Classes!
To use the catalog to best advan
tage we encourage you to attend
an introductory class with Judith
Hortin, Head of Reference at any
of the following times:
Thursday, December I, 7 p.m.
Saturday, December 10,11 a.m.
Wednesday, December 14,10 a.m.
My first Boy Scout Handbook had a pic
ture of Ted Williams in it, kissing his bat.
Dynix At
Your Service!
Our “mascot” butler welcomes you
to the new Dynix computer sys
tem. We officially went online with
our new system on November 1
and patron reactions are positive!
The colorful new screens replace
our “old” GEAC computer catalog
and circulation system which
served us well for almost 10 years.
(We eliminated our card catalog 6
years ago.)
The faster, more powerful sys
tem continues to be in a consor
tium with Skokie, Morton Grove
and Waukegan Libraries. The
Dynix system is very “user
friendly” and flexible, with
- wider access promised
in the future. This
should include
access to numer
ous periodical indexes, community
resource File, gateways to remote
databases and access to Internet.
We anticipate a smooth adjust
ment and appreciate your patience
in accepting and becoming com
fortable with the new system.
What a man Teddy Ballgame was—a real
hero to all of us kids. The last .400 hitter. In
modern life, all of our shared experiences
come from the media. I didn't know Ted
Williams, I just thought I did. That basic con
tradiction gives dimension to our difficulty in
separating fact from fiction. We have all just

We would appreciate your signing

assist you in using the catalog.
watched Ken Burns’ nine-installment baseball
TV series tell us that baseball is the perfect
metaphor for American life. That the game
reflects us for good or ill, and that baseball
could only be an American game. A charm
ing TV series but a flawed theory.
Reflecting on the 1994 baseball strike that
ruined the best season in- years—the only one
in ninety with no World Series—I could be
inclined to agree with Burns, only in reverse.
Baseball as a perfect metaphor for American
life: grasping, greedy, selfish men lacking in any
semblance of culture, with no knowledge of his
tory. Those who grab mopey without regard for
others, the eventual outcome of a project, or
even how it looks to the outside world. That

these base instincts are the fibre and
substance of American life is something I
do not believe. Americans at our worst,
not our best, ruined the season of 1994.
After twenty-one years of providing
library service to Deerfield residents in a
real- life not a fictional setting, I have
found Deerfield residents to be none of
the above. In contrast, I have seen that
their hearts and minds are in the right
place. 12,700 cardholders in a village of
17,000 tells me this is a community of
readers, intellectually alert, aware of poli
tics, socially concerned, involved with our
kids, and philosophical in outlook. Social
projects, caring about others, and a long
view of history characterizes the people I
know in this town. Is Deerfield a micro
cosm of the rest of the country? I think
so. Is that a metaphor that would ruin the
baseball season of 1994? I think not.
But it has also been my experience
that events in our lives, large and small,
are often shaped by what is worst, not
what is best, for us. Mean- spiritedness
and disparity often come to the fore and
win out in decision making. Wronghead
edness often shouts down reason and
important decisions can be based on
caprice and whim, and only our hindsight
is perfect. Maybe the men who ruined the
1994 season did mean well but by a mis
guided attempt achieved something
nobody wanted. That everyone could sit

of. A group of anti-intellecutal, small-mind
ed nobodies with a lot of money wrecked
the season and we all yawned. It is said
that humor is the only trait that separates
man from the rest of the animal kingdom
and that it protects us from catastrophe.
Sometimes it’s hard to laugh.
The book I am recommending this
month is The Lawyer’s Chambers by
Lowell Komie. This collection of short sto
ries is Lowell's third book and I recom
mend it highly. If you haven't read Lowell
Komie you are missing one of the best of
today's writers. Mr. Komie is not just a
good writer, or a talented one, Lowell is a
great writer whose stories touch at the
heart of all of us. Lowell writes in a very
difficult genre to master—the short story;
when he succeeds, which is often, he
rewards us all with his art.

SPRING, 1994
DEERFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY
Vol. 9, No. 2
Across the
Librarian's Desk
I
une 6th this year marks the fiftieth
anniversary of the Allied D-Day land
ings at Normandy. I remember that
event so clearly—not like it was yesterday
but pretty close. When we were kids dur
ing WWII, everything we did related to the
war and the war effort. My Dad ran a slide
rule in the engineering department at Mar
tin Aircraft in Omaha, Nebraska so D-Day
had a special significance; Omaha Beach
was the focus of so much concern during
the first days of invasion that we thought
Omaha Beach was our own personal cru
sade. We got the
news from our
Philco radio, raced
to see the invasion
44 Everything
we did related newsreels at the
movie matinees,
to the war?? and practiced
blackouts every
month.
There have been so many changes in Amer
ican life since those days fifty years ago, it
is hard to believe it all. So much of our lives
centered on the military; all my uncles and
a cousin served in WWII, my brother and
many friends served in Korea, and my gen
eration soldiered through the Cold War and
Viet Nam. During WWII we watched the
railroad trains as often as we could; tanks
and landing craft going west, P-51's and
other California produce going east and
grinning boys in khaki going everywhere.
War, military service and separation from
family and friends almost define the last
three generations of Americans. But so do
the ideals we learned: honor, duty, country.
The war really stole our childhood; I
remember patriotic rallies that exhorted lit
tle kids to collect tin cans and rubber scraps
to save America; anyone who ever did it

Raise A Reader From Day One
New Computer System
Babies are potential readers! Thanks to the efforts
of the Deerfield Women of Today, funds have been
raised to initiate a program to welcome Deerfield
babies and introduce them to a lifetime of reading.
At the request of parents, grandparents or friends,
a library packet especially for infants will be sent to
the home of any child six months or younger. If the
family lives within incorporated Deerfield, a gift
coupon redeemable in the Youth Services Depart
ment will be included. Let us know about new
babies in town!
Walgreens, Firstar Bank and Borders Books &
Music have graciously contributed to the first year
of this program.
Deerfield is proceeding with selection of a
new computer catalog and circulation sys
tem in partnership with Morton Grove,
Skokie and Waukegan Libraries. The new
computers will offer access to our four col
lections, at least three magazine indexes,
and a survey of holdings of the 44 North
Suburban Library System public libraries
and will act as an access point for the Inter
net. The new system should be installed by
July and fully operational before September.
* Published Deerfield authors: we don't
want to leave you out. Please contact Sally
Seifert or Martha Sloan at 945-3311.
Thom Morris has joined the staff part time in Reference. For 20 years he
was Director of the Trinity College Library. A Deerfield resident, Morris
also works as a Local Area Network System Administrator and Librarian
at Northbrook Library. He holds 3 masters degrees: Math from University
of Illinois, Theology from Trinity and Library Science from Rosary. With
this range of interests Morris has selected librarianship because "I like
libraries and the people I work with; When I go home I feel I've helped
people and this is a good feeling."

Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton
An American classic, Wharton's
story centers on a love triangle
entangled by 19th century con
straints and eternal emotions.
Martha Sloan, Head of Reader
Services and Book Discussion leader,
has authored a chapter in The Book
Group, a Thoughtful Guide to Forming and
Enjoying a Stimulating Book Discussion
Group. She said, "In a strange way books
provide the safety of distance but also
are an avenue to our more real selves."
(Continued from p.I)
remembers cutting the tops and bottoms
from tin cans and squashing them flat. I
remember savings bonds and stamps being
sold in the movie theaters, my Mom dealing
with the reality of rationed food, clothing and
shoes, and my Dad's despair at getting gas
and tires. My grandfather and my brothers
and I went to one rally to donate aluminum
pans that was like a scene from a Wagner
opera—bonfires, martial music, and a pile of
aluminum stacked up to the sky. Boy Scouts
was like army camp, leisure travel was
restricted, and fear of Zeros, Stukas, and
Messerschmitts was something we talked
about every day. I don't have the same childhood memories my daughters do and they
can't point out Tarawa, Anzio or Bataan.
So when they say times have changed, I know
they are for the better. The troops that stormed
ashore on D-Day are now our senior citizens and
their grandchildren will not have their child
hoods stolen by war. The resolve and singleness
of purpose that guided our country in those days
will probably never be experienced by any of us
again. The dedication and inventiveness the
country exhibited in the 1940's now must be
rechanneled into making the USA the world
leader in all areas of life, not just the military/sci
entific arena where we excelled like no other.

„
^ book 1 am recommending this month is
Technology by Neil Postman, subtitled The Surren-
der of Culture to Technology. The author
asserts the country is grappling for human
values and answers in a social system where
technology has been granted sovereignty
over our institutions—science as salvation,
scientist as shaman. Postman, who has
become one of our most interesting social
analysts, has an earlier essay, Amusing Our
selves to Death, dealing with a society intent
on recreation and amusement, with disre
gard for values, productivity, or self-worth.
The boys of Omaha Beach knew a thing or
two about values, productivity, and selfworth and we should never forget it.
Jack Alan Hidks, Administrative Librarian
�Long Playing Records to Go
Time marches on and new technologies
move in. The library's long playing records
are deteriorating physically and are no
longer receiving enough usage to warrant
shelf space. We are withdrawing the collec
tion. If you wish to purchase any, we'll
have a sale the first weekend in June.
Building Renovation
Thanks for your patience....Building reno
vation has been protracted but is ending.
This includes an ADA compliant elevator,
accessible restrooms, etc. A new electric
door will be installed at the entrance this
summer. The Library Board is currently
studying a renovation plan that will move
the fiction collection downstairs and
increase our public space by almost 20%.
News
to Note
The Board approved a new meeting
room policy since the library now has
only one meeting room. The policy
limits public use to duly constituted
Deerfield sponsored, non profit
organizations. Space can be reserved
only 2 months in advance. See Gail
Kroll for details.
Please bring your Deerfield library
card to check out materials. Without it,
you will need i.d. and it will cost 25<t.
Also, employer/host must take full
responsibility for acquiring and main
taining a library card for a nanny,
au pair or foreign exchange student.
Reminder: The State Legislature has
passed a bill that restricts use of a non
resident fee card to the library where it
is purchased.

FALL, 1993
DEERFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY
Across the
Librarian’s Desk
iving in suburban Lake County it
is easy to forget that Illinois has a
historical past as rich and varied
as any state in the USA. We all know about
Abraham Lincoln, but the story of Illinois
is an incredible tapestry of people and
events that cover far more than only one
man. For instance, how many people
know that George Rogers Clark marched a
Revolutionary War army straight across
Illinois to attack the fort at Vincennes,
Indiana, from the west? Or, that at its
peak, Cahokia Mounds was one of the
largest cities in the world?

Du Chartes, Vandalia,
New Salem, Springfield, Cahokia Court House, Bishop Hill,
Nauvoo, Galena, Shawnee Town and the
Cahokia Mounds—a site of such interna
tional importance that it has UNESCO
protection. Luckily, you do not have to go
very far to experience our own history.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of
the Deerfield Area Historical Society and
Historic Village. The Society was here
when I moved to Deerfield 21 years ago
and I assumed it had been a Deerfield fix
ture for ever—and was somehow selfperpetuating. Jo Gourley says it best,
"Thousands of hours of dedication, devo
tion, and hard work later we have a
whole Historic Village."
What I have learned over time, of course,
is that the Historic Village is not self-per
petuating, and what a huge difference a

Library Can Serve Special Needs
To comply with the new Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA), the Deerfield
Library is in the process of installing a new
accessible elevator, accessible restrooms,
lowered telephone, lowered Circulation
Desk, lowered drinking fountains, assisted
door openers, ramps, signage, and new
door hardware.
The Library has also added a Visual-Tek
magnifying reader, a TDD telephone for
communications and will add a new ADA
catalog terminal. The Chicagoland Radio
Information Service has also provided
two radios which offer news from local
newspapers for patron use. If you or anyone
you know requires any accommodation
or if you have a question about ADA
compliance, please call the Administrative
Librarian at 945-3311.
The library maintains a large selection of
large print books, books on tape, and has
home delivery through our Books-To-Go
program. We also can be a contact for the
Library of Congress talking book program,
The Library staff is always interested in
your suggestions.
It Would Help Us If:
• You bring your library card when you want
to take out a book. In lieu of your card,
you must have a valid i.d.
• Should you lose a book and need to pay for
it, we must replace the book; do not
bring us your replacement.
0 If you have ordered an interlibrary loan
book, we will call when it arrives. Please be
\ sure to pick it up. Library statistics show that
the average cost for a completed interlibrary
loan transaction can be $30. This is a free
service to our patrons.
• If your community organization needs to
book a meeting room, one of your group
must have a Deerfield Library card.
Reservations may only be made 3 months
in advance.
Librarian in the Library
Jack Hicks, Library Director and a member
of the Board of Trustees will continue their
successful monthly "in person suggestion
box" on Tuesday, September 14 from 7 to 9
p.m. They will meet the public informally
in the front lobby to listen to ideas, con
cerns and plaudits from community resi
dents. Librarian in the Lobby will also
meet the public on Monday evenings,
October 11 and November 8.

Supervising the seven day operation of

Gail Kroll who holds a Master's Degree in
Library Science from Rosary College and
worked for 6l/i years at Northbrook

SUMMER IN REVIEW
We are proud of 887 "young detectives" who
enrolled in the Amazing Book Capers Young
People's Summer Reading Club.
One hundred and fifty adults read through the
summer for "Celebrate America's Diversity,"
the Adult Summer Reading Club, many enjoy
ing books they say they never would have
otherwise read. A reading list of their favorite
reading suggestions is available in the library.
Five students from the Center on Deafness
spent summer hours helping out in a
working/leaming environment in the library.
