Changes in the
Library seem to be
everywhere, and the H
remodeling has not even begun!
Interested community members
can learn more about the Library’s
proposed design concepts and
progress through the approvals
process at public information
sessions in June. (See details
below).
i
.
While we are busy designing the
remodeling and expansion, we
have also been installing
improvements and “testing” new
services for the existing Library.
The addition of automated check
out stations and check-in conveyor
system are the most visible
examples. Initial public reaction
has been strongly positive, and
many patrons say they are
surprised by how quick and easy it
is to use. The most frequent patron
concern we have heard is the fear
that our fine staff members may
lose their employment as a result
of automation. This is not the case!
Patrons will continue to see
familiar faces ready to offer
assistance throughout the Libraiy.
Come visit us soon!

Friends continue to accept gently used hardback and paperback

two shopping bags or boxes per week. Please bring donations to the
Patron Services Desk.
• The Friends need volunteers from the community to help sort and
shelve the used book donations. Any amount of time and help is
appreciated. Please contact the Friends for more information.

Volunteer Opportunities @ the Library
Teen Advisory Board
Join the Teen Advisory Board! As a TAB member you can help come up with
programming ideas for teens at the Library, talk about books, magazines, movies, and
music with other Deerfield teens, help create content for the library’s website, and
more. If you are interested in becoming a member call or email
reference@deerfieldlibrary.org and ask for Madeline, the teen services liaison.
A public library is—among
many other good things—
public. Common sense (and
Library policy, by the way)
says that parents and
caregivers must stay with
children under nine. In
addition, be mindful of
purses, backpacks, laptops,
or anything else of value; and
let Library staff know of any
suspicious activities right
away. Have you noticed we
have added security cameras
at each Library entrance?

Across the
Librarian's Desk
r
irst of all, I would like to thank the
voters who supported the Library
referendum. They grasped that a new
library is needed in Deerfield and that it
would be an exciting resource for the whole
community, providing a wider range of
educational, cultural, and information ser
vices to everyone. Also, I would like to thank
Bill Darrow and the Friends of the Library
for their enthusiastic efforts on our behalf.
Secondly, I truly appreciate the thoughtful
endorsement of the Library referendum made
by the editorial staff of the Deerfield Review.
Diverse opinions as shown in the ballot box
are the foundation and the beauty of a
democracy. That’s why the Library chose to
go to the voters to determine if the desire to
expand the Library was reflected in the
community. After three years of planning, we
knew it was important to hear what all the
residents had to say. We had tried our best to
publicize our planning process: we had
articles in every issue of our Browsing
newsletter for the past three years and
numerous articles in the Deerfield Review,
plus our one-thousand-respondent citizen
survey and twelve focus groups. We held a
library open house and provided ample
settings for the community to ask questions.
The next step would have been to hire an
architect and a library consultant to design a
library and produce architectural plans. That
step would, by necessity, have been a very
expensive one. Before that was done, we
needed to know exactly what the residents
were willing to pay for.

25 Years of Cooperation Between the
Deerfield Schools and the Library!
Students’ lack of library know-how led Geri Spinella, (then a language arts teacher,
now assistant principal of Caruso Middle School), to consult with Jack Hicks, (then
a reference librarian, now library director) to begin a joint library instruction
program that has been running for 25 years. The program was designed to bring
students into the public library to learn how to use library resources. Jack Hicks
said, “Our goal was to widen students’ horizons for doing their assignments. We
have many resources that the schools do not have. As Deerfield Library was among
the first libraries in Illinois to
offer new information tech
nology, Geri was anxious for
students to learn new tech
nologies. Also, since we are
open evenings and weekends,
students can come in to use
library materials after school
hours...good value for
Deerfield taxpayers whose
children are in school!”
This program requires hours
of coordination between the
teacher and the librarian, scheduling times, selecting topics, and preparing many
resources. Once here the students also work with the Youth Services and
Circulation Departments. The Library welcomes this opportunity to show young
users what the public library has to offer, particularly online magazine databases
with full-text articles, available for printing or emailing. Also, the students are
pleased to find that, with their library cards, they can use home internet access to
reach the Library’s online databases.
This January and February eight Caruso Middle School classes came into the
Library twice for an hour each time to pursue their personal research projects.
Coordinators were Judy Hortin, Head of Reference, and Caruso language arts
teacher Leslie Gordon. Leslie, who has been with the program for 20 years, said,
“For many of our students, it is an eye opening experience to see how much they
can find in the Library on one topic.”
Both the Library and Caruso hope that this cooperative mission gives students a
skill that will serve them throughout their academic careers and beyond.

continued from page 1
Built in 1970, and not designed for technolo
gy, our building has reached the limits of its
structure. All available space has been used.
Starting in 1991 and ending in 1996, the
Library underwent renovations to maximize
the use of the space potential in the building
and bring it as close as possible to Americans
with Disabilities Act standards. Those
renovations were designed to give the Library ten to fifteen years
added lifespan. The goals of the remodeling have been reached but
can go no further.
Over the past three years, through surveys and resident input we
have heard clearly that our residents want the Library to remain
where it is in the center of town. We have also heard from residents
that they want more services, more meeting room space, more
programs, books and other materials. Currently, we must turn a
sympathetic but deaf ear to these requests.
The result of the vote leaves us with few immediate options other
than to redefine service within the present building. Library staff are
pursuing alternatives for the replacement of the roof membrane, air
handlers, and air conditioning condensers and compressors. These
repairs can mean expensive investment in an aging structure. The
vote also means the closing of the window of opportunity to pur
chase adjacent property for logical expansion. A number of civic
leaders have spoken about the importance of this quadrant remaining
the “governmental” quadrant, but that is now beyond Library control.
Some people have urged me to move heaven and earth to purchase
the apartment building to the north of the Library. Such a move
would break faith with the intentions of the taxpayers and is not one
I will initiate. Though loss of that land limits our future options,
frankly we do not have the resources to purchase that building—that
would take third-party intervention.
This is the first time in thirty-five years we have asked Deerfield
taxpayers to approve a referendum. The Library, in fact, has a
spotless record of operating within budget over those thirty-five
years. Much has been said about the size and cost of our proposed
library. In the past ten years, all over the United States, there has
been a renaissance of library building. At the same time more than
twenty-five libraries have been built in Chicagoland. We are very
familiar with all of this construction and the opportunities it has
brought to their communities.
These new libraries do indeed represent a point of departure over
libraries of the past. The communities that have built new libraries
have observed that in the age of Internet, the need for library service
has not diminished but has grown. Contemporary libraries are techni
cally and structurally complex buildings that are expensive. Add to
that the fact that structural steel and aluminum have risen in price
over 30% in the past year, and the cost of new libraries comes into
perspective.
We will continue to do what we have always done best: address the
needs of the community for the future and keep abreast of emerging
library trends in technology, programs, services, and materials. To
those ends the Board has been working with the Executive Service
Corps to begin work on a strategic plan that will address the future of
this building and user services, all based on progressive professional,
personal service. The Board is committed to providing vision and
leadership to ensure that the Library is not on a trajectory that could
see it fall behind libraries in neighboring communities.

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

Progress
A report on the year 2000,
Deerfield Library’s Year of
Renewal
During our millennium year we strived to
become a focus in our community, where ren
ovation was the word for the whole Village.
We were involved with bricks and mortar,
computers, landscaping and elevators and still
managed to add over 10,000 books, videos,
audio cassettes and... new this year DVD’s
and books on CD... and to serve all your
information needs.
Our Community where hundreds took passports
behind the scenes to view each department;
music, beanie baby prizes and food were pop
ular! The Bristol Renaissance Faire visited us
in May, taking us back to the 16th century as
Queen Elizabeth Tudor knighted the children,
townspeople picnicked on the lawn and music
and dancing provided a leisurely contrast to
our 21st century.
Programs
We held 61 adult programs, including several
co-partnered with the Deerfield Fine Arts
Commission, Deerfield Area Historical Society,
U.S. Foreign Policy Association and North
Suburban Library System. We offered income
tax assistance, flu shots, voter registration,
free July 4 lemonade, Ravinia passes, the 4th
annual Rosemary Sazonoff Creative Writing
Contest, 15 classes on using the Internet and
monthly Librarian in the Lobby, our “in person
suggestion box”.
We served Deerfield schools and students
with our annual Student Government Day,
where we learn along with our teens, and with
library instruction for junior high students.
Youth Services Reading Roundup has been a
rousing success for 2-8th graders, and
Exploring Art Through Literature workshops
are the talk of the town. Crafts and storytime
are popular Family Fun Night activities.
Library visitors from the Chinese Academy of
Sciences said, “If only we had something like
this for our children in China!”
Other projects finalized this year are lobby
and entrance remodeling to meet ADA stan
dards, rebuilding of an elevator, and rebuilding of the west garden (Youth Services area),
Cell phone use was banned to make the library
more peaceful
Progress
Plans for the future include a revamp of the
AV room to become more accessible and
attractive: new lights and proper shelving for
books on tape, videos and DVD’s
Jeff Blumenthal was appointed to the
library board to replace Yvonne Sharpe in
2000. Bill Seiden also served in 2000 as presi
dent of the North Suburban Library System. In
2001 Bill Seiden and John Anderson will leave
their Deerfield Library board positions and a
2001 spring board election will bring changes
to the makekup of the library board. We were
saddened at the death this year of Tony
Sabato who retired from the library board in
1997 after 19 years of service.
During 2000, Glenn Poch was selected Head
of Technical Service and spearheaded new
computer installation. Better equipment and
response time has brought us up to speed for
the 21st century and we shall continue to
enhance our collection, and provide valuable
service to our community.
Projects
Readers of all ages pledged to read 100
books in 2000 in our Century Readers Club. By
December, 5000 books were read and a
reception was held for those ach.ev.ng this
admirable feat. Read Around the World clubs

Winter, 1992-93
Across the
Librarian's Desk
T
his month ends my twentieth year at
the Deerfield Public Library. Many
people have asked about the changes
I've seen in those short twenty years.
There have been tremendous observable
physical changes: Lake Cook Road was a
two lane country road, no Northbrook
Court, you could park
alone Deerfield and
w I wonder
Waukegan Roads in the
what the
downtown area, of course
future
holds
the gun club blasted away
for
us?
M
every weekend and a pony
ride farm was located
there. The schools were growing to cope
with a burgeoning student body (some
things have come full circle), and I could
ride my bicycle out my back door all the
way to Crystal Lake and never see a car.
Traffic now defines us. Sara Lee, a good
neighbor for forty years, is gone and the
fragrance of the evening baking only a
memory. The brickyard and the boat storage
is forgotten by most of us. Volkswagen of
North America was headquartered in
Deerfield, but they left before the Lake Cook
Corridor developed.
DEERFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY
Effects of System Budget Cuts
n the last issue of "Browsing" the
State of Illinois Budget cuts for
Library Systems were discussed.
Many residents have asked how those
cuts are affecting service at the Deerfield
Public Library. The services were
previously delivered by the North
Suburban Library System but now the
Deerfield staff must do all the leg and
paper work.
i
has been seriously disrupted. A long-term
solution will be to develop a new
magazine directory, new computer
products giving access and locations,
additional local spending, and increased
reliance on local networking. This will cost
Deerfield money at the local level and
deflect resources. What these costs are
will be determined by experience over the
next year.
The service cuts have a direct impact upon
delivery of magazine articles, books, and
audio visual materials Deerfield does not
own. Right now the Library is coping by
using the telephone to arrange direct loans
and access to non-library materials. The
North Suburban Library System has
instituted new protocols and procedures
for sharing other libraries' collections and
is in the process of compiling a computer
product to aid this sharing.
Students of all ages, retirees, working
people, and businesses have all felt the
cuts. Many residents have voiced anger at
library staff for cuts the staff had no voice
in making. The Library does not have
unlimited resources to make up this
shortfall. The question of whether or not
the measures detailed above will return
library services to the levels we used for
twenty years is as yet unanswered. What
is known is that the way we are currently
coping will the shortfall is ineffective and
expensive, often resulting in patron
disappointment. A patchwork fix will not
replace coordinated statewide efforts. ■
These are stop gap measures at best
because service levels and resident
satisfaction have been reduced.
Coordinated and systematic library service
REMINDER
A more telling comment would be how
much Deerfield has remained as it was:
The same interesting residents, who show

new meaning to "shop 'til you drop"
and has prepared a booklet, "Thou Shalt

10 discount stores, out-of-town outlets
and share stories with the audience.
I would never have expected that our school
age population would rise again, but it is
surely doing so, nor would I have predicted
all the traffic, yet Lake Cook and Waukegan
Roads seem to be the axle of the universe on
any given rush hour. Computers have
entered our lives and the library too— never
to go away, I assume. My old departed friend
Sam Fosdick used to say that Deerfield
would become merely a collection of "real
estate offices, hair parlors, and grocery
stores" as suburbia moved beyond us to the
western suburbs and our real shopping was
done elsewhere. I wonder.

The residents have made the Library an
interesting career for me. I have gotten to
know so many of them— they have
stimulated and guided me, they have made
this job worthwhile. The many children I
helped twenty years ago are now adults and
give me my greatest satisfaction. I wonder if
the next twenty years will go past as quickly
as the first? As to the future, I haven't got a
clue except I know it won't be boring. ■

Across the
Librarian's Deski
Librarians are beguiled by the idea
that they are harbingers, arbiters, and
decision makers when it comes to
taste, culture, education and all things
literary. Especially in the growth and
development of their own library's
collection and services. I am as guilty
of this as any librarian. Sometimes
events bring you down to earth.
This past winter saw the deaths of
two long-time Deerfield Library
patrons — Marion Cole and Sam Fosdick. They were both great library
users who guided us, chided us, and
led the Library to provide many of the
materials and services we offer today.

Both Marion and Sam knew how to
use libraries, what a library should be,
and how a librarian can mediate and
facilitate the use of the collection to
the public. They were both lifetime
readers.
Reflecting on Sam and Marion as
patrons and people makes me realize
how important and close the relation
ship is that develops between a
library, its librarians and the residents.
Librarians often forget the tremendous
impact the patrons have on what we
do, who we are, and how we do it. I

• Librarian's Desk (continued fromP. i)
we are client-driven. In the case of
Sam and Marion I would say we
were gently led to do our best.
Marion's influence on reference
service in this Library cannot be
overstated. She insisted on a high
level of service, interlibrary loan, and
a strong reference collection. Marion
never accepted a lame or tired
answer in lieu of real service. She
helped set our standards for refer
ence and made us live up to them.
Sam was a dapper and urbane
gentleman who expected exactly the
same high level of service. His rogu
ish but gentle sense of humor often
concealed a very incisive message.
Sam's advice about our Business Ref
erence Room has changed how that
room is organized, what we have in
there, and how the staff interprets
the collection to the public.
Knowing and working with Mar
ion and Sam for so many years was
always interesting. Many people
think a public library would be a
great place to work if you could just
keep the public out. It is wonderful
patrons like Marion and Sam who
make library work and developing
that library — its services and collec
tion — so rewarding and such a plea
sure. There are so many people who
have influenced us over such a long
period of time that it would be hard to
name them all. Libraries are indeed peo
ple places. Two of them, Marion and
Sam, both people I am glad to have
known, will be missed by all of us.

History of the

— In 1930 we cir
culated 1000 books
per month; in 1991’92, we circulated
1000 per day! Yet Deerfield Library
takes the smallest bite (2.5%) of the
Village property tax payment and
serves all ages.

William Cormier reports a record 250
people came to the library for free tax
assistance offered by the AARP and
the IRS this year. That's 100 more than
last year. Changes in the tax laws this
year may have prompted the increased
activity.
