John A. Anderson Retires
from Library Board
After twenty- four
years of service, John
Anderson has moved
to Wauconda. He was
a Deerfield resident
for thirty- four years.
vr
First elected in 1977
and reelected in four
subsequent elections, Anderson’s
term spanned the period from when
the library was new all the way
through the recent renovations. He
provided leadership for two library
directors: Suzanne Whetstone and
Jack Hicks. 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 pressed
for renovation and the new comput
er system and he was instrumental
in bringing videos and other AV for
mats to the library. He said, “Many
problems were solved during my
tenure. I was glad to have been able
to contribute to this great library.”

Arsdale served on the Board in 1994, and will fill the remaining four year term of Yvonne

Under 18 Video Policy Changed
Matt requested and the board responded....
Joan Bairstow, right, Deerfield Library
Head of Circulation, gladly implemented

Deerfield student Matt Tick, at left.
Matt Tick, Deerfield High School stu

the permission in person, and must assume
full responsibility for return, damage, fees
or fines for materials loaned under the pol

�Across the Librarian’s Desk
The retirement of John Anderson from the
Library Board after twenty-four years of service
caused me to reflect on the fine board mem
bers who have served this library in the years
since the library was built. Many, like
Rosemary Sazonoff, were Deerfield stalwarts;
many were not known by the public but made
strong contributions to this library benefiting
the residents and the staff.
John was not the longest serving board member of memory. That
honor would go to former Board President Tom Parfitt, with current
President Sue Benn right behind in length of service. It is hard to sin
gle out individuals but some do stand out. Longtime Treasurer Tony
Sabato, who passed away last winter, taught me all I know about tax
levies and public finance. Rosemary Sazonoff taught me the power of
the press; Wilbur Page taught me respect for the physical plant and
how to take care of it. Sue Benn, especially, has shepherded me
through all our renovation projects for the past eight years and I owe
her more than I can tell. It is with sadness that we note the death of
former Board Member Charlene Reich in early May; she served with
distinction.
Currently the library has a mix of old and new board members. Sue
Benn brings over twenty years experience to the table, David Wolff
twelve years. Our younger members Don Van Arsdale, Sunday Mueller,
Jeff Blumenthal and Ken Abosch bring a renewed sense of energy and
enthusiasm as we look forward to long range planning and needed
community assessment to prepare ourselves for the future. Bill Seiden
has agreed to fill John Anderson’s position on an interim basis. This
board truly reflects the residents of Deerfield and will be a great asset
as we move into the reality of the information age.
As if we needed proof that it is indeed a small world we live in,
this spring Bill Seiden, current President of the North Suburban Library
System Board, and I were in Washington, D.C. for the American Library
Association’s Legislative Day. At the debriefing session held after a
long day on Capitol Hill I chanced to look over at one of our fellow
library advocates. I asked him immediately if he was the Don McCurry
who served so ably on the Deerfield Public Library Board twenty years
ago. Don’s reponse was, “How in the world did you know that?” It was
easy. Don had been a great board member. He had made strong contri
butions to the library, and had make a lasting impression. He was in
Washington as a board member of the Northern Illinois Library System
headquartered in Rockford. It seems Don has been involved in library
service for many years.
At this point it finally occurred to me that as boards have a
tremendous impact on their libraries, so do libraries have a lasting
effect on the board members themselves. It was a fine moment when I
introduced a current board member to one from many, many years ago.
Past and present became one, leading me to feel confident about this
library’s future.

Read Around the World
Adult and Youth Services Summer
Reading Clubs!
June 12-August 11
Librarians are fond of authors I
who are originals, one-of-a-kind,
who establish themselves by the
uniqueness of their work. Edward
Gorey was just such an author
who lived up to his apt name. A
large man who wrote small books
about obscure and often mordant
themes that featured a self-mock
ing peril: books that never failed
to entertain. Gorey began as a
self-published small press author
who graduated to mainstream
recognition through a series of
illustrated books based on bizarre
situations—swooning damsels in
distress, doomed, helpless little
children, menacing gargoyles and
rose bushes, labyrinthine hedges,
doors to nowhere—all drawn up
in an elegant black-ink Victorian
style. Dark and macabre maybe,
whimsical and poetic always. He
is widely known as the illustrator
of the PBS TV series “Mystery.”
Even if you have only seen a sin
gle Gorey drawing you will never
forget it. Gorey claimed he only
wrote about real life; if that is
true, what an odd and unique life
he led.
This is not an ode to Edward
Gorey who died in April, but a

celebration of his talent and a reflection on the
creative process. Where does imagination and
creativity come from? How does one person
embody so many ideas while so many folks have
none? Gorey demonstrated with his slim books
that it is not necessary to grind out thousands of
pages to be creative—it is the quality of the
ideas, the originality of the product, the insight of
the imagination that produces a book of lasting
interest. Gorey was in effect
Charles Dickens in
reverse—small books
versus huge books—
but the results were
the same; rich memo
rable characters and
settings that grip our
imagination.
Where do we stumble
across those qualities in today’s life?
Certainly we spend a lot of time reading popular
mass market fiction, watching movies and TV, or
surfing the internet—but in all of these, creativity
seems to take second or third place to marketing
strategy. Of course there are exceptions, and cre
ativity that sells a product is fine, but does it have
the same social worth as creativity for its own
intrinsic worth? I am afraid that our senses have
been dulled over the years so that our ability to
identify and recognize creativity when we see it
has been seriously diminished. Maybe there truly
is no market for originality; or don’t people real
ize the difference between good, bad, and boring
anymore? Worse, do we recognize brilliance
when we see it? Or, do we as a society fail to
reward creativity, uniqueness, and originality?
Gorey contrasts so clearly with formula writers
who chum out endless best sellers—yet offer no

insights, no universal enlightenment, no useful
message about the human condition, no poetry, no
real spark, no literary style. Worse, I guess, is sit
ting transfixed by internet, watching screens that
offer nothing original, in fact which resemble
slow moving electronic comic books. Internet has
yet to live up to its potential, though I am sure it
will. But will it be a power for creativity or just
commercialism? Albert Einstein said in 1939 that
“If science, like art, is to perform its mission
truly and fully, its achievements must
enter not only superficially but
jjjfrix with their inner meanings into
W®, the consciousness of people.”
1 ^ The surSe P°Pular culture
/U® veers away from that paradigm. So much of our popular culture today springs from
just those sources—mass market
v
books, TV, movies and of course the
internet. Where is the writing, the thinking,
the creativity? Please don’t tell me the best brains
of today are all in e-business because if they are,
we are in a lot of trouble as a society.What do we
have? Tedious authors writing best sellers—dim
witted and formulaic. The bottom end of TV is an
endless parade of mindless pop-culture, single
message messianic “gurus” who offer us simpleminded solutions to life’s more vexing problems.
Movies seem to be all about car chase block
busters with no scripts. All this is forgettable,
while a single Gorey drawing stays in your mem
ory forever. Talent versus no talent. In an era of
clones, Gorey proved one thing; no one can copy
him. And please WTTW—no more gurus—
aaargh!
