Our New Library Catalog and
How to Use It.
�Across the Librarian’s Desk
This Library was founded seventyfive years ago when Mrs. F.W.
Russo opened the Library doors
for the first time on New Years
Day, January 1927. Since that
time the Library has been housed
in the Deerfield Grammar School,
next into a storefront by the old
Callner Building, then stored away in a number of base
ments and garages to be shelved in the Township build
ing, and since 1971 here at the present location. The
longevity and success of this library has been the result
of the vision, hard work and dedication of many people
over a long period of time truly a collaborative effort.
The present building was built in response to a study
done by the Deerfield League of Women Voters in 1967
which found the old library seriously deficient. In seven
ty-five years there have been five Directors: Mrs. Russo,
Mrs. Wolff, Mrs. Haney, Mrs. Whetstone and me.
There have been many defining moments since that New
Years Day in 1927 for the world, nation, Village, and the
Library. Lindbergh flew the Atlantic that year and dra
matic change has been a way of life ever since. The
library as an institution has changed more in the past fif
teen years than it did in the past one hundred and fifty.
In the span of my library career the library universe has
grown globally from the size of a single room to a reach
that encompasses every part of the world. With comput
ers, libraries moved from the 19th Century to the 21st
Century in a single leap. Library services, formats, mate
rials, and techniques have all changed, and will continue
to change. What has not changed for libraries is that at
the heart of everything we do are the residents we serve.
Many pundits have predicted the demise or death of the
library as an institution with the advent of computers
and the Internet. Our statistics, numbers, and usage here
in Deerfield do not lend that theory much credence. Our
percentage of resident cardholders, our circulation and
our reference question totals show an active clientele,
while statistics from the Youth Services Department
show a growing service population. Ttoo flourishing
mega-bookstores in our community validate this as a
neighborhood of readers. The Library has kept abreast of
current computer technology tools of access, Internet
connections, and web-based services being only some of
our services. E-books and downloaded services are just
around the corner. But books will still remain crucial to
our long range mission. Why do I say that?
Recent events like the Enron scandal with the loss of
computer data, the use of computers by terrorists, the
destruction of records in the World Trade Tower disaster,
the general impermanence and volatility of computer
stored data, the disappearance of the National Park
Service website make it clear that permanent paper
records and books still have a very important role to play
in history and in society. Until e-books are cheaper,
more inclusive in the titles they purvey, and a lot easier
to use, they will not replace books. The major break
through for e-books will come when students download
all their text and work books in a single cheap, simple,
device and throw away their backpacks. Even when that
day dawns, as I am sure it will, books will remain viable
because there is no profit to be made from converting
old books into new technology just ask the failed
Netlibrary. As everyone knows in this techno-age, profits
drive products and if libraries do not preserve our soci
ety’s culture no one else will. Remember, books were the
first solid-state, random-access memory device and
remain effective; they also don’t fail when the lights go
out.
So even at the advancing age of seventy-five the Library
stands ready to move into the 21st Century. Our staff is
trained and prepared, the formats and media are chang
ing daily, the Library will respond as it has always
responded; with hands-on personal service for our resi
dents in a professional, intelligent and literary manner.
It has been an exciting seventy-five years for libraries
and the next seventy-five will be even more so. Libraries
really are the leaders in information age technology.
Come on in and check us out!

Librarian in the Lobby:
Now in 10th Year!
On the second Saturday of each month,
(September 8, October 13 and
November 10) from 9 a.m. to noon in
the library lobby, library visitors can
talk informally with Administrative
Librarian Jack Hicks along with one of
the members of the library board of
trustees. As a result of these years of
active listening, many changes in tech
nology, in services, in policies and in
the building itself have been made in
response to patron suggestions. This
“longest running focus group in town”
has also improved accountability and
visibility for library administrators who
are more in touch with day to day
library issues.
OUR LIBRARY WINS AWARDS!
On July 4 Deerfield Family Days, the Deerfield Public Library won a large trophy
for “Best Organization” in the parade!!! (We also served a record 120 gallons of
lemonade inside the library on that day!)

the Deerfield Library won a “Best of Show” competition for newsletters “in recogni

I never thought I would live to see Pearl Harbor
become a commodity. The Pearl Harbor attack was
a national tragedy whose effect we feel sixty years
after it happened. Now we have a film of the sneak
attack which not only gets history very wrong but
sanitizes the whole event into politically correct
entertainment. For many reasons, this film is a dis
service to both history and the men and women
who died on December 7th, 1941. For the U.S.,
Pearl Harbor was perhaps the formative event of the 20th Century. It has
dominated U.S. military and foreign policy for sixty years. I am not criti
cizing the current film, in fact its use of computer animation is nothing
short of fantastic, but I am criticizing Hollywood’s misuse of history.
Why worry about a film's inaccurate portrayal of an historic event?
Recent studies indicate that less than 50% of the American public reads
anything at all—no magazines, no newspapers, no books, no recipes,
nothing. That is a disgraceful problem. If half the people get all their
information and form decisions based on what they hear on radio, see on
tv, and watch at the movies, and all history is presented via the media in
the form of special effects entertainment, we as a nation are trading on
the dangerous ground of delusion. To think that people watch Oliver
Stone's warped versions of history and do not know that these films are
gross distortions is a sobering, upsetting, notion. The old adage is true: a
person who doesn't read is no better off than the person who can't read.
Not long ago a young man writing an honors paper about Pearl Harbor
asked me if I could help him with his research. His thesis was simple: the
Japanese had attacked Pearl Harbor in order to get control of the atomic
bomb. When I showed him that the atomic bomb did not exist at the time
of Pearl Harbor, that in fact the bomb existed only as a response to that
attack, the young man recoiled at the idea. Why then did the Japanese
mount the attack? When I showed him that the attack was aimed at
destroying the American Navy, he became incredulous and quite hostile.
Why on earth would the Japanese do that? Why indeed? The recent
film doesn’t give anyone a clue, it provides no historical context, draws
bizarre conclusions, presents a depersonalized catastrophe as history. If
the film had just stuck to drama it would be fine, but as presented it dis
graces an event that is sacred in American history.
I guess there is another deep down, nagging, issue for me. So many
films like Platoon, Born on the Fourth of July, Apocalypse Now, The Thin
Red Line, even the goofy Patton, (with a notable exception of the absur
dist noir classic, Dr. Strange!ove,) pose as anti-war films. It gives them a
chic legitimacy, a closer look convinces that these are not anti-war films
at all. At heart they are anti-military, yet glory in death, violence, and
atrocity. It doesn’t trouble me that people flock to see films that revel in
violence, it bothers me that they accept what they have seen as truth and
fact. If you need to see an anti-war film look at All Quiet on the Western
Front, or Glory. If you want to see the real results of war, look at Shoah,
The Sorrow and the Pity, The Best Years of Our Lives, or the chilling
recent Macedonian film, Before the Rain. For anti-war films that pull no
punches, find the older Japanese films, Harp of Burma or Fires on the
Plain. Better than that, read any recent Time article about the Serbian
massacres at Suva Reka. But if history must be learned from film and
media, look at sources that put history into clear focus, not films that
ask us to accept death as entertainment and distorted history as reality.

Take a book to bed, not to bath!
Books and water don’t mix. Literally hundreds
of books have been returned to the library in a
dampened, unusable condition. Since others
are waiting for the book you have on loan,
please handle carefully and remember that
other people want to read this same book.
When the library must replace a damaged
book, there is a charge for the book and an
additional $5.00 processing fee. Why? Glenn
Poch, Head of Technical Services, says that
book (and cassette) processing is time con
suming and costly. We cannnot simply switch
with a new book from a book store. Often we
buy books specifically bound for heavy library
use. Preparationfor patron use includes: with
drawing the damaged book, reordering, receiv
ing, invoicing, cataloging, adding to our data
base, labeling, adding security & date due
slips, laminating and stamping. Also add the
cost of bar codes and other materials to staff
time. It takes a whole Technical Services
Department to handle withdrawing, purchas
ing, and preparation of the materials you and
others want to borrow!

John A. Anderson Retires
from Library Board
After twenty- four
years of service, John
Anderson has moved
to Wauconda. He was
a Deerfield resident
for thirty- four years.
vr
First elected in 1977
and reelected in four
subsequent elections, Anderson’s
term spanned the period from when
the library was new all the way
through the recent renovations. He
provided leadership for two library
directors: Suzanne Whetstone and
Jack Hicks. A multi-faceted man,
Anderson was a strong advocate of
freedom of speech, access by all
residents to all forms of information
and of library literacy. He pressed
for renovation and the new comput
er system and he was instrumental
in bringing videos and other AV for
mats to the library. He said, “Many
problems were solved during my
tenure. I was glad to have been able
to contribute to this great library.”

Three Board
Members Elected
Jeffrey Blumenthal, Donald Van
Arsdale and David Wolff were elected
to serve on the Deerfield Library Board
of Trustees at the April 3 Village of
Deerfield election. All three have previ
ously served on the board. David Wolff
has been a board member for 12 years and held the office of secretary. Blumenthal had
been appointed last year. Both Blumenthal and Wolff will serve six year terms. Van
Arsdale served on the Board in 1994, and will fill the remaining four year term of Yvonne
Sharpe who resigned to move to Riverwoods. All three newly elected trustees are strong
library users and supporters.
The Deerfield Library Board of Trustees holds open meetings the third Wednesday of
every month at 8 p.m.

Joan Bairstow, right, Deerfield Library
Head of Circulation, gladly implemented

Matt Tick, Deerfield High School stu
dent, made a presentation to the library

states that when a parental permission
release form is on file in the library, juve
nile patrons may borrow video/DVD mate
rials on their own cards. Parents must give
the permission in person, and must assume
full responsibility for return, damage, fees
or fines for materials loaned under the pol
icy. The library is held harmless from the
loan of any material. Policies and permis
sion slips are available at the front desk.

�Across the Librarian’s Desk
The retirement of John Anderson from the
Library Board after twenty-four years of service
caused me to reflect on the fine board mem
bers who have served this library in the years
since the library was built. Many, like
Rosemary Sazonoff, were Deerfield stalwarts;
many were not known by the public but made
strong contributions to this library benefiting
the residents and the staff.
John was not the longest serving board member of memory. That
honor would go to former Board President Tom Parfitt, with current
President Sue Benn right behind in length of service. It is hard to sin
gle out individuals but some do stand out. Longtime Treasurer Tony
Sabato, who passed away last winter, taught me all I know about tax
levies and public finance. Rosemary Sazonoff taught me the power of
the press; Wilbur Page taught me respect for the physical plant and
how to take care of it. Sue Benn, especially, has shepherded me
through all our renovation projects for the past eight years and I owe
her more than I can tell. It is with sadness that we note the death of
former Board Member Charlene Reich in early May; she served with
distinction.
Currently the library has a mix of old and new board members. Sue
Benn brings over twenty years experience to the table, David Wolff
twelve years. Our younger members Don Van Arsdale, Sunday Mueller,
Jeff Blumenthal and Ken Abosch bring a renewed sense of energy and
enthusiasm as we look forward to long range planning and needed
community assessment to prepare ourselves for the future. Bill Seiden
has agreed to fill John Anderson’s position on an interim basis. This
board truly reflects the residents of Deerfield and will be a great asset
as we move into the reality of the information age.
As if we needed proof that it is indeed a small world we live in,
this spring Bill Seiden, current President of the North Suburban Library
System Board, and I were in Washington, D.C. for the American Library
Association’s Legislative Day. At the debriefing session held after a
long day on Capitol Hill I chanced to look over at one of our fellow
library advocates. I asked him immediately if he was the Don McCurry
who served so ably on the Deerfield Public Library Board twenty years
ago. Don’s reponse was, “How in the world did you know that?” It was
easy. Don had been a great board member. He had made strong contri
butions to the library, and had make a lasting impression. He was in
Washington as a board member of the Northern Illinois Library System
headquartered in Rockford. It seems Don has been involved in library
service for many years.
At this point it finally occurred to me that as boards have a
tremendous impact on their libraries, so do libraries have a lasting
effect on the board members themselves. It was a fine moment when I
introduced a current board member to one from many, many years ago.
Past and present became one, leading me to feel confident about this
library’s future.
