Message from the
Library Director
II is an honor to
-glsst* N
serve this commu
ft
■
\ 1
nity as your new
Library Director.
The Board, staff
and I seek to build
on the solid foun
dation set in place by former
Administrative Librarian Jack Hicks
and the others who have dedicated
themselves to our purpose over the years.
At our recent all-staff meeting, the staff
members and I began by reading our
mission statement together, aloud: “To
provide our community with open
access to the world of information and
ideas, encouraging lifelong learning
and personal growth in a welcoming
environment.” Each day we seek new
ways to make that happen.
Whether we continue to do this in our
present facility, or perhaps by pursuing
a newer facility to meet the community’s
needs in the future, our focus on this
mission will remain the same.
How will you make the best use of
your library—your access point to the
world of ideas and information?
Whether you enter through our glass
front doors or through our virtual portal
(www.deerfieldlibrary.org), we are
here, ready to serve your changing
interests and needs. Make yourself at
home here!

In 2006 the New York Times Book Review invited an esteemed panel to select the best

book!

�Across the Librarian’s Desk
There was a strange stillness. The
birds, for example where had they
gone? Many people spoke of them,
puzzled and disturbed. The feeding
stations in the backyards were
deserted. The few birds seen any
where were moribund; they trem
bled violently and could not fly. It
was a spring without voices. On the mornings that had
once throbbed with the dawn chorus of robins, catbirds,
doves, jays, wrens, and scores of other bird voices
there was now no sound; only silence lay over the fields
and woods and marsh. So began opening passages in
Rachel Carson’s 1962 classic, cautionary, tale Silent
Spring. The message of that book was immediate and
lasting: what man does to alter his environment can
sow the seeds of a terrible harvest. That book detailed
the inexorability, precision, and terrible lasting price of
unintended consequences.
Those lines were recalled to me late this summer when
my neighbors and I realized that the chorus of birds our
neighborhood had always enjoyed was silent. Gone were
the sparrows, the crows, the blue jays and robins, gone
were almost all the birds except ones passing through.
No longer was I awakened to the raucous caws of a
family of crows that frequented my backyard, no more
brazen blue jays. In fact no birds at all. The cause is, of
course, the West Nile Virus. Illinois leads the nation in
human cases of the illness and in the number of deaths
attributed to it. For reasons seemingly unknown to sci
ence, Illinois is the epicenter of this new and baffling
illness and the first to fall are our friends the birds. As
Rachel Carson had so accurately predicted, the birds
acted as the barometer of the health of the environ
ment.
Well-meaning voices have been raised to resurrect the
use of DDT—one of the most dangerous and persistent
poisons ever devised by man—as a possible cure.
One can only ponder if the old vaudeville punch line
wouldn’t literally be true: the proposed cure being
worse than the disease. I have watched through late
summer and now into fall for a return of the birds to my
yard. A few have come, but are quickly gone, and no
crow caws for my arising. Over the years hundreds and
hundreds of sparrows have called my backyard home
and my birdfeeder their Sunset Foods. I have housed,
fed, and nurtured a sprawling family of sparrows in my
yard for twenty-five years. This spring there were brood
after brood of new hatchlings in that birdhouse—the
insistent peeping announcing a new brood and the exit
of the fledglings.
Recently, I started to clean out my bird houses as I do
every fall—so that next year’s birds will have a clean
start on their child rearing. The wren house was empty,
the second general purpose house always cherished by
starlings was too. But the home place for my sparrows
brought upset. Amidst all the string, and feathers, and
sticks, and fluff there were the little abandoned
nests—forlorn in their vacancy. The final nest brought
sorrow. In it were three tiny shriveled, mummified,
sparrow nestlings and three unhatched eggs. The birds I
carefully buried in my flower garden along with two
cracked eggs. The third egg, perfect, speckled in mot
tled gray, white and brown. I put it in a finch’s nest I
had brought home from a backpacking trip of forty
years ago. I don’t know why.
This seems like a fall to reflect on unintended conse
quences and the price to be paid for our folly, hubris, or
ignorance. Those little dead birds broke my heart. I had
not had the good sense to realize that West Nile could
strike so quickly as to kill the parents in mid-flight. The
victims of our stupidity are always the tiny, the power
less, the innocent. The solutions I will leave to better
minds. But as Rachel Carson warned—it is always a dis
aster to rush headlong to conclusions, to push for solu
tions that may destroy more than they save, or to trust
loud voices more than good sense. Too many lessons, it
seems, get forgotten.

John A. Anderson Retires
from Library Board
After twenty- four
years of service, John
Anderson has moved
to Wauconda. He was
a Deerfield resident
for thirty- four years.
vr
First elected in 1977
and reelected in four
subsequent elections, Anderson’s
term spanned the period from when
the library was new all the way
through the recent renovations. He
provided leadership for two library
directors: Suzanne Whetstone and
Jack Hicks. A multi-faceted man,
Anderson was a strong advocate of
freedom of speech, access by all
residents to all forms of information
and of library literacy. He pressed
for renovation and the new comput
er system and he was instrumental
in bringing videos and other AV for
mats to the library. He said, “Many
problems were solved during my
tenure. I was glad to have been able
to contribute to this great library.”

Three Board
Members Elected
Jeffrey Blumenthal, Donald Van
Arsdale and David Wolff were elected
to serve on the Deerfield Library Board
of Trustees at the April 3 Village of
Deerfield election. All three have previ
ously served on the board. David Wolff
has been a board member for 12 years and held the office of secretary. Blumenthal had
been appointed last year. Both Blumenthal and Wolff will serve six year terms. Van
Arsdale served on the Board in 1994, and will fill the remaining four year term of Yvonne
Sharpe who resigned to move to Riverwoods. All three newly elected trustees are strong
library users and supporters.
The Deerfield Library Board of Trustees holds open meetings the third Wednesday of
every month at 8 p.m.
Under 18 Video Policy Changed
Matt requested and the board responded....
Joan Bairstow, right, Deerfield Library
Head of Circulation, gladly implemented
the board’s new video policy suggested by
Deerfield student Matt Tick, at left.
Matt Tick, Deerfield High School stu
dent, made a presentation to the library
Board of Trustees, and the Board respond

nile patrons may borrow video/DVD mate
rials on their own cards. Parents must give
the permission in person, and must assume
full responsibility for return, damage, fees
or fines for materials loaned under the pol
icy. The library is held harmless from the

�Across the Librarian’s Desk
The retirement of John Anderson from the
Library Board after twenty-four years of service
caused me to reflect on the fine board mem
bers who have served this library in the years
since the library was built. Many, like
Rosemary Sazonoff, were Deerfield stalwarts;
many were not known by the public but made
strong contributions to this library benefiting
the residents and the staff.
John was not the longest serving board member of memory. That
honor would go to former Board President Tom Parfitt, with current
President Sue Benn right behind in length of service. It is hard to sin
gle out individuals but some do stand out. Longtime Treasurer Tony
Sabato, who passed away last winter, taught me all I know about tax
levies and public finance. Rosemary Sazonoff taught me the power of
the press; Wilbur Page taught me respect for the physical plant and
how to take care of it. Sue Benn, especially, has shepherded me
through all our renovation projects for the past eight years and I owe
her more than I can tell. It is with sadness that we note the death of
former Board Member Charlene Reich in early May; she served with
distinction.
Currently the library has a mix of old and new board members. Sue
Benn brings over twenty years experience to the table, David Wolff
twelve years. Our younger members Don Van Arsdale, Sunday Mueller,
Jeff Blumenthal and Ken Abosch bring a renewed sense of energy and
enthusiasm as we look forward to long range planning and needed
community assessment to prepare ourselves for the future. Bill Seiden
has agreed to fill John Anderson’s position on an interim basis. This
board truly reflects the residents of Deerfield and will be a great asset
as we move into the reality of the information age.
As if we needed proof that it is indeed a small world we live in,
this spring Bill Seiden, current President of the North Suburban Library
System Board, and I were in Washington, D.C. for the American Library
Association’s Legislative Day. At the debriefing session held after a
long day on Capitol Hill I chanced to look over at one of our fellow
library advocates. I asked him immediately if he was the Don McCurry
who served so ably on the Deerfield Public Library Board twenty years
ago. Don’s reponse was, “How in the world did you know that?” It was
easy. Don had been a great board member. He had made strong contri
butions to the library, and had make a lasting impression. He was in
Washington as a board member of the Northern Illinois Library System
headquartered in Rockford. It seems Don has been involved in library
service for many years.
At this point it finally occurred to me that as boards have a
tremendous impact on their libraries, so do libraries have a lasting
effect on the board members themselves. It was a fine moment when I
introduced a current board member to one from many, many years ago.
Past and present became one, leading me to feel confident about this
library’s future.

ativity! If you plan to attend, please reserve your space!

and dramatic forms of poetry.
E3 Saturday, January 16,9:30 a.m. to noon. A poetry workshop for children, grades 2-5.
Hands-on exercises including image builders, five senses, colors, personal expression.

test. Winners will read from their work at the adult party at 2 p.m. Sunday, February 28

□ Youth Services Department remodeling
has been temporarily put on hold due to
financial constraints.
□ Marie Ward Reichelt’s History of
Deeifield is available from the Higginson
Book Company for $24.50 plus shipping.
The book originally written in 1928 for
Deerfield Post 738 American Legion, had
been unavailable recently. Purchase forms
are in the library.
□ Deaf, hard of hearing or speech impaired
patrons are reminded that the library has a
TTY (teletypewriter) at the Reference Desk.
You can call 945-3372 from your TTY and
conversations are typed from one machine
to another, rather than spoken.
□ Why do we we purchase more abridged
than unabridged books on tape? Many
patrons don’t want to carry 12 or more cas
settes when they ride the train or jog. Also,
fewer popular titles are available in
unabridged format and are costly. We are
increasing our unabridged collection but if
we do not own we can arrange an interli
brary loan for you. Ask a librarian!
