The Youth Services Department not only offers pre-school storytimes,
/X
but also invites preschool classes for department tours. A librarian will read a
\
story, give a tour, or help children learn where to find books they might like.
We also will visit preschools to tell stories or promote library programs. As they get older,
children take class trips to the library to learn the library's computers, find magazine articles
on-line, or find science fair information. Often books on specific school projects, such as
Native American Indians, are set aside for use in the library.
Visits to schools help us promote our books or reading programs. Tours for scout troops
often are held after school. We can offer materials, demonstrations of microfilm
machines or computers to fit your needs. As part of our mission to support
the community’s lifelong learning goals, we treasure our
relationship with the schools and local groups.

Library cards expire every 3 years for resi
dents of incorporated Deerfield. To update
your card, you must show some form of i.d.
You keep the same card and we update it on
the computer for you. If the card is worn,
we can replace it.
If you cannot find your card at check
out time, we can check you out with a valid
i.d. and a 25 cent fee, or we can hold the
item (non video) for a few days until you
return with your library card.
Asking for identification in both of the
above cases is done for your own safety.
You must register for your own library
card, not someone elses. The only exception
is a juvenile (under 18) whose parent must
register or update, showing i.d., for them.
We punch a hole on juvenile library cards to
show that the holder is under 18 years and
cannot rent videos.
Treat your library card as you would a
passport!
If you are a Deerfield resident and tempo
rarily or permanently unable to come to the
library because of illness, injury or disabil
ity, we can deliver mate
rials to your home. Sim- ^
ply call the library and ask
for Karen Kleckner. She, or her staff, will
contact you to find out what materials you
want and select materials or locate specific
requests. Patrons may request any 3-week
loan library materials.

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.

Fall 1997 ®
Deerfield Public Library •
Volume 13, Number 1
Classes Offered
Books IVIoved,
Becpire&
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.
In fall you will see more “sprucing
up” of public space. Architect R. Scott
Javore and Associates' plans have been
approved and renovation begins!

I saw the best minds of my generation

who dragged themselves through angry
streets at dawn...
uring September and
October the Reference
Department will offer
classes on how to use
Dynix, the online catalog, the

Hortin, Head of Reference, will
limit class size to four people to pro
vide individual training. A variety
of days and times will be offered.
Check schedule at front desk. Res
ervations are required. We will call
to remind you of your class as we
expect to have waiting lists.
Those lines from Allen Ginsberg’s epic poem, Howl,
summed up and energized a whole generation in the
1950’s. I remember the first time I heard Ginsberg read
live from his work; it was like being hit by lightning.
Ginsberg's rhythms, wild phrasing, and meaningless
imagery overturned everything I had been taught, ev
and then
they said that

erything that gave order and discipline to writing, espe
cially poetry. I followed Ginsberg's career, work and
^M
life, over the years and always felt that he was the moral
ethical spokesman for my generation. I did not always
agree with either his life or his work, but his insight and
w
artistry plumbed the central issues of our age. Yes, he
occasionally verged on the bizarre in his appearance
y
and his poetry, but there always remained the vital, moral
ethical voice that never failed to ring out defining free
dom, individuality, and resistance to life lived as a cli
che. Allen Ginsberg's work will live forever, discussed,

�Author Wlsoftss
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
Dot. Cousteau: The Living World; Silent World;
Jacques Cousteau's Calypso; Riches of the
Sea and Thex Sea in Danger.

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

tured the Deerfield Public Library’s
70th anniversary in the January 9
issue. They wrote “The Deerfield Li

community. Although not the
North Shores largest in size or vol

performance. Hicks and the elected

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.

to find when they come into a library. Certainly

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.

�Librarian's DesH continued
it must to cope with the nature of a
dynamic society—dead languages
reflect dead cultures. The way our
language is evolving, what we are
soon going to have is a cross
between Victor Borge and the brutal
language in Anthony Burgess’s book
about a ruthless, soul-less future, A
Clockwork Orange.
Here is a tiny sampling of the
non-words that are commonplace in
our new non-language: go to the
mat, input, surf—which is both a
computer and sports cliche,
risktaker—who is always rewarded,
cyber-anything, paradigm,
sidemantle, interactive, stake
holder—who was someone in the
Boy Scouts who helped put up your
pup tent, outsource, and the feared
outplace, ecosystem, access,
gatekeeper—who is good at getting
money in but never letting it out,
enable, empower, supercomputer,
virtual reality, cheese food—
whatever that is, learning curve—
which I always seem to be behind,
parameters, interface, share,
enriching, network, downsize—the
dreaded catch-word of the 90’s,
advocacy, quality time, information
superhighway which we all surf. Oh,
these words and the sentences they
bloat—they’re just so, so meaningful.
I use what I call the Kentucky
Colonel test when I read jargon and
drivel--if I can insert the phrase Ken
tucky Colonel in place of the catch
phrase and the sentence still makes
sense, you’re in trouble.
What I hear and see falls into about
four general categories: the increasing
use of non-words, the horrible mispro
nunciation you hear on television, the
overuse of cliches, and finally—maybe
the worst—the worthless habit of turning
nouns into verbs.Throw in the computerisms and sports terms that have crept
into daily usage and you find a language
that is losing the power of expression.
What is it we want from language? First
and foremost the language must be of
specificity to avoid ambiguity (yet not
mimic German). But we crave and
demand more; there must be beauty—
even grandeur from our language The
English language has always been
renowned for its power, beauty, and
expressiveness—it has the potential to
stir our souls—the most lyrical and
descriptive language on earth.
We have always welcomed words
from other languages, because they
often express an emotion or feeling
better than old stale words. Terms like
bungalow and badminton from India
have become staples of the English
language. I would suggest that up to
now our language has followed a
natural transformation to make words
more effective or expressive. The word

pollution now prevalent is not that
kind of transformation—instead of
making words more effective, the
drive is to make words more
accessible. Accessible language
panders to the lowest instincts, not
the most noble, to produce a
meaningless choreography of banal
words. Maybe the use of non
language is directly proportional to
our efforts when we try to simplify an
increasingly complex world, or when
we just shirk our duty to think.
Language is probably the most
perfect barometer we have for a
society; it reflects exactly and totally
who we are and what we think. Our
language has begun to emulate our
domestic architecture—no front
porch, but elaborately enclosed
backyards. Maybe our language is a
perfect metaphor for today; it reveals
all that we are willing or able to
reveal about ourselves. I would like
to think otherwise; but words speak
louder than hopes and words are
definitely losing as we surf our way
out into the mainstream of the
information superhighway. What will
the permanent barometer of our
language record about us?

Board and Administrative
Librarian have selected R.
Scott Javore and Associates from
among seven candidates to redesign
the main floor of the library. Javores
firm, located in Glencoe, Illinois,
specializes in architecture, interior
design and historic preservation.
This first floor renovation is part
of a five year plan begun in 1992
with installation of a new heating
system, compliance with
R
the American Disf/L, abilities Act, and
'iff most recently reuM structuring of the
lower level for the
^ Thomas E. Parfitt Fiction Room. We now
embark on the first
floor renovation. It should be able
to provide shelving for almost
200,000 volumes, yet return an
open feeling, grace and functional
ism to our public space.
The architects have been meeting
with the board and the library staff
to gather information on how the
library operates and what is needed.
During the summer they will be
working on a schematic design to
reconfigure the space as it now exists.

I wrote this prose poem in 1981 to help me
resolve the loss of a good friend in Vietnam. For
Memorial Day 1996 I urge you to remember our
veterans. We all too often forget that Memorial
Day is more than a three day weekend; it is a
day of tribute to all those veterans who never
came home. There are 58,000 names on the
Vietnam Memorial Wall. Below is my memory of
one of them. As a word of explanation, Hamline
is my university in St. Paul, MN and my military
service delayed my graduation by four years.
I have carried this in my billfold for 15 years and
refer to it often not only to remember my friend,
but also to remember who I am.
Every Autumn
My memories of Hamline are always set in
Autumn.
Where early moons made flat transits across the
midwest landscape.
A place whose falling leaves and football games
run on eternal.
The enduring thing I came away with was people.
We all met young.
Some, like my wife I see everyday.

Now, all of us have had the great passions and
loves, diapers, mortgage payments and apron
; strings—triumphs and defeat, that make us
what we are—real life—cur other Alma Mater.
j We have learned that life comes out in full, not
even numbers.
Time flattens, but does not erase, any of
those memories.
My vision sharpens when I think of certain
: people.
Friends with faces forever young so far
away in time.
Off somewhere today—leading lives parallel
to mine.

gawking, whose cackling laugh got us through
so many dread chapels.
I, Standing in the rain to debate a convocation
speaker.
Face to face over a library table, discussing—

For the first time ever, the Adult and the Childrens summer reading clubs, though completely

three new ways to
serve you better...
Program cards are required for any child
participating in one of our registered pro
grams. (Ticketed events, summer or winter
reading, or drop-in events are excluded.) Par
ents must present a Deerfield card at the Youth
Services desk to fill out a program card for
each child. These cards will have the infor
mation we need to register efficiently: name,
address, phone number and birth date. Once
a card is in our files, anyone you choose may
register your child either in person or by phone
for storytimes and workshops. Please fill out
these cards prior to registering for programs.
We have computer access to magazines for
children’s research. With Gateway Access,
you can search magazine, articles on topics of
current interest. You can search by subject or
keyword to locate article citations, abstracts,
and in many cases, the entire text. One of these
computers has a printer attached. Please ask
for assistance.
A CD-Rom computer can access a multimedia encyclopedia to help with home
work. We hope to add more research tools to
it in the future. Please remember that the en
cyclopedia is not a game. Children under
seven should use it only with a parents assis
tance. To be fair, please limit time.

“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

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.

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

the combat history of Company C. Wesley Peyton
writes, “In the long view of fifty years, though, it is

Company C, 395th Infantry Regiment, 99th Divi- j
