“What are you going to do
with the east room now that
the fiction has been moved out? Its
so empty!” (The room presently
houses videos, music CD's and cas-
D
settes, books on tape and biogra
phies.)
A top priority of Library Direc
tor Jack Hicks and the Library
Board's building committee is a re
organization of the entire main floor,
part of a five year renovation plan.
It will take some time and patience
to insure quality renovation which
makes best use of available library
space. The Board is presently issu
ing requests for proposal to several
architects familiar with library
needs.
The Deerfield Library building
is 23 years old and it has been nec
essary to examine needs and reno
vate one area at a time. Library ma
terials and services have changed in
substance and format in 25 years.
The library currently offers com
puter technology, compact discs,
video and audio cassettes which did
not exist in years past. The accelera
tion of technology also has future
implications. The library was de
signed to shelve 65,000 volumes and
is currently housing 155,000 vol
umes. With anticipated renovation
of existing space, the library should
be able to shelve almost 200,000
volumes yet return openness and
grace to our public space.
Library construction last year in
cluded a new, large elevator, front
entrance doors, ramps, accessible

bathrooms, and lowered drinking
fountains and telephones to comply
with Americans With Disabilities
Act. Then came restructuring of
lower level space to provide a new
fiction room. The room, completed
in fall, now provides 37% more pub
lic floor space in a quiet, newly fur
nished, pleasing atmosphere.

Across the Librarian’s Desk
Cynics say there is no history and skeptics say that
if we do not learn from history, we are doomed to
repeat it. I would hope—living in the midst of the infor
mation age—that we can learn and profit from the
knowledge that is so close at hand. As we enter 1996
it appears to me that we as a people are poised on the
edge of a new age of isolationism. I mean this both as
an element of foreign policy and as a general alien
ation between us as individuals. The new-isolationists seem all too willing to replace Lindbergh, Father
Coughlin, the America Firsters and Senator Borah as
the next breed of American Know-Nothings. Maybe
the old term “Mugwump" should be revived. I think we
should look with great skepticism when politicians tell
us we should enter a new era of America First.
What we can do to reduce the distance between
us as individuals is up to us as individuals, but the for
eign policy posture of the country is a national decision
we should all be focused on. How this has happened
at a time of unprecedented global economy is beyond
me. In no way should the United States be involved in
military adventurism or act as policeman to the world;
neither can we sink our heads into the mud. We should
have learned the lessons of isolationism fifty years
ago—that wrongheaded idealists can take a noble
idea and pervert it into an enfeebled and discredited

flmi| Simon Booh Fund
rj he Amy Simon Book Fund
was started in August, 1991.
Since then the Fund has been
responsible for the purchase of over
200 books...books that the Deerfield
Library would not otherwise have
had the funds to purchase.
Amy Simon attended South Park
School, Caruso Junior High, Deerfield
High School, class of’84, and gradu
ated from Cornell University in
1988. She was a voracious reader of
all kinds of books and was a great
student of foreign languages. Amy
was fluent in French, German and
Russian by the time she graduated
college and she learned Arabic while
serving in the Peace Corps in Mo
rocco. After returning home from
Morocco in 1991, she was killed in
an automobile accident in Utah.
This Book Fund was established
to reflect Amy’s interest in reading
and foreign languages as well as her
interest in learning about people of
the world. The Fund was recently
expanded to include purchase of
books about women in history. In
side each book purchased is a label
noting that it is part of this collec
tion. This Fund has been made pos
sible by the ongoing contributions
from Amy s family and friends. New
titles are constantly being added.

legacy—but it seems too few of us remember.
I have on my desk an exceptional book about
a large group of ordinary Americans who did ex
traordinary things. It is Dauntless, the history of
the 99th Infantry Division during WWII. The 99th
was raised up with an incredible mixed collection

these Gl’s learned all the skills and horrors of war,
exhibited enormous courage and rendered many
sacrifices. They learned about life. Their life expectancy in a combat infantry line company was
extremely short. Company C, 395th Infantry Regiment of the 99th Division, for instance, started its
war with 193 men who trained together in the
American South; by May 1945, only20of the original men were still with the unit.

Yes, these men learned a lot about war in the
months they spent in combat in Europe but the
overall lesson is stated clearly in the Epilogue of
the combat history of Company C. Wesley Peyton
writes, “In the long view of fifty years, though, it is

bors, is Charlie Company’s legacy. The men of j
Company C, 395th Infantry Regiment, 99th Divi- j

Remodeling Begins
NATIONAL LIBRARY
WEEK SPECIAL
T
he library is embarking on a
major remodeling project to in
crease space for the fiction col
lection. Lower level space now used
for offices, meeting room and boardroom will be merged with the down
stairs lobby to provide an additional
25% floor space, and 20% increased
shelfspace. In response to patron re
quests, the remodeling will provide
a quiet, spacious, reading area to
browse new books, read and consult
the Reader Services Librarian,

Business forecasting has always been done
in five- year increments. With the acceleration
of technology that threshold is now two or three
years, with many unforeseen changes skewing
the balance. We are now five years from the 21 st
century and the question is what the new cen
tury will hold for all of us. The mood of society
today—in spite of our economic well being—
seems to be that wherever it is we are, is not
where we want to be, and we are not comfort
able about it. I see change coming in areas be
yond our control: working women, age of the
population, Russia and computers.
Simple demographics tell us that the
workforce will be primarily female in 2001. That
clearly means no return to the 1950’s mom-athome image we hear touted as “traditional fam

into the workplace and it is questionable if she
will ever return to apron and kitchen. Demograph
ics also tell us that our population is aging sig
nificantly. I read that by 2010 we will have 50,000
citizens over 100 years old when we now have
less than 5,000. A majority of our citizens will be
over 50 years of age in 2010. Families will change.

Holiday Closings!

Sundays beginning May 28.
�Librarian's Desh (continued from page 1)
Can we project by looking back? Peering
back five years we see the fall of the Berlin
Wall and the disintegration of the Soviet
Union—monumental changes that no one ex
cept lunatics predicted. Certainly now the
challenge is to learn to live productively with
the strange, hybrid society that was spawned
and nurtured in the Soviet hothouse. This is
a major challenge not to be taken lightly—as
elemental as water, land and air. The hatreds
forged on the anvil of the Cold War must give
way if both former rival superpowers are to
regenerate themselves.
Computers and software use have qua
drupled in the past five years, with the hot
companies and monoliths alike responding to
market-driven pressures that have drastically
altered the computers and the corporate cli
mate. Correspondingly we have seen a sharp
acceleration in science and medicine.
Supercomputers, like the Cray, will lead to
profound discovery in all fields of research.
Fine. Now we have the INTERNET which has
had and will continue to have a tremendous
impact on society. Until now. computers have
just counted, sorted and analyzed data—but
with cyberspace and INTERNET we are ask
ing computers to assume the basic human
social function of communication. The great
and frightening line in Kubrick's 2001 was.
"Oh. this is so exciting" when in fact the lives
of 2001 scientists were bland as mush and
as dull as gruel. Cyberspace has the poten
tial to be more deadening than television,
more corrosive to the spirit than drugs.
Most creative ideas come from the fertile
minds of one person; real genius does not flow
from committees and focus groups. We are
now to believe that the creative process is
going to be altered by networks and shared
data. To visualize and conceive an idea is the
hard part; a committee can talk anything to
death. This is not to say I want to return to the
era of Victorian engineering—elegant drawings
and mathematics done in script by pen and
ink—but I doubt that creative thought itself is
in transition and we delude ourselves if we al
low an electronic servant to become cultural
master and destroyer. Virtual reality....what's
wrong with reality?
Distance is well known to lend enchant
ment. Along those lines, we hope you will en

sponsoring with the Deerfield Area Historical

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.
, , T
„
^ 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.
