Program, Adult programs, a BBC DVD collection, and youth discovery tables. Ms. Reich reported that the group
now has 70 members and is planning to build membership this year.
6.
VILLAGE LIAISON REPORT
Mr. Bill Seiden reviewed the activities of the Village meetings.
7.
LIBRARY DIRECTOR REPORT
The Library Director, Ms. Mary Pergander, provided the following information:
a. Highlights from Director's written report, including Preschool Fair, patron art donation offer, staff member
becoming Certified Genealogist, building issues
Our website had over 700 new visitors compared to the previous period. Tony Keaton has found a reliable,
inexpensive and permanent solution to the multiple issues of the front door locking mechanism. The solution
has been implemented and staff have expressed great appreciation that the issues are finally resolved. Two of
the three needed revisions to the Personnel Handbook have been completed and reported on elsewhere. The
development of proposed salary range changes has begun, using LACONI results. The audit preparations are
underway. We sprang a leak in the storage closet of meeting room C but caught it before damage was done.
Preventative measures were taken. (Mr. Abosch asked if anything can be installed to prevent the freezing of the
pipes. Ms. Pergander will follow-up on this.) One upper window in the Preschool pavilion mysteriously
cracked/shattered. The window was boarded up and a replacement has been ordered. Total meeting room set
ups for the month were 68. Additional assistance of about 6 hours per week is being explored. Six new groups
used the Library during the month, with 51 reservations total. The Center for Enriched Living is providing
volunteers twice a week to help dust the bookshelves. This is a vital service for us, and it is making a very
positive difference in our level of cleanliness, as well as providing valuable volunteer experience for the group.
Kary Henry coordinated our first Preschool Fair, to high acclaim by both the preschools and attendees. The
glowing reviews and a project summary were provided to the Board. Sayaka Suzuki and Judy Hoffman
represented the Library at the Lake Forest College job fair. We executed a Chamber e-blast for the small
business program, with registrations skyrocketing immediately afterward. We have contracted with a presenter
form Zingerman's to provide a half-day of customer service training for staff in late April. Support Services has
begun training staff members on serials functions, for cross-capabilities. The circulation in January was our
highest January ever recorded since we began in 2007. Similarly, there were 3,500 ebook downloads in the
month, compared to 2000 for the same month one year ago. Adult Services Librarian Anne Jamieson will be
pursuing Genealogy certification.
b.
Winter Wish List for Friends meeting - Update
A list of the Wish List items approved by the Friends was provided to the Board.
c.
Illinois Per Capita requirements for 2016-17
Ms. Pergander reviewed the 2015 Per Capita Grant requirements, with special focus on the Board's
responsibilities for the EDGE assessment discussions, since she will likely be gone before those take place.
Head of IT Tom Owen is completing the assessment, and can provide new leadership with the results, for

Regular Meeting Minutes

board discussion. This must be completed prior to September at the latest, so that the Grant application
reflects the completion of the requirement. Another requirement is the evaluation and fostering of
resource sharing options. Ms. Pergander recommends that the Board request that the management team
develop discussion points on this topic for the Board to evaluate and discuss.
Mr. Rivlin asked for clarification, recalling that last year he had reviewed the EDGE assessment materials for
the Board. Ms. Pergander clarified that last year we learned about assessment, now we must do it.
d. Progress report on salary schedule revisions based on LACONI 2014 survey
Ms. Pergander will bring proposed new schedules to the Board at the March meeting as planned, and will
discuss them first with Mr. Abosch.
e. Progress report on Policy review 2015 Ms. Pergander described the process to review all policies with the Board and update the complete manual
prior to her departure in May.
f. Plans regarding art purchases made possible by Friends' donation Since art-knowledgeable board members had given the green light previously, Ms. Pergander is proceeding
with a partial purchase of previously-selected art, using the money donated by the Friends.
g. Confirmation of date for honoring outgoing Board members Outgoing Board members will be honored at the April Board meeting.
h. Invitation to apply for Library Journal New Landmark Libraries Award
Upon further consideration, the Board and Ms. Pergander agreed that this award process is not feasible at
this time.
Mr. Rivlin asked about Library Journal Star Status. Ms. Pergander summarized that these are the libraries worthy
of exceptional recognition on a national level, based on four criteria used nationwide. She especially
appreciates advances such as increasing patron usage of computer services, which has moved us up in the
standings quite a bit compared to last year. There is a two to three year lag built into our reporting.
Mr. Rivlin suggested that Library might find ways to promote downloads with 4th of July Parade celebration and
library promotion.
Mr. Simon asked Ms. Pergander to confirm her final date, which will be Friday, May 29th.
8.
OLD BUSINESS
REVISED Prototype GIVE button for donations, and related donation
Ms. Pergander reviewed the changes made as requested at the last board meeting for the GIVE button,
which now says "GIVING" and is relocated in the DRAFT to the upper right of the Homepage. No content has
yet been developed, pending further approvals.
Report by Marla Dembitz on concerns expressed by Friends at recent meeting
i.
Ms. Dembitz reviewed a discussion held at the Friends' meeting regarding the Library's intention to
do passive fund raising. She explained that the Friends are concerned about causing confusion for
patrons, competition between the Library and the Friends group, tax accountability, and whether
such fund raising by the Library is too close to the recent tax referendum. She referenced the
Highland Park Library website use of a Library-based wish list as an example of the Friends'
concerns. Ms. Reich asked about the joint fund raising committee, where the Library and the
Friends could collaborate. She said the Friends may now be willing to allow usage of or support
grant opportunities which require the need of a 501(c) 3 status, which the Friends obtained several
years ago. Ms. Pergander expressed delight that the Friends may now be able to support the
Library's grant requests in this manner.
Page 3 of 6

Regular Meeting Minutes
February 18, 2015
The board members discussed these points, explained that they feel the Board has a responsibility
to provide an avenue for different types of donations, such as bequests, and emphasized that no
competition is intended.
Ms. Pergander clarified that the website GIVING button would not link to specific wish list requests,
as it does for the Highland Park Library, but would lead to many avenues of engagement, including
giving to the Friends, honoring others with donations for books, making bequests, etc.
Ms. Reich state that she appreciated the clarification and that there had been a misunderstanding of
the Library's intentions.
ii.
Artwork donation
The Board members discussed the artwork recently offered to the Library by a private donor. The
discussion included size and whether the piece could be interpreted as having a religious message in
a public space. Members debated whether the artistic style fit the Library's image. After some
discussion, members advised the Director to decline the offered donation of artwork.
b.
Instructions to staff to reinstitute Library Trustee fee waiving and policy change
Ms. Pergander announced that the process has been reinstituted.
c.
Update - Personnel Handbook revision
Ms. Pergander reviewed the revisions, which included new wording about providing references, and
guidance regarding distracted driving. These are two of the three items the board asked to see revised.
MOTION: Mr. Michael Goldberg made a motion to approve the revisions, seconded by Ms. Dembitz.
Vote: 7 yes - Ken Abosch, Marla Bark Dembitz, Luisa Ellenbogen, Michael Goldberg, Jeff Rivlin, Seth Schriftman,
and Ron Simon. The motion was approved.
d.
Next steps for recruiting new Library Director: Recommendation regarding recruiter and approval of
contract amount
Mr. Abosch reviewed the activities of the Search Committee which had recommended hiring Ms. Lynn as the
recruiter, for a contract fee of $14,000 plus expenses. He reported that this recommendation was approved
in a Special Board Meeting resolution. The Search Committee requested the authority to define the criteria
to be used in the selection process, authorize the placement of ads, and the screening of candidates. He
described the planned process going forward, which would end in a final six reviewed by the committee and
two or three finalists coming before the full board. Mr. Goldberg suggested that the whole board look at
the final six candidates. Mr. Abosch said he was fine with that change of plan, or any Board member can
attend and participate in the Search Committee activities. The final decision can be made when the process
gets closer to that point. Mr. Schriftman noted that after the election there may be a shift of perspective
among board members.
e.
Information about League of Women Voters candidate event March 15
Ms. Pergander announced that Sunday, March 15th, the League will provide an opportunity for contested
non-write-in seats to engage in a public question answering session, for both the Library and the Village
Trustee candidates. She noted that the League has said write-in candidates will not be included in the
session, although they may be introduced.
f.
Follow-up regarding automatic interior doors, survey results, quotes, and possible approval
Ms. Pergander reported her findings regarding public buildings with automatic doors. The board discussed
the cost and how many doors might need the assistance of automation. Mr. Goldberg suggested the doors
Page 4 of 6
�Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees
Regular Meeting Minutes

should be retrofitted. Mr. Abosch suggested that the Library should be professionally reviewed for this and
other ADA issues. Mr. Simon suggested that the tension on the doors might be changed. Ms. Pergander
said she would ask Dewberry about finding an ADA certified professional and determine what it costs to hire
the expert and will also call five local libraries to discover if they use any assisted-open or automatic doors
for internal spaces.
9.
g.
Update - Replacement of main electrical switch and possible insurance claim
Ms. Pergander reported that the case is being reviewed by our insurance carrier as a possible covered claim.
With seven weeks of lead time for parts, Ms. Pergander wants to move forward as soon as possible so that
the two closure dates will be in the next newsletter and the project will be completed prior to her leaving
May 29.
h.
Update - Youth Services tablets for children
As requested by the Board two months ago, Ms. Pergander provided the requested 60 day update, and
reviewed the process for checking the Nabi and iPad tablets in and out. She said that the Head of Youth
doesn't recommend any changes because parents sign them out and these tablets are not appealing to
older kids who want to also use the Internet. The Internet is not available on these tablets; they are
restricted to child-oriented materials.
NEW BUSINESS
a. Proposed dates for Trustees at Farmers Market
Ms. Pergander said that two dates are available in August: August 1 and 8. She also asked about the Board's
preference regarding the second set of choices: September or October. Mr. Schriftman said he would like to
participate and recommended September. All agreed.
b.
Proposal to combine lower level service desks and create seating area using existing furnishings
Ms. Pergander reviewed the suggested plan, which includes moving computer lines, phone lines, and she
also reviewed the benefits to patrons, including unified service location and an additional seating are to be
created where the second desk used to stand. The Board affirmed its approval of the project.
MOTION: Mr. Michael Goldberg made a motion to approve the plan to combine the lower level service desks
and provide an additional seating area, seconded by Mr. Seth Schriftman.
Vote: 7 yes - Ken Abosch, Marla Bark Dembitz, Luisa Ellenbogen, Michael Goldberg, Jeff Rivlin, Seth Schriftman,
and Ron Simon. The motion was approved.
c.
Recommendation to purchase disc cleaner
Mr. Simon noted that the purchase is included in the current budget.
MOTION: Mr. Michael Goldberg made a motion to approve purchase of the proposed disc cleaner (not to
exceed $15,000), seconded by Mr. Seth Schriftman.
Vote: 7 yes - Ken Abosch, Marla Bark Dembitz, Luisa Ellenbogen, Michael Goldberg, Jeff Rivlin, Seth Schriftman,
and Ron Simon. The motion was approved.

LIBRARY DIRECTOR REPORT
The Library Director, Ms. Pergander, provided the following information:
a. Presentation byJenn Hovanec, Librarian: Facebook for Library Board members
This item was addressed earlier in the agenda.
Ms. Pergander began with items that did not appear in her written report:
Now that the other south side repairs are completed, we are preparing for the replacement of the master
switch first damaged during the heavy rainstorms of summer, 2014 when water leaked inside the main switch
box and shut off all our electricity for several days. The replacement parts will take up to seven weeks to
obtain. We want to do the replacement after danger of freezing temperatures has passed, to protect the
sprinkler pipes in the penthouse, which will not have any temperature protection during the two days power is
shut off to do the repairs. We are continuing to work with our insurance broker to see if this work is covered by
our insurance. Also, we obtained the quotes to make the Quiet Room door or doors automatically open about $2,000 to $3,500 per door. PLUS additional electrical work must be done to support the doors. The
architects recommended that if this is desirable, they suggest doing only one door, as doors actually get harder
to open with this in place if the auto feature isn't used. Since this item was not on the agenda, no decision can
be made tonight. However, Board members briefly discussed the issue and asked Ms. Pergander to get
information from other libraries about how and where they have internal automatic doors, such as for rest
rooms. Ms. Pergander expressed concern about loss of auditory and visual personal privacy if such doors are
added to rest rooms. Ms. Pergander also repeated that the architects assured the Board that the doors as
installed currently meet code. The local Deerfield Bannockburn Riverwoods (DBR) Chamber of Commerce has
offered to hold its open house event here at the Library in November of 2015. Ms. Pergander suggests that the
Board agree, because it will be an excellent way to introduce a new Director. Another Preschool Pavilion
window has shattered, with no known cause. The cost to replace will be under $1500. The League of Women
Voters has offered to conduct a Candidate Night for the Village and Library contested seats. The current plan is
to hold the event at Village Hall on Sunday, March 1 (subject to change). This event is completely independent
of the Library or Village.
The above topics just came in this week.
b.
Director's request to retire in May, 2015
Ms. Pergander noted that a copy of her request to retire is in the board packet. She thanked the board for their
support and expressed how much she has appreciated being Director at Deerfield for the last nine years. She
said it has been her dream job, and she is proud of all that has been accomplished together. The advantage of
retiring is to give the board several months to plan for the transition before she leaves. She pledged to assist in
making it a positive and successful transition.

Highlights from Director's written report
Ms. Pergander presented highlights, including the following:
All staff have been trained and prepared for our launches of Hoopla, Learning express, and Careers College.
Freegal and MyMediaMall promotions continue. The front entry doors have been problematic since before we
opened this building, preventing access to the building and resulting in service being needed in some cases
several times a week. A new solution is being developed to redesign how the doors operate, and to eliminate
the chance for human error. The total cost will be about $1000, and no better way to achieve this has been put
forth in the past two years. Ryne Mante used his Hicks Grant to complete certification testing for Network
Certification. Congratulations! In November a police officer noticed that our flag was flying in the darkness,
unlit through the night. We had an electrician correct the problem, and the flag is now lit at all hours of
darkness, year round. Four representatives attending the Chamber luncheon in December, and although we did
not receive the award for business of the year, it was an excellent networking opportunity. An article about the
top ten circulating items was featured in Deerfield Review as well as a number of social media sites. Staff
members continue to write blogs about good books, and these are being featured regularly in the print and
online editions of the Deerfield Review. We conducted coat drives and Toys for Tots. We participated in the
Lake Forest College jobs fair, to promote part time jobs at DPL. We are continuing outreach to families with
children and young adults with special needs, and conducted several programs for older students. We are also
offering training and volunteer opportunities to members of Center for Enriched Living, and have some
suggestions for inclusive programming for mid-aged adults with special needs as well. In December 2014 we
had our second highest December circulation since 2007. Only December 2013 was higher, during our
reopening year. Downloads of books were the second highest ever recorded. The new Lucky Duck collection
has launched - in addition to copies of highly-popular items that can be reserved, the Lucky Duck copy is a first
come, first served option - if it is on the shelf that day anyone can take that copy. Mr. Simon mentioned he was
surprised not to have learned of this in advance of the launch. Ms. Pergander said she apologized if she had not
mentioned the development of this option to better serve our patrons at an earlier meeting. Recent FOIA
changes require making board member contact information public - we are already in compliance with the
change. The number of tax forms available to using paper form is extremely limited. We are informing the
public and assisting them in obtaining electronic copies.
d.
Prototype GIVE button for donations, and related donation information update
At the Boards request, a prototype of the GIVE button was developed and shown to the Board. After
deliberating, they requested that the location be moved to the top line, next to the word FRIENDS, and that
GIVE be changed to GIVING.
e.
f.
Winter Wish List for Friends meeting
Ms. Pergander provided a copy of the Wish List being shared with the Friends next week. Judy Hoffman and
Board member Marla Dembitz will attend and discuss the items with the Friends.
Ms. Dembitz discussed the need for passive donation options for things that the Friends don't want to support,
because they are still needed by the Library. We need to continue the discussion with the Friends about
fundraising.
g.
Illinois Per Capita requirements for 2016-17
Ms. Pergander pointed out the requirements for the next Per capita grant which will involve the Board technology EDGE assessment, and a board discussion about how the library fosters resource sharing. If these
are not completed before Ms. Pergander retires, they will need to be completed prior to September 2015 to
qualify for the grant.

h.
Patron concern regarding December 24 closure of the Library
Ms. Pergander provided information about nonresident who complained to several staff members about the
Library being closed on December 24. Ms. Pergander did a survey of other libraries and other civic organizations
and presented the findings to the board, along with the history of when and how the holiday was given. The
board made no change in the current practice.
i.
Award of Per Capita Grant for 2015 for $22,781.25
This item was addressed earlier in the agenda, under the Treasurer's Report.
Mr. Rivlin said he had been approached by a resident who expressed concern about seeing lights on in the
library after closing for the night. Ms. Pergander explained the lights come on when the cleaning crew is in the
building, and the architectural ("ball" lights) stay on as a design feature. She offered to discuss it further with
the patron, and to get more details to determine if there is a lighting issue, such as a timer that is
malfunctioning.
8.
OLD BUSINESS
a. Memorial Committee update
Mr. Simon announced that there are no updates at this time. He asked if any other Board member would be
interested in chairing this committee, if not also part of the Search Committee, stating that this is an important
issue, but it is secondary to search process.
b.
February Trustee training day Saturday, February 14
Ms. Pergander talked about how valuable this training is and asked Board members to let her know if
interested in participating.
c.
President's Day Legislative Breakfast - Library Board representation
Ms. Pergander outlined the importance of this activity and the impact participants can make.
d.
Strategic Planning meeting for February
Mr. Simon suggested that the Board discuss this agenda item under New Business.
e.
Review of statutes related to recommendation to end Library Trustee fee waiving and possible policy change
Mr. Goldberg said that he had reviewed state statutes and suggested that the legal advice that drove the
decisions made at the previous meeting was perhaps an opinion or interpretation, rather than a strict
translation of the statutes. The definition of the term "compensation" was discussed. Ms. Pergander offered
to have Mr. Goldberg discuss this with the Library Attorney. Mr. Goldberg felt that is not necessary.
Mr. Seth Schriftman noted that the occasional fees incurred by Board members have been so de minimus that
he questioned whether it is worth the Board's attention. Ms. Pergander commented that board member fees
waived have occasionally been over $70 to $100. Board members asked if other libraries have policies
regarding this. Ms. Pergander described the multi-Director discussion about this issue, which had resulted in
the legal opinion she had previously shared with the board. She stated she had learned that we were one of
very few libraries still having this practice of waiving Trustee fines, and so she had brought it to the board's
attention at the prior meeting. Board members discussed the pros and cons of the practice.
MOTION: Mr. Goldberg made a motion to rescind the motion made at the prior meeting regarding disallowing the
waiving of Trustee late fees, and to reinstate the prior practice. The motion was seconded by Mr. Schriftman.
Vote: 4 yes - Ken Abosch, Luisa Ellenbogen, Michael Goldberg, and Seth Schriftman.
3 no - Marla Bark Dembitz, Jeff Rivlin, and Ron Simon
The motion was approved. Ms. Pergander is to inform staff that Library Trustees will not incur fees and fines in the
future. Paying for lost materials was mentioned as an exception.

9.
NEW BUSINESS
a. Recommendation from Policy and Human Resources Committees regarding Personnel Handbook revision
approval
Mr. Simon explained that a joint committee meeting was held in the prior week. He noted that the joint
committee members had questioned the guidance provided about a few issues, including reference and
background checks, social media and use of electronics, and those relating to driving a car. He said that the
joint committees recommended that the Board approve the personnel handbook, with the caveat that staff
should provide alternate wording on these issues.
MOTION: Mr. Simon made a motion to approve the personnel handbook (policy) with the caveat that revised
wording should be presented to the Board within the next 60 days; seconded by Mr. Goldberg
Vote: 7 yes - Ken Abosch, Marla Bark Dembitz, Luisa Ellenbogen, Michael Goldberg, Jeff Rivlin, Seth Schriftman, and
Ron Simon. The motion was approved.
b.
Next steps for recruiting new Library Director: Recommendation regarding hiring a recruiter
Mr. Simon reviewed the actions that were taken when the prior Library Director retired. He asked the Board
members to consider whether a recruiter should be hired, and how much of the process would be assumed by
the Board members.
Mr. Ken Abosch provided additional details regarding the steps followed in the last director search. He
reviewed the time taken on each step, and noted that a staff member was utilized as interim director for a few
weeks. He noted that the Board members had developed guiding principles which should be referenced at this
juncture. He emphasized that the Board had run the recruiting process, aided by professionals.
Ms. Pergander provided information about recruiters, and the options for obtaining a recruiter were discussed
and the responsibilities that the recruiter would be expected to assume. The timing of the process was
discussed.
It was decided that the use of a subcommittee should be discussed further and should be added to a future
agenda. The members decided that a meeting should be set for January 31st to discuss the search process.
c.
Recommendation to hold candidate night for all Library Board candidates for contested seats, sponsored by an
independent organization
This item was discussed above in the Library Director report.
10. EXECUTIVE SESSION - The Board may go into Executive Session (closed to the public) to discuss personnel, legal,
real estate and other matters as allowed by Illinois law.
a. Closed session minutes review and recommendation
No closed session was held.
11. ADJOURNMENT
At 9:55, there being no further business, Mr. Goldberg made a motion to adjourn, seconded by Mr. Schriftman. The
motion was approved and the meeting was adjourned.

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!

Barns never fell down when I was a kid. Yet as
you drive across rural America today that is the com
mon denominator of all states-barns falling down. I
have been struck by this phenomenon for quite some
time and I am pretty sure about what it means. Is it
the rise of absentee landlords, loss of output, lack of
self respect, closing out of the smaller farms, or what
I suspect most: a continued depopulation of rural
America? Actually it is all of these things, and more.
This represents a real change for the heartland
of America. No longer the rock-ribbed center of our
society, rural America now is owned and managed
by large real estate conglomerates, populated during
desirable weather by rich urban rusticators Land not
given over to rustication by urban dudes in their pickup
trucks and useless four-wheel drives has been sec
onded into giant 3000 acre farms churning out a gross
national agricultural product big enough to feed China.
All overseen by banks more interested in the bottom
line than abstractions like rural life.
These events force more and more rural folks off
the lands, raise their taxes, close them out of land
ownership, and give the most choice parcels to city

continued from pagel
people. Of course they let their barns fall
down. But what is this doing to us as a
society? Seeing my grandparents’ home
town of Rockwell City. Iowa not as a cru
cible of commerce, or trumpet of trade, but
as a forlorn relic really hurts. Where are
all the rural Americans, why did they go.
and where do they live now?
The reasons are almost as simple as
the enclosure laws that preceded the In
dustrial Revolution. Farms expanded in
size as units of service, the 1970's and
1980's bankrupted what was left of the
family farm, herbicides, pesticides and a
liquid nitrogen changed the way anything
is raised in America. When I was a kid, a
large hog farm was 100 porkers. Today,
across America, a large hog operation is
a hundred thousand hogs fouling the air
and water for five hundred square miles.
Not only a change in farming, but a mas
sive incursion into the environment as well
as the social strata of rural America. In
urban Chicago welfare is a code word for
racism; in rural America welfare means
half the shrunken population of any given
county.
Why mourn these changes? I suppose
at the basic level it is a feeling for me of a
personal loss of identity. I knew and iden
tified with a way of life that is gone forever.
But I also mourn the loss of a value sys
tem that placed family first, hard work and
industry second, with education underlay
ing both ideas. Instead of a therapist, a tight
knit circle of relatives and friends provided
support and comfort. I look at my grand
parents' home and remember a college
professor, banker, a head of a Fortune 500
company who grew up there. Now it looks
like someone who married his sister lives
there.
Where they all went is a mystery to me.
Many went on to college and never looked
back, others disappeared into low-paying
industrial jobs in the rust belt. But so many
characters I knew as a kid could never sur
vive in the city—no skills, eccentric beyond
description, independent beyond taming.
A rough-hewn class of rough cobs, who
could shoot out a pheasant’s eye at a hun

1984 has arrived ten years late and it is
being hailed as the dawn of a new day. What I
am concerned about is the advent of political
correctness. How this has happened, and how
it has been passively accepted defy my imagi
nation. Maybe the past thirty years have inured
us to accept the unacceptable. It has been a
rough thirty years—Viet Nam, Watergate,
Irangate, the Persian War, stagflation, reces

Donald P. Van Arsdale has been
selected to fill the unexpired one
year Library Board term vacated by
retiring Rosemary Sazonoff. Van
Arsdale is Executive Director of
The Winnetka Community House.
A graduate of Western Illinois
University, he was formerly em
ployed by area park districts and
has served on several non profit
boards. He said, “I’m happy to
serve the people of Deerfield in
this wonderful library and hope to

abilty to move me in time and place and
put me directly into the story being told.
What stands out about all the reading was
my free choice and access to read any
thing I wanted. Free choice is what makes
us Americans.
Can kids make those same free
choices today when they want to read or
even watch TV? I hope so, but I don’t
know for how long. Political correctness is
a fundamental challenge to the
Constitution and the Bill of Rights that
could block access to information, stymie
free inquiry, hamper the right to receive
information, stop freedom of the press. It
has already deeply damaged freedom of
speech. College campuses across the
U.S. have become deeply attached to pc;
in fact, many of them employ the equiva
lent of thought police to insure doctrinal
purity. My problem is whose doctrine,
whose purity? In the condescending clam
our to do good and be nice, are we throw
ing away our crucial civil rights?
My own professional organization,
the American Library Association,
embraces and advocates politically cor
rect speech and thought. Their new ortho
doxy is placing them far from many librari
ans who still believe in the Bill of Rights.
By no means do I want to return to an era
of racial, religious, sexist and gender slurs
and epithets. But I reject the prison of polit
ical correctness as an even more danger
ous social evil. It reminds me all too much
of my neighbor from the Soviet Union chill
ingly dismissing her father's tenure in the
Siberian Gulag as the result of "merely not
being correct with government." Let's hope
I turn out to be wrong when I sa$< 1984 has
come ten years late.Has anyone read
Orwell's 1984 lately?.
The books I am recommending this
month are all nonfiction and cover a wide
field of experience. The Roosevelts by Peter
Collier. Leading With My Heart by Virginia
Kelley. Life of the Party by Chris Ogden,
and finally Land Where the Blues Began by
Alan Lomax. Like Bill Clinton or not, you
can't help but like his mother and her can
dor. Alan Lomax has chronicled American
music for most of this century and knows
the themes and rhythm of blues music like
no one else. Pamela Digby Churchill
Hayward Harriman was indeed the "life of
the party" and knew all the rich and power
ful on both sides of the Atlantic for the past
fifty years. (And married most of them!) The
Roosevelts is a fine essay on money, poli
tics. power and arguably the most important
political family in U.S. history.

High Tech Speeds
Periodicals Search
While the Reader's Guide and the
newspaper indexes are still options
for searching for magazine and
newspaper articles, the library now
has a computer system called "InfoTrac" which allows patrons to
search quickly for articles on specif
ic topics from 1100 current maga
zines and some newspapers.
Each article description contains
the headline of the story, the name

Across the Librarian s Desbi
Librarians are inextricably bound to
books in their personal and professional
lives, yet it is seldom that librarians are
writers, or get to see a book in an early
stage of production. This is especially
true of reference books, since they are
generally contract work done by very
large publishers. Five or six reference
book publishers dominate the field:
Bowker, Gale, Wilson, Britannica, Dun
and Bradstreet, and Standard and Poors.
It is very unusual for an author or
publisher to create a reference book that
is new in concept, brilliant in organiza
tion, with a scope and depth that ex
of the publication, author, pages
and length. Also, InfoTrac will sug
gest related articles. You can print
out this information (not the whole
article)!
If Deerfield does not own the
magazine you need, we may be able
to get a photocopy for you from an
other library.
ceeds existing works. Reference books
by their very nature are cold and evolu
tionary in their own way, written by
professional writers who are more orga
nizers and indexers than they are au
thors. I feel privileged to have seen a
book, early on, that contradicts this de
scription.

Tom Parfitt has stepped down as
President of the Library's Board of
Trustees after serving in this capaci

every document that has shaped
and. guided us for years. He passed
the referendum that built our pre
sent library building.
Also stepping down from office
is Rosemary Sazonoff, Secretary.
Both Parfitt and Sazonoff will re
main on the board. New officers are
Sue Benn, President, and David

�FRIENDS UPDATE
Mission
The mission of the Friends of the Deerfield Public Library is to provide support to the Library through
funds, human resources and the sponsoring of community programs.
Two Years Young
In late 1989 a handful of community members organized Deerfield’s Friends of the Library. Over the
past 24 months supportive, civic-minded village residents have swelled the Friends’ membership to over
40. With everyone’s contributions of time and energy, the Friends have been successful in carrying out
its mission through fundraising events, volunteer support and education programs.
May 1990 — Art Auction
To make room for book shelves, the Library had to remove its display of art prints and
end the service of loaning them. The Friends held an auction of the 175 prints as its
first official fundraising event.
October 1990 — Agatha Christie Centennial
Friends sponsored a community program to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Agatha
Christie. Preceding the lecture, the Friends hosted an authentic English tea.
January 1991 — Library support
Friends members volunteered to help at the Library-sponsored lecture and book sign
ing for Shelby Yastrow, author of Undue Influence.
April 1991 — Children’s Program
Friends sponsored a children’s folk song fest and lively hoe down featuring Jenny
Armstrong.
July 1991 — Family Days
Friends provided volunteers to help Library staff distribute lemonade during the 4th of
July activities.
August 1991 — Trunk Sale
Community members are invited to fill their cars with all their “treasures” and sell them
in the Library parking lot. The trunk sale is an annual fundraiser for the Friends who
rent the Library’s parking spaces to sellers.
Into the Future
January 1992 — Children’s Program
Punch and Judy come to Deerfield. (See this issue’s calendar.)
June 1992 — Trunk Sale
TBA — Fundraising event
July 1992 — Friends of the Deerfield Library 4th of July Parade Float
TBA 1993 — Book Sale
This event requires many manhours to accomplish and will be held only if there is a
commitment of time and interest among membership.

Monies generated through fundraising events and membership dues are returned to the community through
the sponsorship and hosting of community education/entertainment programs.

the very best of what reference pub
lishing should be. Written from the
heart, with professional experience,
this book will become a classic — used
by parents, students, librarians and
counselors alike. The K & W Guide fills
a need and answers questions that no
other book does. This is exceptional
reference writing.
I was, and still am, astonished by
their effort. I have never seen a refer
ence book in its first edition that has
the content, scope, authority, organi
zation and coverage that this book
has. That two first-time authors could
produce a book this comprehensive
and discriminating is truly an accom
plishment. When the authors showed
me the book for the first time, I sus-
pect they had an idea of just how out
standing it is.
Now we all know. Library Journal, the
flagship of library magazines, has just
given the book a starred review — the
highest they give. A rave, it compares
the K& W Guide to Lovejoy's Guide and
finds it a superior book. I am sure it will
be a standard reference book used in
every library in this country. I am also
sure that the authors will reap the re
ward and recognition they deserve. The
best part is that the parents and stu
dents with learning disabilities will find
the reassurance, support, hope and
guidance they need. Well done, Imy
and Mary Beth!

Across the Librarian 's Desfci
Edward R. Murrow described
working in public life as a slippery
slope. Having worked in public ser
vice, for twenty years, I guess I would
agree. I entered the library profession
because of a lifetime interest in books
and reading. What I found, of course,
is that libraries, like everything else in
life, are service industries where many,
many people touch and enrich your
life.
The first project I was given when I
came to Deerfield was to build a pup
pet theater and do puppet shows for
the public. I remember that summer
very well, though many of the children
and adults involved have since faded
from memory.
One little boy stands out clearly: a
shock of red hair atop a face full of
freckles. The relationship and friend
ship that grew out of that summer of
puppets came to include his parents
and my family. The main product of a
town like Deerfield is the young peo
ple who grow up here but move else
where once they are educated and
grown. The everyday tragedy is that
you seldom get to see them again.
I followed this young man's educa
tion and career as he moved from
Deerfield to Urbana to Connecticut to
New York, and then I lost track of him,
as his parents moved away. The fond
memories would come back now and
then but they belonged to a period of
20 years ago.
Last month I was in my office with
a Library Trustee talking about the
benefits of the Deerfield Library to
our residents. This discussion took on
several dimensions such as education,
lifetime learning, and recreation. My
assistant buzzed on my intercom that
a young man was here to see me
between planes at O'Hare and could
he break up my meeting? The red
hair was instantly recognizable.
Well, to make a long story short,
David had come to tell me what the
Library had meant to him, how he
had an edge over his classmates at
Deerfield, University of Illinois and
now at the Tokyo Bank where he is a
Vice President. The reunion was nec
essarily short but extremely heartfelt
on both sides. I later got a call from
New York to confirm several of the
points he had made with me about
the value of the Library in our com
munity.
"The library gives me the world,"
is how he put it. A sublime moment
for an old reference librarian.
"How'd you get him to do that?"
was what my Trustee wanted to
know. Some of us are just lucky.

Summer 1991
DEERFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY
^.ifruvitcui
*De4j6.
Graham Greene died April 3,1991, but as
"LeMonde" said the next day, "Graham
Greene will never die... Greene has always
been a man at the dizzying brink of things
where faith wavers, spies become double
agents, love turns to sadism, and anything
can happen."
No author I can think of wrote encom
passing narrative characterizations like
Greene. His novels were defined by charac
ters and values (or lack of values) rather than
plot. Greene was a master at describing time
and place and drawing the reader straight into
the dark and perverse side of a world where
good and evil are exposed in every character.
No author identified so clearly the underclass
the world - what he termed "the torturable
'ass." No author understood the gulf be
tween rich and poor, powerful and powerless
Greene did. To me his themes were broad and
universal - not confined to, yet focused on,
healing, reconciliation and forgiveness.
Greene penned these ideas in an outline of
reverses: a world of betrayal, powerlessness,
pain, and evil with the only redeeming
dimension in life being the spiritual one. In
The Power and the Glory he presents us with
a novel of persecution and despair, yet it is a
book that completely defines the spiritual
side of man’s nature - regardless of religious
tradition.
Many books hold special moments for us,
and we revisit them to regain those pleasures,
or touch those moments. All readers have
their favorite books - my favorites are almost
all Graham Greene. The books I am recom
mending are: Brighton Rock, The
Comedians, The Heart of the Matter, The
Honorary Consul, Our Man in Havana, The
Power and the Glory, and The Quiet
American. There are so many others I suggest
you browse the shelves and read any and all
of them. I will discuss The Power and the
ory in the library’s fall book discussion.

Fees Increase
Residents of incorporated Deerfield are
entitled to free library cards. Non-residents
who want a Deerfield card may purchase a
^m11 privileges non-resident library card for
^el50. This fee is set by the State and determined by a special formula related to
residents’ lax fees. The non-resident card fee
was formerly $125.00.
The boundaries of service for Deerfield
Library are the same as those of the village
limits - NOT related to U.S. Post office ZIP
codes or West Deerfield Township limits.
With a Deerfield card you can borrow
from any of North Suburban Libraries’
public libraries. (This may not include
videos).
F. Y.l.
Fines... As of May 1, overdue fines
were raised from five to ten cents
per day. A significant line item in
the budget, fines have not been al
tered in 15 years. The increase also
brings fines in line with what neigh
boring libraries charge. Video
overdue fines remain $2.00 a day.
Since others may be waiting for the
materials you have, we appreciate
prompt returns. Reminder: If you
lose or damage library books, there
is a non refundable cost of the item
plus a processing fee of $5.00. Un
returned video: replacement cost,
plus $20 processing fee.
A new brochure, "A Guide to
Library Services" is now at the Cir
culation Desk. This brochure was
made possible by a donation from
the Friends of the Deerfield
Library.
Donations welcome... The Refer
ence Department would appreciate
donations of Consumer Reports
magazines from the last five years.
Due to heavy use, the library’s
copies deteriorate quickly.
With the cost of books spiraling,
(average costs: nonfiction, $40 and
fiction, $25) the library appreciates
book donations, including paper
backs, in good condition. The
Townley Club of Deerfield
generously donated $250 to
replenish the library’s classics. We
also thank those who have donated
books, magazines and annual
reports.
Exhibits at the entrance to the
library are changed monthly. We
welcome your collections of inter
est, with artifacts, if they relate to
library books.________________

BROWSING
at the DEERFIELD
PUBLIC LIBRARY
inter 1990
Vol 6, No. 1
920 Waukegan Rd.
Deerfiled. IL 60015
the
'& 72eA&
Two things happened recently that have
made me unusually sensitive to people’s
reading levels and skills-and their ge neral
lack of knowledge about our society.
The first was the PBS Civil War
television series-which was engrossing and
disappointing to me. As a lifelong Civil'War
junkie I was overjoyed by a vastly entertain
ing program. But it did not clarify, give
sequence or add coherence to the Civil
War. Events that happened simultaneous
ly were treated as if they happened two
years apart. Many viewers do not know
which side William T. Sherman was on, or
that Grant captured Vicksburg the same
day as Gettysburg-yet paroled his 10,000
prisoners back into the Confederacy.
What we need in this electronic age is in
formation clarification-not mystification.
The other eye opener was one of the
most effective and intelligent people I have
ever known-a naturalized U.S. citizen^feisked me to compile a list of books that
^^vould fill in what he perceives as gaps in his
overall knowledge of our country, and raise
his consciousness about items of cultural
literacy. The idea of a general paucity of
cultural knowledge has been a hotly
debated topic among social scientists for
several years.
I understand that a specialized, techni
cal education can definitely lead to
deficiencies in general knowledge, and that
being raised in a very different culture may
skew your interpretations of American
traditions. As a Librarian, I see technical
education and cultural diversity as two of
the key elements that have made America
a great society.
A lack of reading is a major problem
that confronts us today. Television, videos,
ten second sound bites and fifteen minutes
of celebrity, do not impart the same cul
tural identity and awareness-of who we are
and how we got that way-as effectively as
reading. Television is the primary way most
people get the news and their other information.
The book I am recommending this
month is Who Reads Literature? by
Nicholas Zill and Marianne Winglee. This
provoking analysis makes it clear that there
^^are very large numbers of citizens who canMkot read, and even larger numbers of those
who can but will not read. This malaise is
serious and will negatively affect our fu
ture.
Jack Alan Hicks
Administrative Librarian
Shelby Yastrow - Deerfield’s Own Author
Start the new year right by welcoming
Deerfield's own-corporate lawyer Shelby
Yastrow and best selling author of Undue
Influence on Tuesday evening, January 8 at
7:30 p.m. Yastrow, whose new "Lite Lawyer
novel is one of the snappiest courtroom
capers yet" (Kirkus Reviews), was the sub
ject of a front page/fealure story in North
Shore magazine.
His novel has hit the Chicago best seller
list and is being considered for a movie. A
gifted storyteller, he will share with us why
he wrote this "yarn spinning" novel, how he
got it published and what he tried to ac
complish. Our witty and personable
neighbor will be feted at an autograph
reception following his talk. Make reserva
tions now!
Of Importance to You
Deerfield Library has received a per
capita grant of $17,432.00 from the Il
linois State Library. Slate regulations
require that this money be dedicated
to projects that expand or enhance our
services. The money will be used to
sponsor adult programs, fund the
newsletter and purchase foreign lan
guage books.
If you do not have your library card with
you to check out library materials, you
must have some form of identification.
All new adult fiction of less than 400 pages
now circulates for one week. A faster
turnaround time should satisfy
patrons’ desire to obtain new books. If
there is no one waiting to read the book
and the book is not overdue, it may be
renewed for seven days. Renewals may
be in person or by telephone. After six
months, new adult fiction is loaned for
three weeks.
Just like the video store: please remember
to rewind your library videotapes
before returning them. Do not place
videos in the book drop; bring them in.
Deerfield cardholders, over 18 years of
age, may borrow up to 4 videos for
three days, at a cost of $1 per video;
overdue videos are $2 a day.

A FEW HINTS ON USE OF
THE LIBRARY’S ONLINE
CATALOG
The library’s or.iine public catalog, rep
resents holdings of books, sound
recordings, and videos, not magazines or
newspapers. The online catalog contains
the collections of Skokie, Morton Grove,
and Waukegan Libraries as well as Deer
field.
You can limit your search to Deerfield
by typing in LIB either as a separate com
mand or as part of another command: for
example, LIB/SUB/COOKERY. The
command ALL will resume the search of
all four libraries’ collections.
Consult the red "quick subject guide to
shelf location" at each terminal. This book
helps you to find the right words to type into
the computer for a subject search.
Example: You won’t find a list of books
on GREEK MYTHOLOGY by searching
under that heading in the subject files of the
computer. But, if you look under "GREEK
MYTHOLOGY" in the red subject book
near the terminal, the book will tell you to
type in "MYTHOLOGY, GREEK" in
stead.
If you just want to browse the library in
a certain nonfiction area, the red book also
leads you to call numbers associated with
specific subject headings.
If you have trouble searching the com
puter, ask the Reference Librarian for
help!
Income Tax

advice will be offered in the library’s

Fall 1990

—The other side of Lake Wobegon—
A Death in White Bear Lake is a book
about an “All American City.” This^ is a
hard story to discuss because it deals with
a small boy savagely beaten to death by ftis
mother — a child abuser. But it is an im
portant book on several levels and for ver^
serious reasons.
The homicide took place in 1965 but
because people closed their hearts and
minds to the evil around them, the legal
system sputtered and faltered and the case
was filed away for twenty-two years. In
1987, through an unlikely series of events,
a group of everyday people did some very
extraordinary things to see that this murder
would not go unpunished.
A courageous medical examiner re
opened the files, a determined police force
^J3uilt a strong charge, and a dedicated legal
^A'stem pressed the trial to a just conclu^^ion. These brave and outraged people
remembered an innocent little boy and
demanded justice, unlike so many who did
not speak in 1965, or denied, or lied, or
intimated, or covered up.
The real question raised by this book is:
what would you or I have done? Would we
look away, harden our hearts, refuse to get
involved to protect ourselves? After twentytwo years would we still turn away? Would
we remember? Would we have the courage
to stand against evil? If not, how would we
choose to be remembered? The message is
clear — if this could happen to an “All
American City” it can happen anywhere.
If they could do it, we could do it. Inertia
and failure to act are the real unknowns;
how easy it is to be brave if you are never
put to the test.
The author, Barry Siegel, merits great
praise for outstanding reporting. This
haunting book has an amazing texture,
depth, and feel for time and place. John
Donne wrote that... “no man is an island,”
a phrase that has a special meaning to me
because the crib side doctor who saw a
^Meath by child abuse and turned aside was
community stalwart in White Bear Lake
— my home town — and the attending
physician at my father’s death.

Changes to Serve You Better, Faster • • •
The popular new books are wanted by so
many; this often means long waits for the
best sellers. We are trying to deal with this
problem by shortening loan periods for new
fiction books and by ordering more copies
faster.
Beginning Sept. 4, all new fiction books
will have one week loan periods until they
are six months old. This should provide a
faster turnaround time for the next person.
Books can be renewed by phone or in
person if they are not overdue and there
is no waiting list.
While we cannot quickly satisfy 60 re
quests for Scott Turow’s “Burden of
Proof,” we are anticipating demand for
popular authors by using a new Fast Track
ordering system. It promises speedy
delivery of multiple copies of projected best
sellers. Some of these are Belva Plain’s
“Harvest”, Dick Francis’s “Long Shot”
and Sidney Sheldon’s “Memories of
Midnight”.
All new books will stay on the NEW
BOOK SHELVES for one year — nonfic-
tion by the fireplace, fiction on the new
stacks in the Fiction/Quiet Room.
To keep the collection current, librarians
are busy with a major weeding
(housecleaning) project. Outdated and
damaged books are removed from the col
lection, and some are placed on the
ongoing “for sale” carts.
Large Print Books, Adult Basic Readers,
Short Story Collections, and Circulating
Paperbacks are now next to the new fiction.
For reading suggestions, check our new
guides to good reading. These include lists
of new Deerfield books; “Bestsellers”
which include author close ups, plot sum
maries, what the critics say, and related
must reads; Best books of ’88 & ’89, and
lists of Techno Thrillers, Traditional
Romances, Faraway Places, Pigskin Peo
ple, Spies, etc. On display are also
“Modern Fantasy: 100 Best Novels,” a
book listing the best crime and mystery
books, “Sequels: A Guide to Reading in
Series”, American Best Sellers, and other
books offering reading suggestions.
The five story Illinois State Library
building was dedicated on June 20. It faces
and is designed to be compatible with the
architecture of the 102 year old State
Capitol building. The library houses the
state’s 4.7 million volumes, and state and
federal documents. In the planning stages
for 20 years, the project became a reality
when it received $36 million as part of the
“Building Illinois” program. The library’s
resources may be borrowed by using a
library card issued by any Illinois public
library.
At the dedication of the State Library building in
Springfield, Deerfield Librarians Baiba
Rosenkranz, far left, and Sally Brickman, flank
Secretary of State/State Librarian/Gubernatorial
candidate, Jim Edgar, with Elliott Kanner, far right
(Deerfield resident & North Suburban Library
System administrator).
Please let us know • • •
We are trying to determine the need for
library outreach service in Deerfield. If
there are people who would like to have
library service but are unable or have dif
ficulty getting to the library we would like
to know. Difficulty reading? Ask about our
specialized talking books from the National
Library Service for Blind/Physically
Handicapped.

requested.
North Shore Author Eleanore Devine
Tuesday, Sept. 11, 7:30 p.m.
Reviewers heralded her “quietly shock
ing” short stories from “You’re Standing
in My Light” as ‘’remarkable because they
are tart, taut, touching, economical, ellip
tical, sharp, sensuous and sexy”. Devine
lays claim to a territory of human ex
perience few writers have explored with
such honesty, perceptiveness and vigor;
that of the aging older woman, adamant
that her life make sense, determined that
certain human values be expressed.

discuss what codependency is, how
childhood wounds surface in adult years,
and actions that can be taken to emerge
from this condition.
Children and Families in the 90’s
Tuesday, Oct. 9, 7:30p.m.
Co-sponsored with the League of

tions on night fears, sibling rivalry, creative
play, imagination, etc. and respond to
questions.
Reality of Retirement
Tuesday, October 23, 7:30 p.m.
In cooperation with the Deerfield Senior
