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.

�Non Resident Card
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.________________
