Summer, 1993
DEERFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY
Across the
Librarian's Desk
L
ibrary users have asked my reaction to
the two new book stores in
Deerfield—Barnes and Noble and
Borders. I don't know what the patrons
anticipated, but I do know they are
generally surprised by my answer. I guess
they think that I'll be overcome with gloom.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
The presence of Barnes and Noble, Borders
and Crown in our community is great!
Books are my life, as they
are for most librarians.
fit acknowledges Every time I go into those
three bookstores, it's like a
what we always
knew— Deerfield librarian's reunion—about
is a book-centered a fourth of the customers
are librarians. The more
community. P
access to books and ideas,
the better. There are so
many fine books printed every year that we
never see in our review media, so many
subjects that are only partially available
through trade jobbers. Bookstores in the
community—this is a librarian's dream—to
be a able to handle and browse so many
new books.
I am proud to be a librarian in a community
that three major bookstore chains have
targeted as a productive market. We in the
library always knew we had great library
users, but to have three major
conglomerates validate this by locating
stores here is a compliment from the savvy
marketers of the business world. It
acknowledges what we always knew—
Deerfield is a book-centered community.
The bookstores and the library have
similarities and significant differences. We
have a deeper and wider collection of
fiction, they have a wider spread of newer

Thank you!
We encourage book and book on cassette
donations of materials in good condition.
Thanks to many who have donated books on
cassette, we have a fine collection of over
1000 in subjects including inspirational,
motivational, self help and classics. Due to
popularity we'll accept duplicates!

materials. We overwhelm the bookstores with
our reference collections, business directories,
indexes, and our wonderful children's
department. Competition? The role of the
library is so different I certainly don't see
competition. More of a complement.
We can learn from them in the areas of
display, marketing and customer service.
The fact that Barnes and Noble has chosen to
schedule book discussions and children's
story hours head-to-head with our
established programs is taken by us as the
sincerest form of flattery. The one tool that
any of them have—that has obvious and
exciting implications for libraries—is Borders'
music access computer. I have been asked to
rate the three stores, but that would be
bordering on an endorsement.
Thank you!
A Sam and Mary Fosdick Memorial Garden
of perennial flowers will be planted in front of
the library this summer.
Thanks to AAUW, Author Gertrude Rubin,
and Junior Women's Club of Deerfield who
have been among book donors this year.
We don't have a coffee shop (yet) and 1 love
that aroma as I browse. But we have two things
that are far better within a half a block—the
great Deerfield Bakery and that Deerfield
institution—Harry's Grill. So when the spirit
moves you, visit the three terrific bookstores
we have in Deerfield, and then visit the
Deerfield Public Library. Great food for mind
and body a half block apart. I think you'll agree
we stack up pretty well to our commercial
bookstore neighbors and we're free.
A final note—the firecracker annual report we
handed out on July 4,1992 has won the Library
Public Relations Council Division I Award as
the best (small library) annual report in the
country last year. Congratulations to Sally
Seifert, our Public Relations Director.
