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.”

COURTAULD ART PREVIEW IS DECEMBER 7
As a special holiday treat, the
Deerfield Public Library will
present a preview slide/lecture
showing of the Impressionist and
Post-Impressionist Masterpieces:
The Courtauld Collection. The
presentation will begin at 7:30
p.m. Monday, December 7 in the
Eleanore T. Dawe Room.
Through the eyes of the artists,
Lee Gibbs will present many
views of 19th century French
life with a humanistic as well as
artistic approach. The artists
specialized in animation and
flux, illuminating shadows,
heightening colors and catching
the moment. Their brushstrokes
became mist, sparkle, shimmer
and brightness.
The collection, one of the
world’s most outstanding, is on
special loan until Jan. 3 to the
Art Institute of Chicago, from
the University of London’s
Courtauld Institute. It contains
many of the most important
French paintings of the period
from 1870 to 1910. The 48
selected paintings on view
include best known and beloved
works by Manet, Degas, Monet,
Renoir, Cezanne, Seurat,
VanGogh, Gauguin, and
Toulouse Lautrec among many
others.
Lee Gibbs, guest lecturer, is a
world traveled lecturer and
photographer and contains an
enthusiasm for her subject that
has gained her a sple.ndid
reputation in the Chicago area.
This event is free and open to
the public, but reservations are
requested. To reserve space,
please notify the Circulation
Desk, 945-3311.
LIBRARY/SCHOOL COOPERATION
IS WINNING IDEA
Jack Hicks, Head of the
Reference Dept., Deerfield
Public Library, and Gerri
Spinella, Language Arts teacher
at Wilmot Junior High, District
109, co-present a program at this
years’ Midwest Federation of
Library Associations Convention
in Indianapolis. Their program,
Library Instruction for Junior
High Students, was selected as a
unique example of cooperation
between two diverse community
organizations.
For the past seven years
Deerfield Public Library and
Wilmot Jr. High have conducted
a joint research skills program.
What started out on a casual
basis has grown into a significant
learning experience for the 8th
Grade students from Wilmot Jr.
High. Librarians and teachers
alike are enthusiastic about the
success of the project, which in
the past year was nominated as a
“Winning Curriculum Idea” by
the National Association of
Professional Educators.
Students are instructed in the
use of library reference
materials, the research process,
and the compiling of
bibliographies. The goal of the
projects is to increase the
students’ library skills, assure
success instead of frustration
when the student confronts
research for the first time,
demystify the library, and make
the students feel that library
research is within their
capabilities.

“It’s great to have a genie to

fear. A richer life is a state of
mind’’ says Linda Fallucca,

peek at some before and after
photos, and consider the

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 23 NEPAL ADVENTURE
Trekking season is almost upon
us and before guide Jim
Crosswhite leaves for Nepal he
visits Deerfield to take us on an
“armchair” ride to Nepal in the
Himalayas to trek the highest
mountain on Earth. Crosswhite
has trekked for months in Nepal,
rafted its rivers, and tracked
rhino on foot all within the
shadow of Mt. Everest. You’ll
view it all here in the library.
FROM THE EXECUTIVE
LIBRARIAN......
Noreen Curulewski had been
here almost twenty years as
Head of Circulation when she
retired in September to a new
home in California with her
husband Frank.
Always optimistic and cheerful,
she was liked by staff and
patrons alike. She was here when
I came. Together we experienced
a referendum, a building
program, a move, expansion, and
the introduction of automation - - and those are just the
highlights!
She inspired great loyalty on the
part of her staff, and always gave
one hundred percent of herself
to whatever needed to be done.
We wish her the best of
everything and hope that she’ll
keep us posted on what’s going
on in her new life.

WHAT DR. RUTH FORGOT
TO TELL YOU: THE FACTS
On Tuesday, December 1,
Highland Park Hospital
obstetrician-gynecologist Doctor
Michael Benson will give a talk
at the library on basic sex facts.
He will review fertility,
contraception, sexually
transmitted diseases, and sexual
behavior. Dr. Benson says that
most adults in the United States
do not know the fertile time in a
woman’s menstrual cycle.
Sexually transmitted diseases are
becoming epidemic and teen
pregnancy rate in this country is
the highest in the developed
world. Despite all of the media
exposure, there are still
misunderstandings. A question
and answer session follows his
presentation which is open to
the public and begins at 7:30
p.m.

to Circulation Supervisor. She is
a Deerfield resident, with five
children, who has been
Circulation Clerk at the library

will also assist at the Reference
Desk. A native Clevelander, she

Library Science from Case
Western Reserve University and
has worked as a librarian in
school, academic and public
libraries. For ten years she was
Editor/ Publicist at Case Western
Reserve University Libraries
specializing in library public
relations. An active member of
the American Library
Association, she was elected
chair of the executive committee
of the 2000 member Public
Relations Section and has led
many of its committees. Most
