A Vision for the
Library
by Don Van Arsdale, Deeifield Library
Trustee, Chair of the Long Range
Planning Committee (and Director of
the Winnetka Community House)
D
aniel Burnham said
“make no small plans
as they have no power
to fire men’s souls”. Due in part to
Mr. Burnham’s foresight and
vision, we enjoy Chicago as one of
the truly great cites in the world.
Ten years ago, the Deerfield Public
Library Board of Trustees and staff
created a Master Plan for the
library. Using community input,
this process resulted in a plan
which improved the library facility
in many significant ways. Some of
these improvements include: the
opening up and renovation of the
lower level resulting in the Tom
Parfitt Adult Fiction Room, the
installation of a public elevator,
Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA) improvements, renovation of
the children’s reading room, instal
lation of a new computer system,
remodeling of the front lobby and
the purchase of new materials.

Board President Sue Benn Retires
We are grateful to Sue Benn who has served on
the Deerfield Library Board of Trustees for 27
years and as president for the past twelve of
those years. In April she will step down from her
post. Originally appointed to the Board, she
became interested in the library while working on
book sales with the Library Friends Group.
Subsequently, she ran for office and won four
elections, each requiring six year terms. She has
particularly enjoyed the board work because of
the variety of personalities and friends she’s
made along the way.

Sue Benn
She has observed many changes in the Village since moving here in 1955
and raising her three children in Deerfield. “Life was simpler then,” she said
“yet there has been continuity in the library. It’s like raising a child; you
don’t notice the growth because you are so close to it.” She has overseen a
new roof, boiler system, major building renovation, ongoing computer tech
nology, policy changes and the challenge of making best use of available
space. Her fondest accomplishment has been hiring and supporting Jack
Hicks as administrative librarian. “Jack has hired an excellent staff, main
tains contact with the Village, the library profession, computers and a myri
ad of details.” Having worked so closely with staff and board on so many
projects she feels she is leaving a family. She modestly says of her years on
the board— “I got more than I gave.”
An active community member, Sue was elected 2002 “Volunteer of the
Year” at the Chicago Botanic Garden, and has many interests. She and her
husband Walt particularly enjoy trips to visit her children. She plans to keep
a close eye on the library’s future and to continue visiting almost daily as
she does now. (She might even volunteer again for the “sticky job” of.
lemonade service in the library which she has done every year for July 4th
Family Day).
On April 1 the Village will hold an election for a total of three openings on
the library board.

�A Vision for the Library
Continued from page I
The current Board of Trustees began a new long range plan
in 2001. Once again, we are looking to our residents for
input on how the library can serve your needs in the future.
We want to solicit your ideas about our services, materials,
hours, staff, programs, and facilities.
Your thoughts and opinions are essential to the success of
our plan. If you are contacted by POL, please take the 5-10
minutes to complete the telephone survey. If you are con
tacted to participate in a focus group, please consider say
ing yes.
We have contracted with the Public Opinion Laboratory
(POL) of Northern Illinois University to conduct a telephone
survey. Additionally, POL will conduct a series of focus
groups where we will delve into the information gleaned
from the telephone survey. We will listen and consider the
results of these conversations as we begin planning and
visioning the future of the Deerfield Public Library.
The library services are here for your enjoyment. We know
you want this to be an excellent community resource. We
want to position this library to meet the needs of current
and future patrons. Like Daniel Burhnam, we understand
that to prepare for the future, you must plan for the future.
Shelving in the “West Wing" main floor of the library has been
remodeled for videos, DVD's, CD's and audio books. Now there is
space to grow and to increase our collections. If you have any
trouble locating materials, please ask a reference librarian for
assistance.

□ Reminder: If you do not have your library card with you or your library card
has expired, you will have to have some type of approved identification before
you can check out materials or update your library card. Proper ID: driver’s
license, checkbook, voter registration or utility bill.
□ We have a checkout limit of five items on a subject—per family. This is to
insure that all of our patrons will have access to our materials. (Often school
assignments and other circumstances create sudden heavy demand beyond the
stretch of our collection).
□ Our unique card-operated Internet service is free to anyone 18 or older and
youth with signed parental permission. There is a one time sign up; your library
card is then scanned and you are eligible to use the Internet for up to one hour
per day. If you live in another community and do not have a library card, bring
ID and we will provide you with a special card. There are five Internet stations
in Reference plus a sixth 15 minute express station. In Youth Services there are
two stations. (Your library card must be current and free from fines!).

The library’s subscription to the Physicians Desk Reference online database allows
you to search free of charge for information on both brand name and generic drugs
and to check for drug interactions, adverse reactions, etc. If you have a Deerfield
Library card and an Internet connection, now you can find this information from
home or work without coming to the library — especially handy for those home sick!
Of course at the library anyone — with or without a Deerfield card — can use both
the database and the print book version of PDR.
Also available on the library’s website: INFOTRAC’S Health and Wellness Resource
Center, for full-text articles, medical reference books, drug information and more.

ue to the steadily increasing

To use the library’s Internet, you will
have to sign up only once. Staff will
enter your library card into our Internet
user database; after that, when you want
to use the Internet, you scan your library
card to activate your one-hour time
period. If you do not use a full hour,
you can use your remaining time later
the same day. (An on-screen clock
informs you of time remaining.) Your
session ends automatically after one
hour. Maximum total time online per
person per day is one hour.
Parental permission for those under age
18 is still required, and parents will
sign up their children at the Adult
Reference Desk.

�Across the Librarian’s Desk
Every so often you have a moment, or an
event, or you hear a song, that takes you
back in time and place. Sometimes in ajarring fashion, sometimes just a friendly
glance back. The recent death of Cyrus
Vance had both those effects on me. In
what seems like another life, a long time
ago, I and about a dozen other soldiers had
lunch with Cyrus Vance. It was one of those touchstones in life that
you remember with great clarity. I was a kid sergeant in the 8th
Infantry Division and Cyrus Vance was Under Secretary of Defense.
Memory no longer recalls what I ate for breakfast yesterday, but I
can remember clearly Cyrus Vance standing three feet away and
telling me how important my military job was. I also remember
exactly what we had for lunch, (inch-thick New York cut sirloin
never seen before or after on any of my Army chow lines.) We all
thought Cyrus Vance was impressive that day, he presented himself
well—good speaker, direct gaze, no-nonsense—talk about charisma.
Lost to memory is why he actually came to visit our unit, but he sure
did and his government led us into a dark morass.
Memory is a mystery: so much tiny detail gets stored away, but so
much just gets tossed aside by the memory process, apparently as
unnecessary to our day-to-day existence. But the special events, the
rallying points of our lives, stay with us. Defining moments like the
day we were married, when our children were bom, or when we
graduated from college or fell out of the apple tree and broke our
arms. All of these defining moments get frozen in time for later rec
ollection. I am sure they get planted because they are special—not
done everyday—one special event out of a million and one routine
days.
The Library is approaching just such a defining moment like that and
I would like to talk about it. For the past ten years the Library has
worked on upgrading and renovating every aspect of the building,
collection, programs, and services we offer. This started out with the
replacement of aging boilers but led to serious ADA remodeling, a
new accessible elevator, creating a new Fiction Room, total renova
tion of the main floor and then the Youth Services Department. The
final phase of the project was to move away from the JCPL computer
consortium and install our own computer.
In the meantime we developed and enlarged the book collection to
the point that Deerfield has the highest book-per-capita ratio of
any library on the North Shore. Programs were added and expanded, and services were extended. What guided the project from begin
ning to end was vision and a pretty durable long-range plan. But that
is now all the past. The long range planning and goal-setting that
drove us for ten years has been accomplished; now a future plan lies
ahead.
Marshall Field made a fortune and J.D. Powers has made an industry
out of the old phrase “give the lady what she wants”. The hard part is
knowing what the lady, indeed, wants. “Librarian in the Lobby” is a
program the Board added ten years ago to help us know what it is
our residents want and also how well or how poorly they think we
are doing. This project was original to this Library and has proved of
lasting benefit. Not only has the Board shown accountability and
access, but now we have a good profile of who uses the Library,
what they think about us, and how they perceive the future. We look
to the future as a great opportunity and the planning process as a way
to define what the Library is and how we serve our residents. The
new Long Range Plan will be our guide; we want you all on board.
What does this mean? First, we have no preconceived ideas as to the
destination of this plan.There will be study, focus groups, surveys,
and I am sure midnight oil burned on many long evenings before you
tell us what you want us to be. What we are looking for is mission
and goal—what we will study will be services, hours, programming,
staffing, technology, community partnerships (such as the ones we
have with AARP, the Historical Society and the National Family
Partnership) parking and access. We will also study you, our resi
dents, and we want you to help us. We will do a lot of analysis of our
strengths and weaknesses. Using our crystal ball will be the way we
try to put dimension on the future. We all know how fast technology
has changed us, who can grasp the acceleration of that change? We
will try.
What we seek is a durable and authentic game plan to take us ahead
another ten years and serve us well as the old plan did. Who will
help us? We hope all of you will to one degree or another. For
starters we have engaged the Executive Service Corps to survey staff
benefit and salary packages. What will follow will offer many oppor
tunities for community involvement. We take this process seriously,
we want no false starts, expensive failures or dark morass in our
future operations. We want to serve our residents with exactly the
programs, materials, services, and atmosphere they desire. In this era
of communication, technology and information the possibilities are
limitless.
Now, you ask what in the world does Cyrus Vance have to do with
the Library’s Long Range Plan? To me the Long Range Planning
process is like Vance’s visit. It is going to be a defining moment in
the history of this library and that memory will last, for good or ill,
for a very long time. Unlike my hazy, unclear, memory of Vance’s
motives and intentions the Library Board wants our intentions to be
clear- Yes, like Vance we want to present well, we want to speak
clearly, we
goingt0 have a direct g®2®.no nonsense, and (hope
fully) be charismatic.
Unlike the Army, we want to put steak on your plate every time you
come into the Library. We plan to involve everyone in Deerfield in
our planning process. Importantly, we don’t want anyone feeling—
“why did they do that”? We want this defining moment to be a long
lived one that is remembered like a favorite birthday.

Seventy-Five Candles on a Cake
by Sharon Greenspan Lewin, who received honorable
mention for this original poem in the recent Rosemary
Sazonoff contest. She wrote of the library’s birthday!
For the library—institution of
public learning-seventyfive candles are a tribute,
An achievement.
It incorporates the notion that we are immortal
Thru our words.
When we humans,
In Our Community,• • •
Go to blow out our birthday candles,
If there are seventy-five—we think of all those years.
Life is winding down.
Deerfield Assets for Youth
Program
This spring the library began participating
in a community-wide initiative sponsored
by the National Family Partnership of
Deerfield to emphasize important develop
mental assets for youth. The first three
assets are: a caring school climate, a caring
neighborhood and family support. Please
look at the library’s new display (east
room). Find related videos, pamphlets,
books and booklists and a poster listing
assets and how Deerfield youth scored. The
assets are also on the library’s web site:
www.deerfieldlibrary.org.
For info, contact NFP’s Lynn Tramutola,
847-940-1874.
Library Board Treasurer David
Wolff accepts the certificate from
Representative Karen May.
Why does the library live and age so gracefully?
It is home—to the words of mystical-angel inspired,
Writers, poets, jokers, illustrators—who imbue their creative
Spirit energy into print, and colored pictures, and novels.
To the poor and desolate, the abused and bemused;
It is the ability to take us away.
Historical Society Event
All are invited to attend the Sunday, June 2
Re-dedication of the newly restored Ott
Cabin at the Deerfield Area Historical
Society. In addition to a visit from U.S.
Congressman Mark Kirk, there will be
music and refreshments. The Historic
Village is open for Sunday weekly tours at 2
p.m. through September.
Ah, the smells and touches of the library>.
The feel of a well-worn Huckleberry Finn.
Or my pre-adolescent Nancy Drew Detective
The ever-present joy when I read to my one and only daughter,
"I’ll love you forever—As long as I'm living my baby you'll be. ”
Feel the first experiments at curling up in a library to do research:
First research paper in high school.
Then college, law school,
Studying for the bar exam in the library.
Savor those memories.

Our great television personality with her "use your life " series,
Marvels at how books saved her-made her,
(a small black girl from
Mississippi,) believe she could be
Anyone she wanted to be!
Now, she has millions reading about all parts of the world
they would never
be exposed to otherwise. Publishers herald her—
she has reinspired book
sales, book clubs, and libraries.
Some people feel the coffee house/bookstores have replaced
the library,
They are mistaken.
No history or the aura of old souls.
It is no coincidence, that, in the movie,
City of Angels, Nicolas Cage, (an angel) hung out at the
Los Angeles Public Library.
Remember the "Twilight Zone" with a main character who
only wanted to
be left alone to read?
There is a nuclear holocaust, everything is desolate:
He wakes up alive in the nibble, with books all around him
At first he is ecstatic.
Then, the horrific irony-hisglasses are smashed. He can’t read.
Our libraries and books need us as much as we need them.
From generation to generation,
In all stages of our growing up,
One could always find a book to elucidate on the subject;
Adolescence, Dating, Getting Married, Parenting,
Speaking to your kids of adolescence,
Taking care ofyour parents,
How to find good doctors, build houses, buy cars,
Find the right spiritual home.
We must remember in this land of the free---How we are free to have libraries.
In Afghanistan, and Iran books are banned.
In India, there are no public libraries.
So many immigrants talk of theirfirst experience of
Coming to America and being able to "borrow"free of charge
A library book.
In America we celebrate milestones.
We honor our birthdays and our anniversaries.
We know that, there but for the grace of God go I.
The cake should be big, big, big,
The banners should be big, big, and big
Shout from the rooftops,
We Deeifieldtonian readers are 75 years old.
We made it. We’re going to live to be 200.
Our books are our gifts from our ancestors, and legacy to our
descendants
Hail! Hail! Long shall we read.
