Our Heartland Celebration!
You are Welcome to Attend, 2pm, Sunday, March 21.
The Unveiling of the Lars-Birger Sponberg Painting
A resident of Deerfield for over 50 years, artist Lars-Birger Sponberg has painted a
Midwest landscape that is gracing the wall above our Circulation Desk, the
first thing you see as you enter the library. Sponberg’s career spans nine
decades, and his work has been shown in solo exhibits and group shows in
the Chicago area, Sweden and New York and can be found in numerous
private and corporate collections.
Most recently he has painted “Midwest landscapes” as seen from the road
side. They invite the viewer to enter into the rural landscape on intimate
terms. The library’s painting, McHeniy County, according to Sponberg
“was in my mind for quite some time. Basically it is a real scene (near
Richmond, IL) but I’ve changed and added and done what artists do.”
His intention was to make a good painting, and the scenery is secondary.
Lars-Birger Sponberg works on
our library painting in his
Deerfield home.
Deerfield’s Peter Nye and the Chicago Blue Grass Band
Deerfield’s Peter Nye and the Chicago Blue Grass Band will entertain at the March 21
event with “slamming traditional bluegrass music with a big city wallop”. This internation
ally acclaimed group, a favorite at the Old Town School of Music, will focus on the heart
land. (See Adult Programs)
Refreshments for the afternoon will be donated by Deerfield’s Whole Foods Market.
We love Deerfield and
want the library to
be important to the
community. A focus on
Deerfield is our library’s
overriding spring theme.
As you look through our
newsletter, you will see
that we are highlighting
our community, its
citizens and its talents.

�A Review of the Deerfield Public Library’s
Long Range Planning Process—2001-2004
ver the past year and a half the
library board has been working on
a plan to create a library that
serves patrons’ needs now and in the
future. We would like to share with the
community our work in progress. Our goal
is to plan for the library to continue to be a
source of pride to Deerfield.
The current library was built in 1969 to
house 61,500 items in 32,500 square feet.
Today that same space houses 180,000
volumes. At that time the library employed
14 staff. Today we employ 46 staff mem
bers. We have added music, video and
audio collections. There were no comput
erized catalogs, Internet and no cabling for
a computer network. There was no separate
fiction room. Since 1992, the library has
expanded facilities and services within the
limitations of the present building. We
have reached our space limit and cannot
adapt newer technologies or new services
to our existing structure.
Our vision statement: The Deerfield
Public Library is an educational resource,
cultural center, community gathering place,
and a gateway to technology. The library
will promote lifetime learning. We will
offer all the programs, materials, and ser
vices necessary to participate in the world
of ideas and provide our patrons with the
tools to succeed in the future.
O
Steps the board and staff have
completed:
• Formation of a long-range planning
committee
• Review of previous long term planning
committee reports
• Review of several years of suggestions
from Librarian in the Lobby
• Seminar to identify core values
• Salary Survey
• Demographic Study
• Commissioned and reviewed Space

• Prepared technology assessment and
plan
• Public Opinion Laboratory of Northern
Illinois University designed and carried
out phone survey of over 1000 area res
idents and conducted twelve focus
groups
• Conducted a needs assessment based on
all of the above
• Anders Dahlgren prepared a detailed
strategic facilities plan, assessment of
library service goals, service delivery
options and space needs. He recom
mended the need for an 80,979 squarefoot facility with an optimum of 86,583
square feet.
The Identified space needs

on this site, or 4) find a new site.
• Identify and hire an architect to work
with Mr. Dahlgren, board and staff to
write a building program with specifics.

Fall 1997 ®
Deerfield Public Library •
Volume 13, Number 1
Classes Offered
Books IVIoved,
Becpire&
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!

I saw the best minds of my generation

streets at dawn...
uring September and
October the Reference
Department will offer
classes on how to use
Dynix, the online catalog, the
Infotrac Gateway to business infor

Hortin, Head of Reference, will
limit class size to four people to pro
vide individual training. A variety
of days and times will be offered.
Check schedule at front desk. Res
ervations are required. We will call
to remind you of your class as we
expect to have waiting lists.
Those lines from Allen Ginsberg’s epic poem, Howl,
summed up and energized a whole generation in the
1950’s. I remember the first time I heard Ginsberg read
live from his work; it was like being hit by lightning.
Ginsberg's rhythms, wild phrasing, and meaningless
imagery overturned everything I had been taught, ev
and then

erything that gave order and discipline to writing, espe
cially poetry. I followed Ginsberg's career, work and
^M
life, over the years and always felt that he was the moral
ethical spokesman for my generation. I did not always
agree with either his life or his work, but his insight and
w
artistry plumbed the central issues of our age. Yes, he
occasionally verged on the bizarre in his appearance
y
and his poetry, but there always remained the vital, moral
ethical voice that never failed to ring out defining free
dom, individuality, and resistance to life lived as a cli
che. Allen Ginsberg's work will live forever, discussed,

�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.

September 12 The Road From Coorain by Jill Ker Conway.

October 10 What it Takes, The Way to the White House by Richard Ben Cramer.
What drives a politician to risk the ruin of his family, his marriage,
his children for the sake of ambition?
^ November 14 Montana 1948 by Larry Watson. The events of a
small town summer in 1948 forever alter 12 year old
David Haydens view of his family.
�Librarian's DesH continued
it must to cope with the nature of a
dynamic society—dead languages
reflect dead cultures. The way our
language is evolving, what we are
soon going to have is a cross
between Victor Borge and the brutal
language in Anthony Burgess’s book
about a ruthless, soul-less future, A
Clockwork Orange.
Here is a tiny sampling of the
non-words that are commonplace in
our new non-language: go to the
mat, input, surf—which is both a
computer and sports cliche,
risktaker—who is always rewarded,
cyber-anything, paradigm,
sidemantle, interactive, stake
holder—who was someone in the
Boy Scouts who helped put up your
pup tent, outsource, and the feared
outplace, ecosystem, access,
gatekeeper—who is good at getting
money in but never letting it out,
enable, empower, supercomputer,
virtual reality, cheese food—
whatever that is, learning curve—
which I always seem to be behind,
parameters, interface, share,
enriching, network, downsize—the
dreaded catch-word of the 90’s,
advocacy, quality time, information
superhighway which we all surf. Oh,
these words and the sentences they
bloat—they’re just so, so meaningful.
I use what I call the Kentucky
Colonel test when I read jargon and
drivel--if I can insert the phrase Ken
tucky Colonel in place of the catch
phrase and the sentence still makes
sense, you’re in trouble.
What I hear and see falls into about
four general categories: the increasing
use of non-words, the horrible mispro
nunciation you hear on television, the
overuse of cliches, and finally—maybe
the worst—the worthless habit of turning
nouns into verbs.Throw in the computerisms and sports terms that have crept
into daily usage and you find a language
that is losing the power of expression.
What is it we want from language? First
and foremost the language must be of
specificity to avoid ambiguity (yet not
mimic German). But we crave and
demand more; there must be beauty—
even grandeur from our language The
English language has always been
renowned for its power, beauty, and
expressiveness—it has the potential to
stir our souls—the most lyrical and
descriptive language on earth.
We have always welcomed words
from other languages, because they
often express an emotion or feeling
better than old stale words. Terms like
bungalow and badminton from India
have become staples of the English
language. I would suggest that up to
now our language has followed a
natural transformation to make words
more effective or expressive. The word

pollution now prevalent is not that
kind of transformation—instead of
making words more effective, the
drive is to make words more
accessible. Accessible language
panders to the lowest instincts, not
the most noble, to produce a
meaningless choreography of banal
words. Maybe the use of non
language is directly proportional to
our efforts when we try to simplify an
increasingly complex world, or when
we just shirk our duty to think.
Language is probably the most
perfect barometer we have for a
society; it reflects exactly and totally
who we are and what we think. Our
language has begun to emulate our
domestic architecture—no front
porch, but elaborately enclosed
backyards. Maybe our language is a
perfect metaphor for today; it reveals
all that we are willing or able to
reveal about ourselves. I would like
to think otherwise; but words speak
louder than hopes and words are
definitely losing as we surf our way
out into the mainstream of the
information superhighway. What will
the permanent barometer of our
language record about us?

Fill rate" for refer"fill rates,
ence is defined in terms of the
number of reference transactions
completed in proportion to the
total number of reference trans

PHONOLOG/
LIST-O-TAPES
Have you ever needed to find
the performer of a particular
song or the name of the album
or tape in which the song
appears? Deerfield Public
Library has useful sources to
help you find music-related in
formation. Phonolog is a looseleaf, subscription service which
gives information on songs (com
poser/artist/label/album number
/album the song appears on),
artists (albums/singles), and
albums (artist/label/album number/songs). List-O-Tapes has the
same information for tapes
(cassette/8-track/reel-to-reel).
The main body of these
works consists of pop titles, pop
artists, and pop albums or tapes.
"Pop" includes rock, country, R
& B, soul, and jazz. There are sep
arate sections for band, Christ
mas, children's, sacred, Hawaii
an, classical, and other categories
of music. There is also an alpha
betically arranged list of record/
tape companies in the front of
the work.
Phonolog and List-O-Tapes
are located on top of our vertical
file.
TAX ASSISTANCE
Free tax assistance will again
be offered by trained graduates
of A. A. R.P.'s VITA program.
