Are You a Poet and You Don’t Know It?
Rosemaiy Sazonoff Third Annual Writing Contest
January 4- February 16.
This year the Rosemary Sazonoff Creative Writing Contest focuses
specifically on poetry. There will be one contest for adults and #
a separate contest for children, grades 2-8. Rosemary
Sazonoff was a library trustee for twenty years, a writer,
public activist and lifetime library user. The contest is
held in her memory.
The poetry contest encourages your creativity: memories, present thoughts or future think
ing. There’s no need to think in rhyme; non-rhyming poems may have an even better
chance of winning. You can try haiku, narrative (story poem), song lyrics (ok to rhyme),
dramatic dialogue, or dedicate your poem to someone or something.
Need help with this poetry writing? We will have two workshops to jump start your cre
ativity! If you plan to attend, please reserve your space!
□ Saturday, January 9,9:30 a.m.to noon. Poetry writing workshop for adults, from
junior high age on up. This will be a hands-on exercise and exposition on lyric, narrative
and dramatic forms of poetry.
E3 Saturday, January 16,9:30 a.m. to noon. A poetry workshop for children, grades 2-5.
Hands-on exercises including image builders, five senses, colors, personal expression.
Workshop leader is Cynthia Gallaher, author of a new book of Chicago poems,
Swimmer’s Prayer. She has led workshops in schools, libraries and community centers.
There are monetary prizes for the top three winners of the childrens’ and the adults’ con
test. Winners will read from their work at the adult party at 2 p.m. Sunday, February 28
and the children’s party at 7 p.m. February 25. Pick up entry forms at Adult Reference or

□ Marie Ward Reichelt’s History of

Book Company for $24.50 plus shipping.
The book originally written in 1928 for
Deerfield Post 738 American Legion, had

You can call 945-3372 from your TTY and
conversations are typed from one machine

□ Why do we we purchase more abridged
than unabridged books on tape? Many
patrons don’t want to carry 12 or more cas
settes when they ride the train or jog. Also,
fewer popular titles are available in
unabridged format and are costly. We are
increasing our unabridged collection but if
we do not own we can arrange an interli
brary loan for you. Ask a librarian!

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

Classes will be held Saturdays at
10 a.m. on January 13, January 27,

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

nition of words and abbreviations.

ASAP, Magazine Index Plus,
Health Index Plus—InfoTrac in
dexes periodical articles by subject
and includes the full text of some

�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.
—--- Jack A!fn Hicks. Administrative Librarian

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
