Our New Library Catalog and
How to Use It.
�Across the Librarian’s Desk
This Library was founded seventyfive years ago when Mrs. F.W.
Russo opened the Library doors
for the first time on New Years
Day, January 1927. Since that
time the Library has been housed
in the Deerfield Grammar School,
next into a storefront by the old
Callner Building, then stored away in a number of base
ments and garages to be shelved in the Township build
ing, and since 1971 here at the present location. The
longevity and success of this library has been the result
of the vision, hard work and dedication of many people
over a long period of time truly a collaborative effort.
The present building was built in response to a study
done by the Deerfield League of Women Voters in 1967
which found the old library seriously deficient. In seven
ty-five years there have been five Directors: Mrs. Russo,
Mrs. Wolff, Mrs. Haney, Mrs. Whetstone and me.
There have been many defining moments since that New
Years Day in 1927 for the world, nation, Village, and the
Library. Lindbergh flew the Atlantic that year and dra
matic change has been a way of life ever since. The
library as an institution has changed more in the past fif
teen years than it did in the past one hundred and fifty.
In the span of my library career the library universe has
grown globally from the size of a single room to a reach
that encompasses every part of the world. With comput
ers, libraries moved from the 19th Century to the 21st
Century in a single leap. Library services, formats, mate
rials, and techniques have all changed, and will continue
to change. What has not changed for libraries is that at
the heart of everything we do are the residents we serve.
Many pundits have predicted the demise or death of the
library as an institution with the advent of computers
and the Internet. Our statistics, numbers, and usage here
in Deerfield do not lend that theory much credence. Our
percentage of resident cardholders, our circulation and
our reference question totals show an active clientele,
while statistics from the Youth Services Department
show a growing service population. Ttoo flourishing
mega-bookstores in our community validate this as a
neighborhood of readers. The Library has kept abreast of
current computer technology tools of access, Internet
connections, and web-based services being only some of
our services. E-books and downloaded services are just
around the corner. But books will still remain crucial to
our long range mission. Why do I say that?
Recent events like the Enron scandal with the loss of
computer data, the use of computers by terrorists, the
destruction of records in the World Trade Tower disaster,
the general impermanence and volatility of computer
stored data, the disappearance of the National Park
Service website make it clear that permanent paper
records and books still have a very important role to play
in history and in society. Until e-books are cheaper,
more inclusive in the titles they purvey, and a lot easier
to use, they will not replace books. The major break
through for e-books will come when students download
all their text and work books in a single cheap, simple,
device and throw away their backpacks. Even when that
day dawns, as I am sure it will, books will remain viable
because there is no profit to be made from converting
old books into new technology just ask the failed
Netlibrary. As everyone knows in this techno-age, profits
drive products and if libraries do not preserve our soci
ety’s culture no one else will. Remember, books were the
first solid-state, random-access memory device and
remain effective; they also don’t fail when the lights go
out.
So even at the advancing age of seventy-five the Library
stands ready to move into the 21st Century. Our staff is
trained and prepared, the formats and media are chang
ing daily, the Library will respond as it has always
responded; with hands-on personal service for our resi
dents in a professional, intelligent and literary manner.
It has been an exciting seventy-five years for libraries
and the next seventy-five will be even more so. Libraries
really are the leaders in information age technology.
Come on in and check us out!

Projects and
Progress
A report on the year 2000,
Deerfield Library’s Year of
Renewal
During our millennium year we strived to
become a focus in our community, where ren
ovation was the word for the whole Village.
We were involved with bricks and mortar,
computers, landscaping and elevators and still
managed to add over 10,000 books, videos,
audio cassettes and... new this year DVD’s
and books on CD... and to serve all your
information needs.
Our Community where hundreds took passports
behind the scenes to view each department;
music, beanie baby prizes and food were pop
ular! The Bristol Renaissance Faire visited us
in May, taking us back to the 16th century as
Queen Elizabeth Tudor knighted the children,
townspeople picnicked on the lawn and music
and dancing provided a leisurely contrast to
our 21st century.
Programs
We held 61 adult programs, including several
co-partnered with the Deerfield Fine Arts
Commission, Deerfield Area Historical Society,
U.S. Foreign Policy Association and North
Suburban Library System. We offered income
tax assistance, flu shots, voter registration,
free July 4 lemonade, Ravinia passes, the 4th
annual Rosemary Sazonoff Creative Writing
Contest, 15 classes on using the Internet and
monthly Librarian in the Lobby, our “in person
suggestion box”.
We served Deerfield schools and students
with our annual Student Government Day,
where we learn along with our teens, and with
library instruction for junior high students.
Youth Services Reading Roundup has been a
rousing success for 2-8th graders, and
Exploring Art Through Literature workshops
are the talk of the town. Crafts and storytime
are popular Family Fun Night activities.
Library visitors from the Chinese Academy of
Sciences said, “If only we had something like
this for our children in China!”
Other projects finalized this year are lobby
and entrance remodeling to meet ADA stan
dards, rebuilding of an elevator, and rebuilding of the west garden (Youth Services area),
Cell phone use was banned to make the library
more peaceful
Progress
Plans for the future include a revamp of the
AV room to become more accessible and
attractive: new lights and proper shelving for
books on tape, videos and DVD’s
Jeff Blumenthal was appointed to the
library board to replace Yvonne Sharpe in
2000. Bill Seiden also served in 2000 as presi
dent of the North Suburban Library System. In
2001 Bill Seiden and John Anderson will leave
their Deerfield Library board positions and a
2001 spring board election will bring changes
to the makekup of the library board. We were
saddened at the death this year of Tony
Sabato who retired from the library board in
1997 after 19 years of service.
During 2000, Glenn Poch was selected Head
of Technical Service and spearheaded new
computer installation. Better equipment and
response time has brought us up to speed for
the 21st century and we shall continue to
enhance our collection, and provide valuable
service to our community.
Projects
Readers of all ages pledged to read 100
books in 2000 in our Century Readers Club. By
December, 5000 books were read and a
reception was held for those ach.ev.ng this
admirable feat. Read Around the World clubs
