ain floor renovation has
provided the opportu
nity to find more space
for the growing business collection.
The circulating business books have
now been integrated into the regu
lar nonfiction collection in call
number order. Not only had the
business books outgrown their space
in the business room, but there was
much confusion caused by

books, for example) being split
between different collections. When remodel
ing is completed there will be more
space in the Business Room for the
library’s other business collections:
reference books, investment ser
vices, annual reports, and current
issues of business journals. The
Business Room also provides a quiet
and pleasant refuge for investors, job
hunters, consumers and local busi

Special Services

The Youth Services Department not only offers pre-school storytimes,

but also invites preschool classes for department tours. A librarian will read a
\
story, give a tour, or help children learn where to find books they might like.
We also will visit preschools to tell stories or promote library programs. As they get older,
children take class trips to the library to learn the library's computers, find magazine articles
on-line, or find science fair information. Often books on specific school projects, such as
Native American Indians, are set aside for use in the library.
Visits to schools help us promote our books or reading programs. Tours for scout troops
often are held after school. We can offer materials, demonstrations of microfilm
machines or computers to fit your needs. As part of our mission to support
the community’s lifelong learning goals, we treasure our
relationship with the schools and local groups.

Library cards expire every 3 years for resi

your card, you must show some form of i.d.
You keep the same card and we update it on
the computer for you. If the card is worn,
we can replace it.
If you cannot find your card at check
out time, we can check you out with a valid
i.d. and a 25 cent fee, or we can hold the
item (non video) for a few days until you
return with your library card.
Asking for identification in both of the
above cases is done for your own safety.
You must register for your own library
card, not someone elses. The only exception
is a juvenile (under 18) whose parent must
register or update, showing i.d., for them.
We punch a hole on juvenile library cards to
show that the holder is under 18 years and
cannot rent videos.
Treat your library card as you would a

We are proud and pleased that the
Pioneer Press Deerfield Review fea
tured the Deerfield Public Library’s
70th anniversary in the January 9
issue. They wrote “The Deerfield Li
brary has truly been a pillar of the
community. Although not the
North Shores largest in size or vol
ume, it easily ranks with the best in
performance. Hicks and the elected
board of trustees have made the
most of every resource.”
And while we are “tooting our
own horn”, next time you see Jack
Hicks, congratulate him on “mov
ing the library steadily forward for
25 years”!!

America has always been defined by three ideas:
equality, opportunity and fair play. To a great degree
those ideas set us apart from the rest of the world,

plenty of them to worship. Without the Soviets to loathe
we have turned against each other.
It is not hard to single out the factors that divided
us over the past thirty years: a Vietnam that hasn’t
gone away for too many; the assassinations of JFK,
Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King, the riots that
followed, the Democratic convention of 1968,
Watergate: the list is long. All of that was a dark pe
riod in our history; it was not the age of aquarius at all.
It was an age of betrayal and loss of innocence and
marked the beginning of the loss of national purpose.
Contined on page 2
�rian'i
continued from paget
The pain and rancor of all of that divided
us as a country. I remember Nixon’s cam
paign slogan of 1968: "Bring us together."
What irony. Today we are polarized by race,
economics, politics, religion, and an emerg
ing class system. All this in an era of great
well-being.
We are bombarded daily with negative
information about our political process and
our elected officials. Not a day goes by with
out a new scandal, wasted millions, and a
partisan Congress. As a society we have
become inured to the outrage we all once
felt. We accept rhetoric for ideas, sound bites
for knowledge, and low level political tricks
for leadership. Worst of all we allow simple
minded ideas to be passed around as legiti
mate thought. The one idea I am going to
examine is the cheap-shot of term limits
which is bandied about from all sides as an
instant cure for our political ills.
The Congress enacted presidential term
limits back in the early 1950’s as a reaction
against the four terms served by President
Roosevelt. It sounded like a good idea, and
it apparently looked good enough for legis
lators to enact it into law. But I would sug
gest it was short sighted, mean spirited, and
contributed to the litany of divisive forces that
I listed above. I don’t know if anyone was
paying attention, but all elective offices have
built-in term limits; they’re called elections.
It is easy to speculate that if Dwight
Eisenhower had been allowed to run for
president in 1960, none of the traumatic
things listed above would have even hap
pened.
Don’t scoff. Ike had great acceptance and
performance ratings from the American pub
lic; he had really mastered the job by 1960
and was widely respected. He also told us
two things that were ignored when he left
office: beware of the military-industrial com
plex and avoid a land war in Asia at all costs.
So it follows logically that there would have
been no Vietnam, no assassinations, no ri
ots, no Watergate, no deficit, and no disillu
sionment. The ideas of equality, opportunity
and fair play were ignored. We threw a great
president out of office. By accepting cheap
rhetoric without examining the conse
quences we reaped a whirlwind we pay for
everyday, with no end in sight.
The books I am recommending this
month are negative choices, but very reveal
ing of our political process. Both have been
on the best seller list; one is a badly written
book with a dubious premise and odd con
clusions, the other a well written book cov
ering an unsavory series of incidents. If you
harbor thoughts that Robert Bork should be
a Supreme Court Justice, read his Slouch
ing Toward Gomorrah and if you think Bill
and Hillary rule with clean hands, read
James B. 9tewart’s Blood Sport.

A Message From Judy Haddad,
Director of Youth Services
I recently returned from a month long sojourn
in Israel. I came back to America gladly and
gratefully. You might be thinking I was happy
to be back because I missed my
family or I didn’t want to be
blown up in a terrorist attack.
Well, you would be wrong. •
What made me feel that we are I
|ucky t0 iive jn the United
States, especially north suburban
Illinois, is the quality of the libraries. There is
just no comparison between the quality of ma
terials and services you find in the North Sub
urban Library System libraries and anywhere
in the world. Rich or poor, big or small, the
libraries in Israel just couldn’t cut it. In many
libraries in Israel, you wont find a children’s
section at all, much less one with such a variety
of puzzles, cassettes, cd’s, computers, or even
books. However, Israel has something that
Deerfield doesn’t—warm beaches.
