Across the
Librarian’s
Desk
rP he plight of the deer in
A Lincolnshire is an emotional
pressure cooker. The issue is a lot
more involved than the wrong
animal in the wrong place at the
wrong time, or the sanctity of the
life of a single deer; it reaches
into the deepest recesses of our
ecological system and our con
science. The problem is more
complicated than either side of
the protagonists seem to grasp or
admit. The shooters’ solution is
both cruel and simplistic because
it does nothing to permanently
change the ecosystem—the deer
will simply return. The anthropo
morphism of these deer is proba
bly an even greater sin because
these animals are not little people
running around in furs and they
deserve an environmentally
sounder and a much more digni
fied defense.
I understand and sympathize
with both sides of the quandary.
Everyone agrees that this is one
of the most beautiful animals on
earth; but it is felt to be a menace
to safety, health and gardens by
one faction and the living incar
nation of wild nature by the

other. As a person who has been treated for Lyme
disease, I get a bit fearful because the disease con
cern is seldom even mentioned. What absolutely
stuns me is the level of emotional froth both sides
can chum up when there is a far greater travesty
right in the middle of the controversy; in fact, a
river runs through it. The Des Plaines River. If you
don’t know the Des Plaines, a one day paddle by
canoe from north of Libeityville to Deerfield Road
will delight and amaze you; or try any of the
extensive trails.
One hundred years ago a kid could swim and
fish in that river. It was a pristine, crystal clear
stream; home to beaver, otter, mink, pike. Eels,
who were born in the Sargasso Sea, migrated
there to spend their summers. Deer, bear, cari
bou, elk, badgers, wolverines and most likely
buffalo once roamed its shores. Many older
Deerfield residents still reminisce about the old
Des Plaines swimming hole. It is a river of sub
lime physical beauty—lyrical really—reduced in
stature by the level of junk we allow to be
pumped, dumped, or drained into it. Starting in
our backyards it flows all the way to the Gulf of
Mexico trailing our debris. The river is now
home only to the bottom feeding, lowly and
shunned, carp. If we are concerned about the
deer, we should be mortified by the water quali
ty of this beautiful river.
I know that everything pumped, dumped, or
oozed into the river meets or exceeds all the
EPA standards; but the cumulative effect is
something of which we should all be ashamed. I
would suggest that in the first decade of the 21st
century there is absolutely no reason or excuse
to put anything into our rivers and streams. We
must do better. Fifty years since the publication
of Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring we seem to
have changed little and learned less—showing
the same passion for the life of this river as we
show for the life of one deer would be a starting
point. Surely the river deserves life as much as
any single creature—more, because it touches
upon thousands and thousands of lives.
Ryerson Nature Preserve is one of this
region’s most wonderful treasures, well main
tained, scenic, a step back into another era. A
perfect counterpoint for me to the digital age. To
walk on Ryerson’s paths is a privilege I recom
mend to everyone. But I always come back to
the river. Sitting by the little falls at the dam in a
drifting snowstorm transports you to silent
forests and distant vistas. The pungent odor of
chemicals always spoils my reverie and brings
me back to reality. Is this the legacy we leave
our children? In the optimism of the new millen
nium and the digital age can’t we find a solution
to clean water so that voyageurs of a future age
can share the experiences with the voyageurs of
the past? I challenge any doubter to take my
infallible Des Plaines River test. Go to the dam
in Ryerson, fill a 12 ounce glass with the water
spilling over the edge and drink it. If you can’t
do it, tell me why.
The book I am recommending this month is
Annie Proulx’s Close Range about life on the
harsh plains of Wyoming.

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

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.

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

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
important decisions can be based on
caprice and whim, and only our hindsight
is perfect. Maybe the men who ruined the
1994 season did mean well but by a mis
guided attempt achieved something
nobody wanted. That everyone could sit

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.

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.
