V6 Pubtic Library
Scholarship Fund
Announced
The Board of Trustees is pleased
to announce that the recently estab
lished Jack Alan Hicks Scholarship
Fund is now accepting donations
from the public. This fund,
established to honor the long and
dedicated career of recently retired
Administrative Librarian Jack
Hicks, will offer annual grants to
assist Deerfield Public Library
employees in furthering their
professional development. These
grants will help DPL staff continue
to extend their expertise in meeting
the public’s rapidly changing
information-age needs.
To donate, send a check in any
amount to Hicks Scholarship Fund,
Deerfield Public Library,
920 Waukegan Road, Deerfield, IL
60015. Checks should be payable
to the Deerfield Public Library,
with “Hicks Scholarship Fund”
noted on the memo line. Get more
information at
www.deerfieldlibrary.org or call
Linda Shepherd at 847-945-3311.
In the first seven months of 2006, our
patrons have checked out more than
28,000 DVDs. This is 60% more than
the same period last year.
Welcome
With this issue of our newsletter, the Board welcomes our
new Library Director, Mary Pergander.
Ms. Pergander has a strong background in library adminis
tration and other leadership positions. Most recently, she
served as director of the Lake Bluff Public Library. Ms.
Pergander brings energy, leadership, organization and
communication skills plus business experience to this
challenging position.
The decision to hire Mary Pergander as the Library Director was made after a
thorough national search within the profession. She was selected from among almost
forty applicants and will be a great asset to the community.
Ms. Pergander holds an MBA from Lake Forest Graduate School of Management and
an MS in Library Science from the University of Illinois. She assumed her new position
in mid-July, succeeding Jack Hicks, who served the library for 34 years.
The Library Board and staff of Deerfield Public Library invite
members of the community to meet our new director at a public
reception on Sunday, September 17, from 2-3:30 in the
Deerfield Public Library. We hope you will join us.
Ron Simon

Amy Simon
Book Fund
The Youth Services Department has
recently purchased three expensive
sets of books from the Amy Simon
Fund. The volumes are: Discovering
Cultures, Cultures of the World and
The Elements. Chris Kopeck, Head of
Youth Services, said “We would not
otherwise be able to purchase these
sets which will help children learn
more about and discover the world
around them”. The fund, established
in Amy’s memory in 1991, is targeted
to “expand our knowledge of the
world and its people”.
In the Library
Voter Registration
Voters Turn Down Library
Advisory Referendum
The Deerfield Public Library had an advisory referendum on the November 2,2004
Deerfield ballot requesting “bonds in the amount of $25 million be issued for Library
purposes of the Village of Deerfield, in Lake County, Illinois for addition or
construction of a new library building of at least 80,000 sq. ft. including site acquisition,
parking, library materials and technology and related fixtures, furnishing, improvements
and costs”. The final vote tally was 31.43% in favor and 68.57% against.
The staff and board would like to thank all those who supported the library and most
particularly Deerfield resident Bill Darrow and his citizens’ group who worked so hard
to communicate the library’s message. We also greatly appreciated Amie Grahl,
Deerfield Review editor, who gave the library's referendum a wonderful endorsement in
the Pioneer Press on October 21. This was the first time in over 35 years that the library
had gone to the taxpayers for building funds, asking for community support to replace
the present library which has outgrown its 1971 building. More space and equipment
are required to respond to the needs and requests from the Deerfield community. The
library board will continue to plan future library service which the community wants
and deserves.
Deerfield Area League of Women Voters
co-sponsors voter registration with the
Deerfield Library from 10-2 Saturdays,
February 19 and 26 and March 5 for Lake
County residents. Bring identification.
Income Tax Assistance
AARP volunteers trained by the IRS will offer
assistance with income tax forms at the
Deerfield Library from 1 to 4 p.m. Tuesdays
and Fridays, from February 8 through April 15.
You must make an appointment by calling the
library at 847-945-3311, and please bring last
year's form.

with cronies and stopped, for reasons

Aside from family photos and

Long Range Plan Continues to Develop
By Sunday Mueller, Board President
Over the last year the Library Board of Trustees has been hard at work in developing a
long range plan for the Deerfield Library. When it is finalized, the board will release
its written plan to stand as a blueprint for the future. Key components of the plan will
include both the library’s operations and facilities.
Public Opinion Laboratories (POL) of Northern Illinois University conducted a
telephone survey this past spring, completing 1,000 interviews with Deerfield,
Bannockburn and Riverwoods residents. Many of the respondents especially valued the
library’s accessible location and Children’s Department. The Adult Fiction Room
received high marks and there was a stated desire to enhance the audiovisual and non
fiction holdings. Other respondents indicated use of multiple libraries, and the data was
helpful in providing insights about the reasons for that use.
Hoping to gather in depth opinions about the library, the Board commissioned
POL to conduct focus groups. Twelve focus groups were held over the summer with
ten different subgroups of residents. Grouping the participants allowed the moderator
to explore issues of special interest to that particular group. As one might expect, the
opinions from these groups were varied but common themes were identified.
Since the library’s current physical space is fully utilized, we hired Anders
Dahlgren of Library Planning Associates, Inc. to assess the current space needs of the
library. Using more conventional space allocations (wider aisles, lower shelving) as
well as the proper amount of seating space, it would take a building about 50% larger
just to house our current holdings and services. Dahlgren is now working on an
estimate of long range space needs based on projected holdings, program of services,
new services and overall projected growth for the next 25 years.
As we continue this process, there will be more information needed and many
options examined. As you can guess, the board has spent many hours on this project
and knows there are many more ahead. The board is totally committed to creating a
vision that best meets the needs of current and future library users — using the
interviews, focus groups and space needs study as a source of direction. We will share
this vision as it unfolds in ftiture issues of Browsing.

at the Deerfield Library
n January 1, 1927 Mrs. F.W.
Russo, Librarian and Mrs. C.
Wolf, Assistant Librarian
opened the doors to Deerfield’s first
library. The library was housed in the
Deerfield Grammar School (which later
burned down) and was furnished with
700 books donated or purchased with
funds contributed by the citizens of
Deerfield. With no taxing power, the
original incorporators relied upon
donations from the community, led by
the Deerfield Chamber of Commerce.
In 2002, we celebrate 75 years of
serving Deerfield. Our present building
(dedicated in 1971) houses 178,857
materials, circulates 328,084 items
annually and boasts its own fast, online
computer system.

grams for you, January you can sign
our big birthday card for the library;
February we will have the Rosemary
Sazonoff Contests for Adults and
Children; Sunday, March 10 (save the

Grapes of Wrath and leads a discussion on
their great literary value. Knowledge of these
books will enhance the discussion, but all are
welcome to attend.
�What can you say in the aftermath of the World Trade
Towers? That act dwarfs, in sheer magnitude, any previ
ous catastrophe to befall America. Mere words fail. A
defining moment none of us will ever forget. In the days
and weeks that followed it was clear to me that in an
important way the terrorists had failed. Instead of divid
ing and terrorizing us, that terrible day had acted to pull
us together. The flags, the universal respect for the
police and fire departments, the calm and measured
actions of the Federal government all reinforce the unity that came to us that terri
ble September morning. Those airplane disasters were intended to cripple us,
instead they united us.
What will the long term require of us? Certainly this will not be a quick and easy
campaign against a silhouetted enemy like Desert Storm. The struggle we are
embarking on is one of shadows and stealth where the force of our weapons will
not be as important as the power of our ideals for this is a war against a mindset, a
subculture, a blooded network of disaffection and hate. An enemy banded by a
hate that has been festering for years. This is a target that will not succumb to
standing still and letting us take a shot at them. Maybe more importantly this is
not a war against a country; this is a war against vengeful individuals who hate the
U.S. History really does not supply a convenient precedent for us to benchmark.
This is all new territory, this is not Desert Storm and this is not Vietnam; it could
end up being more like the Marshall Plan.
The world has changed, and not just on September 11th. It is now clear that prior
to the World Trade Towers we Americans were unaware of the depth and breadth of
the hatred arrayed against us. Certainly there are glib parallels to our tortured
attempt in Vietnam to win the hearts and minds where we won no hearts or minds.
But that was a local conflict with local goals; any domino effect was only in our
imagination.
It is clear to us that the threat of this brand of terrorism crosses many borders,
political and economic lines; and is deep seated and widespread. That these
groups can thrive in the U.S. is a product of our open society; that they can also
thrive hidden in the former Soviet Union demonstrates the power of the hate
aligned against us. Resolution of this war will not be simple; it will be complex. It
will not be cheap but there is no choice; if we fail we could face a new dark age.
There was a Greece, a Rome, a Byzantium and a Dark Age.
Will we win this struggle is a question we all ask. I am optimistic. No other country
in the world compares to us; we are generous, compassionate, energetic,
entrepreneurial, fun loving, full of opportunity, open, and decent. We have faced
difficult challenges in the past and we will face up to this one. I have thought
about WWII, a time when I was a kid. We sat by the radio, we read the newspapers
everyday, we watched the newsreels. The war was far away. Now it is close. I
clearly remember President Roosevelt talking about the Four Freedoms and why the
war was being fought. I can still recite those freedoms: freedom of speech, free
dom of religion, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. Those freedoms are
real; they still define this country.
What of our opponent? Blood, hate, politics, religion, and envy sure make
a poison soup. The heart of their values stand starkly against ours. Freedom of
speech? No such concept. Freedom of religion? Only as far as you practice their
brand of state religion. Freedom from want? Want is their universal. Freedom from
fear? Fear is the terrorist stock in trade. Unraveling this potent enemy will take
time. Will we win? You can count on it.

her sibling who instantly took the cue
and alerted her older brother who actu
ally saved her life.

Across the
Librarian's
Desk
w
inston Churchill said that
we shape our buildings and
thereafter they shape us. Those
words have a special resonance
for me. This month marks the
end of almost eight years of
remodeling and renovating the
library. The intimacy I have had
with this building in those years
has indeed shaped me. I would
like to think the building is now
in as good a shape as it was when
I first came to work here twentyeight years ago. All departments
have been renovated, the ADA
code has been addressed, a new
elevator has been added, and new
boiler system has been installed.
On December 12, we will rededi
cate our refurbished Youth
Services room, named in memory
of Dr. Diego Redondo.
In many ways the past few
years have been like playing an
extended game of Snakes and
Ladders or an object lesson in the
herding of cats. Anyone who has
ever supervised a home remodel
ing project will understand exact
ly what I mean. I am now on a
first name basis with electricians,
plumbers, painters, carpenters,

Across the Librarian’s Desk (cont.)
cement cutters, brick layers, contractors and
architects. It has been my privilege to work with
four gifted and talented architects: Cecil
Gobeaux, Don Wrobleski, Karl Sugihara and
Scott Javore. A special thanks to interior designer Juele Blankenburg. It has been an interesting
odyssey. The library staff and Board could not
have been more helpful or supportive.
The foresight of Mayor Forrest and the Village
Trustees made all of our renovations possible.
These projects were carried out with the use of
Tax Increment Financing and did not cost the
taxpayer any money. The library incurred no
debt—and no new taxes.
Two remarks stand out in my memory that
shaped the mind-set of the entire project. They
stand out because of their easy wisdom. The
first was from our former Board President, Tom
Parfitt, when our ADA building audit had been
done by O’Donnell, Wickland, Pigozzi and
Peterson. We needed to change and alter many
things in our building to be ADA compliant;
frankly this would cost a lot of money and dis
turbed everyone on the board. We named our
Fiction Room for Tom because of what he said
that night, “This is not a set back, this is an
opportunity.” The second came when we were in
the design throes of the lobby renovation and
the architect was describing how a double-hung
door (which we now have) fully complied with
ADA because of the low pressure needed to
open it. Yvonne Sharpe got right to the point by

have done in the past eight years. Do the thing
right, in spirit as well as statute. Not the cheap
est, not the most expensive, we chose the right
way throughout the whole project.
Bill Seiden always kids me about the six
Family Day Parade 1st prizes I have in my
office. I am proud of them because they make it
clear how this library relates to and reflects the
community and residents. This library is part of
the community. We help kids learn to read, do
story hours, provide fiction books, answer refer
ence questions, teach research skills, help plan
science fair experiments, teach the Internet and
do puppet shows. We supply all our Deerfield
residents with their reading needs and informa
tion needs and provide lifetime learning. So, as
Winston Churchill said, we shape our buildings
and thereafter they shape us.
The bricks and mortar period is over. Now
the hard part begins—planning for the future.
The Board and staff will not waver from that
responsibility. It will take hard work and
courage to develop a vision for the future.
Technology, remote access, fiber optic networks,
distance learning, and computers will shape our
future. To have a vision and plan in place will
take study. The revitalized Youth Services
Department reflects our commitment to the
young people of Deerfield—our future—and the
room makes some promises. It promises chal
lenge and reward, service and wisdom, comfort
and warmth. Most of all, I pledge that it promis
es an entrance to the future for all our children.

Celebrates
70th
Birthday
n January 1,1927 Deerfield’s
first library was opened in
the Deerfield Grammar
School (now die site of the School
District #109 Administration Build
ing) and was furnished with 700
books donated or purchased with
funds contributed by the citizens of
Deerfield.
The library was moved tempo
rarily in 1955 to a converted store
at 758 Waukegan. In 1959 the li
brary shared space with the town hall
as a township library. As a village li
brary, a bond issue was approved to
build and equip our present build
ing, now 25 years old.

ies. One holds that technology is the only future
for libraries contrasted against a traditionalist past
that says—"no change, books only."
We hear so much today about computers, in
formation technology, Internet, cd-rom, that many
libraries have lost sight of what residents expect
to find when they come into a library. Certainly
we try to keep abreast of current technology—
we offer a number of online and offline reference

sources right now. Whether or not librar
ies will in fact ever become strictly infor
mation centers remains an open ques
tion. In the meantime technology and its
ancillaries have come to dominate think
ing and budgets in many libraries.
The speed of change in information
technology will cause many, many
changes in the format and style of deliv- "
ery of library service. My crystal ball does
not tell me what the final outcome will
be. There will be and are new ap
proaches to the age-old question that has
plagued librarians ever since the library
at Alexandria in Ptolemaic Egypt. “What's
a good book to read?" In fact, readers
advisory is becoming one of the most fas
cinating areas of library service and an
area of real growth and development of
library service. This also helps librarians
focus on what most people come into the
library to find—a good book.
Ironically the tools of the readers ad
visory trade are those of computers and
technology. These allow us to relate one
fiction book to another, produce lists of
”read-a-likes," recommend fiction from
obscure authors, and generally provide
a more indepth readers referral than we
ever could using only our memories and
our own reading tastes. Even the Internet
has become a great source for readers
advisory work.
The old fashioned way to learn about
new authors and titles is from another
reader. Our Summer Reading Club is
based on this idea and has been such a
success we are organizing a Winter
Reading Club to share new titles and to
introduce new readers to old titles.
Here is a short list of read-a-likes put
together by our staff:
If you liked Colin Powell's biography,
you'll like U.S. Grant’s Memoirs. If you
liked Primary Colors you’ll like All the
President's Men. If you liked The Last
Don. you'll like Honor Thy Father. If you
liked A Time To Kill, you'll like A Lesson
Before Dying. If you liked The Bean
Trees, you'll like Where the Heart Is. If
You liked Gods and Generals, you’ll like
KillerAngels. If you liked Fried Green To
matoes you’ll like Walking Across Egypt.
If you liked Midnight in the Garden of
Good and Evil, you’ll like A Death in White
Bear Lake. And finally if you liked Snow
Falling on Cedars. I know you’ll like En
emy Among Friends. Be sure to watch
for our Winter Reading Club.

Classes!
To use the catalog to best advan

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Bill Brashler
Tory Savage
Wednesday, March 13, 7:30 p.m. Per^feonal finance dynamo and Emmy Award
^^Vinning journalist, Terry Savage keynotes
our "Enrich Your Life" theme with her 1991
economic forecast. Her book, Terry Savage
Talks Money., the Common Sense Guide to
Money Matters, is "a reliable introduction to
the widening world of do-it-yourself money
management". It is one of the three best
selling financial books in America today. A
founding member of the Chicago Board
Options Exchange and registered invest
ment advisor, she is Financial Analyst on
WBBM-TV Ch. 2 evening news and her
"Money Talks" program leads in to "CBS
This Morning".
Tuesday, April 16, 7:30 p.m. "The
Mystery of the Living Writer" is our gift to
you for National Library Week. We wel
come award winning author (20 years in the
business), journalist and raconteur, Bill
Brashler. He has just completed his ninth
book, Murder in Wtiglcy Field, and will in
troduce us to his main character, Duffy
House. Duffy will be included in a new
series of mysteries. Brashler’s 1989 novel,
Traders is a "provocative portrait of the
Chicago Board of Trade." He is a lively
speaker with a store of anecdotes who will
share with us some advice about the craft
of writing, getting published and surviving
as an author.
ENRICH YOUR LIFE.....ATDEERFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY
With this spring newsletter, we introduce the new Deerfield
Library logo. The logo, seen above on our new masthead,
depicts a book whose spine and pages form the shape of a lotus
blossom, the ancient symbol of self-creation. This identifying
symbol, represents self enrichment through knowledge.
The Library of Congress has designated 1991 the Year of
the Lifetime Reader, so we celebrate LIFE and the connection
between our materials and services and your daily lives. With
our collections, we answer questions: What to name the new
baby? A definition of ulcers and recipes for this condition?
^^low to take minutes at a business meeting? How to spell a
^Bvord, plan a wedding, make a business plan, give a value to
Grandma’s vase, string some beads?
We help you to learn, grow, solve, laugh, feel and cope.
We enrich your life!

WINGS
A year ago I wrote in this column about
the self-collapse of the Berlin Wall and the
effect world-wide peace would have on
genre fiction. I wrote a year too early. The
war in the Middle East and the repression
in Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia have a
greater potential for disaster than any we
have faced as a nation in the last forty years.
I back our troops in the Persian Gulf and
President Bush. I also respect those of us
who choose to oppose this war. The U.S.
Constitution guarantees freedom of
speech-enabling citizens to voice opposi
tion to governmental policy. About this
right we should be resolute and justly
proud. As a former Staff Sergeant in the 8th
Infantry Division, I have strong feelings
about the safety of our boys overseas. A
concern closer to home are the racial and
ethnic epithets that are heard to describe
Middle Eastern peoples. These
stereotypes must be rejected by all of us.
I am impressed with President Bush
when he speaks of a new world order
emerging from this catastrophe. Hopefully,
this will mean: a permanent rule of Inter
national Law, a rejection of terrorism as an
element of politics, a refusal to arm any
tyrant with modern weapons, and an
American foreign policy that rises above
the failed concepts that have equated our
friends as our enemy’s enemy.
Can the epic Spring of 1990 still bloom
into a world of peace?
The book I am recommending this
month is The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil,
Money, and Power by Daniel Yergin.
Awash in a sea of oil this timely history
traces man’s grasping for oil: the per
sonalities, nationalism, and the drive for
power and wealth that have created and
exacerbated our current dilemma.

�BENN AND SABATO SEEK
RE-ELECTION
F.YA.
■ Music Listening Area: The library has
two new listening stations in the Fic
tion/Quiet Room. You can now hear
your favorite music on cassette or
compact disc or listen to books on tape
in the library. To do this, select your
audio, check it out, ask for head
phones, and leave an i.d. at the
Circulation Desk.
On April, 2 a local election will be held
for two Deerfield library trustee positions.
^|wo incumbents, Sue Benn and Tony
^^abato, will run for re-election. Both 20
year residents of Deerfield, they have each
had a number of years’ experience at board
posts. Sabato has been board treasurer and
Benn has served on committees of the
seven member board. Also active in other
Deerfield community activities, they are
strong users and supporters of the library.
The Library Board meets monthly, and
elected members each serve six year terms.
Their responsibilities include determining
basic library policy, delegating administrative authority to the director, and
overseeing all major expenditures.
■ It now costs 30 cents to reserve a Deer
field book, due to the rise in postal
rates; you are notified by mail when
your book is in. When books are re
quested from other libraries, there is
no charge; you are notified by
telephone.
■ Missing books cause the library lots of
problems. The book you don(t return
is the book the next person needs.
TRUTH STRANGER
THAN FICTION?
■ It is a true axiom that when times get
tough, people use the library more.
The first month of 1991, adult refer
ence questions increased 19 9c from
last year. January 1990: 1,716 ques
tions answered. January 1991:2,047.
The library has just received a new fic
tion book about air combat in the Persian
Gulf, First Air by Michael Skinner. Skinner,
a former CNN writer, has published a tech
no thriller whose images beam at us on the
evening news. The political scenario is dif
ferent, but its depiction of modern war, as
it could happen (already has) in the Persian
is eerily coincidental.
■ Friends of the Library group is becom
ing active and vital. For $5 a year you
can join. Applications at front desk.
AND THE WINNERS IN
THE CHILDREN’S
CATEGORY ARE...
CALLING OUT OF TOWN?
Deerfield Library has always housed a
variety of current out of town (USA)
telephone directories. Further, in the past
each North Suburban Public Library has
"specialized" in a different state, in a
cooperative sharing project. (Deerfield’s
"state" is Arizona.)
Now, public libraries are no longer able
to receive a large variety of free city
telephone books. Since costs will be levied,
we are placing a survey form on each
telephone directory to determine use pat
terns and the most needed phone books.
Please continue to ask the reference
librarians for assistance with the out of
state directories. The telephone directory
issue has become a very complicated one
for libraries.
