“What are you going to do
with the east room now that
the fiction has been moved out? Its
so empty!” (The room presently
houses videos, music CD's and cas-
D
settes, books on tape and biogra
phies.)
A top priority of Library Direc
tor Jack Hicks and the Library
Board's building committee is a re
organization of the entire main floor,
part of a five year renovation plan.
It will take some time and patience
to insure quality renovation which
makes best use of available library
space. The Board is presently issu
ing requests for proposal to several
architects familiar with library
needs.
The Deerfield Library building
is 23 years old and it has been nec
essary to examine needs and reno
vate one area at a time. Library ma
terials and services have changed in
substance and format in 25 years.
The library currently offers com
puter technology, compact discs,
video and audio cassettes which did
not exist in years past. The accelera
tion of technology also has future
implications. The library was de
signed to shelve 65,000 volumes and
is currently housing 155,000 vol
umes. With anticipated renovation
of existing space, the library should
be able to shelve almost 200,000
volumes yet return openness and
grace to our public space.
Library construction last year in
cluded a new, large elevator, front
entrance doors, ramps, accessible

bathrooms, and lowered drinking
fountains and telephones to comply
with Americans With Disabilities
Act. Then came restructuring of
lower level space to provide a new
fiction room. The room, completed
in fall, now provides 37% more pub
lic floor space in a quiet, newly fur
nished, pleasing atmosphere.

Across the Librarian’s Desk
Cynics say there is no history and skeptics say that
if we do not learn from history, we are doomed to
repeat it. I would hope—living in the midst of the infor
mation age—that we can learn and profit from the
knowledge that is so close at hand. As we enter 1996
it appears to me that we as a people are poised on the
edge of a new age of isolationism. I mean this both as
an element of foreign policy and as a general alien
ation between us as individuals. The new-isolationists seem all too willing to replace Lindbergh, Father
Coughlin, the America Firsters and Senator Borah as
the next breed of American Know-Nothings. Maybe
the old term “Mugwump" should be revived. I think we
should look with great skepticism when politicians tell
us we should enter a new era of America First.
What we can do to reduce the distance between
us as individuals is up to us as individuals, but the for
eign policy posture of the country is a national decision
we should all be focused on. How this has happened
at a time of unprecedented global economy is beyond
me. In no way should the United States be involved in
military adventurism or act as policeman to the world;
neither can we sink our heads into the mud. We should
have learned the lessons of isolationism fifty years
ago—that wrongheaded idealists can take a noble
idea and pervert it into an enfeebled and discredited

flmi| Simon Booh Fund
rj he Amy Simon Book Fund
was started in August, 1991.
Since then the Fund has been
responsible for the purchase of over
200 books...books that the Deerfield
Library would not otherwise have
had the funds to purchase.
Amy Simon attended South Park
School, Caruso Junior High, Deerfield
High School, class of’84, and gradu
ated from Cornell University in
1988. She was a voracious reader of
all kinds of books and was a great
student of foreign languages. Amy
was fluent in French, German and
Russian by the time she graduated
college and she learned Arabic while
serving in the Peace Corps in Mo
rocco. After returning home from
Morocco in 1991, she was killed in
an automobile accident in Utah.
This Book Fund was established
to reflect Amy’s interest in reading
and foreign languages as well as her
interest in learning about people of
the world. The Fund was recently
expanded to include purchase of
books about women in history. In
side each book purchased is a label
noting that it is part of this collec
tion. This Fund has been made pos
sible by the ongoing contributions
from Amy s family and friends. New
titles are constantly being added.

legacy—but it seems too few of us remember.
I have on my desk an exceptional book about
a large group of ordinary Americans who did ex
traordinary things. It is Dauntless, the history of
the 99th Infantry Division during WWII. The 99th
was raised up with an incredible mixed collection

these Gl’s learned all the skills and horrors of war,
exhibited enormous courage and rendered many
sacrifices. They learned about life. Their life expectancy in a combat infantry line company was
extremely short. Company C, 395th Infantry Regiment of the 99th Division, for instance, started its
war with 193 men who trained together in the
American South; by May 1945, only20of the original men were still with the unit.

Yes, these men learned a lot about war in the
months they spent in combat in Europe but the
overall lesson is stated clearly in the Epilogue of
the combat history of Company C. Wesley Peyton
writes, “In the long view of fifty years, though, it is

| mere spectators to history. They were history, jj
| They helped destroy a truly evil regime which had jj
it amassed sufficient power would have not hesi- ij
j tated to subjugate and enslave the rest of the
! world. That Germany fifty years after May 8,1945 !l
! is at peace, with itself and its European neigh- j
bors, is Charlie Company’s legacy. The men of j
Company C, 395th Infantry Regiment, 99th Divi- j
sion—and millions like them—fought and gained §
a peace that has endured. They deserve to be
remembered for it."

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.
