�Across the Librarian’s Desk
/ \ s I began to write my last newsletter column, 1 could not help but reflect over the past thirty/\ \ four years and remember all the issues—collection development, remodeling, money,
/__\ \ sendees, programs, puppet shows, computers, boilers, leaking roofs, long-range plans,
ji
j \ carpets, sewers, ballast resistors, 4th of July lemonade, stalled elevators, leaking pipes,
JL. A freon leaks, and electrical fires—that I have been involved with for all those years. A lot
of tasks not dissimilar from the myth of Sisyphus—working away at the big and little projects every
day for 34 years and realizing that the work is never actually finished but is always a work in progress.
A work we can always improve. It is important to remember that a library is a dynamic organization
and that if it remains static, it fails. An untended library is merely a room full of books, not a function
ing library7—and it will not be a busy place. There are always a hundred and one jobs, repairs, projects,
enhancements, and changes taking place. The Library currently needs more than a few fluffy chairs and
a coat of face paint. As I look forward to retirement in June, I realize that there is a lot more heavy
lumber that needs to get hauled.
The options for the future of the library are not infinite, nor can they be delayed to the time when the
memory of man runneth not to the contrary. They boil down to some simple choices: 1. Remain in this
building as is and replace or repair the infrastructure. This will cost more than several million dollars.
2. Add on to this building. 3. Build a new library on this site. The work of the consultants (space needs
studies, 1000 respondent resident survey, and a handful of other reports that were done in 2002, 2003,
and 2004) amply demonstrated the capital needs of this library, which remain valid today. The options
are not equal, nor do they all really support adequate library service, and my concern is several of them
are too costly for the miniscule return on the investment. Add to this mix District library concerns,
rapidly evolving computer products, the Internet, and you can see the Board of Trustees have a full
plate before them.
What is necessary for those of you who recognize the needs of the Library is to support this Board as
they move forward. Help them reorganize the Friends of the Library, build consensus and spread the
Library message to all the residents. Support for your library is what is needed most as we move to the
future. It is also very important to remember that, through the efforts of Treasurers like Tony Sabato and
Bill Seiden, this Library has always operated within a balanced budget and is the lowest-taxing entity in
the Village—open more hours and serving more residents than any other.
The failure of the Library referendum constrains a logical and normal growth path for the Library,
leaving limited options. The property to the north is no longer available. What will help the Library
most to succeed is community support, resident involvement, and constructive dialogue. It is important
to remember that nothing innovative was ever done without risk and that nothing worthwhile was ever
easy. There is a lot of tree felling and hauling yet to be done. I encourage all of you library users, who
know and use the library7 daily, to step up and help the new director and the Library Board—and I urge
you to be resolute. You know you need a library now more than ever and have told us clearly you want
it in exactly the same location. Services cannot be expanded, or even maintained at present levels,
without substantial capital improvement.
I end my 34 years in Deerfield June 30th. It has been a great run for me personally and professionally.
Libraries have changed more in the past thirty years than in the past three hundred years. Deerfield was
always at the cutting edge of those changes and developments. Personally, I have raised my family in
Deerfield and made many great lifetime friends. I have a lot of plans for the future—travel, volunteer
work, kayaks, motorcycles, and building projects. I am proud to have been Deerfield Library Director
number five and wish my successor, number six, all the best. The Library’s Deputy Director, Sally
Brickman is also retiring from full-time work. Sally has been my partner, the Library’s creative force,
and friend for over twenty years and it is a partnership I treasure. I will miss the Library and our resi
dents more than words can tell; people have always been the joy of my job. Thanks for the memories.

Space StrugglesNew Services
As
librarians in each department are struggling with
space limitations of our current library, we are doing our best to
keep the collection up-to-date and organized, without overflow
ing, and make the best use of space while still providing some
new services in response to user requests.
The new services are
• Language learning ONLINE (for home use only). The
library has added the Rosetta Stone language learning soft
ware to its list of databases. You use this interactive language
learning product from your home computer (you cannot use it
at the library)! learning at your own pace with no tapes or
CDs to return to the library.
Aimed at the traveler, these Rosetta Stone courses include
French, German, Italian, Russian, Spanish, English (UK) and
English (US). You can use the English course to improve your
skills in your own language. The language immersion method
emphasizes speech and is a fast way to leant a language. You
match an image to a spoken word or phrase.
' Number 2
• More Internet computers...streamlined sign-up...relocation
of library catalogs. Starting in fall, there will be three more
Internet computers (making a total of nine) in the Adult
Reference area better to meet the demand within the available
space. Some library catalogs will be relocated to kiosks more
convenient to the stack areas. The Internet computers in Youth
Services will be dedicated to children and their parents or
caregivers.
A new collection of video games for Playstation 2 and
X-box console systems! Deerfield cardholders will be able to
check out these titles for one week. Some of the new titles
purchased include Halo, Lord of the Rings, Prince of Persia,
Ninja Gaiden and X-Men. In the coming months we shall be
adding more titles to keep up with the growing demand for
these titles. Borrowing is limited to 2 per family until the
collection grows. Children under 18 must obtain a parental
permission slip (different from the video permission slip) at
the Circulation Desk for the games.
Go to the library’s website (www.deerfieldlibrary.org) and
click on “Online Databases.” Scroll down and click on
“Rosetta Stone.” You must make up and enter your own
user name and password, then enter the bar code from
your Deerfield library card as the registration code. You
must enter user name and password each time you use the
product. Instructions will guide you through. Rosetta Stone
offers free technical support by e-mail, fax and telephone.
Studying in the library is easier with our lightening-fast wireless
internet. Bring your laptop and enjoy this library service.

�K.LD.D.O.S. Raises Money
for Library
Deerfield’s energetic Sue Vani, mother of two young children and
Lincolnshire first grade teacher, decided that young children need
ed to learn about philanthropy and that even pre-schoolers needed
to find a way to give back to their community. She came up with
the idea of K.LD.D.O.S. (Kids in Deerfield Doing Outstanding
Service). Their first annual event was a very
successful talent, fashion and art show July 21 at Deerfield’s First
Presbyterian Church. Highlights included an Elvis impersonator
(Kevin Mell, age 8) and hula dancers (Molly and Caroline
Nakahara, ages 7 and 3). Kevin Quigley of Cherry Pit fame
volunteered to emcee, and all proceeds from the show (which also
included a raffle, artwork and crafts) were donated for toys for the library’s Youth
Services Department. Vani said about $1000 was raised and already used to pay for a
new train set, dollhouse, puppets, puzzles and more.
Library Board News
At the spring library board of directors meeting,
the officers were re-elected to their posts for
another year. They are President, David Wolff;
Secretary, Ron Simon and Treasurer, Jeff Rivlin.
Other board members include Ken Abosch, Jeff
Blumenthal, Sheryl Lamoureux and Sunday
Mueller. Their phone numbers and e- mail
addresses appear on page four, should you wish
to contact any of them. Each month the trustees
are holding “Librarian in the Lobby” to discuss
library issues informally with the public. Open
library board meetings are held at 8 p.m. the
third Wednesday of each month.
THE MISSION OF THE
DEERFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY
is to provide our community
with open access to the world
of information and ideas,
encouraging lifelong learning
and personal growth in a
welcoming environment.
Vani’s friends Danielle Pedderson and Marla Callistein helped Vani organize the very
successful event. Their goal this year was to attract children to the library and provide
activity for their younger siblings that would lead to a pleasant library experience. The
library staff is most grateful to Sue, her adult helpers and the children who made it
possible.

In Memoriam
The Library staff was saddened to learn of the
death of John A. Anderson, who served on the
Deerfield Library Board of Trustees for
twenty-four years. Anderson retired from the
board in 2001 when he moved to Wauconda.
He had been a Deerfield resident for thirty-four
years, was first elected to the library board in
1977 and reelected in four subsequent
elections. 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 was always a staunch
supporter and friend of our library and we shall
miss him.

Summer, 2003
Public Opinion Laboratory of
Northern Illinois performs
survey which indicates that
residents want
1. the Library to stay in present
quadrant;
2. convenience: drive-up
access, lower shelves, wider
aisles;
3. an enlarged and diversified
Youth Services Department;
and
4. increased access to technology
and the Internet.
Winter, 2004
Library Planning Consultant
Anders Dahlgren completes two
studies, which determine
1. we need a building 50%
larger than our current one
just to efficiently house
current holdings and
services. (Current library,
built in 1969, housed 61,500
items; same space now hous
es 180,000 items.);

gauge and confirm resident
needs.

ture will soon require $2
million of repair.

it should be “destroyed in a dignified way.”

What to do with your tattered flag? If you do not
want to burn the flag yourself, Deerfield Boy

special training in proper flag disposal. Bring
your old flag to the Deerfield Library Reference

Navy Flier Crashed
at Library Site 60
Years Ago
On Memorial Day, May 31 at 10:30
a.m., the Library and the Deerfield
Historical Society will remember
Navy Ensign Milton C. Pickens with
the unveiling of a plaque in his honor
outside at the west end of the
Library, as part of the Deerfield
Memorial Day ceremonies.
Ensign Pickens had been training as
an aircraft carrier pilot at Naval Air
Station in Glenview where, sadly, a
number of pilots were killed during
their training. The library has always
known there had been a plane crash
on its property. Recently, through
diligent research by librarian Cindy
Wargo, we have learned that it was a
U.S. Navy F4F Wildcat whose pilot,
Ensign Milton C. Pickens of
Houston, Texas crashed and perished.
Ensign Pickens, 20, won his Navy
wings in December, 1943 and
married Dorothy Prindle of Houston
the same day. Assigned to the Naval
Air Station in Glenview, he crashed
on May 26,1944. He was buried in
Houston. At the time of his death, his
stepfather and two brothers were also
in military service.

Across the Librarian’s Desk
The staff and Board are coming to the conclusion of the
long range planning process. Public hearings for input by
our residents will be held this summer.
Over the past two years, a 1000-respondent survey has
been taken, twelve focus groups were conducted,
technology has been reviewed, demographics have been
studied, service levels have been assessed, and
contemporary Illinois libraries have been visited. The Board and staff have prepared
preliminary reports dealing with these issues. Space and building needs have been
studied by Anders Dahlgren, nationally recognized library consultant, who produced
two studies. One is an assessment of the space needs for the current operation which
identified a current need for 54,000 square feet. The second study, a long range
space plan, detailed the need for a building of 70,000-80,000 square feet. The staff
reports, survey, and Dahlgren reports are available at the Reference Desk for review.
The building is currently being studied by the architectural firm of Javore and
Associates to determine what possibilities exist for the present structure and site. The
final two pieces of our planning process will be a series of public hearings for direct
input from our residents and the compilation of the strategic plan itself.
The Library is faced with limited options. The structure’s roof and structural
columns are not stressed to take the floor loading needed for book stacks, making it
expensive and difficult, if not impossible, to simply go up a floor or two. If the
Library expands horizontally, we will lose our parking and access. What the resident
survey revealed was that our residents want the following: the Library should stay in
or near the current location; a drive-through is an urgent need; bigger and better
meeting rooms are desired; quiet study space is needed; a separate area for teenagers
is called for; DVDs, video and audio products are in great demand; longer hours are
desired; parking, ingress and egress are issues with our users; and there is an
insatiable demand for more Internet and computer services.

these problems, the Library Board of
Trustees passed a resolution to
investigate the identification and
acquisition of property in the Northwest

of Library expansion. The Board will

of Deerfield to ensure compatibility
with the Village’s Comprehensive Plan.
The Board will be announcing times
and dates for the public hearing this
summer. If you would like to

�Across the Librarian’s Desk
Every so often you have a moment, or an
event, or you hear a song, that takes you
back in time and place. Sometimes in ajarring fashion, sometimes just a friendly
glance back. The recent death of Cyrus
Vance had both those effects on me. In
what seems like another life, a long time
ago, I and about a dozen other soldiers had
lunch with Cyrus Vance. It was one of those touchstones in life that
you remember with great clarity. I was a kid sergeant in the 8th
Infantry Division and Cyrus Vance was Under Secretary of Defense.
Memory no longer recalls what I ate for breakfast yesterday, but I
can remember clearly Cyrus Vance standing three feet away and
telling me how important my military job was. I also remember
exactly what we had for lunch, (inch-thick New York cut sirloin
never seen before or after on any of my Army chow lines.) We all
thought Cyrus Vance was impressive that day, he presented himself
well—good speaker, direct gaze, no-nonsense—talk about charisma.
Lost to memory is why he actually came to visit our unit, but he sure
did and his government led us into a dark morass.
Memory is a mystery: so much tiny detail gets stored away, but so
much just gets tossed aside by the memory process, apparently as
unnecessary to our day-to-day existence. But the special events, the
rallying points of our lives, stay with us. Defining moments like the
day we were married, when our children were bom, or when we
graduated from college or fell out of the apple tree and broke our
arms. All of these defining moments get frozen in time for later rec
ollection. I am sure they get planted because they are special—not
done everyday—one special event out of a million and one routine
days.
The Library is approaching just such a defining moment like that and
I would like to talk about it. For the past ten years the Library has
worked on upgrading and renovating every aspect of the building,
collection, programs, and services we offer. This started out with the
replacement of aging boilers but led to serious ADA remodeling, a
new accessible elevator, creating a new Fiction Room, total renova
tion of the main floor and then the Youth Services Department. The
final phase of the project was to move away from the JCPL computer
consortium and install our own computer.
In the meantime we developed and enlarged the book collection to
the point that Deerfield has the highest book-per-capita ratio of
any library on the North Shore. Programs were added and expanded, and services were extended. What guided the project from begin
ning to end was vision and a pretty durable long-range plan. But that
is now all the past. The long range planning and goal-setting that
drove us for ten years has been accomplished; now a future plan lies
ahead.
Marshall Field made a fortune and J.D. Powers has made an industry
out of the old phrase “give the lady what she wants”. The hard part is
knowing what the lady, indeed, wants. “Librarian in the Lobby” is a
program the Board added ten years ago to help us know what it is
our residents want and also how well or how poorly they think we
are doing. This project was original to this Library and has proved of
lasting benefit. Not only has the Board shown accountability and
access, but now we have a good profile of who uses the Library,
what they think about us, and how they perceive the future. We look
to the future as a great opportunity and the planning process as a way
to define what the Library is and how we serve our residents. The
new Long Range Plan will be our guide; we want you all on board.
What does this mean? First, we have no preconceived ideas as to the
destination of this plan.There will be study, focus groups, surveys,
and I am sure midnight oil burned on many long evenings before you
tell us what you want us to be. What we are looking for is mission
and goal—what we will study will be services, hours, programming,
staffing, technology, community partnerships (such as the ones we
have with AARP, the Historical Society and the National Family
Partnership) parking and access. We will also study you, our resi
dents, and we want you to help us. We will do a lot of analysis of our
strengths and weaknesses. Using our crystal ball will be the way we
try to put dimension on the future. We all know how fast technology
has changed us, who can grasp the acceleration of that change? We
will try.
What we seek is a durable and authentic game plan to take us ahead
another ten years and serve us well as the old plan did. Who will
help us? We hope all of you will to one degree or another. For
starters we have engaged the Executive Service Corps to survey staff
benefit and salary packages. What will follow will offer many oppor
tunities for community involvement. We take this process seriously,
we want no false starts, expensive failures or dark morass in our
future operations. We want to serve our residents with exactly the
programs, materials, services, and atmosphere they desire. In this era
of communication, technology and information the possibilities are
limitless.
Now, you ask what in the world does Cyrus Vance have to do with
the Library’s Long Range Plan? To me the Long Range Planning
process is like Vance’s visit. It is going to be a defining moment in
the history of this library and that memory will last, for good or ill,
for a very long time. Unlike my hazy, unclear, memory of Vance’s
motives and intentions the Library Board wants our intentions to be
clear- Yes, like Vance we want to present well, we want to speak
clearly, we
goingt0 have a direct g®2®.no nonsense, and (hope
fully) be charismatic.
Unlike the Army, we want to put steak on your plate every time you
come into the Library. We plan to involve everyone in Deerfield in
our planning process. Importantly, we don’t want anyone feeling—
“why did they do that”? We want this defining moment to be a long
lived one that is remembered like a favorite birthday.

Seventy-Five Candles on a Cake
by Sharon Greenspan Lewin, who received honorable
mention for this original poem in the recent Rosemary
Sazonoff contest. She wrote of the library’s birthday!
For the library—institution of
public learning-seventyfive candles are a tribute,
An achievement.
It incorporates the notion that we are immortal
Thru our words.
When we humans,
In Our Community,• • •
Go to blow out our birthday candles,
If there are seventy-five—we think of all those years.
Life is winding down.
Deerfield Assets for Youth
Program
This spring the library began participating
in a community-wide initiative sponsored
by the National Family Partnership of
Deerfield to emphasize important develop
mental assets for youth. The first three
assets are: a caring school climate, a caring
neighborhood and family support. Please
look at the library’s new display (east
room). Find related videos, pamphlets,
books and booklists and a poster listing
assets and how Deerfield youth scored. The
assets are also on the library’s web site:
www.deerfieldlibrary.org.
For info, contact NFP’s Lynn Tramutola,
847-940-1874.
Library Board Treasurer David
Wolff accepts the certificate from
Representative Karen May.
Why does the library live and age so gracefully?
It is home—to the words of mystical-angel inspired,
Writers, poets, jokers, illustrators—who imbue their creative
Spirit energy into print, and colored pictures, and novels.
To the poor and desolate, the abused and bemused;
It is the ability to take us away.
Historical Society Event
All are invited to attend the Sunday, June 2
Re-dedication of the newly restored Ott
Cabin at the Deerfield Area Historical
Society. In addition to a visit from U.S.
Congressman Mark Kirk, there will be
music and refreshments. The Historic
Village is open for Sunday weekly tours at 2
p.m. through September.
Ah, the smells and touches of the library>.
The feel of a well-worn Huckleberry Finn.
Or my pre-adolescent Nancy Drew Detective
The ever-present joy when I read to my one and only daughter,
"I’ll love you forever—As long as I'm living my baby you'll be. ”
Feel the first experiments at curling up in a library to do research:
First research paper in high school.
Then college, law school,
Studying for the bar exam in the library.
Savor those memories.

Our great television personality with her "use your life " series,
Marvels at how books saved her-made her,
(a small black girl from
Mississippi,) believe she could be
Anyone she wanted to be!
Now, she has millions reading about all parts of the world
they would never
be exposed to otherwise. Publishers herald her—
she has reinspired book
sales, book clubs, and libraries.
Some people feel the coffee house/bookstores have replaced
the library,
They are mistaken.
No history or the aura of old souls.
It is no coincidence, that, in the movie,
City of Angels, Nicolas Cage, (an angel) hung out at the
Los Angeles Public Library.
Remember the "Twilight Zone" with a main character who
only wanted to
be left alone to read?
There is a nuclear holocaust, everything is desolate:
He wakes up alive in the nibble, with books all around him
At first he is ecstatic.
Then, the horrific irony-hisglasses are smashed. He can’t read.
Our libraries and books need us as much as we need them.
From generation to generation,
In all stages of our growing up,
One could always find a book to elucidate on the subject;
Adolescence, Dating, Getting Married, Parenting,
Speaking to your kids of adolescence,
Taking care ofyour parents,
How to find good doctors, build houses, buy cars,
Find the right spiritual home.
We must remember in this land of the free---How we are free to have libraries.
In Afghanistan, and Iran books are banned.
In India, there are no public libraries.
So many immigrants talk of theirfirst experience of
Coming to America and being able to "borrow"free of charge
A library book.
In America we celebrate milestones.
We honor our birthdays and our anniversaries.
We know that, there but for the grace of God go I.
The cake should be big, big, big,
The banners should be big, big, and big
Shout from the rooftops,
We Deeifieldtonian readers are 75 years old.
We made it. We’re going to live to be 200.
Our books are our gifts from our ancestors, and legacy to our
descendants

continued from paget
and sponsored outings and tours. Not
to be confused with today’s “outings". A
1914 AAA tour guide told how to drive
to Deerfield so you could lunch at
Deerspring Farm. Cross country events
and racing advanced technology and
cars grew into reliable transportation.
Roads lagged behind, but by the twen
ties and thirties the Lincoln Highway and
Route 66 spanned the nation.
Eisenhower’s national defense high
ways finally tied the country together
and were the catalyst for growth of au
tomobile travel as we know it today.
These highways are probably the most
influential agents of social change that
this country has ever seen.They allowed
for, encouraged, and fostered the growth
of the suburbs; changed the way we
relate to one another, changed where
and how we could work, whom we would
marry, where we would shop,where our
children would be educated, where and
how we vacation , how we live.
As the use of cars expanded, re-ex
panded, and became the most common
form of daily transportation it was only a
short time before they became the stan
dard way to get to work, and the daily
commute became a part of everyone's life.
In the suburbs the station wagon-now
vans and sport utilities-became Mom’s
rite of passage. The use of cars brought
with it the necessary rules and regulations
to make their operation safe and effec
tive. Unregulated roads were chaos:rules
brought order, discipline and safety.
Safety. That is the word behind ev
ery single traffic rule that exists. Disobey
the rules, and crash into another car.
Run a stop light, and run down another
human being. Speed, and kill the child
as she runs for her puppy. It was really
just common sense, over time, that led
to all the traffic laws and regulations that
govern us today. What I see on my daily
one mile trek to the Library disavows all
of this. What I see is a growing chaos; a
daily reduction in safety, civility, and
courtesy. Safety: safety is the biggest
loss. I don’t want to hear that this is a
police problem. Our police do a fine job,
this is a social/behavioral breakdown of
large proportions.
Daily, I am treated to a Mom in a
mastodon sport utility running a stop
sign, not even really slowing down. Just
check for a police car, and gun it through
the intersection. I see a Dad on his way
to the train failing to yield-right-of-way
to school children walking to their bus
stop. Cars of every variety speed
through my residential neighborhood as
if they were competing in the Indy 500.
I see almost everyone turning without
using their turn signals-both an element
of safety and courtesy. I see the same
cars park in our handicapped and no
parking zones as the drivers run to do
their errands-thumbing their noses at
the purpose of those special zones. As
they leave, they back into parked cars,
eyeball the crumpled fender and drive
off. This transcends rudeness into crimi
nality. It accelerates on the expressway.
Of course, you see all the failures above,
only at higher speeds; no turn lights, fail
ure to yield right-of- way, and speeding.
Worse, you see tailgating, weaving in
the lanes, passing when inappropriate,
driving on the shoulder to get ahead of
a line of backed up traffic. You see ag
gression, hostility and anger. You see

people’s heads buried in car phones oblivi
ous of what is happening around or in front
of them. Some of the behavior seems to
be related to the size and power of today’s
sport utility mastodons, some of it to an
inner rage that is almost sociopathic. Not
being a car designer, or a psychiatrist, I
don’t have an answer to either of these
problems. Personally, I believe this behav
ior to be related to modern society’s ano
nymity and social disconnectedness, but
it is mainly just selfish rudeness.
What we are losing is a sense of
safety, because we are absolutely see
ing unsafe driving, plus a loss of civility,
and courtesy. Decency behind the wheel
seems to have evaporated. I guess I
would ask myself how I would like to run
down and kill a small child while speed
ing, cripple or maim an elderly driver
through aggressive tailgating, or ruin a
young person’s future before he or she
even get their life started. I think we
should start looking to ourselves if we
want these antisocial behaviors to stop.
If we don’t take responsibility, I can’t
imagine how bad driving conditions will
be in ten years. The book I am -recom
mending this month, before it is too late
for you, is Illinois Rules of the Road. Al
ways a good read, drop by and read one
at the Library.
Or, ignore the book and get exposed to
it in mandatory traffic safety classes after
you get your big ticket. Orville Freeman,
former Governor of Minnesota, had a great
phrase about driving--”lt’s not a right, it is a
privilege”. And there aren’t any excuses.

My father used to bring home stray cats, and I
think he used the same process to choose his
friends. He brought home a cat that only had a
stump for a tail. Forever called “Tailless,” a car ac
cident had deprived him of his tail and no end of
vets could heal that stub right. The second cat
“Meowser’s" ears had been frozen off, leaving only
a hint that they should have been there in the first
place. We felt sorry for them, but we loved them
because they were great cats.
My Dad’s friends fit right in there with those cats.
Librarian in Hie Lobby
I have no clear idea what my Dad saw in those guys.
Now entering a fourth year, our suc
cessful Librarian in the Lobby offers
the opportunity for patrons to meet
with library administrators to speak
informally of library concerns. The
director and board members listen
to and follow through on patron
suggestions, when feasible. Librar
ian in the Lobby will be offered
Wednesday evenings from 7:309 p.m. December 6, January 3 and
February 7.
They weren’t fishing pals, or drinking buddies. They
had no other common linkage except they were all
as poorly equipped to cope with life as the cats.
Some of them even had frozen off appendages
One specimen had thirteen junked Corvairs and
nine operating motorcyles.
I could but I won’t name names. There was the
guy with fifteen dogs, who we called “Doggie.”
There was the guy who ran a saloon with a giant
live frog in the window, there was the well digger
who had six wives by the time he was thirty, there

he Reference Department
will offer classes on use of
the online computer catalog
and Infotrac gateway to magazine
articles and company information.
(This is not a class on using a per
sonal computer). Please reserve
space by calling Reference, or sign
ing the meeting reservation book.
Classes will be held Saturdays at
10 a.m. on January 13, January 27,
February 10 and February 24.
Here are some inside tips on use
of the computer catalog:
Key Word Searching—especially
helpful when you know only partial
information about a title (example:
you want to Find the series of books
with “gourmet” in the title-written
by a man named “Smith.”
American Heritage Electronic Dic
tionary—to check spelling and defi
nition of words and abbreviations.
InfoTrac: Business and Company
ASAP, Magazine Index Plus,
Health Index Plus—InfoTrac in
dexes periodical articles by subject
and includes the full text of some
articles.
Dial-up Access—to our computer
catalog-from home or business.
(Note: the InfoTrac databases are
available in library only.)

�Librarian's DOSli (contined from page 1)
was the fisherman who could call up wild fish
that lived by the end of his dock, the root beer
bottler whose homemade soda “you opened
outside and caught it in a pail across the yard,"
there was the cheesemaker with the long raft
of floating oil drums that featured rocking
chairs for the fishermen, the car mechanic who
did dentistry. I don’t think he felt sorry for them,
though a lot of other people did, and I don’t
think he loved them all like we did the stray
cats. I do know he thought they were “color
ful" to use his own word.
What those friends came down to was
simple. Acceptance. Don't judge anyone by
what you see on the outside, friends are
friends, who you know are your friends, you
stick up for your friends whoever they are, and
friends don't judge friends. Also, rural Minne
sota did not give you many choices, though
among his group there was an All-American
basketball player, a WWII Marine Corps fighter
Ace, the best pheasant hunter in Washington
County, a sheriff, a priest, a guy covered com
pletely with naval tattoos and a Carnegie LifeSaving Gold Medal winner. They were differ
ent but never boring.
I chose my friends a lot differently, and I
have a far less interesting group to talk to than
my Dad did. I am afraid that this is endemic to
suburban life. Everyone I know is responsible,
has all his body parts, works for a living, has
college degrees, speaks perfect English in
complete sentences, and has straight teeth.
Having been back to Minnesota nine times in
the last two years has really made me wonder
who Garrison Keillor talks about when he de
scribes Minnesota, because I don't meet the
old-time characters there anymore than I do
here. However, it is a serious mistake to think
everyone is “just like us."
The book I am recommending this month
is In Confidence by Anatoly Dobrynin. As So
viet Foreign Minister he was a participant in
most of the Cold War's great confrontations.
Dobrynin knew all the international players
from Khrushchev to Reagan and sheds a clear
light on all the events that shaped our time.
The Bay of Pigs, Vietnam and Star Wars are
all illuminated by a distinctly different perspec
tive than we ever got from our newspapers or
television Duped by his own government
about the missiles in Cuba, cajoled by LBJ to
end the Vietnam war in 1965, Dobrynin was
at the center of crucial world events for over
thirty years and he has a lot to say about all of
it. I think we can learn a lot from these former
Cold Warriors that they learned the hard, hard
way, and that we should never forget.

There are still a few patrons who ask,
“Where’s the fiction?” Others have already
discovered the newly restructured space on
the lower level of the library and the large
new elevator that provides direct access to
the 3,600 square foot room.
The fiction room now houses the en
tire fiction collection of 23,331 volumes
including all large print, mysteries, science
fiction and an expanded paperback collec
tion. The room meets the architect, staff,
library board and publics expectations of
being a quiet, restful, dignified, informal
area with excellent lighting. The room was
dedicated to Thomas E. Parfitt on Sunday,
September 17. Mr. Parfitt, Library Board
President for 20 years, gave his thanks and
appreciation to the large audience.
Bridget Lamont, Director of the Illlinois
State Library was an honored guest at the
dedication. Ms. Lamont commended the
unique use of existing space provided at no
extra cost to taxpayers. She also praised the
fact that a longtime library trustee was so
honored.
We thank Deerfield Bakery, Swansons
Blossom Shop, Bob Close, Hel’s Kitchen
and the Deerfield Garden Club for their
contributions to our successful event.

Fall 1993 saw the installation of the library’s
handicapped accessible front doors and the
addition of an outside video drop for pa
tron convenience.
Now a major priority for the library
board is efficient renovation of main floor
space which formerly housed the fiction
collection. It is possible that the fireplace
and current periodicals will be moved to
the former fiction area providing a pleas
ant reading space in a more peaceful lo
cation. This would increase shelf space
for the nonfiction collection and busi
ness room.
The Deerfield Public Library has received
an official document of Senate Recogni
tion from the Illinois Senate of the 89th
Assembly in recognition of outstanding
service to the community.

Classes!
To use the catalog to best advan
tage we encourage you to attend
an introductory class with Judith
Hortin, Head of Reference at any
of the following times:
Thursday, December I, 7 p.m.
Saturday, December 10,11 a.m.
Wednesday, December 14,10 a.m.
My first Boy Scout Handbook had a pic

Dynix At
Your Service!
Our “mascot” butler welcomes you
to the new Dynix computer sys
tem. We officially went online with
our new system on November 1
and patron reactions are positive!
The colorful new screens replace
our “old” GEAC computer catalog
and circulation system which
served us well for almost 10 years.
(We eliminated our card catalog 6
years ago.)
The faster, more powerful sys
tem continues to be in a consor
tium with Skokie, Morton Grove
and Waukegan Libraries. The
Dynix system is very “user
friendly” and flexible, with
- wider access promised
in the future. This
should include
access to numer
ous periodical indexes, community
resource File, gateways to remote
databases and access to Internet.
We anticipate a smooth adjust
ment and appreciate your patience
in accepting and becoming com
fortable with the new system.
What a man Teddy Ballgame was—a real
hero to all of us kids. The last .400 hitter. In
modern life, all of our shared experiences
come from the media. I didn't know Ted
Williams, I just thought I did. That basic con
tradiction gives dimension to our difficulty in
separating fact from fiction. We have all just

We would appreciate your signing
up in advance for these classes. As
always, librarians are happy to
assist you in using the catalog.
watched Ken Burns’ nine-installment baseball
TV series tell us that baseball is the perfect
metaphor for American life. That the game
reflects us for good or ill, and that baseball
could only be an American game. A charm
ing TV series but a flawed theory.
Reflecting on the 1994 baseball strike that
ruined the best season in- years—the only one
in ninety with no World Series—I could be
inclined to agree with Burns, only in reverse.
Baseball as a perfect metaphor for American
life: grasping, greedy, selfish men lacking in any
semblance of culture, with no knowledge of his
tory. Those who grab mopey without regard for
others, the eventual outcome of a project, or
even how it looks to the outside world. That

these base instincts are the fibre and
substance of American life is something I
do not believe. Americans at our worst,
not our best, ruined the season of 1994.
After twenty-one years of providing
library service to Deerfield residents in a
real- life not a fictional setting, I have
found Deerfield residents to be none of
the above. In contrast, I have seen that
their hearts and minds are in the right
place. 12,700 cardholders in a village of
17,000 tells me this is a community of
readers, intellectually alert, aware of poli
tics, socially concerned, involved with our
kids, and philosophical in outlook. Social
projects, caring about others, and a long
view of history characterizes the people I
know in this town. Is Deerfield a micro
cosm of the rest of the country? I think
so. Is that a metaphor that would ruin the
baseball season of 1994? I think not.
But it has also been my experience
that events in our lives, large and small,
are often shaped by what is worst, not
what is best, for us. Mean- spiritedness
and disparity often come to the fore and
win out in decision making. Wronghead
edness often shouts down reason and
important decisions can be based on
caprice and whim, and only our hindsight
is perfect. Maybe the men who ruined the
1994 season did mean well but by a mis
guided attempt achieved something
nobody wanted. That everyone could sit

of. A group of anti-intellecutal, small-mind
ed nobodies with a lot of money wrecked
the season and we all yawned. It is said
that humor is the only trait that separates
man from the rest of the animal kingdom
and that it protects us from catastrophe.
Sometimes it’s hard to laugh.
The book I am recommending this
month is The Lawyer’s Chambers by
Lowell Komie. This collection of short sto
ries is Lowell's third book and I recom
mend it highly. If you haven't read Lowell
Komie you are missing one of the best of
today's writers. Mr. Komie is not just a
good writer, or a talented one, Lowell is a
great writer whose stories touch at the
heart of all of us. Lowell writes in a very
difficult genre to master—the short story;
when he succeeds, which is often, he
rewards us all with his art.

PUBLIC LIBRARY
920 Waukegan Rd.
Deerfield, IL 60015
Summer 1989
Vol. 4 No. 3
Sazonoff and Wolff Win Board Seats
Sir Isaac Newton is reported to have
said near the end of his life that he seemed
to have been like a mere boy, playing on
the seashore and diverting himself now
and then by finding a smoother pebble or a
prettier shell than ordinary, while the great
ocean of truth lay undiscovered before
him. That’s the way it is for me and many
librarians: shelves of books that span dis
tance, the ages, and all human thought, but
are really a great ocean of truth just wailing
there to be discovered.
In this month’s column it is a privilege
to recommend two local authors, each
with intensely personal insights but with
totally different styles and genres. It is ex
citing to find a gem of a book, or an author
you previously did not know, and to be
able to tell a friend about your find. This
gets to the heart of why people become lib
rarians in the the first place: reading and
sharing.
One of the Chicago area’s finest writ
ers is Chicago attorney and Deerfield resi
dent Lowell Komie, whose perceptive and
revealing short stories about lawyers have
been critically acclaimed. I recommend
reading The Judge's Chamber and Other
Stories, a collection previously published
by the American Bar Association as its
first work of fiction. The style and wit of
this book make it something very special
to recommend to friends.
The other area writer is Harold Gershowitz, a Northbrook resident and busi
ness executive whose first novel has sold
over 350,000 copies and received the
Friends of Literature Award for Fiction.
Remember This Dream is a thirty-year
chronicle told through the eyes of two sis
ters, one who emigrates to America while
the other stays in Poland. The British equi
valent of the Book-of-the-Month Club has
acquired rights for its hardcover publica
tion.
Have a good Summer; we have an ex
citing summer reading program for chil
dren, lots of new books, programs for
adults, and a great Fall ahead.
Jack Alan Hicks
Administrative Librarian
The “ffs” won it on April 4. Rosemary
Sazonoff and David Wolff were each elected
to six-year terms as trustees of the Deerfield
Library Board.
Sazonoff has been a Deerfield resident for
32 years and a library board member for 13
years. To her, books and libraries are very
precious. She recalls volunteering at the
Deerfield Library when it was in a storefront. A feature writer for the Lemer Newspap
ers, she has been involved in numerous Deerfield community groups. “I am delighted to
have the opportunity to help the library move ahead. 1 ran for office because times are
changing and I feel I can offer continuity to the board.
Wolff, a manufacturers’ representative for five metal fabricating companies, has
lived in Deerfield for 17 years and has been active with the Deerfield Community Con
cert Band and Big Band Sound of Deerfield. An active library user, he also looks forward
to working with the board and staff toward continued growth “of one of the best modem
suburban libraries in the state.” He hopes to become to involved with the North Subur
ban Library System and “to show the adults and children how easy it is to unlock the sec
>*
rets of the past at the library, as these are the keys to the future.
Nonresident
Fees Increase
The Deerfield Library Board of Directors approved a $125 fee for nonresident
library cards effective May 1, 1989.
Heretofore the fee was $100. Fees, Pai
annually, cover library service for all family members.
Last year 177 families held non resident library cards. They live in Ban
nockburn, Riverwoods, and unincorpo
rated Deerfield.
The Illinois Secretary of State requires
all public libraries that provide nonresi
dent library service to charge a fee that is
equivalent to the average cost a resident
pays in taxes to support the library. The
state provides the formula to the library.
The boundaries of service for the Deer
field Public Library are the same as the
Village limits of Deerfield. These bound
aries are not related to U.S. Post Office
ZIP codes or the limits of West Deerfield
Township.

Between Memorial Day and
Labor Day the Deerfield Public Lib
rary is closed on Sundays, but it’s
business as usual Mon. through
Thurs. 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Fri.

Peggy McCabe To Retire
Peggy McCabe
After twenty years at the library. . .
“On a dark and stormy night in London, England, I was born,” said Peggy McCabe,
Deerfield’s well known Reader Services’ Librarian.
Actually, it wasn’t really dark and stormy but it was London*. After 20 years of
selecting fiction for the Deerfield Library, Peggy likes to fantasize! Her Scottish father,
a golf professional, and English mother, settled in Deerfield many years ago, but later
moved to Crystal Lake. Coincidentally, Peggy and her husband also moved to Deerfield
30 years ago. She has lived here ever since.
After graduation from Lake Forest College, Peggy taught English at the college. She
later received a Master’s Degree in Library Science from Rosary College. In 1969, to
fulfill terms of a scholarship awarded by the state, she began a two-year stint at Deerfield
Public Library. However, when her husband died at 45, she began a library career that
stretched to 20 years.
In those days the library was located in what is now the City Hall Annex and she was
the only adult librarian working with Administrative Librarian Suzanne Whetstone.
Peggy’s title changed several times and her duties were many: reference work, fiction
selection, programming, service to the Blind & Physically Handicapped, and even a shot
at cataloging. In the early days there were only books; she built the record/cassette col
lection, as well as the large print and talking books collection. She has particularly en
joyed the reference work.
“The library has grown tremendously during the time Peggy has been here” said
Jack Hicks. Administrative Librarian, “and Peggy was instrumental in much of that
growth. Her imprint is on our building, our collection, and our services; she has given
much of herself and her talents”.
Peggy’s sons, Dennis, 38, and Phillip, 35 live in the Sunbelt, but she cannot imagine
leaving Deerfield: “the 110 school district, boys’ baseball, A.A.U.W., high school
teams, and all the people; I love the North Shore, no matter the weather.” She looks for
ward to blocks of leisure time to pursue her many interests including travel, antiques,
stamp collecting, a house that needs attention . . . and READING NON FICTION!
*On Friday, July 14 at 3 p.m. an English Tea will be held in honor of Peggy
McCabe. The Deerfield community is invited to attend.
