1, Number 2
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.)
Young children can L
search the library's
j
holdings on a specialized “kids' computer
catalog” in the Youth
Services department.

�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.
Our local author and Deerfield neigh
bor Lowell Komie has received the
prestigious Carl Sandburg Award for fic
tion for his The Lawyer's Chamber and
Other Stories from the Friends of the Chi
cago Public Library.

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.

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

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

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.

American traditions—this is truly a won

The excitement of the moment got me to

watched this historic moment unfold. Not

books. Some of
them, like Reagan
actually have left us with an extensive
written history. But do they tell us any
thing, or do they just record the events,
whitewash their consciences, or knock old
adversaries? Lyndon Baines Johnson
wrote a number of unreflective books.
Today, Johnson is quite in vogue for
revisionist historians to defend or destroy.
What really went through Johnson's
thoughts as Viet Nam— his personal
Armageddon— played itself out
is unrecorded.
Harry Truman wrote prolifically, but not
really for public consumption. As fond of
his writings as I am—for his knowledge of
history, his acute observations, his intelli
gence and grasp of a situation—he puts an

describes, especially when it comes to peo
ple he didn't like. Smart man, though.

Vol. 9, No. 1
New Computer System on PIorizon
The library computer catalog consortium
(including Deerfield, Skokie, Morton Grove
and Waukegan), is in the final phase of selecting a new computer system. The new system
will offer increased access to materials, higher
speed, greater reliability and features only
dreamed of when our system was purchased
nine years ago.
Library Patrons Approve
Car system has served us well, but software
and hardware cannot be enhanced to take
advantage of technological advances,
A system will be selected by December, with
conversion and installation to be done in
summer of 1994. The finalist systems offer
ease of use, intuitive functions, and a high
degree of user friendliness.
Thanks for your patience
In a user satisfaction survey conducted
during the summer by Miriam Pollack, of
the North Suburban Library System, the
Deerfield Library received a 97% approval
rating. The range of comments on services
and staff was interesting and valuable.
The data will be used in our long range
planning this winter.
The library is in the final stages of renova
tion to meet requirements of the Ameri
cans with Disabilities Act. This will
include, but not be limited to TDD, self
opening front doors, handicapped
restrooms, handicapped accessible
elevator, lowered drinking fountains,
and outside ramps.
Your continued comments and suggestions
are welcomed; we have a suggestion box at
the front desk, and Librarian in the Lobby
Mondays 7-9 p.m December 6, January 10
and February 7. At that time you may meet
informally with one of our board members
and with Director Jack Hicks.
Due to renovation, we have lost the down
stairs meeting room for an indefinite
period. Since meeting room space is now
restricted, community organizations are
advised to plan meetings in other loca
tions. We also have had to temporarily
restrict lending of videos as storage space
was reduced by elevator construction.
News to note:
Please bring your library card with you to
check out books! If you do not have your
library card with you, it will cost a quarter
to check out books, effective January 1,
1994. With no library card, you also need
to have i.d. and have your name in our
computer system.
Library users who purchase a non resident
card: be aware! The State Legislature has
passed a Bill that restricts use of non
resident fee cards to the library where
they are purchased, beginning January 1.
Our former costly and unreliable boilers
have been replaced by a new computer
controlled heating system. We look for
ward to a toasty winter in the library.
It’s tax season again...
Yes: Free income tax advice will be
offered at the library Tuesdays and
Fridays, 1-4 p.m. February 1-April 15.
This program is sponsored by the IRS
and the AARP.
No: The Deerfield Library is no longer
able to provide income tax forms. We
are not federally funded and it has gone
beyond our ability to handle.

History at Loyola University, Chicago, observes
that women of 200 years ago struggled with
issues similar to those of today.
Librarian’s Desk (Continued from v. v
Richard Nixon is probably our only president
to respect reading and writing—he has given
us astonishing insights at events he partici
pated in. But along with every one else at the
time of Watergate, I was struck by how little I
knew of Richard Nixon, the man. He seems
today a shrouded picture of Dorian Gray.
President Bush has written, but his wife's

Reagan's wife has written, Gerald Ford has
written, Jimmy Carter has written. I don't

of their own administration. Can we expect
Clinton to do better?
Also, clouding the issue is the ghost writer.
Were any presidents good writers? Read
Lincoln's speeches if you doubt his greatness.
If you think Roosevelt's writings were ghost
written, look at the handwritten corrections on
his "Day of Infamy" speech and you see great
writing. But if you want to read fantastic mem
oirs, read Ulysses Grant. He speaks from the
page like a hybrid of Lyndon Johnson and
James Herriot. Illinois' Grant is a wonderful
writer with charm, grace, wit, toughness and a

grasp of everything that was going on around
him. However, criticisms of his Presidency say
the same things about him—in reverse. His
book was a best seller.
Will Bill Clinton write the definitve account of
what happened in Washington when Israel
and the PLO made peace? Probably not, but
that doesn't diminish the moment. That
account will be written sometime soon, and
you will find it here in your library.

collection of over 30 books ranging from
serious manuals to fire engine books.

read stories in the library to Deerfield
children. More programs and new books

BROWSING
at the DEERFIELD
PUBLIC LIBRARY
920 Waukegan Rd.
Deerfield, IL 60015
Winter 1989-90
Vol. 5, No. 1
the
e *De4h
A hearty welcome to the new North
Suburban Library System Director, Sarah
Long. Sarah has had an interesting library
career, including a stint in England. She
comes to our local system from Portland,
Oregon. Sarah is quite well known in the
world of libraries, and we are fortunate to
have her as head of NSLS. I wish her all the
best in the coming years. The nice part is
that she is a Deerfield resident.
The book I am recommending this month
is Among Schoolchildren, by Tracy Kidder.
When you think of fine creative writing,
fiction is usually what comes to mind; but
I feel that some of our most creative writers
today are writing in the non-fiction tradi
tion. Four are John McPhee, Richard
Rhodes, Paul Fussell, and Tracy Kidder.
Together they have written nearly forty
books—all of them fine, creative writingall fascinating.
Some of the recent titles are: John
McPhee—Outcroppings, Rising from the
Plains, Heirs of General Practice. Richard
Rhodes—Farm, The Making ofthe Atomic
Bomb, The Last Safari. Paul Fussell—
Wartime, Thank God for the Atom Bomb,
and interestingly, a book about my all-time
favorite author, Siegfried Sasson’s Long
Journey. Tracy Kidder has back-to-back
best sellers in his books House and Among
Schoolchildren. These are outstanding
books.
Among Schoolchildren traces the yearly
accomplishments of a very uncommon
grade school teacher as she practices her
skill among seriously deprived fifth
graders. Kidder captures the daily
classroom life, the interaction of the
children and the caring that the teacher,
Mrs. Zajac, brings to each child and each
day. The Chicago Tribune described this
book as “stirring hearts and minds...in the
necessary, caring heroism of a dedicated
fifth grade teacher.
This genre of creative non-fiction is not
a new phenomenom, but these writers bring
enormous talent, style, and craft to bear on
a type of book too frequently overlooked.
I urge you to read one of their books.
Talking Books for the Reading Disabled
The Deerfield Library participates in the
Library of Congress National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped. This is a free national library
program for visually and physically
handicapped persons who are unable to
read or use standard printed material
because of blindness, visual disabilities, or
physical limitations.
The National Library Service produces
full length books and magazines on recorded disc and cassette and in braille. Special
cassette and record players are provided in
order to listen to these books. Persons who
fill out an application (signature from a certifying authority verifying their physical
difficulty is required by law) may enroll in
Deerfield’s talking book program. They
may borrow from a variety of 27,000 titles
on disc and tape, as well as over 8,000 titles
from the regional braille library.
The options include popular interest
books, best sellers, classics, mysteries,
westerns, romances, poetry, histories,
biographies, music instruction, children’s
books, and foreign language materials. Participants may also subscribe to more than
70 popular magazines in recorded format
and in braille. They may request specific
books, or may select from a variety of
catalogs. Participation in the program ineludes free, no time limit, use of the special
special playback equipment and a free talking book catalog mailed to the residence six
times a year. All of these special books on
tape go through the mail postage free.
Headphones and pillow phones are also
available.
To apply for this service, contact a
librarian or Nancy Faulk at the Circulation
Desk.
Deerfield Library’s regional source for
these materials is the Suburban Audio
Visual Service of The North Suburban
Library System.
In addition to this special National
Library Service, the library has a substantial large print book collection, and an
increasing number of audio cassette books
on tape that can be played on regular
cassette tape players. These in-house collections, of course, require only your Deerfield Library card,

Oast
As the decade comes to a close, and holi
day time brings us thoughts of good will to
all, we would like to express publicly our
thanks to some Deerfield residents who
have given of themselves and worked hard,
(some behind the scenes), to bring better
library service and/or programs to the com
munity. Our 1989 library angels are: Bill
Bixby, Virginia & Nick Carter, Tom
Jester, Richard Lyon, Bob McClarren, and
Steve Neulander.
Also a note of thanks and a happy new^B
year to our Library Board of Trustees who
work long hours with no pay for the benefit
of Deerfield Public Library. Their names
are on page four.
�Staff Changes
Rick Bean, reference librarian at Deer
field Library for over four years, has left
become a reference librarian at DePaul
niversity. Mr. Bean, well known to many
Deerfield patrons, accomplished a number
of professional duties at the library includ
ing valuable assistance in the preparation of
the online catalog for public use, a Business
Resources Index and public relations
activities.
Two librarians, Cindy Wargo and Karen
Hicks (no relation to Jack) are now sharing
the position vacated by Mr. Bean. Cindy
and Karen are not new to the library as they
formerly shared part time weekend posts at
the reference desk. Both are Deerfield
residents, hold masters’ degrees in library
science from the University of Illinois, are
married and have young children. Cindy’s
past experience includes 11 years at
Evanston Public Library where she was
Head of the Reference Department. Karen
was a librarian at Maine West High School
in Des Plaines for six years, and reference
librarian at Cook Memorial Public Library
for 2Vi years.
Tom Sherman, newly appointed Head of
Building Maintenance, was a page at the
Deerfield Library for 6 months prior to his
appointment. His diverse background inudes gardening at the Botanic Gardens,
>use painting, and selling at Kroch’s and
Brentano’s bookstore.

New Software Programs
The Youth Services Department has
some new software available for patron use
on the Apple HE. Among the programs are:
“Curious George Goes Shopping” —
Children become involved in helping
George find various items on his shopping
list.
“Math Rabbit” — As they play circus
games, children develop skills in counting,
adding, subtracting and recognizing
number relationships.
“Where in Europe Is Carmen San
Diego?” — Older children will enjoy track
ing down a thief in one of 34 European
countries.
Saturday Stories
Kindergarteners and first graders are in
vited to the popular Saturday Stories which
will be held December 16 and February 10.
These sessions are similar to the preschool
storyhours but feature longer, more com
plicated stories and often a short craft
project. There will be separate registration
for each program, beginning one week
prior to the program.
An additional 100 people per month
are taking advantage of reciprocal borrow
ing arrangements of the North Suburban
Libraries. (This permits members of other
communities to borrow Deerfield books—
and vice versa.) They’re borrowing at a
rapid rate. Monthly borrowing for all items
at Deerfield continues to average a steady
22,000.
Literally hundreds of junior high
students visited the library for instruc
tion/orientation in Fall.
The library’s Harold Gershowitz
November program elicited the following
response from an attendee “This was a
great moment for me. Moment means the
hour plus spent here.’’ The charismatic
local author of best seller “Remember This
Dream” donates all proceeds from his book
to the Holocaust Memorial Fund. The book
was 10 years in the writing, in long hand
on a legal pad during weekends.
Need a tax write off? The Youth Ser
vices Department needs used blenders,
computers, and record players in working
condition for future programs.
