Scholarship Fund
Announced
The Board of Trustees is pleased
to announce that the recently estab
lished Jack Alan Hicks Scholarship
Fund is now accepting donations
from the public. This fund,
established to honor the long and
dedicated career of recently retired
Administrative Librarian Jack
Hicks, will offer annual grants to
assist Deerfield Public Library
employees in furthering their
professional development. These
grants will help DPL staff continue
to extend their expertise in meeting
the public’s rapidly changing
information-age needs.
To donate, send a check in any
amount to Hicks Scholarship Fund,
Deerfield Public Library,
920 Waukegan Road, Deerfield, IL

to the Deerfield Public Library,
with “Hicks Scholarship Fund”

www.deerfieldlibrary.org or call
Linda Shepherd at 847-945-3311.
In the first seven months of 2006, our
patrons have checked out more than
28,000 DVDs. This is 60% more than
the same period last year.
Welcome
With this issue of our newsletter, the Board welcomes our
new Library Director, Mary Pergander.
Ms. Pergander has a strong background in library adminis
tration and other leadership positions. Most recently, she
served as director of the Lake Bluff Public Library. Ms.
Pergander brings energy, leadership, organization and
communication skills plus business experience to this
challenging position.
The decision to hire Mary Pergander as the Library Director was made after a
thorough national search within the profession. She was selected from among almost
forty applicants and will be a great asset to the community.
Ms. Pergander holds an MBA from Lake Forest Graduate School of Management and
an MS in Library Science from the University of Illinois. She assumed her new position
in mid-July, succeeding Jack Hicks, who served the library for 34 years.
The Library Board and staff of Deerfield Public Library invite
members of the community to meet our new director at a public
reception on Sunday, September 17, from 2-3:30 in the
Deerfield Public Library. We hope you will join us.

Our New Library Catalog and
How to Use It.
�Across the Librarian’s Desk
This Library was founded seventyfive years ago when Mrs. F.W.
Russo opened the Library doors
for the first time on New Years
Day, January 1927. Since that
time the Library has been housed
in the Deerfield Grammar School,
next into a storefront by the old
Callner Building, then stored away in a number of base
ments and garages to be shelved in the Township build
ing, and since 1971 here at the present location. The
longevity and success of this library has been the result
of the vision, hard work and dedication of many people
over a long period of time truly a collaborative effort.
The present building was built in response to a study
done by the Deerfield League of Women Voters in 1967
which found the old library seriously deficient. In seven
ty-five years there have been five Directors: Mrs. Russo,
Mrs. Wolff, Mrs. Haney, Mrs. Whetstone and me.
There have been many defining moments since that New
Years Day in 1927 for the world, nation, Village, and the
Library. Lindbergh flew the Atlantic that year and dra
matic change has been a way of life ever since. The
library as an institution has changed more in the past fif
teen years than it did in the past one hundred and fifty.
In the span of my library career the library universe has
grown globally from the size of a single room to a reach
that encompasses every part of the world. With comput
ers, libraries moved from the 19th Century to the 21st
Century in a single leap. Library services, formats, mate
rials, and techniques have all changed, and will continue
to change. What has not changed for libraries is that at
the heart of everything we do are the residents we serve.
Many pundits have predicted the demise or death of the
library as an institution with the advent of computers
and the Internet. Our statistics, numbers, and usage here
in Deerfield do not lend that theory much credence. Our
percentage of resident cardholders, our circulation and
our reference question totals show an active clientele,
while statistics from the Youth Services Department
show a growing service population. Ttoo flourishing
mega-bookstores in our community validate this as a
neighborhood of readers. The Library has kept abreast of
current computer technology tools of access, Internet
connections, and web-based services being only some of
our services. E-books and downloaded services are just
around the corner. But books will still remain crucial to
our long range mission. Why do I say that?
Recent events like the Enron scandal with the loss of
computer data, the use of computers by terrorists, the
destruction of records in the World Trade Tower disaster,
the general impermanence and volatility of computer
stored data, the disappearance of the National Park
Service website make it clear that permanent paper
records and books still have a very important role to play
in history and in society. Until e-books are cheaper,
more inclusive in the titles they purvey, and a lot easier
to use, they will not replace books. The major break
through for e-books will come when students download
all their text and work books in a single cheap, simple,
device and throw away their backpacks. Even when that
day dawns, as I am sure it will, books will remain viable
because there is no profit to be made from converting
old books into new technology just ask the failed
Netlibrary. As everyone knows in this techno-age, profits
drive products and if libraries do not preserve our soci
ety’s culture no one else will. Remember, books were the
first solid-state, random-access memory device and
remain effective; they also don’t fail when the lights go
out.
So even at the advancing age of seventy-five the Library
stands ready to move into the 21st Century. Our staff is
trained and prepared, the formats and media are chang
ing daily, the Library will respond as it has always
responded; with hands-on personal service for our resi
dents in a professional, intelligent and literary manner.
It has been an exciting seventy-five years for libraries
and the next seventy-five will be even more so. Libraries
really are the leaders in information age technology.
Come on in and check us out!

n January 1, 1927 Mrs. F.W.
Russo, Librarian and Mrs. C.
Wolf, Assistant Librarian
opened the doors to Deerfield’s first
library. The library was housed in the
Deerfield Grammar School (which later
burned down) and was furnished with
700 books donated or purchased with
funds contributed by the citizens of
Deerfield. With no taxing power, the
original incorporators relied upon
donations from the community, led by
the Deerfield Chamber of Commerce.
In 2002, we celebrate 75 years of
serving Deerfield. Our present building
(dedicated in 1971) houses 178,857
materials, circulates 328,084 items
annually and boasts its own fast, online

John Steinbeck 100th Anniversary
Book Discussion
WE LOVE STEINBECK, Valentine’s Day,
Feburaiy 14, 10:30 am
Julio Tiritelli, Chicago high school, elemen
tary and college teacher introduces
Steinbeck’s Red Pony, The Pearl, and
Grapes of Wrath and leads a discussion on
their great literary value. Knowledge of these
books will enhance the discussion, but all are
welcome to attend.
�What can you say in the aftermath of the World Trade
Towers? That act dwarfs, in sheer magnitude, any previ
ous catastrophe to befall America. Mere words fail. A
defining moment none of us will ever forget. In the days
and weeks that followed it was clear to me that in an
important way the terrorists had failed. Instead of divid
ing and terrorizing us, that terrible day had acted to pull
us together. The flags, the universal respect for the
police and fire departments, the calm and measured
actions of the Federal government all reinforce the unity that came to us that terri
ble September morning. Those airplane disasters were intended to cripple us,
instead they united us.
What will the long term require of us? Certainly this will not be a quick and easy
campaign against a silhouetted enemy like Desert Storm. The struggle we are
embarking on is one of shadows and stealth where the force of our weapons will
not be as important as the power of our ideals for this is a war against a mindset, a
subculture, a blooded network of disaffection and hate. An enemy banded by a
hate that has been festering for years. This is a target that will not succumb to
standing still and letting us take a shot at them. Maybe more importantly this is
not a war against a country; this is a war against vengeful individuals who hate the
U.S. History really does not supply a convenient precedent for us to benchmark.
This is all new territory, this is not Desert Storm and this is not Vietnam; it could
end up being more like the Marshall Plan.
The world has changed, and not just on September 11th. It is now clear that prior
to the World Trade Towers we Americans were unaware of the depth and breadth of
the hatred arrayed against us. Certainly there are glib parallels to our tortured
attempt in Vietnam to win the hearts and minds where we won no hearts or minds.
But that was a local conflict with local goals; any domino effect was only in our
imagination.
It is clear to us that the threat of this brand of terrorism crosses many borders,
political and economic lines; and is deep seated and widespread. That these
groups can thrive in the U.S. is a product of our open society; that they can also
thrive hidden in the former Soviet Union demonstrates the power of the hate
aligned against us. Resolution of this war will not be simple; it will be complex. It
will not be cheap but there is no choice; if we fail we could face a new dark age.
There was a Greece, a Rome, a Byzantium and a Dark Age.
Will we win this struggle is a question we all ask. I am optimistic. No other country
in the world compares to us; we are generous, compassionate, energetic,
entrepreneurial, fun loving, full of opportunity, open, and decent. We have faced
difficult challenges in the past and we will face up to this one. I have thought
about WWII, a time when I was a kid. We sat by the radio, we read the newspapers
everyday, we watched the newsreels. The war was far away. Now it is close. I
clearly remember President Roosevelt talking about the Four Freedoms and why the
war was being fought. I can still recite those freedoms: freedom of speech, free
dom of religion, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. Those freedoms are
real; they still define this country.
What of our opponent? Blood, hate, politics, religion, and envy sure make
a poison soup. The heart of their values stand starkly against ours. Freedom of
speech? No such concept. Freedom of religion? Only as far as you practice their
brand of state religion. Freedom from want? Want is their universal. Freedom from
fear? Fear is the terrorist stock in trade. Unraveling this potent enemy will take
time. Will we win? You can count on it.

with the east room now that
the fiction has been moved out? Its
so empty!” (The room presently
houses videos, music CD's and cas-
D
settes, books on tape and biogra
phies.)
A top priority of Library Direc
tor Jack Hicks and the Library
Board's building committee is a re
organization of the entire main floor,
part of a five year renovation plan.
It will take some time and patience
to insure quality renovation which
makes best use of available library
space. The Board is presently issu
ing requests for proposal to several
architects familiar with library
needs.
The Deerfield Library building
is 23 years old and it has been nec
essary to examine needs and reno
vate one area at a time. Library ma
terials and services have changed in
substance and format in 25 years.
The library currently offers com
puter technology, compact discs,
video and audio cassettes which did
not exist in years past. The accelera
tion of technology also has future
implications. The library was de
signed to shelve 65,000 volumes and
is currently housing 155,000 vol
umes. With anticipated renovation
of existing space, the library should
be able to shelve almost 200,000
volumes yet return openness and
grace to our public space.

bathrooms, and lowered drinking
fountains and telephones to comply
with Americans With Disabilities
Act. Then came restructuring of
lower level space to provide a new
fiction room. The room, completed
in fall, now provides 37% more pub
lic floor space in a quiet, newly fur
nished, pleasing atmosphere.

Across the Librarian’s Desk
Cynics say there is no history and skeptics say that
if we do not learn from history, we are doomed to
repeat it. I would hope—living in the midst of the infor
mation age—that we can learn and profit from the
knowledge that is so close at hand. As we enter 1996
it appears to me that we as a people are poised on the
edge of a new age of isolationism. I mean this both as
an element of foreign policy and as a general alien
ation between us as individuals. The new-isolationists seem all too willing to replace Lindbergh, Father
Coughlin, the America Firsters and Senator Borah as
the next breed of American Know-Nothings. Maybe
the old term “Mugwump" should be revived. I think we
should look with great skepticism when politicians tell
us we should enter a new era of America First.
What we can do to reduce the distance between
us as individuals is up to us as individuals, but the for
eign policy posture of the country is a national decision
we should all be focused on. How this has happened
at a time of unprecedented global economy is beyond
me. In no way should the United States be involved in
military adventurism or act as policeman to the world;
neither can we sink our heads into the mud. We should
have learned the lessons of isolationism fifty years
ago—that wrongheaded idealists can take a noble
idea and pervert it into an enfeebled and discredited

flmi| Simon Booh Fund
rj he Amy Simon Book Fund
was started in August, 1991.
Since then the Fund has been
responsible for the purchase of over
200 books...books that the Deerfield
Library would not otherwise have
had the funds to purchase.
Amy Simon attended South Park
School, Caruso Junior High, Deerfield
High School, class of’84, and gradu
ated from Cornell University in
1988. She was a voracious reader of
all kinds of books and was a great
student of foreign languages. Amy
was fluent in French, German and
Russian by the time she graduated
college and she learned Arabic while
serving in the Peace Corps in Mo
rocco. After returning home from
Morocco in 1991, she was killed in
an automobile accident in Utah.
This Book Fund was established
to reflect Amy’s interest in reading
and foreign languages as well as her
interest in learning about people of
the world. The Fund was recently
expanded to include purchase of
books about women in history. In
side each book purchased is a label
noting that it is part of this collec
tion. This Fund has been made pos
sible by the ongoing contributions
from Amy s family and friends. New
titles are constantly being added.

these Gl’s learned all the skills and horrors of war,
exhibited enormous courage and rendered many
sacrifices. They learned about life. Their life expectancy in a combat infantry line company was
extremely short. Company C, 395th Infantry Regiment of the 99th Division, for instance, started its
war with 193 men who trained together in the
American South; by May 1945, only20of the original men were still with the unit.

Yes, these men learned a lot about war in the
months they spent in combat in Europe but the
overall lesson is stated clearly in the Epilogue of
the combat history of Company C. Wesley Peyton
writes, “In the long view of fifty years, though, it is

orty years ago in November, right after
Ike's 1952 election, my Dad put up our
Christmas tree. He was sure that my
oldest brother, fighting far away in Korea,
would be home soon and wanted the tree
there to greet him.
That tree stayed up until June of 1953. There
were so many expectations like that in
1952—with a new and trusted president
coming into office—we thought everything
was possible. Taking my tree down this
year, I was struck by those

Forty years ago that tree my Dad put up
symbolized my family's desire for peace
and tranquillity. We lived at the end of an
18 mile dirt road and you could see those
lights in our window for miles across the
snow as we came home at night. We all
wanted our favorite brother home safe,
away from deadly harm and death he faced
every day. He saw the Pusan Perimeter,
Yalu River and the frozen Chosin, and we
knew exactly what that meant. Seeing "his"
tree every day gave us great comfort.
I remember that winter of hopefulness very
clearly—and how our optimism never
faded, even as the tree shriveled. That tree
became an unsspoken magic in our house—
we wouldn't take it down because it was
somehow protecting my brother. So many
neighbors and friends had sons, who were
wounded or killed, we worried eve

�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.
