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.

continued from paget
and sponsored outings and tours. Not
to be confused with today’s “outings". A
1914 AAA tour guide told how to drive
to Deerfield so you could lunch at
Deerspring Farm. Cross country events
and racing advanced technology and
cars grew into reliable transportation.
Roads lagged behind, but by the twen
ties and thirties the Lincoln Highway and
Route 66 spanned the nation.
Eisenhower’s national defense high
ways finally tied the country together
and were the catalyst for growth of au
tomobile travel as we know it today.
These highways are probably the most
influential agents of social change that
this country has ever seen.They allowed
for, encouraged, and fostered the growth
of the suburbs; changed the way we
relate to one another, changed where
and how we could work, whom we would
marry, where we would shop,where our
children would be educated, where and
how we vacation , how we live.
As the use of cars expanded, re-ex
panded, and became the most common
form of daily transportation it was only a
short time before they became the stan
dard way to get to work, and the daily
commute became a part of everyone's life.
In the suburbs the station wagon-now
vans and sport utilities-became Mom’s
rite of passage. The use of cars brought
with it the necessary rules and regulations
to make their operation safe and effec
tive. Unregulated roads were chaos:rules
brought order, discipline and safety.
Safety. That is the word behind ev
ery single traffic rule that exists. Disobey
the rules, and crash into another car.
Run a stop light, and run down another
human being. Speed, and kill the child
as she runs for her puppy. It was really
just common sense, over time, that led
to all the traffic laws and regulations that
govern us today. What I see on my daily
one mile trek to the Library disavows all
of this. What I see is a growing chaos; a
daily reduction in safety, civility, and
courtesy. Safety: safety is the biggest
loss. I don’t want to hear that this is a
police problem. Our police do a fine job,
this is a social/behavioral breakdown of
large proportions.
Daily, I am treated to a Mom in a
mastodon sport utility running a stop
sign, not even really slowing down. Just
check for a police car, and gun it through
the intersection. I see a Dad on his way
to the train failing to yield-right-of-way
to school children walking to their bus
stop. Cars of every variety speed
through my residential neighborhood as
if they were competing in the Indy 500.
I see almost everyone turning without
using their turn signals-both an element
of safety and courtesy. I see the same
cars park in our handicapped and no
parking zones as the drivers run to do
their errands-thumbing their noses at
the purpose of those special zones. As
they leave, they back into parked cars,
eyeball the crumpled fender and drive
off. This transcends rudeness into crimi
nality. It accelerates on the expressway.
Of course, you see all the failures above,
only at higher speeds; no turn lights, fail
ure to yield right-of- way, and speeding.
Worse, you see tailgating, weaving in
the lanes, passing when inappropriate,
driving on the shoulder to get ahead of
a line of backed up traffic. You see ag
gression, hostility and anger. You see

people’s heads buried in car phones oblivi
ous of what is happening around or in front
of them. Some of the behavior seems to
be related to the size and power of today’s
sport utility mastodons, some of it to an
inner rage that is almost sociopathic. Not
being a car designer, or a psychiatrist, I
don’t have an answer to either of these
problems. Personally, I believe this behav
ior to be related to modern society’s ano
nymity and social disconnectedness, but
it is mainly just selfish rudeness.
What we are losing is a sense of
safety, because we are absolutely see
ing unsafe driving, plus a loss of civility,
and courtesy. Decency behind the wheel
seems to have evaporated. I guess I
would ask myself how I would like to run
down and kill a small child while speed
ing, cripple or maim an elderly driver
through aggressive tailgating, or ruin a
young person’s future before he or she
even get their life started. I think we
should start looking to ourselves if we
want these antisocial behaviors to stop.
If we don’t take responsibility, I can’t
imagine how bad driving conditions will
be in ten years. The book I am -recom
mending this month, before it is too late
for you, is Illinois Rules of the Road. Al
ways a good read, drop by and read one
at the Library.
Or, ignore the book and get exposed to
it in mandatory traffic safety classes after
you get your big ticket. Orville Freeman,
former Governor of Minnesota, had a great
phrase about driving--”lt’s not a right, it is a
privilege”. And there aren’t any excuses.

It may take some time to adjust to
the major shift of the nonfiction
books on the main floor. This shift
was necessary as the collection has
grown so much. Without enlarging
the building, the lower level Fiction
Room had been constructed and left
available space for collection growth.
The 800 s and the 900’s are now
in the east room next to biographies.
The videos are permanently on the
north wall. Books on cassette tape
are housed in temporary shelving in
this room.
In the west room, all Reference
materials and the 000 s through 700 s
were shifted forward on the shelves.
Circulating business books are now
merged into the circulating nonfic
tion collection (in numbered se
quence). A reference librarian can
assist you in finding materials.

up” of public space. Architect R. Scott

Librarian’s DesH continued from pagel
no one does. While that thought was still roll
ing around in the back of my mind, Carl Sagan
and Jacques Cousteau also died and then that
idea began to really bother me. Who will speak
for us?
Certainly, I did not always agree with what
Sagan wrote or said, but behind the man was
that same moral ethical voice that had made
Allen Ginsberg part of my life. Sagan spoke and
wrote for years, but it took television to make
him a household word. His concern for the fu
ture, the environment and the whole world’s
quality of life is unparalleled today. Ultimately
Sagan became somewhat of a parody of him
self, lending his thought and delivery to comics
to mimic, but his moral ethical concerns remain
clear and direct. I only wish the current movie,
Contact, on which Sagan collaborated, was a
more fitting tribute to the man. Sagan's books
and thoughts will be with us for a long time.
I first learned the name Cousteau when in
19541 bought a two-hose scuba regulator used
for skin diving that was made in France and
marked Cousteau-Gagnan. I used that regu
lator to dive all over the state of Minnesota to
discover the unimpeded joys of scuba diving.
Later in the 1950’s Cousteau made his fame
with his books and the obscure French naval
officer, who in partnership with Emil Gagnon
developed the first practical underwater breath
ing device. Cousteau went far in his life, from
inventor and itinerant diver to probably the
most recognized and respected spokesman for
our natural environment. He spoke, wrote and
made films that delivered that same message
over and over: our world is precious and man
is working overtime to destroy it; save it now
or it will be lost forever.
Who will speak for us? The passing of these
three diverse men is an incalculable loss to us
as a society, made more important because
there is no one on the horizon who can take
their place. I see our generation as more inter
ested in entertainment and glamour than in
serious thought. The idea of the serious writer
as a major force in our lives is a concept that is
no longer important in our society. The ques
tion now is who will be the next celebrity telling
us they are going to Disneyworld. Since we get
all our ideas and heroes from films, entertain
ment and the media, it is an easy guess to pre
dict an increasing trivialization and commercial
ization of our lives. For now we are stuck with
witless news anchors, talk show hosts, and
sound bites. History proves everything in the
world—economics, social thought, politics,
world view—goes in cycles eventually we will
return to a point where the genius, wisdom and
humanity of Ginsberg, Sagan and Cousteau will
be appreciated. Who will speak for us?
In the meantime, I recommend this sam
pling of their writing. Ginsberg: Howland Other
Poems; Selected Poems 1947-1995; Allen
Verbatim; Kaddish and Other Poems and Air
plane Dreams. Sagan: Cosmos, Cosmic Con
nection; Broca's Brain; Planets and Pale Blue

Barns never fell down when I was a kid. Yet as
you drive across rural America today that is the com
mon denominator of all states-barns falling down. I
have been struck by this phenomenon for quite some
time and I am pretty sure about what it means. Is it
the rise of absentee landlords, loss of output, lack of
self respect, closing out of the smaller farms, or what
I suspect most: a continued depopulation of rural
America? Actually it is all of these things, and more.
This represents a real change for the heartland
of America. No longer the rock-ribbed center of our
society, rural America now is owned and managed
by large real estate conglomerates, populated during
desirable weather by rich urban rusticators Land not
given over to rustication by urban dudes in their pickup
trucks and useless four-wheel drives has been sec
onded into giant 3000 acre farms churning out a gross
national agricultural product big enough to feed China.
All overseen by banks more interested in the bottom
line than abstractions like rural life.
These events force more and more rural folks off
the lands, raise their taxes, close them out of land
ownership, and give the most choice parcels to city

continued from pagel
people. Of course they let their barns fall
down. But what is this doing to us as a
society? Seeing my grandparents’ home
town of Rockwell City. Iowa not as a cru
cible of commerce, or trumpet of trade, but
as a forlorn relic really hurts. Where are
all the rural Americans, why did they go.
and where do they live now?
The reasons are almost as simple as
the enclosure laws that preceded the In
dustrial Revolution. Farms expanded in
size as units of service, the 1970's and
1980's bankrupted what was left of the
family farm, herbicides, pesticides and a
liquid nitrogen changed the way anything
is raised in America. When I was a kid, a
large hog farm was 100 porkers. Today,
across America, a large hog operation is
a hundred thousand hogs fouling the air
and water for five hundred square miles.
Not only a change in farming, but a mas
sive incursion into the environment as well
as the social strata of rural America. In
urban Chicago welfare is a code word for
racism; in rural America welfare means
half the shrunken population of any given
county.
Why mourn these changes? I suppose
at the basic level it is a feeling for me of a
personal loss of identity. I knew and iden
tified with a way of life that is gone forever.
But I also mourn the loss of a value sys
tem that placed family first, hard work and
industry second, with education underlay
ing both ideas. Instead of a therapist, a tight
knit circle of relatives and friends provided
support and comfort. I look at my grand
parents' home and remember a college
professor, banker, a head of a Fortune 500
company who grew up there. Now it looks
like someone who married his sister lives
there.
Where they all went is a mystery to me.
Many went on to college and never looked
back, others disappeared into low-paying
industrial jobs in the rust belt. But so many
characters I knew as a kid could never sur
vive in the city—no skills, eccentric beyond
description, independent beyond taming.
A rough-hewn class of rough cobs, who
could shoot out a pheasant’s eye at a hun

We are proud and pleased that the
Pioneer Press Deerfield Review fea
tured the Deerfield Public Library’s
70th anniversary in the January 9
issue. They wrote “The Deerfield Li
brary has truly been a pillar of the
community. Although not the
North Shores largest in size or vol
ume, it easily ranks with the best in
performance. Hicks and the elected
board of trustees have made the
most of every resource.”
And while we are “tooting our
own horn”, next time you see Jack
Hicks, congratulate him on “mov

25 years”!!

America has always been defined by three ideas:
equality, opportunity and fair play. To a great degree
those ideas set us apart from the rest of the world,

plenty of them to worship. Without the Soviets to loathe
we have turned against each other.
It is not hard to single out the factors that divided
us over the past thirty years: a Vietnam that hasn’t
gone away for too many; the assassinations of JFK,
Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King, the riots that
followed, the Democratic convention of 1968,
Watergate: the list is long. All of that was a dark pe
riod in our history; it was not the age of aquarius at all.
It was an age of betrayal and loss of innocence and
marked the beginning of the loss of national purpose.
Contined on page 2
�rian'i
continued from paget
The pain and rancor of all of that divided
us as a country. I remember Nixon’s cam
paign slogan of 1968: "Bring us together."
What irony. Today we are polarized by race,
economics, politics, religion, and an emerg
ing class system. All this in an era of great
well-being.
We are bombarded daily with negative
information about our political process and
our elected officials. Not a day goes by with
out a new scandal, wasted millions, and a
partisan Congress. As a society we have
become inured to the outrage we all once
felt. We accept rhetoric for ideas, sound bites
for knowledge, and low level political tricks
for leadership. Worst of all we allow simple
minded ideas to be passed around as legiti
mate thought. The one idea I am going to
examine is the cheap-shot of term limits
which is bandied about from all sides as an
instant cure for our political ills.
The Congress enacted presidential term
limits back in the early 1950’s as a reaction
against the four terms served by President
Roosevelt. It sounded like a good idea, and
it apparently looked good enough for legis
lators to enact it into law. But I would sug
gest it was short sighted, mean spirited, and
contributed to the litany of divisive forces that
I listed above. I don’t know if anyone was
paying attention, but all elective offices have
built-in term limits; they’re called elections.
It is easy to speculate that if Dwight
Eisenhower had been allowed to run for
president in 1960, none of the traumatic
things listed above would have even hap
pened.
Don’t scoff. Ike had great acceptance and
performance ratings from the American pub
lic; he had really mastered the job by 1960
and was widely respected. He also told us
two things that were ignored when he left
office: beware of the military-industrial com
plex and avoid a land war in Asia at all costs.
So it follows logically that there would have
been no Vietnam, no assassinations, no ri
ots, no Watergate, no deficit, and no disillu
sionment. The ideas of equality, opportunity
and fair play were ignored. We threw a great
president out of office. By accepting cheap
rhetoric without examining the conse
quences we reaped a whirlwind we pay for
everyday, with no end in sight.
The books I am recommending this
month are negative choices, but very reveal
ing of our political process. Both have been
on the best seller list; one is a badly written
book with a dubious premise and odd con
clusions, the other a well written book cov
ering an unsavory series of incidents. If you
harbor thoughts that Robert Bork should be
a Supreme Court Justice, read his Slouch
ing Toward Gomorrah and if you think Bill
and Hillary rule with clean hands, read
James B. 9tewart’s Blood Sport.

A Message From Judy Haddad,
Director of Youth Services
I recently returned from a month long sojourn
in Israel. I came back to America gladly and
gratefully. You might be thinking I was happy
to be back because I missed my
family or I didn’t want to be
blown up in a terrorist attack.
Well, you would be wrong. •
What made me feel that we are I
|ucky t0 iive jn the United
States, especially north suburban
Illinois, is the quality of the libraries. There is
just no comparison between the quality of ma
terials and services you find in the North Sub
urban Library System libraries and anywhere
in the world. Rich or poor, big or small, the
libraries in Israel just couldn’t cut it. In many
libraries in Israel, you wont find a children’s
section at all, much less one with such a variety
of puzzles, cassettes, cd’s, computers, or even
books. However, Israel has something that
Deerfield doesn’t—warm beaches.

Library
Celebrates
70th
Birthday
n January 1,1927 Deerfield’s
first library was opened in
the Deerfield Grammar
School (now die site of the School
District #109 Administration Build
ing) and was furnished with 700
books donated or purchased with
funds contributed by the citizens of
Deerfield.
The library was moved tempo
rarily in 1955 to a converted store
at 758 Waukegan. In 1959 the li
brary shared space with the town hall
as a township library. As a village li
brary, a bond issue was approved to
build and equip our present build
ing, now 25 years old.

ies. One holds that technology is the only future
for libraries contrasted against a traditionalist past
that says—"no change, books only."
We hear so much today about computers, in
formation technology, Internet, cd-rom, that many
libraries have lost sight of what residents expect
to find when they come into a library. Certainly
we try to keep abreast of current technology—
we offer a number of online and offline reference

sources right now. Whether or not librar
ies will in fact ever become strictly infor
mation centers remains an open ques
tion. In the meantime technology and its
ancillaries have come to dominate think
ing and budgets in many libraries.
The speed of change in information
technology will cause many, many
changes in the format and style of deliv- "
ery of library service. My crystal ball does
not tell me what the final outcome will
be. There will be and are new ap
proaches to the age-old question that has
plagued librarians ever since the library
at Alexandria in Ptolemaic Egypt. “What's
a good book to read?" In fact, readers
advisory is becoming one of the most fas
cinating areas of library service and an
area of real growth and development of
library service. This also helps librarians
focus on what most people come into the
library to find—a good book.
Ironically the tools of the readers ad
visory trade are those of computers and
technology. These allow us to relate one
fiction book to another, produce lists of
”read-a-likes," recommend fiction from
obscure authors, and generally provide
a more indepth readers referral than we
ever could using only our memories and
our own reading tastes. Even the Internet
has become a great source for readers
advisory work.
The old fashioned way to learn about
new authors and titles is from another
reader. Our Summer Reading Club is
based on this idea and has been such a
success we are organizing a Winter
Reading Club to share new titles and to
introduce new readers to old titles.
Here is a short list of read-a-likes put
together by our staff:
If you liked Colin Powell's biography,
you'll like U.S. Grant’s Memoirs. If you
liked Primary Colors you’ll like All the
President's Men. If you liked The Last
Don. you'll like Honor Thy Father. If you
liked A Time To Kill, you'll like A Lesson
Before Dying. If you liked The Bean
Trees, you'll like Where the Heart Is. If
You liked Gods and Generals, you’ll like
KillerAngels. If you liked Fried Green To
matoes you’ll like Walking Across Egypt.
If you liked Midnight in the Garden of
Good and Evil, you’ll like A Death in White
Bear Lake. And finally if you liked Snow
Falling on Cedars. I know you’ll like En
emy Among Friends. Be sure to watch
for our Winter Reading Club.
