Jack Hicks and Chris Kopeck
prepare for the 2003 show.
The Library’s Punch and Judy Players will celebrate their 30th birthday with a
performance of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic —Treasure Island - an exciting
tale of pirates Saturday, November 8 at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. (space limited, register
early!) For all ages!
The Library’s puppet theater was built in 1973 by Administrative Librarian Jack
Hicks and was intended to last no longer than two or three years. That first year the
theater was featured as the Library’s float in the Fourth of July Family Days Parade
and was the focus of a summer long puppet workshop for sixth graders in the
Youth Services Department.
What grew out of a $400 gift from the Deerfield Newcomers Club in 1973 has
'M
.1
now lasted 30 years and entertained thousands of children and their parents. Thanks
r t
v
Newcomers.
That first year saw the beginning of a repertoire puppet company—The Punch
and Judy Players—which over the years has staged hundreds of performances. The
plays remain the old standards—Sleeping Beauty, Treasure Island, Rumplestiltskin,
Puss in Boots, Beauty and the Beast, St. George and the Dragon, Pecos Bill, Frog and
Toad, Anansi the Spider, Three Billy Goats Gruff, as well as some written by Library
staff—Dinosaurs in Deerfield and Masters of the Hidden Planet.
The Punch and Judy Players themselves come from all the
Departments in the Library— Jack Hicks and Sally Brickman,
fy?
Administration; Chris Kopeck and Cindy Schilling from Youth Services;
Judy Hortin from Reference Services; Sidney Barnes, Circulation; and
many others over the past 30 years. Our puppets were all designed and
hand sewn by our Staff Artist, Betty Reschke. One of our greatest
rewards comes when young parents relate to us that they saw a perfor
mance at the Library when they were young and they have now brought
their children to see Punch and Judy.
Some people have asked why we still do puppet plays in the age of
video and computer games. Simply because puppets are a counterpoint to
Hollywood and TV. You do not need computers, play stations, Dolby,
Panavision, Rambo, Power Rangers or Bat Man to entertain children and
they get a full and steady dose of that kind of electronic entertainment
elsewhere. We are convinced that puppetry reflects literature, encourages children to read,
and makes the books they have read come alive to them. The puppets are in a child’s
scale, they are a live performance, they stimulate imagination, and they are not seen
elsewhere with any regularity. So, we invite one and all to celebrate 30 years with us as
we perform an old favorite—Treasure Island.

“This Library is Like a Great
Gift in My Life”
J
udging by the Spring, 2003 community survey prepared by the Public Opinion
Laboratory of Northern Illinois University, many area residents share the feeling of
the patron whose comments headline this article.
The POL’s random telephone survey of 1,003 library users found that the library is serv
ing the community well, with a great deal of satisfaction regarding current hours of
operation and high positive ratings. “86% of library users rate Deerfield Library as
“excellent, or very good”. Highest ratings went to a “helpful/knowledgeable staff’.
A very large 85% of respondents were library cardholders and 73% of respondents had
visited the library in the past 12 months.
How do people use the library? Five main reasons include: recreational fiction and non
fiction reading, borrowing videos, utilizing materials and programs, and using the
library reference materials.
The survey also showed that the majority of residents, regardless of length of residency
in the community, responded favorably to expansion and most preferred expansion at
the present location. A space needs study last spring by Anders Dahlgren of Library
Planning Associates found that the library (currently at 31,162 square feet and fully
used), should be 38,600 to 54,000 square feet just to meet the current needs to accom
modate a growing print and non print collection as well as to meet the needs for reader
seats, offices, library programs and story time rooms. Unfortunately vertical expansion
in the present location is complicated and difficult as the building’s roof is not stressed
for the load.
During the summer the POL conducted twelve focus groups for staff, village officials,
kids, parents, seniors, non users, younger childless residents and Riverwoods/
Bannockburn residents.
All of the information culled from the survey and focus groups will become part of a
long range plan to be developed by the library board. A long range planning committee
of the board has already devoted many hours to preparing a documented plan/vision for
the library which will best serve its thousands of users. The survey showed that patrons
see the library’s role as a cultural and intellectual community center of the village with
something to offer everyone; this will be taken into consideration in future planning.
Reference copies of the completed space needs and community survey reports are avail
able to the public at the Library’s Reference Desk.
This online subscription database is avail
able to all, free of charge, on computers in
the Deerfield Library’s Reference
Department. It is also accessible to
Deerfield Library cardholders at home or
work via the library’s website, www.deerfieldlibrary.org (Then click Online
Databases, then Infotrac and be ready to
enter your Deerfield library card number
when asked).
A useful tool for investors, business
people, consumers and students, the
Business & Company Resource Center
database includes: magazine, journal, &
newspaper articles (many full-text); indus
try overviews & rankings; and a broad
range of company information including
financials & reports. In addition to the
many periodicals indexed in full- text arti
cles, other database sources include:
American Wholesalers and Distributors
Directory, Brands and Their Companies,
Business Rankings Annual, Encyclopedia
of Associations and more. For additional
information and assistance please contact a

board member Ken Abosch has been
appointed a special advisor to the

the Long Range Planning Committee
until June, 2004.

members, Jeff Rivlin’s place of

Winter 1989-90

A hearty welcome to the new North
Suburban Library System Director, Sarah
Long. Sarah has had an interesting library
career, including a stint in England. She
comes to our local system from Portland,
Oregon. Sarah is quite well known in the
world of libraries, and we are fortunate to
have her as head of NSLS. I wish her all the
best in the coming years. The nice part is
that she is a Deerfield resident.
The book I am recommending this month
is Among Schoolchildren, by Tracy Kidder.
When you think of fine creative writing,
fiction is usually what comes to mind; but
I feel that some of our most creative writers
today are writing in the non-fiction tradi
tion. Four are John McPhee, Richard
Rhodes, Paul Fussell, and Tracy Kidder.
Together they have written nearly forty
books—all of them fine, creative writingall fascinating.
Some of the recent titles are: John
McPhee—Outcroppings, Rising from the
Plains, Heirs of General Practice. Richard
Rhodes—Farm, The Making ofthe Atomic
Bomb, The Last Safari. Paul Fussell—
Wartime, Thank God for the Atom Bomb,
and interestingly, a book about my all-time
favorite author, Siegfried Sasson’s Long
Journey. Tracy Kidder has back-to-back
best sellers in his books House and Among
Schoolchildren. These are outstanding
books.
Among Schoolchildren traces the yearly
accomplishments of a very uncommon
grade school teacher as she practices her
skill among seriously deprived fifth
graders. Kidder captures the daily
classroom life, the interaction of the
children and the caring that the teacher,
Mrs. Zajac, brings to each child and each
day. The Chicago Tribune described this
book as “stirring hearts and minds...in the
necessary, caring heroism of a dedicated
fifth grade teacher.
This genre of creative non-fiction is not
a new phenomenom, but these writers bring
enormous talent, style, and craft to bear on
a type of book too frequently overlooked.
I urge you to read one of their books.
Talking Books for the Reading Disabled
The Deerfield Library participates in the
Library of Congress National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped. This is a free national library
program for visually and physically
handicapped persons who are unable to
read or use standard printed material
because of blindness, visual disabilities, or
physical limitations.
The National Library Service produces
full length books and magazines on recorded disc and cassette and in braille. Special
cassette and record players are provided in

As the decade comes to a close, and holi
day time brings us thoughts of good will to
all, we would like to express publicly our
thanks to some Deerfield residents who

library service and/or programs to the com
munity. Our 1989 library angels are: Bill
Bixby, Virginia & Nick Carter, Tom
Jester, Richard Lyon, Bob McClarren, and
Steve Neulander.
Also a note of thanks and a happy new^B
year to our Library Board of Trustees who
work long hours with no pay for the benefit
of Deerfield Public Library. Their names
are on page four.
�Staff Changes
Rick Bean, reference librarian at Deer
field Library for over four years, has left
become a reference librarian at DePaul
niversity. Mr. Bean, well known to many
Deerfield patrons, accomplished a number
of professional duties at the library includ
ing valuable assistance in the preparation of
the online catalog for public use, a Business
Resources Index and public relations
activities.
Two librarians, Cindy Wargo and Karen
Hicks (no relation to Jack) are now sharing
the position vacated by Mr. Bean. Cindy
and Karen are not new to the library as they
formerly shared part time weekend posts at
the reference desk. Both are Deerfield
residents, hold masters’ degrees in library
science from the University of Illinois, are
married and have young children. Cindy’s
past experience includes 11 years at
Evanston Public Library where she was
Head of the Reference Department. Karen
was a librarian at Maine West High School
in Des Plaines for six years, and reference
librarian at Cook Memorial Public Library
for 2Vi years.
Tom Sherman, newly appointed Head of
Building Maintenance, was a page at the

appointment. His diverse background inudes gardening at the Botanic Gardens,
>use painting, and selling at Kroch’s and
Brentano’s bookstore.

New Software Programs
The Youth Services Department has
some new software available for patron use
on the Apple HE. Among the programs are:
“Curious George Goes Shopping” —
Children become involved in helping
George find various items on his shopping
list.
“Math Rabbit” — As they play circus
games, children develop skills in counting,
adding, subtracting and recognizing
number relationships.
“Where in Europe Is Carmen San
Diego?” — Older children will enjoy track
ing down a thief in one of 34 European
countries.
Saturday Stories
Kindergarteners and first graders are in
vited to the popular Saturday Stories which
will be held December 16 and February 10.
These sessions are similar to the preschool
storyhours but feature longer, more com
plicated stories and often a short craft
project. There will be separate registration
for each program, beginning one week
prior to the program.
An additional 100 people per month
are taking advantage of reciprocal borrow
ing arrangements of the North Suburban
Libraries. (This permits members of other
communities to borrow Deerfield books—
and vice versa.) They’re borrowing at a
rapid rate. Monthly borrowing for all items
at Deerfield continues to average a steady
22,000.
Literally hundreds of junior high
students visited the library for instruc
tion/orientation in Fall.
The library’s Harold Gershowitz
November program elicited the following
response from an attendee “This was a
great moment for me. Moment means the
hour plus spent here.’’ The charismatic
local author of best seller “Remember This
Dream” donates all proceeds from his book
to the Holocaust Memorial Fund. The book
was 10 years in the writing, in long hand
on a legal pad during weekends.
Need a tax write off? The Youth Ser
vices Department needs used blenders,
computers, and record players in working
condition for future programs.
