Library welcomes local author Harold
Gershowitz who has written an interna
tional best seller, Remember This Dream,
a saga inspired in part by the difficulties
his family faced in coming to the United
States from Eastern Europe in the early
part of the century. On the Chicago
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
a British book club. Gershowitz will talk

Be a Friend,

�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.

nity as your new
Library Director.
The Board, staff
and I seek to build
on the solid foun
dation set in place by former
Administrative Librarian Jack Hicks
and the others who have dedicated
themselves to our purpose over the years.
At our recent all-staff meeting, the staff
members and I began by reading our
mission statement together, aloud: “To
provide our community with open
access to the world of information and
ideas, encouraging lifelong learning
and personal growth in a welcoming
environment.” Each day we seek new
ways to make that happen.
Whether we continue to do this in our
present facility, or perhaps by pursuing
a newer facility to meet the community’s
needs in the future, our focus on this
mission will remain the same.
How will you make the best use of
your library—your access point to the
world of ideas and information?
Whether you enter through our glass
front doors or through our virtual portal
(www.deerfieldlibrary.org), we are
here, ready to serve your changing
interests and needs. Make yourself at

New DVD Cases Are a Snap
To help you check out items faster, the library replaced the cases on over 2,000 DVDs. The
best way to remove DVDs from their cases after you’ve checked them out and taken them
home is to open the case and press down on the center dot that says “Push.” The DVD
should pop out of the case easily without cracking.
