Message from the Director
It’s the little things...
Can you guess the patron
comment I receive most
often? It is the request
for drive-up book drops
outside the Library. In
writing, via phone, or
email, even at social or
business gatherings, someone always mentions
this highly desired convenience. Well, our
Library Trustees and staff members have heard
this request loud and clear, and found a way to
provide it. By the time you read this, there
should be two drive-up drop boxes near the front
entrance to the Library—one for books, and one
for all types of audio-visual materials. I look
forward to receiving your comments about them!
We continue to listen. Our Board members
are going to be available in our lobby and other
public places such as the Farmers Market from
time to time. We hope you’ll stop by and
say hello.
We soon will be holding public sessions to
solicit your feedback about the findings of the
space needs and architectural review of our
building. This will be the opportunity for
residents across the community to have a
voice in the future plans for the Library. Please
consider participating.
We know it takes time to turn dreams and
ideas into reality, so we continue to test ideas
and learn from them. One example is the Teen
area we are creating, adjacent to the
Multimedia collections. We will use what we
learn there to plan even better spaces and
services for teens in the future.
Here is one thing you won’t have long to
wait for—at the end of the summer we will
launch our new automation system. More about
its features and conveniences are detailed in
this edition. We think you’ll be amazed! Our
staff members will help you test-drive the
system at the Library or from home, so you can
make full use of its features.
We are constantly looking for ways to serve
you better. We hope you believe we are
succeeding.
New Library Catalog Helps You Find Your Way!
Find everything you need in the Library’s new
online catalog of books, movies, magazine
articles, and more. The new catalog “goes live”
on August 18. Whether you are in the Library or
surfing from home, you can er\joy this fast, easy
resource on any computer at any time.
The new catalog looks and acts much like what
you find on your favorite retail sites. You can
see book covers and reviews, ei\joy one-click
searching of other area libraries, and sign up to
receive alerts when new items of interest arrive
at the Library. We want to reward your explor
ing. Beginning August 18 you can use your Deerfield Public Library card to
enter an online drawing for a GPS navigation system. If you haven’t used your
Library card in a while, you may need to re-register at our Circulation desk.
Please bring one piece of identification with your current address and we’ll be
happy to update your account.
In order to successfully move from one catalog to another, the Library will be
closed all day Sunday, August 16 and Monday, August 17. Please do not return
materials between Thursday, August 13 and Thursday, August 20. Loan periods
will be extended on all items that would normally be due during that week.
Architectural Review Progress Report
The Deerfield Public Library Board has engaged PSA-Dewberry, an
architectural and engineering firm, to evaluate our current Library and
report the findings to the board and community. The process includes:
• assessing the current building structure and systems,
• conversing (focus groups) with representative members of the community,
staff, and board about perceived current and future needs,
• evaluating space needs and trends in libraries, and
• comparing our library building, staffing, circulation and other key
measurements with peer libraries serving similarly sized populations.
A preliminary report of the building found that the structure appears solid,
although the building systems need significant upgrades or replacement. In
addition, building codes have changed since the 1970s when the current
Library was built. The architects expect to finish the current space needs
assessment and report to the board, staff, and community by summer. We
plan to hold public sessions to review the architects’ findings and recommen
dations, and to solicit your feedback. Afterward, the Library Board will
determine any next steps that may take place.

New Look for Library
Web Site
According to a new study, Americans spend an average of 32.7
hours a week online. That’s why we’ve redesigned the
Libraiy’s ‘Virtual branch.” It’s now easier than ever for you to
use Library resources when you’re online. The new web site
features an updated calendar of Library events; recommended
web sites for adults, teens, and children; lists of bestsellers
and award-winners that take you directly into the Library’s
catalog; and online forms for asking a librarian a question.

�Message from the
Director
You’ve spoken,
and we’ve lis
tened and made
changes. If
there is a
theme to this
newsletter
issue, that is it!
Many of you have expressed frus
tration in the past over our fee
structures, limits on materials, and
renewal limits. Well, we have
dropped some of these and loos
ened up others (although they
aren’t all gone!) The goal is to give
you more of what you want and less
of what you don’t want. Read about
these changes on the front page.
We have also launched a new web
site, designed to help you find what
you are seeking more easily. We’ve
added many new features, and
more are yet to come. We hope
you’ll agree that this is a big
improvement!
During the summer months, watch
for some colorful, comfortable new
additions to the furnishings in the
Youth Services department. A few
similar touches may appear in
other departments, as well.
Although we are planning substan
tial interior improvements for the
future, we realize that a few
updates will brighten the Library
and make coming here more enjoy
able. We want to help build antici
pation for the other positive
changes to come!

In the early 1990s, the Simon family began
a memorial fund for the Library, in honor
of their daughter Amy Simon. The funds
were used primarily for certain types of
children’s books and to promote reading
for children. The fund grew over the years
as other family members contributed.
Although the fund was terminated in 2006
many children’s books continued to
receive the memorial nameplate. Today,
there are dozens of these titles. To show
appreciation for the Simon family’s gen
erosity through the years, the Youth
Services department recently created a
special display of some of the Simon Fund
memorial books, which are available for
check-out. The display, updated regularly,
will run through May 2008.

Message from the Director
Some folks say that
winter is the dull
season, but not at
Deerfield Public
*
Library! We’re
ablaze with all the
possibilities we envi
sioned when our Library Board and
management team met recently to dis
cuss service expectations and emerging
trends in society. Now, we are using
what we learned to plan for an exciting
transformation.
■
One trend we are addressing is the desire
for convenient, personalized services. You
want your library resources and services
available when you need them, not just
when we are open. Now, you can place
your own holds, request e-mail notifica
tion about library materials, and down
load e-audiobooks. You can even have
program updates, new titles in your
choice of interests, and the New York
Times Bestseller List e-mailed to you! Not
sure how? We’ll be happy to get you started.
We shared the news about new Library
services this fall at many community
events. A presentation to the Chamber of
Commerce, booths at Community Services
Day and the 50+ Expo, visits to the high
school, and support of Arts & Riverwoods
are just a few examples of our ongoing
involvement in our community.
Throughout this newsletter you’ll read
how partnerships with local organizations
and businesses also have helped create
new grant opportunities and a communi
ty-wide book discussion. We aren’t just
joiners—we’re doers! Invite us to YOUR
next community event!

New Year’s Evolution
What have we resolved to do even better in the New Year? The Deerfield Public
Library wants to exceed your expectations! We are creating new ways to serve
the community, and we’re enhancing the Library collections and services that
you and your families tell us you love. Some of the innovations you will notice
right away are an expanded Multimedia department, “Reading Warriors: A Guys
Read Program” for boys in 3rd - 5th grade, and “One Book, One Zip Code,” a
community-wide reading program for adults.
Multimedia Department
Did you know that Deerfield Public Library patrons checked out almost as many
discs and DVDs as books last year? The Library is responding to this demand for
audiovisual materials by increasing staff and services in its new Multimedia
department.
You’ll find
• More staff members specially trained to
answer your questions about movies,
music, and more
• Reclassified CDs to make finding the
right items easier than ever (Next, we’ll
reclassify the audiobooks and separate
them into fiction and nonfiction.)
• New formats—including *Wii games,
*Playaways, and *downloadables
• Multiple copies of popular items
• Musical scores and media-related
magazines
*MediaSpeak
Wii: Nintendo’s most recent video
game console, distinguished by its
wireless controller
Playaways: Portable MP3 players
preloaded with one audiobook each
Downloadables: Text or audio files
that can be downloaded to your
computer and enjoyed at home or
transferred to a portable device
Reading Warriors: A Guys Read Program
Girls continued to outperform boys in reading this year, according to a recent
national study. Deerfield Public Library wants to address that trend and encour
age reading and library use among elementary school boys next year, with pro
grams and services supported by a Library Services and Technology Act grant of
$2,876. The Library will use funds awarded to “Reading Warriors: A Guys Read
Program” to survey boys in 3rd—5th grades on their reading preferences; offer a
workshop led by an expert on boys’ literacy for parents and teachers; and
increase the number of “boy-friendly” books, booklists, and programs the Library
provides.
�Adult Programs
Programs are free and open to the public. Please register in advance by calling 847-945-3311.

Dear Neighbor:
This past year, a group of volunteers formed The
Friends of the Deerfield Public Library, a not-forprofit organization dedicated to enriching the
library’s materials, services and programs. Our
first project is to raise $1,200 to purchase
Playaways, ready-to-go digital audiobooks which
are about the size of a deck of cards.
Our group has been involved in several activities
to establish our presence in the community. To
introduce ourselves to the community and provide
information about our group, we assisted the
Library with several of their events. We maintain
the book spinner at the Deerfield Train Station,
which has provided hundreds of free used books
to commuters. In September we had a booth at
the Farmer’s Market and at Deerfield Community
Days. In addition, we recently assumed responsi
bility for the sale and maintenance of the
ongoing used book sale at the Library.
Please help us in our efforts to assist the
Deerfield Public Library by becoming an annual
member of the Friends for $15 or more. We
welcome and appreciate all donations. Your gift
is tax-deductible as allowed by law.
THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND OF THE
DEERFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY!

Income Tax Forms
Why was the Library closed?
A limited number of the most-used tax forms
for individuals will be available in the Libraiy
beginning in January. Get all federal forms at
imw.irs.gov or by phoning 1-800-TAX-FORM
(1-800-829-3676). Get all Illinois forms at
iwow.tax.illinois.gov or by phoning
1-800-356-6302. Small-business owners and anyone
needing multiple copies of forms should place
orders directly with the federal or state govern
ment for home delivery. Income tax assistance will
be available from IRS-trained AARP volunteers at
the Library from 1 - 4 p.m. on Tuesdays and
Fridays from February 1 through April 15.
We realize it is inconvenient for you when we are
closed and you need us. From time to time, we
close in order to provide staff training that can
help us better serve you. For example, last June
we learned about fire safety and practiced using
fire extinguishers! In October, all employees had
an orientation to our basic reference services and
also learned the steps we will follow to transition
to a new automation system next year. We try to
keep closures to a minimum and to use the time
wisely in ways that ultimately will benefit you.

You know you should be respectful of your wornout U.S. flag, but what do you do with it? Bring it
to the Reference desk of the Library, and we will
give it to Boy Scout Troop #150. The scouts will
dispose of your old flag properly in accordance
with the Flag Code.

Message from the Director
Summer Circus
fj
Memories
- X--" ’
As a child on my
first visit to the
circus, I was
awestruck by
assaults on my senses—swirling colors
and panning spotlights, calliope music,
cotton candy liquefying sweet on the
tongue, rough elephant skin and satiny
costumes, and of course the pungent
smells of circus animals! Returning
with my own child thirty years later, it
all came rushing back as we neared the
door, tickets in our hands and excite
ment in our hearts.
Fast-forward to this summer: our
Library staff is finding so many creative
ways to bring the circus to life through
our summer reading programs. While
we can’t quite bring all the excitement
of the circus to you this summer, we
can offer you music from all corners of
the globe, exotic animals leaping off
the pages into your imagination, and
stories and events to stir your senses
on all levels, whether you are an adult
or a child. Just as circuses bring it all
together under the Big Top, so libraries
bring it all together under one roof!
(And sometimes libraries even have a
Big Top, as you will find in our Youth
Services department this summer.)
You can’t take the circus home with
you, but much of what we offer can
be enjoyed anywhere you are this
summer! So, come and make wonderful
libraiy memories a part of your
summer.

�Across the Librarian’s Desk
/ \ s I began to write my last newsletter column, 1 could not help but reflect over the past thirty/\ \ four years and remember all the issues—collection development, remodeling, money,
/__\ \ sendees, programs, puppet shows, computers, boilers, leaking roofs, long-range plans,
ji
j \ carpets, sewers, ballast resistors, 4th of July lemonade, stalled elevators, leaking pipes,
JL. A freon leaks, and electrical fires—that I have been involved with for all those years. A lot
of tasks not dissimilar from the myth of Sisyphus—working away at the big and little projects every
day for 34 years and realizing that the work is never actually finished but is always a work in progress.
A work we can always improve. It is important to remember that a library is a dynamic organization
and that if it remains static, it fails. An untended library is merely a room full of books, not a function
ing library7—and it will not be a busy place. There are always a hundred and one jobs, repairs, projects,
enhancements, and changes taking place. The Library currently needs more than a few fluffy chairs and
a coat of face paint. As I look forward to retirement in June, I realize that there is a lot more heavy
lumber that needs to get hauled.
The options for the future of the library are not infinite, nor can they be delayed to the time when the
memory of man runneth not to the contrary. They boil down to some simple choices: 1. Remain in this
building as is and replace or repair the infrastructure. This will cost more than several million dollars.
2. Add on to this building. 3. Build a new library on this site. The work of the consultants (space needs
studies, 1000 respondent resident survey, and a handful of other reports that were done in 2002, 2003,
and 2004) amply demonstrated the capital needs of this library, which remain valid today. The options
are not equal, nor do they all really support adequate library service, and my concern is several of them
are too costly for the miniscule return on the investment. Add to this mix District library concerns,
rapidly evolving computer products, the Internet, and you can see the Board of Trustees have a full
plate before them.
What is necessary for those of you who recognize the needs of the Library is to support this Board as
they move forward. Help them reorganize the Friends of the Library, build consensus and spread the
Library message to all the residents. Support for your library is what is needed most as we move to the
future. It is also very important to remember that, through the efforts of Treasurers like Tony Sabato and
Bill Seiden, this Library has always operated within a balanced budget and is the lowest-taxing entity in
the Village—open more hours and serving more residents than any other.
The failure of the Library referendum constrains a logical and normal growth path for the Library,
leaving limited options. The property to the north is no longer available. What will help the Library
most to succeed is community support, resident involvement, and constructive dialogue. It is important
to remember that nothing innovative was ever done without risk and that nothing worthwhile was ever
easy. There is a lot of tree felling and hauling yet to be done. I encourage all of you library users, who
know and use the library7 daily, to step up and help the new director and the Library Board—and I urge
you to be resolute. You know you need a library now more than ever and have told us clearly you want
it in exactly the same location. Services cannot be expanded, or even maintained at present levels,
without substantial capital improvement.
I end my 34 years in Deerfield June 30th. It has been a great run for me personally and professionally.
Libraries have changed more in the past thirty years than in the past three hundred years. Deerfield was
always at the cutting edge of those changes and developments. Personally, I have raised my family in
Deerfield and made many great lifetime friends. I have a lot of plans for the future—travel, volunteer
work, kayaks, motorcycles, and building projects. I am proud to have been Deerfield Library Director
number five and wish my successor, number six, all the best. The Library’s Deputy Director, Sally
Brickman is also retiring from full-time work. Sally has been my partner, the Library’s creative force,
and friend for over twenty years and it is a partnership I treasure. I will miss the Library and our resi
dents more than words can tell; people have always been the joy of my job. Thanks for the memories.

Space StrugglesNew Services
As
librarians in each department are struggling with
space limitations of our current library, we are doing our best to
keep the collection up-to-date and organized, without overflow
ing, and make the best use of space while still providing some
new services in response to user requests.
The new services are
• Language learning ONLINE (for home use only). The
library has added the Rosetta Stone language learning soft
ware to its list of databases. You use this interactive language
learning product from your home computer (you cannot use it
at the library)! learning at your own pace with no tapes or
CDs to return to the library.
Aimed at the traveler, these Rosetta Stone courses include
French, German, Italian, Russian, Spanish, English (UK) and
English (US). You can use the English course to improve your
skills in your own language. The language immersion method
emphasizes speech and is a fast way to leant a language. You
match an image to a spoken word or phrase.
' Number 2
• More Internet computers...streamlined sign-up...relocation
of library catalogs. Starting in fall, there will be three more
Internet computers (making a total of nine) in the Adult
Reference area better to meet the demand within the available
space. Some library catalogs will be relocated to kiosks more
convenient to the stack areas. The Internet computers in Youth
Services will be dedicated to children and their parents or
caregivers.
A new collection of video games for Playstation 2 and
X-box console systems! Deerfield cardholders will be able to
check out these titles for one week. Some of the new titles
purchased include Halo, Lord of the Rings, Prince of Persia,
Ninja Gaiden and X-Men. In the coming months we shall be
adding more titles to keep up with the growing demand for
these titles. Borrowing is limited to 2 per family until the
collection grows. Children under 18 must obtain a parental
permission slip (different from the video permission slip) at
the Circulation Desk for the games.
Go to the library’s website (www.deerfieldlibrary.org) and
click on “Online Databases.” Scroll down and click on
“Rosetta Stone.” You must make up and enter your own
user name and password, then enter the bar code from
your Deerfield library card as the registration code. You
must enter user name and password each time you use the
product. Instructions will guide you through. Rosetta Stone
offers free technical support by e-mail, fax and telephone.
Studying in the library is easier with our lightening-fast wireless
internet. Bring your laptop and enjoy this library service.

�K.LD.D.O.S. Raises Money
for Library
Deerfield’s energetic Sue Vani, mother of two young children and
Lincolnshire first grade teacher, decided that young children need
ed to learn about philanthropy and that even pre-schoolers needed
to find a way to give back to their community. She came up with
the idea of K.LD.D.O.S. (Kids in Deerfield Doing Outstanding
Service). Their first annual event was a very
successful talent, fashion and art show July 21 at Deerfield’s First
Presbyterian Church. Highlights included an Elvis impersonator
(Kevin Mell, age 8) and hula dancers (Molly and Caroline
Nakahara, ages 7 and 3). Kevin Quigley of Cherry Pit fame
volunteered to emcee, and all proceeds from the show (which also
included a raffle, artwork and crafts) were donated for toys for the library’s Youth
Services Department. Vani said about $1000 was raised and already used to pay for a
new train set, dollhouse, puppets, puzzles and more.
Library Board News
At the spring library board of directors meeting,
the officers were re-elected to their posts for
another year. They are President, David Wolff;
Secretary, Ron Simon and Treasurer, Jeff Rivlin.
Other board members include Ken Abosch, Jeff
Blumenthal, Sheryl Lamoureux and Sunday
Mueller. Their phone numbers and e- mail
addresses appear on page four, should you wish
to contact any of them. Each month the trustees
are holding “Librarian in the Lobby” to discuss
library issues informally with the public. Open
library board meetings are held at 8 p.m. the
third Wednesday of each month.
THE MISSION OF THE
DEERFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY
is to provide our community
with open access to the world
of information and ideas,
encouraging lifelong learning
and personal growth in a
welcoming environment.
Vani’s friends Danielle Pedderson and Marla Callistein helped Vani organize the very
successful event. Their goal this year was to attract children to the library and provide
activity for their younger siblings that would lead to a pleasant library experience. The
library staff is most grateful to Sue, her adult helpers and the children who made it
possible.

In Memoriam
The Library staff was saddened to learn of the
death of John A. Anderson, who served on the
Deerfield Library Board of Trustees for
twenty-four years. Anderson retired from the
board in 2001 when he moved to Wauconda.
He had been a Deerfield resident for thirty-four
years, was first elected to the library board in
1977 and reelected in four subsequent
elections. A multi-faceted man, Anderson was
a strong advocate of freedom of speech, access
by all residents to all forms of information and
of library literacy. He was always a staunch
supporter and friend of our library and we shall
miss him.

Navy Flier Crashed
at Library Site 60
Years Ago
On Memorial Day, May 31 at 10:30
a.m., the Library and the Deerfield
Historical Society will remember
Navy Ensign Milton C. Pickens with
the unveiling of a plaque in his honor
outside at the west end of the
Library, as part of the Deerfield
Memorial Day ceremonies.
Ensign Pickens had been training as
an aircraft carrier pilot at Naval Air
Station in Glenview where, sadly, a
number of pilots were killed during
their training. The library has always
known there had been a plane crash
on its property. Recently, through
diligent research by librarian Cindy
Wargo, we have learned that it was a
U.S. Navy F4F Wildcat whose pilot,
Ensign Milton C. Pickens of
Houston, Texas crashed and perished.
Ensign Pickens, 20, won his Navy
wings in December, 1943 and
married Dorothy Prindle of Houston
the same day. Assigned to the Naval
Air Station in Glenview, he crashed
on May 26,1944. He was buried in
Houston. At the time of his death, his
stepfather and two brothers were also
in military service.
Number *■
Across the Librarian’s Desk
The staff and Board are coming to the conclusion of the
long range planning process. Public hearings for input by
our residents will be held this summer.
Over the past two years, a 1000-respondent survey has
been taken, twelve focus groups were conducted,
technology has been reviewed, demographics have been
studied, service levels have been assessed, and
contemporary Illinois libraries have been visited. The Board and staff have prepared
preliminary reports dealing with these issues. Space and building needs have been
studied by Anders Dahlgren, nationally recognized library consultant, who produced
two studies. One is an assessment of the space needs for the current operation which
identified a current need for 54,000 square feet. The second study, a long range
space plan, detailed the need for a building of 70,000-80,000 square feet. The staff
reports, survey, and Dahlgren reports are available at the Reference Desk for review.
The building is currently being studied by the architectural firm of Javore and
Associates to determine what possibilities exist for the present structure and site. The
final two pieces of our planning process will be a series of public hearings for direct
input from our residents and the compilation of the strategic plan itself.
The Library is faced with limited options. The structure’s roof and structural
columns are not stressed to take the floor loading needed for book stacks, making it
expensive and difficult, if not impossible, to simply go up a floor or two. If the
Library expands horizontally, we will lose our parking and access. What the resident
survey revealed was that our residents want the following: the Library should stay in
or near the current location; a drive-through is an urgent need; bigger and better
meeting rooms are desired; quiet study space is needed; a separate area for teenagers
is called for; DVDs, video and audio products are in great demand; longer hours are
desired; parking, ingress and egress are issues with our users; and there is an
insatiable demand for more Internet and computer services.

PATRIOT ACT
People have asked me about the
Patriot Act and what the controversy is
all about regarding libraries. In short,
it is Federal legislation enacted shortly
after the 9-11 catastrophe that allows
the government—the FBI—to look at
library patrons’ record files, Internet
access records, and any other record
the Library keeps on its users or rou
tine internal files used to operate the
Library. This can be done without ben
efit of traditional due process proce
dures and carries extreme penalties to
the Librarian for non-compliance,
quick punishment if information about
this governmental access is revealed—
to anyone. The genesis of this Act
stems from the idea that the 9-11 ter
rorists used libraries as a base for their
communication activities.
Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis
said ‘The greatest dangers to liberty
lurk in the insidious encroachment by
men of zeal, well meaning but without
understanding.” Libraries have tradi
tionally been strongholds of the
Constitution’s guarantee of freedom of
speech, the right to privacy, and the
freedom of inquiry. Patron privacy and
confidentiality have always been guiding

Library ever been approached by the govern name and the time does not ensure privacy. I am dead-sure that the

internet foray or e-mail no matter how long they have been erased.
Some libraries have posted large signs warning their clients of this
legislation. I have been asked why I have not put up disclaimer
signs like this informing our residents that their library records might
be reviewed by the government without notice. The answer is sim
ple: if I put up warning signs I would compromise even more the
public’s reasonable expectation of privacy by warning them that in
the library, privacy does not exist. Signs cancel any vestige of privacy.
The Library has always followed, and will continue to follow the
Illinois Compiled Statutes—provision 75ILCS 70/1-2—‘The
Library Records Confidentiality Act”— which deals directly with the
explicit right of all citizens to have their library records held in con
fidence, but frankly that law is preempted and powerless in regard to
the Patriot Act. I will take every measure in my power to ensure
each resident’s right to privacy and confidentiality—but I am duty
and honor bound to fully comply with the spirit and the letter of the
Federal law.

Graphic Artist Betty Reschke:
In Memoriam
On April 23,2003 the Deerfield Library
staff lost a dear friend, who this year cele
brated 34 years as a library employee. When
our California-born graphic artist Betty was
first employed the library was located in
what is now the West Deerfield Township
Office. In the present building her artistic
flair blossomed in a “behind the scenes”
I have no problem with the concepts surrounding national security.
Surely, only a fool would think that we are not all vulnerable to
internal terrorist acts and that these acts do not pose a
serious, palpable reality. It is impossible for us to consider these
issues wholly within the framework of the old ideas we held near
and dear before the tragedy of 9-11.1 guess what bothers me about
the Patriot Act is not that libraries have been thrust into the middle
of a debate not of their making where they had no input, nor the lack
of traditional due process, nor the invasion of privacy, nor the
implied violation of hard won and cherished First Amendment
rights. What does trouble me is that the Patriot Act can easily be
seen as an insidious encroachment, first-step, beginning of an omni
scient government. I certainly question the need for that step in a
Constitutional Democracy. I am afraid, after all, that “the fault dear
Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves”.

workroom. She sewed hundreds of original
puppets for the library’s puppet theater, pre
pared posters for our programs using an
ancient printing press, built large structures
such as the 4th of July bookworm, a bam, a
mural, exhibits and displays and fashioned
countless creative projects. She responded
immediately to our often last-minute
requests. When she took ill several months
ago she was re-sewing, for the umpteenth
time, the cloth furniture and inhabitants of
the little tree house (dollhouse) that has been
a fixture in the Childrens’ department for
decades. Betty had a multitude of interests
including golf, swimming, jazz (especially
at Ravinia), nature, the Southwest, and her
Michigan summer retreat. Her many talents
and cheerful smile will be greatly missed by
the library staff and the public who so
admired her hard work. In a 1997 Deerfield
Review article celebrating the library’s 70th
anniversary, Betty’s photo was featured and
she modestly responded about her long
tenure at the library “It’s just an enjoyable
way to pass the time!” Betty lived in
Highland Park and leaves two daughters.
Her husband passed away several years ago.
Youth Services’ Cindy Schilling holds the new puppets
made by Betty this year. Cindy, a 13 year library
employee, has just recently received her Masters in
Library Science and we are proud of her!
�prom Sunday Mueller,
Newly Elected Library
Board President
What ayear ahead on the library board!
0„e of the challenges and greatest responsibilities
of a board is long range planning, taking that long,
hard look into the future and developing a vision
as well as the plan to achieve it. Your library board
is in full gear in this endeavor.
We have been pleased to see the telephone survey
results of over 1,000 area residents. Your thoughts
and suggestions are helping us identify the issues
to be explored in the 15 focus groups to be held
this summer. If you can participate in one of these
groups, please do.
Our job as board members is to represent you, the
community and all its diverse components, to our
library. When considering changes to its operation,
we strive to keep in mind all our constituencies
and tty' to balance the needs of each group.
Fortunately, the members of our board directly rep
resent most of these groups and we are all frequent
users of the library’s materials and facilities. Our
efforts are easily a “labor of love”.
I am pleased to serve as the incoming president
and have several goals for the year ahead. Chief
among them is reaching out to those of you who
visit the library less frequently. I hope we can
familiarize you with the wonderful services avail
able there, including the services of our very peo
ple friendly reference librarians. They stand ready
and eager to help you find answers to your ques
tions, to show you some of our amazing reference
materials, and to help you search the ‘Net quickly
and effectively. Considering the immense amount
af information “out there”, I think you’ll find a
Jbranan to be a valuable research partner.

period. If you do not use a full hour,
you can use your remaining time later
the same day. (An on-screen clock
informs you of time remaining.) Your
session ends automatically after one
hour. Maximum total time online per
person per day is one hour.
Parental permission for those under age
18 is still required, and parents will
sign up their children at the Adult
Reference Desk.

�Across the Librarian’s Desk
Every so often you have a moment, or an
event, or you hear a song, that takes you
back in time and place. Sometimes in ajarring fashion, sometimes just a friendly
glance back. The recent death of Cyrus
Vance had both those effects on me. In
what seems like another life, a long time
ago, I and about a dozen other soldiers had
lunch with Cyrus Vance. It was one of those touchstones in life that
you remember with great clarity. I was a kid sergeant in the 8th
Infantry Division and Cyrus Vance was Under Secretary of Defense.
Memory no longer recalls what I ate for breakfast yesterday, but I
can remember clearly Cyrus Vance standing three feet away and
telling me how important my military job was. I also remember
exactly what we had for lunch, (inch-thick New York cut sirloin
never seen before or after on any of my Army chow lines.) We all
thought Cyrus Vance was impressive that day, he presented himself
well—good speaker, direct gaze, no-nonsense—talk about charisma.
Lost to memory is why he actually came to visit our unit, but he sure
did and his government led us into a dark morass.
Memory is a mystery: so much tiny detail gets stored away, but so
much just gets tossed aside by the memory process, apparently as
unnecessary to our day-to-day existence. But the special events, the
rallying points of our lives, stay with us. Defining moments like the
day we were married, when our children were bom, or when we
graduated from college or fell out of the apple tree and broke our
arms. All of these defining moments get frozen in time for later rec
ollection. I am sure they get planted because they are special—not
done everyday—one special event out of a million and one routine
days.
The Library is approaching just such a defining moment like that and
I would like to talk about it. For the past ten years the Library has
worked on upgrading and renovating every aspect of the building,
collection, programs, and services we offer. This started out with the
replacement of aging boilers but led to serious ADA remodeling, a
new accessible elevator, creating a new Fiction Room, total renova
tion of the main floor and then the Youth Services Department. The
final phase of the project was to move away from the JCPL computer
consortium and install our own computer.
In the meantime we developed and enlarged the book collection to
the point that Deerfield has the highest book-per-capita ratio of
any library on the North Shore. Programs were added and expanded, and services were extended. What guided the project from begin
ning to end was vision and a pretty durable long-range plan. But that
is now all the past. The long range planning and goal-setting that
drove us for ten years has been accomplished; now a future plan lies
ahead.
Marshall Field made a fortune and J.D. Powers has made an industry
out of the old phrase “give the lady what she wants”. The hard part is
knowing what the lady, indeed, wants. “Librarian in the Lobby” is a
program the Board added ten years ago to help us know what it is
our residents want and also how well or how poorly they think we
are doing. This project was original to this Library and has proved of
lasting benefit. Not only has the Board shown accountability and
access, but now we have a good profile of who uses the Library,
what they think about us, and how they perceive the future. We look
to the future as a great opportunity and the planning process as a way
to define what the Library is and how we serve our residents. The
new Long Range Plan will be our guide; we want you all on board.
What does this mean? First, we have no preconceived ideas as to the
destination of this plan.There will be study, focus groups, surveys,
and I am sure midnight oil burned on many long evenings before you
tell us what you want us to be. What we are looking for is mission
and goal—what we will study will be services, hours, programming,
staffing, technology, community partnerships (such as the ones we
have with AARP, the Historical Society and the National Family
Partnership) parking and access. We will also study you, our resi
dents, and we want you to help us. We will do a lot of analysis of our
strengths and weaknesses. Using our crystal ball will be the way we
try to put dimension on the future. We all know how fast technology
has changed us, who can grasp the acceleration of that change? We
will try.
What we seek is a durable and authentic game plan to take us ahead
another ten years and serve us well as the old plan did. Who will
help us? We hope all of you will to one degree or another. For
starters we have engaged the Executive Service Corps to survey staff
benefit and salary packages. What will follow will offer many oppor
tunities for community involvement. We take this process seriously,
we want no false starts, expensive failures or dark morass in our
future operations. We want to serve our residents with exactly the
programs, materials, services, and atmosphere they desire. In this era
of communication, technology and information the possibilities are
limitless.
Now, you ask what in the world does Cyrus Vance have to do with
the Library’s Long Range Plan? To me the Long Range Planning
process is like Vance’s visit. It is going to be a defining moment in
the history of this library and that memory will last, for good or ill,
for a very long time. Unlike my hazy, unclear, memory of Vance’s
motives and intentions the Library Board wants our intentions to be
clear- Yes, like Vance we want to present well, we want to speak
clearly, we
goingt0 have a direct g®2®.no nonsense, and (hope
fully) be charismatic.
Unlike the Army, we want to put steak on your plate every time you
come into the Library. We plan to involve everyone in Deerfield in
our planning process. Importantly, we don’t want anyone feeling—
“why did they do that”? We want this defining moment to be a long
lived one that is remembered like a favorite birthday.

Seventy-Five Candles on a Cake
by Sharon Greenspan Lewin, who received honorable
mention for this original poem in the recent Rosemary
Sazonoff contest. She wrote of the library’s birthday!
For the library—institution of
public learning-seventyfive candles are a tribute,
An achievement.
It incorporates the notion that we are immortal
Thru our words.
When we humans,
In Our Community,• • •
Go to blow out our birthday candles,
If there are seventy-five—we think of all those years.
Life is winding down.
Deerfield Assets for Youth
Program
This spring the library began participating
in a community-wide initiative sponsored
by the National Family Partnership of
Deerfield to emphasize important develop
mental assets for youth. The first three
assets are: a caring school climate, a caring
neighborhood and family support. Please
look at the library’s new display (east
room). Find related videos, pamphlets,
books and booklists and a poster listing
assets and how Deerfield youth scored. The
assets are also on the library’s web site:
www.deerfieldlibrary.org.
For info, contact NFP’s Lynn Tramutola,
847-940-1874.
Library Board Treasurer David
Wolff accepts the certificate from
Representative Karen May.
Why does the library live and age so gracefully?
It is home—to the words of mystical-angel inspired,
Writers, poets, jokers, illustrators—who imbue their creative
Spirit energy into print, and colored pictures, and novels.
To the poor and desolate, the abused and bemused;
It is the ability to take us away.
Historical Society Event
All are invited to attend the Sunday, June 2
Re-dedication of the newly restored Ott
Cabin at the Deerfield Area Historical
Society. In addition to a visit from U.S.
Congressman Mark Kirk, there will be
music and refreshments. The Historic
Village is open for Sunday weekly tours at 2
p.m. through September.
Ah, the smells and touches of the library>.
The feel of a well-worn Huckleberry Finn.
Or my pre-adolescent Nancy Drew Detective
The ever-present joy when I read to my one and only daughter,
"I’ll love you forever—As long as I'm living my baby you'll be. ”
Feel the first experiments at curling up in a library to do research:
First research paper in high school.
Then college, law school,
Studying for the bar exam in the library.
Savor those memories.

Our great television personality with her "use your life " series,
Marvels at how books saved her-made her,
(a small black girl from
Mississippi,) believe she could be
Anyone she wanted to be!
Now, she has millions reading about all parts of the world
they would never
be exposed to otherwise. Publishers herald her—
she has reinspired book
sales, book clubs, and libraries.
Some people feel the coffee house/bookstores have replaced
the library,
They are mistaken.
No history or the aura of old souls.
It is no coincidence, that, in the movie,
City of Angels, Nicolas Cage, (an angel) hung out at the
Los Angeles Public Library.
Remember the "Twilight Zone" with a main character who
only wanted to
be left alone to read?
There is a nuclear holocaust, everything is desolate:
He wakes up alive in the nibble, with books all around him
At first he is ecstatic.
Then, the horrific irony-hisglasses are smashed. He can’t read.
Our libraries and books need us as much as we need them.
From generation to generation,
In all stages of our growing up,
One could always find a book to elucidate on the subject;
Adolescence, Dating, Getting Married, Parenting,
Speaking to your kids of adolescence,
Taking care ofyour parents,
How to find good doctors, build houses, buy cars,
Find the right spiritual home.
We must remember in this land of the free---How we are free to have libraries.
In Afghanistan, and Iran books are banned.
In India, there are no public libraries.
So many immigrants talk of theirfirst experience of
Coming to America and being able to "borrow"free of charge
A library book.
In America we celebrate milestones.
We honor our birthdays and our anniversaries.
We know that, there but for the grace of God go I.
The cake should be big, big, big,
The banners should be big, big, and big
Shout from the rooftops,
We Deeifieldtonian readers are 75 years old.
We made it. We’re going to live to be 200.
Our books are our gifts from our ancestors, and legacy to our
descendants
Hail! Hail! Long shall we read.
