Message from the
Library Director
II is an honor to
-glsst* N
serve this commu
ft
■
\ 1
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
home here!

library encourages aspiring authors from 2nd Grade through
adult to participate.
For Adults: High School and above. Describe one of your
“Favorite Things” in a short, unpublished piece of creative
writing. The library will honor adult winners at a reading and

Vote for Your Favorite Book of the Last 25 Years
In 2006 the New York Times Book Review invited an esteemed panel to select the best
books of the past 25 years. Now the library wants to know what your favorites are. Will
you agree with the critics and put Beloved on the top of the pile? Or will a new favorite
emerge? Get ballots at all public service desks and online beginning January 2. At the
end of the month, librarians will tally your choices and announce Deerfield’s favorite
book!

arch For i\iew
Director
VA
The Deerfield Library Board
has formed a search
committee to identify a new
director for the Deerfield
Public Library. The committee
is inviting both applications
and nominations for the
position, which requires a
master’s degree in library
science from an ALA-accredited
institution, successful experi
ence in library administration,
excellent interpersonal skills,
personal integrity and a
commitment to public service.
To receive full consideration,
nominations and applications,
with salary history, should be
received no later than April 15
and should be sent to Ken
Abosch, Chair, Search
Committee, Deerfield Public
Library, 920 Waukegan,
Deerfield, IL 60015 or
kabosch@deerfieldlibrary.org
Dedicated to the fullest meeting
of the needs of his community
of library users and fellow
professionals, Jack Hicks is one
of those few masters...visionary,
imaginative, innovative,
effective- Webster’s infinite
list of appropriate adjectives is
insufficient to describe this true
master among us.
Administrative Librarian
to Retire in June
Jack Hicks, Deerfield resident and professional librarian at the
Deerfield Library for 34 years, will retire this June. Prior to his
appointment to Library Director 18 years ago, he was head of
the Reference Department.
It has been a long road of dedicated professional service for
Hicks, whose top priority all these years has been to serve the
Deerfield community by overseeing a library of which Deerfield
residents could be proud. In 1972 the library had a collection of
30,000 books. Today there are 185,000 volumes and a world of new formats and information
technology. Over the years, Hicks remodeled, renovated and managed to make best use of avail
able space so that patrons would enjoy a serviceable and attractive environment. Our remodeled
(in 1995) separate Fiction room is a testament to Hicks’s art and his devotion to books.
With honesty, sensitivity, integrity and creativity, Hicks has brought the library to the national
spotlight as one of the finest and most innovative libraries in the country. As a reference librari
an he left no stone unturned in researching for patrons. Serving the community, he opened the
library for numerous community events, not the least of which was serving 82 gallons of free
lemonade in the library every year for Family Days. In addition to repairing the building and the
computers, constructing a puppet theater and writing its scripts, Hicks provided the first online
information retrieval system in the north suburban area and instructed other communities in its
use. He instituted “librarian in the lobby” one day each month, listened to the community’s
wants and needs and responded to them. He had a vision for a 21st century library for Deerfield,
but unfortunately that failed in the recent referendum. He has always put fiscal responsibility
first, giving taxpayers the most for their tax dollar. Deerfield Library has more books per capita
than any other north suburban library, while remaining the lowest taxing body in the Village.
He is greatly admired by professional colleagues nationwide, board and staff. No question has
been too small, no hours too long, no challenge too tough. Robert R. McClarren, a Deerfield
resident and Director Emeritus of the North Suburban Library System, said, “Dedicated to the
fullest meeting of the needs of his community of library users and fellow professionals, Jack
Hicks is one of those few masters...visionary, imaginative, innovative, effective-Webster’s
infinite list of appropriate adjectives is insufficient to describe this true master among us.”
