A Vision for the
Library
by Don Van Arsdale, Deeifield Library
Trustee, Chair of the Long Range
Planning Committee (and Director of
the Winnetka Community House)
D
aniel Burnham said
“make no small plans
as they have no power
to fire men’s souls”. Due in part to
Mr. Burnham’s foresight and
vision, we enjoy Chicago as one of
the truly great cites in the world.
Ten years ago, the Deerfield Public
Library Board of Trustees and staff
created a Master Plan for the
library. Using community input,
this process resulted in a plan
which improved the library facility
in many significant ways. Some of
these improvements include: the
opening up and renovation of the
lower level resulting in the Tom
Parfitt Adult Fiction Room, the
installation of a public elevator,
Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA) improvements, renovation of
the children’s reading room, instal
lation of a new computer system,
remodeling of the front lobby and
the purchase of new materials.

Board President Sue Benn Retires
We are grateful to Sue Benn who has served on
the Deerfield Library Board of Trustees for 27
years and as president for the past twelve of
those years. In April she will step down from her
post. Originally appointed to the Board, she
became interested in the library while working on
book sales with the Library Friends Group.
Subsequently, she ran for office and won four
elections, each requiring six year terms. She has
particularly enjoyed the board work because of
the variety of personalities and friends she’s
made along the way.

Sue Benn
She has observed many changes in the Village since moving here in 1955
and raising her three children in Deerfield. “Life was simpler then,” she said
“yet there has been continuity in the library. It’s like raising a child; you
don’t notice the growth because you are so close to it.” She has overseen a
new roof, boiler system, major building renovation, ongoing computer tech
nology, policy changes and the challenge of making best use of available
space. Her fondest accomplishment has been hiring and supporting Jack
Hicks as administrative librarian. “Jack has hired an excellent staff, main
tains contact with the Village, the library profession, computers and a myri
ad of details.” Having worked so closely with staff and board on so many
projects she feels she is leaving a family. She modestly says of her years on
the board— “I got more than I gave.”
An active community member, Sue was elected 2002 “Volunteer of the
Year” at the Chicago Botanic Garden, and has many interests. She and her
husband Walt particularly enjoy trips to visit her children. She plans to keep
a close eye on the library’s future and to continue visiting almost daily as
she does now. (She might even volunteer again for the “sticky job” of.
lemonade service in the library which she has done every year for July 4th
Family Day).
On April 1 the Village will hold an election for a total of three openings on
the library board.

�A Vision for the Library
Continued from page I
The current Board of Trustees began a new long range plan
in 2001. Once again, we are looking to our residents for
input on how the library can serve your needs in the future.
We want to solicit your ideas about our services, materials,
hours, staff, programs, and facilities.
Your thoughts and opinions are essential to the success of
our plan. If you are contacted by POL, please take the 5-10
minutes to complete the telephone survey. If you are con
tacted to participate in a focus group, please consider say
ing yes.
We have contracted with the Public Opinion Laboratory
(POL) of Northern Illinois University to conduct a telephone
survey. Additionally, POL will conduct a series of focus
groups where we will delve into the information gleaned
from the telephone survey. We will listen and consider the
results of these conversations as we begin planning and
visioning the future of the Deerfield Public Library.
The library services are here for your enjoyment. We know
you want this to be an excellent community resource. We
want to position this library to meet the needs of current
and future patrons. Like Daniel Burhnam, we understand
that to prepare for the future, you must plan for the future.
Shelving in the “West Wing" main floor of the library has been
remodeled for videos, DVD's, CD's and audio books. Now there is
space to grow and to increase our collections. If you have any
trouble locating materials, please ask a reference librarian for
assistance.

□ Reminder: If you do not have your library card with you or your library card
has expired, you will have to have some type of approved identification before
you can check out materials or update your library card. Proper ID: driver’s
license, checkbook, voter registration or utility bill.
□ We have a checkout limit of five items on a subject—per family. This is to
insure that all of our patrons will have access to our materials. (Often school
assignments and other circumstances create sudden heavy demand beyond the
stretch of our collection).
□ Our unique card-operated Internet service is free to anyone 18 or older and
youth with signed parental permission. There is a one time sign up; your library
card is then scanned and you are eligible to use the Internet for up to one hour
per day. If you live in another community and do not have a library card, bring
ID and we will provide you with a special card. There are five Internet stations
in Reference plus a sixth 15 minute express station. In Youth Services there are
two stations. (Your library card must be current and free from fines!).

The library’s subscription to the Physicians Desk Reference online database allows
you to search free of charge for information on both brand name and generic drugs
and to check for drug interactions, adverse reactions, etc. If you have a Deerfield
Library card and an Internet connection, now you can find this information from
home or work without coming to the library — especially handy for those home sick!
Of course at the library anyone — with or without a Deerfield card — can use both
the database and the print book version of PDR.

DEERFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY
Across the
Librarian's Desk
F
orty years ago in November, right after
Ike's 1952 election, my Dad put up our
Christmas tree. He was sure that my
oldest brother, fighting far away in Korea,
would be home soon and wanted the tree
there to greet him.
That tree stayed up until June of 1953. There
were so many expectations like that in
1952—with a new and trusted president
coming into office—we thought everything
was possible. Taking my tree down this
year, I was struck by those
wThen, as now, memories and the contrast to
^
look forward today—how times change.
^Optimistically to A long distance call from San
wi new president Francisco, as my brother
shipped out for Korea, for
to heal serious
instance, seemed like it came
problems**
from another planet.
&The library made a difference in my life.
The library offers a wonderful world of learning.
I hope others will discover the library and let it change their livesV

Forty years ago that tree my Dad put up
symbolized my family's desire for peace
and tranquillity. We lived at the end of an
18 mile dirt road and you could see those
lights in our window for miles across the
snow as we came home at night. We all
wanted our favorite brother home safe,
away from deadly harm and death he faced
every day. He saw the Pusan Perimeter,
Yalu River and the frozen Chosin, and we
knew exactly what that meant. Seeing "his"
tree every day gave us great comfort.
I remember that winter of hopefulness very
clearly—and how our optimism never
faded, even as the tree shriveled. That tree
became an unsspoken magic in our house—
we wouldn't take it down because it was
somehow protecting my brother. So many
neighbors and friends had sons, who were
wounded or killed, we worried eve
We were pulling for Ike and a peace
future—tne dawn of a new day. Our
friends and neighbors, even the rural
delivery mailman, asked about my brother
