Easier than ever!
Have you had an opportunity to get cozy with a
book in one of the new easy chairs in the library?
The addition of more comfy chairs is in response
to requests received from many community
members since the Grand Reopening last
summer. Here are other examples of our
continuing commitment to listening, and making
your Library experience easier:
You asked for a more convenient library card
option. It’s here! If you have a smartphone,
you can load your card into a convenient
app, and leave the card at home.
Did you know that ALL locations in the
Library are Wi-Fi Hot Spots? And you can
print right from your device as well.
Laptop lending is now available! Deerfield
cardholders can borrow a laptop for
in-Library use.
All programs and meeting room events are
now shown on the online calendar. So
whether you are coming for a Library
program, or for your club or homeowner
association meeting, you can easily confirm
the date, time, and location from anywhere,
at any time.
Check on page 11 for more information on
these fabulous new services that will
streamline your library experience.
We aren’t done yet! We are still working to make
the Library cozier, and add the finishing touches
that will make it feel more warm and welcoming.
Changes being considered include artwork,
plants, footrests, more soft seating, and accent
lighting. Watch for these continuing
improvements throughout the year. Pay us
a visit soon.

Helping our Neighbors
Next time you drop in the Library, consider dropping off some items for the
West Deerfield Township Food Pantry. Every little bit helps, as the Pantry
relies entirely on contributions to meet the year-round high demand for
basic foodstuffs, household cleaning items, and personal hygiene products
that the Pantry provides free of charge.
The Food Pantry serves over 250 township residents each month who find
themselves in need, either on a long-term or temporary basis. Many are
seniors who live on fixed incomes, while others are families with children.
Starting March 1, you can drop off your donations in the Libraiy’s lobby
(no glass, please).
Food Pantry Wish List:
• Canned protein (tuna, chicken,
salmon, beans)
• Side dish mixes (rice, potato,
pasta)
• Toilet paper
• Paper towels
• Juice
• Canned fruit
• Soup
• Peanut butter
• Laundry detergent (small size)
The Library food drive will run from March 1 through March 23. Your
donations will be delivered to the Pantry, where bags of food and personal
items, as available, are ready for pick up on the first or third Thursday of
each month. Anyone with an urgent need for assistance, however, may call
or visit the Township office any business day.
WELCOME OUR NEW BOARD MEMBERS
The Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees recently completed
the selection process, and appointed two new members
to fill open seats on the Board. Luisa Ellenbogen and
Seth Schriftman will serve until the next election in 2015.

The Mystery ofthe World’s
Most Expensive Bottle of Wine
by Benjamin Wallace
Tuesday, March 4, 7:00pm @ Whole Foods Market
Deerfield I Adults 21 years and older
In 1985, at a heated auction by
Christie’s of London, a 1787
bottle of Chateau Lafite
Bordeaux, unearthed from a

supposedly owned by Thomas
Jefferson, went for $156,000 to
a member of the Forbes family.
But rumors about the bottle
soon arose. Why wouldn’t the
seller reveal the exact location where it had been
found? Was it part of a smuggled Nazi hoard? Did
his reticence conceal a dark secret? Join us to
discuss this real-life mystery, followed by a wine
and cheese tasting presented by Whole Foods
Market, 760 Waukegan Road, Deerfield. Sign up

Message from the Director
Summer Circus
fj
Memories
- X--" ’
As a child on my
first visit to the
circus, I was
awestruck by
assaults on my senses—swirling colors
and panning spotlights, calliope music,
cotton candy liquefying sweet on the
tongue, rough elephant skin and satiny
costumes, and of course the pungent
smells of circus animals! Returning
with my own child thirty years later, it
all came rushing back as we neared the
door, tickets in our hands and excite
ment in our hearts.
Fast-forward to this summer: our
Library staff is finding so many creative
ways to bring the circus to life through
our summer reading programs. While
we can’t quite bring all the excitement
of the circus to you this summer, we
can offer you music from all corners of
the globe, exotic animals leaping off
the pages into your imagination, and
stories and events to stir your senses
on all levels, whether you are an adult
or a child. Just as circuses bring it all
together under the Big Top, so libraries
bring it all together under one roof!
(And sometimes libraries even have a
Big Top, as you will find in our Youth
Services department this summer.)
You can’t take the circus home with
you, but much of what we offer can
be enjoyed anywhere you are this
summer! So, come and make wonderful
libraiy memories a part of your
summer.

Across the
Librarian's Desk
r
irst of all, I would like to thank the
voters who supported the Library
referendum. They grasped that a new
library is needed in Deerfield and that it
would be an exciting resource for the whole
community, providing a wider range of
educational, cultural, and information ser
vices to everyone. Also, I would like to thank
Bill Darrow and the Friends of the Library
for their enthusiastic efforts on our behalf.
Secondly, I truly appreciate the thoughtful
endorsement of the Library referendum made
by the editorial staff of the Deerfield Review.
Diverse opinions as shown in the ballot box
are the foundation and the beauty of a
democracy. That’s why the Library chose to
go to the voters to determine if the desire to
expand the Library was reflected in the
community. After three years of planning, we
knew it was important to hear what all the
residents had to say. We had tried our best to
publicize our planning process: we had
articles in every issue of our Browsing
newsletter for the past three years and
numerous articles in the Deerfield Review,
plus our one-thousand-respondent citizen
survey and twelve focus groups. We held a
library open house and provided ample
settings for the community to ask questions.
The next step would have been to hire an
architect and a library consultant to design a
library and produce architectural plans. That
step would, by necessity, have been a very
expensive one. Before that was done, we
needed to know exactly what the residents
were willing to pay for.

25 Years of Cooperation Between the
Deerfield Schools and the Library!
Students’ lack of library know-how led Geri Spinella, (then a language arts teacher,
now assistant principal of Caruso Middle School), to consult with Jack Hicks, (then
a reference librarian, now library director) to begin a joint library instruction
program that has been running for 25 years. The program was designed to bring
students into the public library to learn how to use library resources. Jack Hicks
said, “Our goal was to widen students’ horizons for doing their assignments. We
have many resources that the schools do not have. As Deerfield Library was among
the first libraries in Illinois to
offer new information tech
nology, Geri was anxious for
students to learn new tech
nologies. Also, since we are
open evenings and weekends,
students can come in to use
library materials after school
hours...good value for
Deerfield taxpayers whose
children are in school!”
This program requires hours
of coordination between the
teacher and the librarian, scheduling times, selecting topics, and preparing many
resources. Once here the students also work with the Youth Services and
Circulation Departments. The Library welcomes this opportunity to show young
users what the public library has to offer, particularly online magazine databases
with full-text articles, available for printing or emailing. Also, the students are
pleased to find that, with their library cards, they can use home internet access to
reach the Library’s online databases.
This January and February eight Caruso Middle School classes came into the
Library twice for an hour each time to pursue their personal research projects.
Coordinators were Judy Hortin, Head of Reference, and Caruso language arts
teacher Leslie Gordon. Leslie, who has been with the program for 20 years, said,
“For many of our students, it is an eye opening experience to see how much they
can find in the Library on one topic.”
Both the Library and Caruso hope that this cooperative mission gives students a
skill that will serve them throughout their academic careers and beyond.

Built in 1970, and not designed for technolo

renovations were designed to give the Library ten to fifteen years
added lifespan. The goals of the remodeling have been reached but
can go no further.
Over the past three years, through surveys and resident input we
have heard clearly that our residents want the Library to remain
where it is in the center of town. We have also heard from residents
that they want more services, more meeting room space, more
programs, books and other materials. Currently, we must turn a
sympathetic but deaf ear to these requests.
The result of the vote leaves us with few immediate options other
than to redefine service within the present building. Library staff are
pursuing alternatives for the replacement of the roof membrane, air
handlers, and air conditioning condensers and compressors. These
repairs can mean expensive investment in an aging structure. The
vote also means the closing of the window of opportunity to pur
chase adjacent property for logical expansion. A number of civic
leaders have spoken about the importance of this quadrant remaining
the “governmental” quadrant, but that is now beyond Library control.
Some people have urged me to move heaven and earth to purchase
the apartment building to the north of the Library. Such a move
would break faith with the intentions of the taxpayers and is not one
I will initiate. Though loss of that land limits our future options,
frankly we do not have the resources to purchase that building—that
would take third-party intervention.
This is the first time in thirty-five years we have asked Deerfield
taxpayers to approve a referendum. The Library, in fact, has a
spotless record of operating within budget over those thirty-five
years. Much has been said about the size and cost of our proposed
library. In the past ten years, all over the United States, there has
been a renaissance of library building. At the same time more than
twenty-five libraries have been built in Chicagoland. We are very
familiar with all of this construction and the opportunities it has
brought to their communities.
These new libraries do indeed represent a point of departure over
libraries of the past. The communities that have built new libraries
have observed that in the age of Internet, the need for library service
has not diminished but has grown. Contemporary libraries are techni
cally and structurally complex buildings that are expensive. Add to
that the fact that structural steel and aluminum have risen in price
over 30% in the past year, and the cost of new libraries comes into
perspective.
We will continue to do what we have always done best: address the
needs of the community for the future and keep abreast of emerging
library trends in technology, programs, services, and materials. To
those ends the Board has been working with the Executive Service
Corps to begin work on a strategic plan that will address the future of
this building and user services, all based on progressive professional,
personal service. The Board is committed to providing vision and
leadership to ensure that the Library is not on a trajectory that could
see it fall behind libraries in neighboring communities.

Deerfield.
The library was moved tempo

as a township library. As a village li
brary, a bond issue was approved to

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.

1, Number 2
My father used to bring home stray cats, and I
think he used the same process to choose his
friends. He brought home a cat that only had a
stump for a tail. Forever called “Tailless,” a car ac
cident had deprived him of his tail and no end of
vets could heal that stub right. The second cat
“Meowser’s" ears had been frozen off, leaving only
a hint that they should have been there in the first
place. We felt sorry for them, but we loved them
because they were great cats.
My Dad’s friends fit right in there with those cats.
Librarian in Hie Lobby
I have no clear idea what my Dad saw in those guys.
Now entering a fourth year, our suc
cessful Librarian in the Lobby offers
the opportunity for patrons to meet
with library administrators to speak
informally of library concerns. The
director and board members listen
to and follow through on patron
suggestions, when feasible. Librar
ian in the Lobby will be offered
Wednesday evenings from 7:309 p.m. December 6, January 3 and
February 7.
They weren’t fishing pals, or drinking buddies. They
had no other common linkage except they were all
as poorly equipped to cope with life as the cats.
Some of them even had frozen off appendages
One specimen had thirteen junked Corvairs and
nine operating motorcyles.
I could but I won’t name names. There was the
guy with fifteen dogs, who we called “Doggie.”
There was the guy who ran a saloon with a giant
live frog in the window, there was the well digger
who had six wives by the time he was thirty, there

he Reference Department
will offer classes on use of
the online computer catalog
and Infotrac gateway to magazine
articles and company information.
(This is not a class on using a per
sonal computer). Please reserve
space by calling Reference, or sign
ing the meeting reservation book.
Classes will be held Saturdays at
10 a.m. on January 13, January 27,
February 10 and February 24.
Here are some inside tips on use
of the computer catalog:
Key Word Searching—especially
helpful when you know only partial
information about a title (example:
you want to Find the series of books
with “gourmet” in the title-written
by a man named “Smith.”
American Heritage Electronic Dic
tionary—to check spelling and defi
nition of words and abbreviations.
InfoTrac: Business and Company
ASAP, Magazine Index Plus,
Health Index Plus—InfoTrac in
dexes periodical articles by subject
and includes the full text of some
articles.
Dial-up Access—to our computer
catalog-from home or business.
(Note: the InfoTrac databases are
available in library only.)
Young children can L
search the library's
j
holdings on a specialized “kids' computer
catalog” in the Youth
Services department.

�Librarian's DOSli (contined from page 1)
was the fisherman who could call up wild fish
that lived by the end of his dock, the root beer
bottler whose homemade soda “you opened
outside and caught it in a pail across the yard,"
there was the cheesemaker with the long raft
of floating oil drums that featured rocking
chairs for the fishermen, the car mechanic who
did dentistry. I don’t think he felt sorry for them,
though a lot of other people did, and I don’t
think he loved them all like we did the stray
cats. I do know he thought they were “color
ful" to use his own word.
What those friends came down to was
simple. Acceptance. Don't judge anyone by
what you see on the outside, friends are
friends, who you know are your friends, you
stick up for your friends whoever they are, and
friends don't judge friends. Also, rural Minne
sota did not give you many choices, though
among his group there was an All-American
basketball player, a WWII Marine Corps fighter
Ace, the best pheasant hunter in Washington
County, a sheriff, a priest, a guy covered com
pletely with naval tattoos and a Carnegie LifeSaving Gold Medal winner. They were differ
ent but never boring.
I chose my friends a lot differently, and I
have a far less interesting group to talk to than
my Dad did. I am afraid that this is endemic to
suburban life. Everyone I know is responsible,
has all his body parts, works for a living, has
college degrees, speaks perfect English in
complete sentences, and has straight teeth.
Having been back to Minnesota nine times in
the last two years has really made me wonder
who Garrison Keillor talks about when he de
scribes Minnesota, because I don't meet the
old-time characters there anymore than I do
here. However, it is a serious mistake to think
everyone is “just like us."
The book I am recommending this month
is In Confidence by Anatoly Dobrynin. As So
viet Foreign Minister he was a participant in
most of the Cold War's great confrontations.
Dobrynin knew all the international players
from Khrushchev to Reagan and sheds a clear
light on all the events that shaped our time.
The Bay of Pigs, Vietnam and Star Wars are
all illuminated by a distinctly different perspec
tive than we ever got from our newspapers or
television Duped by his own government
about the missiles in Cuba, cajoled by LBJ to
end the Vietnam war in 1965, Dobrynin was
at the center of crucial world events for over
thirty years and he has a lot to say about all of
it. I think we can learn a lot from these former
Cold Warriors that they learned the hard, hard
way, and that we should never forget.
—--- Jack A!fn Hicks. Administrative Librarian

Pictfon R§om Dedicated]
There are still a few patrons who ask,
“Where’s the fiction?” Others have already
discovered the newly restructured space on
the lower level of the library and the large
new elevator that provides direct access to
the 3,600 square foot room.
The fiction room now houses the en
tire fiction collection of 23,331 volumes
including all large print, mysteries, science
fiction and an expanded paperback collec
tion. The room meets the architect, staff,
library board and publics expectations of
being a quiet, restful, dignified, informal
area with excellent lighting. The room was
dedicated to Thomas E. Parfitt on Sunday,
September 17. Mr. Parfitt, Library Board
President for 20 years, gave his thanks and
appreciation to the large audience.
Bridget Lamont, Director of the Illlinois
State Library was an honored guest at the
dedication. Ms. Lamont commended the
unique use of existing space provided at no
extra cost to taxpayers. She also praised the
fact that a longtime library trustee was so
honored.
We thank Deerfield Bakery, Swansons
Blossom Shop, Bob Close, Hel’s Kitchen
and the Deerfield Garden Club for their
contributions to our successful event.

Fall 1993 saw the installation of the library’s
handicapped accessible front doors and the
addition of an outside video drop for pa
tron convenience.
Now a major priority for the library
board is efficient renovation of main floor
space which formerly housed the fiction
collection. It is possible that the fireplace
and current periodicals will be moved to
the former fiction area providing a pleas
ant reading space in a more peaceful lo
cation. This would increase shelf space
for the nonfiction collection and busi
ness room.
The Deerfield Public Library has received
an official document of Senate Recogni
tion from the Illinois Senate of the 89th
Assembly in recognition of outstanding
service to the community.
Our local author and Deerfield neigh
bor Lowell Komie has received the
prestigious Carl Sandburg Award for fic
tion for his The Lawyer's Chamber and

Across the Librarian's Dest^
On Sunday, April 5th, the Library
will celebrate its 65th birthday. We
will do this symbolically on the first
day of National Library Week. We
will have bands and ice cream and
music, but the real celebration will be
the recognition of the people who
have made us the exemplary library
we are today. I know there are a lot of
people to thank.
We know many of the people we
want to thank during the recognition
part of our celebration: Bob York, Tom
Parfitt, Mary Mazur, Pat Horne and
Keith Nickoley, are the easy names.
What we really need help with is all
the names of all the people who
helped pass out handbills, held coffee
hours, spoke at schools — those who
worked tirelessly behind the scenes to
pass the numerous referendums, bond
issues, special legislation and court
challenges that built this Library.
It is often forgotten that this Li
brary has had a long and colorful his
tory full of wonderful personalities
and issues. We have seen numerous
tax fights, boundary squabbles, cen
sorship battles, "Save Our Library "
campaigns, along with agitated re
former candidates. The present build
ing and the services we offer did not
just happen — they were the result of
long, hard work by many concerned
and visionary residents. The Library
has withstood the test of time.
If you know the names of those
who made this Library possible,
please take the time to write them
down and let me know what they did
— large and small — because every
one is important. We want to

recognize them in an appropriate way
on our 65th birthday. The Library is 65
years old and they made it happen.
We owe a debt of gratitude to those
head Librarians who founded, nur
tured, and developed the Deerfield
Public Library. Starting in 1927 and
progressing to today there have been:
Mrs. Frank Russo, Mrs. Chester Wolf
— for over 25 years, Mrs. Helen
Haney, and the builder of this Library,
Mrs. Suzanne Whetstone. They estab
lished a Library that serves the com
munity well and is a source of great
pride.
We also want to take time to ac
knowledge the lasting contribution
made to this community by a single
individual. The Library will name its
Young People's Department in honor
of Dr. Diego Redondo. Since Dr. Re
dondo touched and enriched the lives
of so many of us — especially our
children — it is fitting to create a per
manent memorial for him. We will
dedicate the Department in his honor
during our Birthday celebration.
Please let me know those names,
and please come to our Party. You'll
come for the nostalgia, but stay for the
fun.

Administrative Librarian
