late June, representatives of the architectural firm PSA-Dewberry presented the
Library Board with an assessment of the current building and suggestions for future
improvements. The study included “peer library benchmarking”—comparisons with
similar library facilities—as well as community focus groups, staff input, and a
thorough evaluation of the physical plant and its mechanical, electrical, and other
systems. While our building has been well maintained, it no longer meets code, and
community members continue to comment on its “tired” appearance. Most importantly,
the study revealed significant structural, space, and acoustical problems, as well as
serious parking concerns.
Responding to the Board’s request for need-based, cost-efficient ideas that could help
us improve our library, PSA-Dewberry’s report included recommendations to relocate
the entrance to the northwest corner of the building, expand the east and west portions
of the building by about 5,000 square feet each, reconfigure interior space to increase
flexibility and meet changing patron needs, and address parking concerns. The
architects estimate that such a project could cost $12 to $15 million. While it is
important to note that these recommendations do not constitute an actual plan, but
rather a sort of “you are here” needs assessment, we are excited to share them with
Deerfield residents and eager to solicit feedback on this report. We understand that
public input, as well as ongoing collaboration with the Village, Park District, and other
community leaders, is of critical importance in any improvement process we undertake.
With this in mind, the Board of Trustees will solicit your ideas and opinions at a public
forum to be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday, September 22. Because the library does not have
a meeting room able to accommodate the number of community members who might
wish to attend, the forum will be held at the Patty Turner Senior Center, 375 Elm St.,
Deerfield. Please call Libraiy Director Mary Pergander at (847) 945-3311 for more
information. If you plan to attend this presentation and discussion, please register in
advance at www.deeifieldlibrary.org under “Programs & Classes” or call (847)945-3311.
We hope you will join us!

opening. Gracing the free standing
wall, is the still life by Vilato
(a cousin of Picasso) donated to the
library in 1971 by Sara Lee.
Ceiling, with modified crown moul

Library Staff
Cindy Wargo has been appointed a full time
librarian at the Deerfield Library’s Reference
Desk. Familiar to many, she has worked part
time in Reference for almost 10 years. Cindy
holds her Masters
Degree in Library
Science from Uni
versity of Illinois
and was Phi Beta
Kappa as an under
graduate at Denison
University. For 11
years she worked for
Evanston Library in
positions ofcataloger,
reference librarian
and Head of Reference. She lives in Deerfield
with husband Jon and daughter Amy. Cindy
has many hobbies, but particularly enjoys the
“detective work” of tracking down answers
to challenging reference questions!
Julie Sowles is Acting Head of the Youth
Services Department. Sally Margolis, former
department head, has left her position to live
in another state.
Neiu Video Rules!
As we head into the winter months, you can
anticipate borrowing videos from the library
collection free of charge, exceptfor newerfea
turefilms. The library board voted to permit
Deerfield cardholders to check out older fea
ture films, childrens, travel and subject vid
eos free for two days. Overdue fines will be
fifty cents per day on these. New feature films
will still cost $ l but for only a two day check
out period and SI a day fine if overdue. It is
not possible to give an exact starting date,
since the computer system must be repro
grammed to accomodate the new loan pro
cedure. As always, you must be 18 or older
to check out videos.
The Young People's Summer Reading Club
was a “tree-mendous” success, as 801 readers
participated. 55 S’T“A"R‘ volunteers helped
librarians, and PALS were reading buddies
with young readers.
The Solve Mysteries-Read! Adult Reading
Club attracted 160 busy readers. Their suggested readings will be shared in handouts
this fall.

Gershowitz who has written an interna

Tribune Best Seller list, his book has
recently been selected to receive The
Chicago Friends of Liturature award for
fiction. It will also be a leading selection of

�Aviate' *76e
When I was a lot younger, and working
at a summer resort job, I lived in a lake cot
tage where Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald
had spent the summer season following
the publication of This Side of Paradise.
Like many Minnesotans, I was very proud
and awed by the local authors-Sinclair
Lewis and F. Scott Fitzgerald. To live in
the same house (it is still there) was very
romantic and exciting. At that time I had
read all of Fitzgerald’s novels and many of
his magazine pieces. I have recently
reread This Side ofParadise and Tender is
the Night and find that Fitzgerald’s literary
hold on me is as strong and lyrical as ever.
Another Minnesotan, Charles
Lindbergh, has always held a fascination
for me, (though I enjoyed his wife-Anne
Morrow Lindbergh’s books more) and I
recently reread his 1953 book, Spirit of St.
Louis. It is so much superior to the j
revisionist histories, like the puerile 1977
Lindbergh Alone, by Brendan Gill. As a
middle aged adult I was even more moved
and touched by the lucid and enigmatic
Lindbergh than I was when I read that
book in my twenties.
It is interesting to contrast the two Min
nesotans. Lindbergh was slightly the
younger of the two; he rejected the values
of monied society, yet moved within the
society that Fitzgerald was desperate to
penetrate. Fitzgerald craved and lived on
publicity but could not control it;
Lindbergh shunned publicity yet used it
with professional ability when it suited his
purpose. Fitzgerald wrote of the upper
leisure classes and the human universal
he so poetically perceived. Lindbergh had
a great grasp of the ethereal, the
mysterious and the aesthetics of the
natural world. Fitzgerald died young and
rejected; Lindbergh lived through a
period of public rejection to lead a
productive and very interesting life.
To get to the point, I highly recommend
you read (or reread) both of these fine
authors if you have not done so recently. |
The contemporary book I am recommending this month is A Fann Under a
Lake, by Martha Bergland, a well told
story of two Illinois farm families and their
attachment to the land. Strong women
characters define this novel of the plight
of the modern farmer in competition with I
economic realities.
