Director
VA
The Deerfield Library Board
has formed a search
committee to identify a new
director for the Deerfield
Public Library. The committee
is inviting both applications
and nominations for the
position, which requires a
master’s degree in library
science from an ALA-accredited
institution, successful experi
ence in library administration,
excellent interpersonal skills,
personal integrity and a
commitment to public service.
To receive full consideration,
nominations and applications,
with salary history, should be
received no later than April 15
and should be sent to Ken
Abosch, Chair, Search
Committee, Deerfield Public
Library, 920 Waukegan,
Deerfield, IL 60015 or
kabosch@deerfieldlibrary.org
Dedicated to the fullest meeting
of the needs of his community
of library users and fellow
professionals, Jack Hicks is one
of those few masters...visionary,
imaginative, innovative,
effective- Webster’s infinite
list of appropriate adjectives is
insufficient to describe this true
master among us.
Administrative Librarian
to Retire in June
Jack Hicks, Deerfield resident and professional librarian at the
Deerfield Library for 34 years, will retire this June. Prior to his
appointment to Library Director 18 years ago, he was head of
the Reference Department.
It has been a long road of dedicated professional service for
Hicks, whose top priority all these years has been to serve the
Deerfield community by overseeing a library of which Deerfield
residents could be proud. In 1972 the library had a collection of
30,000 books. Today there are 185,000 volumes and a world of new formats and information
technology. Over the years, Hicks remodeled, renovated and managed to make best use of avail
able space so that patrons would enjoy a serviceable and attractive environment. Our remodeled
(in 1995) separate Fiction room is a testament to Hicks’s art and his devotion to books.
With honesty, sensitivity, integrity and creativity, Hicks has brought the library to the national
spotlight as one of the finest and most innovative libraries in the country. As a reference librari
an he left no stone unturned in researching for patrons. Serving the community, he opened the
library for numerous community events, not the least of which was serving 82 gallons of free
lemonade in the library every year for Family Days. In addition to repairing the building and the
computers, constructing a puppet theater and writing its scripts, Hicks provided the first online
information retrieval system in the north suburban area and instructed other communities in its
use. He instituted “librarian in the lobby” one day each month, listened to the community’s
wants and needs and responded to them. He had a vision for a 21st century library for Deerfield,
but unfortunately that failed in the recent referendum. He has always put fiscal responsibility
first, giving taxpayers the most for their tax dollar. Deerfield Library has more books per capita
than any other north suburban library, while remaining the lowest taxing body in the Village.
He is greatly admired by professional colleagues nationwide, board and staff. No question has
been too small, no hours too long, no challenge too tough. Robert R. McClarren, a Deerfield
resident and Director Emeritus of the North Suburban Library System, said, “Dedicated to the
fullest meeting of the needs of his community of library users and fellow professionals, Jack
Hicks is one of those few masters...visionary, imaginative, innovative, effective-Webster’s
infinite list of appropriate adjectives is insufficient to describe this true master among us.”

Starting Time Changes
for Board Meetings
The Deerfield Library Board of
Trustees has been holding open

staff will provide written
acknowledgement of gifts if
requested. For details, you may
pick up a copy of the gift policy

Mayor Richard M. Daley Praises Libraries
Mayor Daley recently addressed the American Library Association’s annual conference in
Chicago. He said that in 2005 alone, Chicago had seven libraries under construction and 45
built or renovated in the past 16 years. He credits the taxpayers for allowing him to invest in
libraries in the city and increase taxes for libraries.
Libraries are important to the mayor. He said: “I look at libraries as a learning experience.
They are part of the education system. It was never separate. When I became mayor, I said
This is part and parcel of our educational commitment.’ We need libraries. They are just as
important as building police
stations. We are building fire
stations, senior citizen buildings,
schools and libraries because they
become anchors of a community.
&SG?
When somebody sees a library
being built in their community,
what they see is confidence in the
community. The library becomes
part of our economic develop
ment and that’s the key. All of a
sudden new homes go in. People
Deerfield Nursery School students tour the library
and enjoy listening to a story
say, ‘We’re now invested in the
community...
Google Will Charge for Extra Service
