Message from the
Director
Spring is the time
.
when all things
;
come alive again,
including the

already been hum
ming with activity, from hosting the
School District 109 kindergarten
registration in February to preparing

model train run in March.

Boys and Reading:
What’s the Problem? What’s the Solution?
Parents and teachers concerned with the question, “How can we get
boys to read?" will want to hear award-winning author Marc
Aronson’s answers. Aronson believes the key to helping boys succeed
at reading is to find out what interests them. He says, “But we do the
opposite. We treat reading as novel reading and tell boys who like
facts, battles, sports magazines, websites, or fantasy that they are not
readers.” In this presentation, Dr. Aronson shows how to build
bridges to reading by seeing boys for who they are.
Monday, March 10, 7 p.m. Space is limited.
Author Marc
Aronson
To make reservations, please call 847-945-3311.
We also take special pleasure in bring
ing the Library out into the community.
With “One Book, One Zip Code,” we are
doing just that! In cooperation with our
community partners (see accompanying
article), One Book programs will occur
in convenient locations throughout the
three-village area. Our Friends group
has been pursuing service outside the
Library, as well. Their popular paper
back bookrack at the train station
provides entertaining reading materials
even for those too busy to squeeze in a
visit to the Library.
Speaking of squeezing into the
Library...
Many of you have begun to ask if there
are plans for the building itself. As
reported in thz Deerfield Review, we
love our downtown location in the
heart of the community. We are cur
rently exploring ways to reconfigure
and refresh the space we have and
considering a possible addition that
would increase our ability to meet
changing community needs and
interests. What can we do for YOU?
This program is a part ofDeerfield Public Library’s Reading Warriors grant. Fundingfor this
grant was awarded by the Illinois Slate Library a division of the Office ofSecretary ofState\ using

One Book, One Zip Code
2008: Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder
Community-wide reading programs like “One Book, One Chicago” are becoming popu
lar across the country and around the world. Last year, representatives from Deerfield,
Bannockburn, and Riverwoods began planning our first One Book program. The title
“One Book, One Zip Code” reflects our desire to make sure that everyone in the 60015
zip code feels equally invited to join this community of readers.
*
This spring we invite you to read Mountains Beyond
Mountains, by Tracy Kidder. This nonfiction bestseller
follows “the quest of Dr. Paul Farmer, the man who
would cure the world.” Kidder focuses on Farmer’s
work in Haiti and his dedication to providing preferen
tial health care options for the poor. Inspiring and
thought provoking, the book captivatingly explores the
issues of poverty, health care, and international aid.

National Library Week Specials

Three Day Video Loans
In response to patrons’ requests, we
have extended the loan period for
videos from two days to three. Rental
fees for videos marked “NEW”
remain $1 per video. All older videos
may be borrowed free of charge to
Deerfield cardholders. You may take
out six videos at a time, and many
patrons do!
The library has several ways of
responding to patrons’ requests. One
is Librarian in the Lobby. Every
month on the second Saturday, a
member of the Deerfield Library
Board joins Library Administrator
Jack Hicks in the library' lobby. This
spring, Librarian in the Lobby will
be from 9 a.m. to noon, Saturdays,
March 13, April 10 and May 8. This
is a fine opportunity to meet library
administrators and share library con
cerns. We find that most of the com
ments are positive and many are very
helpful. This is our own brand of
market research and we do listen and
respond to you!
We also have a suggestion box at the
front desk and often implement help
ful patron suggestions. If you think
the library should purchase a book or
recording, we have a green “consider
for purchase” form you can fill out in
any department. If our librarians who
select the materials feel that it will be
a good library purchase, we will try
to buy your requested item and noti
fy you when it comes in. We are
happy to hear from you!!!

It may take some time to adjust to
the major shift of the nonfiction
books on the main floor. This shift
was necessary as the collection has
grown so much. Without enlarging
the building, the lower level Fiction
Room had been constructed and left
available space for collection growth.
The 800 s and the 900’s are now
in the east room next to biographies.
The videos are permanently on the
north wall. Books on cassette tape
are housed in temporary shelving in
this room.
In the west room, all Reference
materials and the 000 s through 700 s
were shifted forward on the shelves.
Circulating business books are now
merged into the circulating nonfic
tion collection (in numbered se
quence). A reference librarian can
assist you in finding materials.
In fall you will see more “sprucing
up” of public space. Architect R. Scott
Javore and Associates' plans have been
approved and renovation begins!

Those lines from Allen Ginsberg’s epic poem, Howl,

�Author Wlsoftss
Librarian’s DesH continued from pagel
no one does. While that thought was still roll
ing around in the back of my mind, Carl Sagan
and Jacques Cousteau also died and then that
idea began to really bother me. Who will speak
for us?
Certainly, I did not always agree with what
Sagan wrote or said, but behind the man was
that same moral ethical voice that had made
Allen Ginsberg part of my life. Sagan spoke and
wrote for years, but it took television to make
him a household word. His concern for the fu
ture, the environment and the whole world’s
quality of life is unparalleled today. Ultimately
Sagan became somewhat of a parody of him
self, lending his thought and delivery to comics
to mimic, but his moral ethical concerns remain
clear and direct. I only wish the current movie,
Contact, on which Sagan collaborated, was a
more fitting tribute to the man. Sagan's books
and thoughts will be with us for a long time.
I first learned the name Cousteau when in
19541 bought a two-hose scuba regulator used
for skin diving that was made in France and
marked Cousteau-Gagnan. I used that regu
lator to dive all over the state of Minnesota to
discover the unimpeded joys of scuba diving.
Later in the 1950’s Cousteau made his fame
with his books and the obscure French naval
officer, who in partnership with Emil Gagnon
developed the first practical underwater breath
ing device. Cousteau went far in his life, from
inventor and itinerant diver to probably the
most recognized and respected spokesman for
our natural environment. He spoke, wrote and
made films that delivered that same message
over and over: our world is precious and man
is working overtime to destroy it; save it now
or it will be lost forever.
Who will speak for us? The passing of these
three diverse men is an incalculable loss to us
as a society, made more important because
there is no one on the horizon who can take
their place. I see our generation as more inter
ested in entertainment and glamour than in
serious thought. The idea of the serious writer
as a major force in our lives is a concept that is
no longer important in our society. The ques
tion now is who will be the next celebrity telling
us they are going to Disneyworld. Since we get
all our ideas and heroes from films, entertain
ment and the media, it is an easy guess to pre
dict an increasing trivialization and commercial
ization of our lives. For now we are stuck with
witless news anchors, talk show hosts, and
sound bites. History proves everything in the
world—economics, social thought, politics,
world view—goes in cycles eventually we will
return to a point where the genius, wisdom and
humanity of Ginsberg, Sagan and Cousteau will
be appreciated. Who will speak for us?
In the meantime, I recommend this sam
pling of their writing. Ginsberg: Howland Other
Poems; Selected Poems 1947-1995; Allen
Verbatim; Kaddish and Other Poems and Air
plane Dreams. Sagan: Cosmos, Cosmic Con
nection; Broca's Brain; Planets and Pale Blue
Dot. Cousteau: The Living World; Silent World;
Jacques Cousteau's Calypso; Riches of the
Sea and Thex Sea in Danger.
