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.

Anyone who has ever been in my office
knows 1 am a Civil War buff; the walls are
covered with prints of battles, significant
events and personalities of that war. I come
by my hobby by inheritance: two of my
great-grandfathers served with the
Union—one in the Ohio 2d Heavy Artil
lery7, the other with the 9th Illinois. My in
terest has been rekindled lately because of
the excellent exhibit, “A House Divided,"
currently on display at the Chicago
Historical Society, and the release of the
film "Glory" about the 54th Massachusetts
Infantry. The latter has all been made more
appropriate because February was Black
History Month.
We have many book titles dealing with
the Civil War, fiction and non-fiction. The
classic combat novel of the Civil War The
Red Badge of Courage, sums up the pro
blem with most of the historical fiction of
that period. It was written by a non
participant after the fact. I am a firm
believer in historical fiction. Dicken's por
trait of 19th century London will always be
the authoritative one no matter how many
revisionist history books are written today.
From Here to Eternity by James Jones and
Norman Mailer’s Naked and the Dead
define World War II for us. It is different
with our Civil War; the best materials that
we have are the diaries, letters, battlefield
art, Mathew Brady photographs, the
museums and their memorabilia.
Gone for a Soldier, Echo of a Distant
Drum, and Battles and Leaders ofthe Civil
War are all good examples of first person
narratives. The Women and the Crisis,
Lee’s Lieutenants, and The Twentieth
Maine are typical of the fine post-war non
fiction that we have. As for historical
fiction, I would recommend Jubilee, Killer
Angels, Across Five Aprils, Unto this Hour,
and Gone With the Wind. I still enjoy Carl
Sandburg’s biographies of Lincoln and
Mary Chesnut’s diaries.
The Civil War has often been called a fire
bell in the night—an exciting time in
American history. What could be more ex
citing than the events in Eastern Europe and
the Soviet Union for the past six months?
The momentous changes we have seen hap
pen are incredible. I am sure people will
read about this thrilling era in history books
a hundred years from now. But until then
I’ll stick with my two-volume edition of The
Gettysburg Papers.

Martha Sloan
Deerfield Welcomes
New Librarian
Deerfield resident Martha Sloan has been
appointed new Reader Services Librarian
at the Deerfield Public Library. Mrs. Sloan
was most recently a reference librarian at
Northbrook Public Library. The Deerfield
position was vacated by Peggy McCabe
who retired last summer.
Mrs. Sloan’s major duties will include
selecting and promoting fiction, literary
criticism, and music, and working on
community outreach and the Blind and
Physically Handicapped program. She will
also serve at the Reference Desk half time.
Mrs. Sloan holds a BA degree from
Smith College with majors in history and
English, an MA degree in history from
Yale University and a Masters in Library
Science from Rosary College. Besides
Northbrook, she worked at Mt. Prospect
Library Reference Department and was
Financial Services Librarian at the Bank
Administration Institute. In earlier years,
she was a Program Specialist for the U.S.
Government’s Department of Labor in
Washington, D.C.
A native of Cleveland, Ohio, Mrs. Sloan
