National Library Week Specials

Three Day Video Loans
In response to patrons’ requests, we
have extended the loan period for
videos from two days to three. Rental
fees for videos marked “NEW”
remain $1 per video. All older videos
may be borrowed free of charge to
Deerfield cardholders. You may take
out six videos at a time, and many
patrons do!
The library has several ways of
responding to patrons’ requests. One
is Librarian in the Lobby. Every
month on the second Saturday, a
member of the Deerfield Library
Board joins Library Administrator
Jack Hicks in the library' lobby. This
spring, Librarian in the Lobby will
be from 9 a.m. to noon, Saturdays,
March 13, April 10 and May 8. This
is a fine opportunity to meet library
administrators and share library con
cerns. We find that most of the com
ments are positive and many are very
helpful. This is our own brand of
market research and we do listen and
respond to you!
We also have a suggestion box at the
front desk and often implement help
ful patron suggestions. If you think
the library should purchase a book or
recording, we have a green “consider
for purchase” form you can fill out in
any department. If our librarians who
select the materials feel that it will be
a good library purchase, we will try
to buy your requested item and noti
fy you when it comes in. We are
happy to hear from you!!!

It may take some time to adjust to
the major shift of the nonfiction
books on the main floor. This shift
was necessary as the collection has
grown so much. Without enlarging
the building, the lower level Fiction
Room had been constructed and left
available space for collection growth.
The 800 s and the 900’s are now
in the east room next to biographies.
The videos are permanently on the
north wall. Books on cassette tape
are housed in temporary shelving in
this room.
In the west room, all Reference
materials and the 000 s through 700 s
were shifted forward on the shelves.
Circulating business books are now
merged into the circulating nonfic
tion collection (in numbered se
quence). A reference librarian can
assist you in finding materials.
In fall you will see more “sprucing
up” of public space. Architect R. Scott
Javore and Associates' plans have been
approved and renovation begins!

Those lines from Allen Ginsberg’s epic poem, Howl,

�Author Wlsoftss
Librarian’s DesH continued from pagel
no one does. While that thought was still roll
ing around in the back of my mind, Carl Sagan
and Jacques Cousteau also died and then that
idea began to really bother me. Who will speak
for us?
Certainly, I did not always agree with what
Sagan wrote or said, but behind the man was
that same moral ethical voice that had made
Allen Ginsberg part of my life. Sagan spoke and
wrote for years, but it took television to make
him a household word. His concern for the fu
ture, the environment and the whole world’s
quality of life is unparalleled today. Ultimately
Sagan became somewhat of a parody of him
self, lending his thought and delivery to comics
to mimic, but his moral ethical concerns remain
clear and direct. I only wish the current movie,
Contact, on which Sagan collaborated, was a
more fitting tribute to the man. Sagan's books
and thoughts will be with us for a long time.
I first learned the name Cousteau when in
19541 bought a two-hose scuba regulator used
for skin diving that was made in France and
marked Cousteau-Gagnan. I used that regu
lator to dive all over the state of Minnesota to
discover the unimpeded joys of scuba diving.
Later in the 1950’s Cousteau made his fame
with his books and the obscure French naval
officer, who in partnership with Emil Gagnon
developed the first practical underwater breath
ing device. Cousteau went far in his life, from
inventor and itinerant diver to probably the
most recognized and respected spokesman for
our natural environment. He spoke, wrote and
made films that delivered that same message
over and over: our world is precious and man
is working overtime to destroy it; save it now
or it will be lost forever.
Who will speak for us? The passing of these
three diverse men is an incalculable loss to us
as a society, made more important because
there is no one on the horizon who can take
their place. I see our generation as more inter
ested in entertainment and glamour than in
serious thought. The idea of the serious writer
as a major force in our lives is a concept that is
no longer important in our society. The ques
tion now is who will be the next celebrity telling
us they are going to Disneyworld. Since we get
all our ideas and heroes from films, entertain
ment and the media, it is an easy guess to pre
dict an increasing trivialization and commercial
ization of our lives. For now we are stuck with
witless news anchors, talk show hosts, and
sound bites. History proves everything in the
world—economics, social thought, politics,
world view—goes in cycles eventually we will
return to a point where the genius, wisdom and
humanity of Ginsberg, Sagan and Cousteau will
be appreciated. Who will speak for us?
In the meantime, I recommend this sam
pling of their writing. Ginsberg: Howland Other
Poems; Selected Poems 1947-1995; Allen
Verbatim; Kaddish and Other Poems and Air
plane Dreams. Sagan: Cosmos, Cosmic Con
nection; Broca's Brain; Planets and Pale Blue
Dot. Cousteau: The Living World; Silent World;
Jacques Cousteau's Calypso; Riches of the
Sea and Thex Sea in Danger.

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.

Bill Brashler
Tory Savage
Wednesday, March 13, 7:30 p.m. Per^feonal finance dynamo and Emmy Award
^^Vinning journalist, Terry Savage keynotes
our "Enrich Your Life" theme with her 1991
economic forecast. Her book, Terry Savage
Talks Money., the Common Sense Guide to
Money Matters, is "a reliable introduction to
the widening world of do-it-yourself money
management". It is one of the three best
selling financial books in America today. A
founding member of the Chicago Board
Options Exchange and registered invest
ment advisor, she is Financial Analyst on
WBBM-TV Ch. 2 evening news and her
"Money Talks" program leads in to "CBS
This Morning".
Tuesday, April 16, 7:30 p.m. "The
Mystery of the Living Writer" is our gift to
you for National Library Week. We wel
come award winning author (20 years in the
business), journalist and raconteur, Bill
Brashler. He has just completed his ninth
book, Murder in Wtiglcy Field, and will in
troduce us to his main character, Duffy
House. Duffy will be included in a new
series of mysteries. Brashler’s 1989 novel,
Traders is a "provocative portrait of the
Chicago Board of Trade." He is a lively
speaker with a store of anecdotes who will
share with us some advice about the craft
of writing, getting published and surviving
as an author.
ENRICH YOUR LIFE.....ATDEERFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY
With this spring newsletter, we introduce the new Deerfield
Library logo. The logo, seen above on our new masthead,
depicts a book whose spine and pages form the shape of a lotus
blossom, the ancient symbol of self-creation. This identifying
symbol, represents self enrichment through knowledge.
The Library of Congress has designated 1991 the Year of
the Lifetime Reader, so we celebrate LIFE and the connection
between our materials and services and your daily lives. With
our collections, we answer questions: What to name the new
baby? A definition of ulcers and recipes for this condition?
^^low to take minutes at a business meeting? How to spell a
^Bvord, plan a wedding, make a business plan, give a value to
Grandma’s vase, string some beads?
We help you to learn, grow, solve, laugh, feel and cope.
We enrich your life!

GIVE US
WINGS
A year ago I wrote in this column about
the self-collapse of the Berlin Wall and the
effect world-wide peace would have on
genre fiction. I wrote a year too early. The
war in the Middle East and the repression
in Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia have a
greater potential for disaster than any we
have faced as a nation in the last forty years.
I back our troops in the Persian Gulf and
President Bush. I also respect those of us
who choose to oppose this war. The U.S.
Constitution guarantees freedom of
speech-enabling citizens to voice opposi
tion to governmental policy. About this
right we should be resolute and justly
proud. As a former Staff Sergeant in the 8th
Infantry Division, I have strong feelings
about the safety of our boys overseas. A
concern closer to home are the racial and
ethnic epithets that are heard to describe
Middle Eastern peoples. These
stereotypes must be rejected by all of us.
I am impressed with President Bush
when he speaks of a new world order
emerging from this catastrophe. Hopefully,
this will mean: a permanent rule of Inter
national Law, a rejection of terrorism as an
element of politics, a refusal to arm any
tyrant with modern weapons, and an
American foreign policy that rises above
the failed concepts that have equated our
friends as our enemy’s enemy.
Can the epic Spring of 1990 still bloom
into a world of peace?
The book I am recommending this
month is The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil,
Money, and Power by Daniel Yergin.
Awash in a sea of oil this timely history
traces man’s grasping for oil: the per
sonalities, nationalism, and the drive for
power and wealth that have created and
exacerbated our current dilemma.

�BENN AND SABATO SEEK
RE-ELECTION
F.YA.
■ Music Listening Area: The library has
two new listening stations in the Fic
tion/Quiet Room. You can now hear
your favorite music on cassette or
compact disc or listen to books on tape
in the library. To do this, select your
audio, check it out, ask for head
phones, and leave an i.d. at the
Circulation Desk.
On April, 2 a local election will be held
for two Deerfield library trustee positions.
^|wo incumbents, Sue Benn and Tony
^^abato, will run for re-election. Both 20
year residents of Deerfield, they have each
had a number of years’ experience at board
posts. Sabato has been board treasurer and
Benn has served on committees of the
seven member board. Also active in other
Deerfield community activities, they are
strong users and supporters of the library.
The Library Board meets monthly, and
elected members each serve six year terms.
Their responsibilities include determining
basic library policy, delegating administrative authority to the director, and
overseeing all major expenditures.
■ It now costs 30 cents to reserve a Deer
field book, due to the rise in postal
rates; you are notified by mail when
your book is in. When books are re
quested from other libraries, there is
no charge; you are notified by
telephone.
■ Missing books cause the library lots of
problems. The book you don(t return
is the book the next person needs.
TRUTH STRANGER
THAN FICTION?
■ It is a true axiom that when times get
tough, people use the library more.
The first month of 1991, adult refer
ence questions increased 19 9c from
last year. January 1990: 1,716 ques
tions answered. January 1991:2,047.
The library has just received a new fic
tion book about air combat in the Persian
Gulf, First Air by Michael Skinner. Skinner,
a former CNN writer, has published a tech
no thriller whose images beam at us on the
evening news. The political scenario is dif
ferent, but its depiction of modern war, as
it could happen (already has) in the Persian
is eerily coincidental.
■ Friends of the Library group is becom
ing active and vital. For $5 a year you
can join. Applications at front desk.
AND THE WINNERS IN
THE CHILDREN’S
CATEGORY ARE...
CALLING OUT OF TOWN?
Deerfield Library has always housed a
variety of current out of town (USA)
telephone directories. Further, in the past
each North Suburban Public Library has
"specialized" in a different state, in a
cooperative sharing project. (Deerfield’s
"state" is Arizona.)
Now, public libraries are no longer able
to receive a large variety of free city
telephone books. Since costs will be levied,
we are placing a survey form on each
telephone directory to determine use pat
terns and the most needed phone books.
Please continue to ask the reference
librarians for assistance with the out of
state directories. The telephone directory
issue has become a very complicated one
for libraries.

Fall 1990
Vol 5, No. 4
/tc/1044- tfie
—The other side of Lake Wobegon—
A Death in White Bear Lake is a book
about an “All American City.” This^ is a
hard story to discuss because it deals with
a small boy savagely beaten to death by ftis
mother — a child abuser. But it is an im
portant book on several levels and for ver^
serious reasons.
The homicide took place in 1965 but
because people closed their hearts and
minds to the evil around them, the legal
system sputtered and faltered and the case
was filed away for twenty-two years. In
1987, through an unlikely series of events,
a group of everyday people did some very
extraordinary things to see that this murder
would not go unpunished.
A courageous medical examiner re
opened the files, a determined police force
^J3uilt a strong charge, and a dedicated legal
^A'stem pressed the trial to a just conclu^^ion. These brave and outraged people
remembered an innocent little boy and
demanded justice, unlike so many who did
not speak in 1965, or denied, or lied, or
intimated, or covered up.
The real question raised by this book is:
what would you or I have done? Would we
look away, harden our hearts, refuse to get
involved to protect ourselves? After twentytwo years would we still turn away? Would
we remember? Would we have the courage
to stand against evil? If not, how would we
choose to be remembered? The message is
clear — if this could happen to an “All
American City” it can happen anywhere.
If they could do it, we could do it. Inertia
and failure to act are the real unknowns;
how easy it is to be brave if you are never
put to the test.
The author, Barry Siegel, merits great
praise for outstanding reporting. This
haunting book has an amazing texture,
depth, and feel for time and place. John
Donne wrote that... “no man is an island,”
a phrase that has a special meaning to me
because the crib side doctor who saw a
^Meath by child abuse and turned aside was
community stalwart in White Bear Lake
— my home town — and the attending
physician at my father’s death.

Changes to Serve You Better, Faster • • •
The popular new books are wanted by so
many; this often means long waits for the
best sellers. We are trying to deal with this
problem by shortening loan periods for new
fiction books and by ordering more copies
faster.
Beginning Sept. 4, all new fiction books
will have one week loan periods until they
are six months old. This should provide a
faster turnaround time for the next person.
Books can be renewed by phone or in
person if they are not overdue and there
is no waiting list.
While we cannot quickly satisfy 60 re
quests for Scott Turow’s “Burden of
Proof,” we are anticipating demand for
popular authors by using a new Fast Track
ordering system. It promises speedy
delivery of multiple copies of projected best
sellers. Some of these are Belva Plain’s
“Harvest”, Dick Francis’s “Long Shot”
and Sidney Sheldon’s “Memories of
Midnight”.
All new books will stay on the NEW
BOOK SHELVES for one year — nonfic-
tion by the fireplace, fiction on the new
stacks in the Fiction/Quiet Room.
To keep the collection current, librarians
are busy with a major weeding
(housecleaning) project. Outdated and
damaged books are removed from the col
lection, and some are placed on the
ongoing “for sale” carts.
Large Print Books, Adult Basic Readers,
Short Story Collections, and Circulating
Paperbacks are now next to the new fiction.
For reading suggestions, check our new
guides to good reading. These include lists
of new Deerfield books; “Bestsellers”
which include author close ups, plot sum
maries, what the critics say, and related
must reads; Best books of ’88 & ’89, and
lists of Techno Thrillers, Traditional
Romances, Faraway Places, Pigskin Peo
ple, Spies, etc. On display are also
“Modern Fantasy: 100 Best Novels,” a
book listing the best crime and mystery
books, “Sequels: A Guide to Reading in
Series”, American Best Sellers, and other
books offering reading suggestions.
The five story Illinois State Library
building was dedicated on June 20. It faces
and is designed to be compatible with the
architecture of the 102 year old State
Capitol building. The library houses the
state’s 4.7 million volumes, and state and
federal documents. In the planning stages
for 20 years, the project became a reality
when it received $36 million as part of the
“Building Illinois” program. The library’s
resources may be borrowed by using a
library card issued by any Illinois public
library.
At the dedication of the State Library building in
Springfield, Deerfield Librarians Baiba
Rosenkranz, far left, and Sally Brickman, flank
Secretary of State/State Librarian/Gubernatorial
candidate, Jim Edgar, with Elliott Kanner, far right
(Deerfield resident & North Suburban Library
System administrator).
Please let us know • • •
We are trying to determine the need for
library outreach service in Deerfield. If
there are people who would like to have
library service but are unable or have dif
ficulty getting to the library we would like
to know. Difficulty reading? Ask about our
specialized talking books from the National
Library Service for Blind/Physically
Handicapped.

North Shore Author Eleanore Devine
Tuesday, Sept. 11, 7:30 p.m.
Reviewers heralded her “quietly shock
ing” short stories from “You’re Standing
in My Light” as ‘’remarkable because they
are tart, taut, touching, economical, ellip
tical, sharp, sensuous and sexy”. Devine
lays claim to a territory of human ex
perience few writers have explored with
such honesty, perceptiveness and vigor;
that of the aging older woman, adamant
that her life make sense, determined that
certain human values be expressed.

Codependency: Suffering Without
Meaning
Tuesday, Oct. 2, 7:30 p.m.
While “codependency” is a new “in”
word, it does not subtract from the validi
ty that it is a real problem resulting in selfdefeating behaviors, according to Kathleen
Fitzgerald, Ph.D., published author on the
subject of addiction. Fitzgerald, president
of Lake Forest’s Institute for Recovery, will
discuss what codependency is, how
childhood wounds surface in adult years,
and actions that can be taken to emerge
from this condition.
Children and Families in the 90’s
Tuesday, Oct. 9, 7:30p.m.
Co-sponsored with the League of
Women Voters, and AAUW, a panel discus
sion will provide local, national and state
perspectives: Represented are Voices for Il
linois Children, Family Network of
Highland Park, and Lake County ABC
Council which plans and coordinates men
tal health, substance abuse, and
developmental disability services.
Register to Vote
The League of Women Voters offers
Voter Registration at the library, Saturdays,
Sept. 8, 15, 22 & 29. This will be the last
opportunity to prepare to vote in the
November election as there is no registra
tion in Oct. Voters are reminded that they
must have the new blue voting cards; the
red ones are no longer applicable.

tal stage. This is a growth period for which
parents are least prepared and problems

tions on night fears, sibling rivalry, creative
play, imagination, etc. and respond to
questions.
Reality of Retirement
Tuesday, October 23, 7:30 p.m.
In cooperation with the Deerfield Senior
Center, the library welcomes Barbara Lans,

BROWSING

Spring 1990
Vol. 5, No. 2

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.

Dec. 1987-Fcb. 1988
Vol.2 No. 3
COURTAULD ART PREVIEW IS DECEMBER 7
As a special holiday treat, the
Deerfield Public Library will
present a preview slide/lecture
showing of the Impressionist and
Post-Impressionist Masterpieces:
The Courtauld Collection. The
presentation will begin at 7:30
p.m. Monday, December 7 in the
Eleanore T. Dawe Room.
Through the eyes of the artists,
Lee Gibbs will present many
views of 19th century French
life with a humanistic as well as
artistic approach. The artists
specialized in animation and
flux, illuminating shadows,
heightening colors and catching
the moment. Their brushstrokes
became mist, sparkle, shimmer
and brightness.
The collection, one of the
world’s most outstanding, is on
special loan until Jan. 3 to the
Art Institute of Chicago, from
the University of London’s
Courtauld Institute. It contains
many of the most important
French paintings of the period
from 1870 to 1910. The 48
selected paintings on view
include best known and beloved
works by Manet, Degas, Monet,
Renoir, Cezanne, Seurat,
VanGogh, Gauguin, and
Toulouse Lautrec among many
others.
Lee Gibbs, guest lecturer, is a
world traveled lecturer and
photographer and contains an
enthusiasm for her subject that
has gained her a sple.ndid
reputation in the Chicago area.
This event is free and open to
the public, but reservations are
requested. To reserve space,
please notify the Circulation
Desk, 945-3311.
LIBRARY/SCHOOL COOPERATION
IS WINNING IDEA
Jack Hicks, Head of the
Reference Dept., Deerfield
Public Library, and Gerri
Spinella, Language Arts teacher
at Wilmot Junior High, District
109, co-present a program at this
years’ Midwest Federation of
Library Associations Convention
in Indianapolis. Their program,
Library Instruction for Junior
High Students, was selected as a
unique example of cooperation
between two diverse community
organizations.
For the past seven years
Deerfield Public Library and
Wilmot Jr. High have conducted
a joint research skills program.
What started out on a casual
basis has grown into a significant
learning experience for the 8th
Grade students from Wilmot Jr.
High. Librarians and teachers
alike are enthusiastic about the
success of the project, which in
the past year was nominated as a
“Winning Curriculum Idea” by
the National Association of
Professional Educators.
Students are instructed in the
use of library reference
materials, the research process,
and the compiling of
bibliographies. The goal of the
projects is to increase the
students’ library skills, assure
success instead of frustration
when the student confronts
research for the first time,
demystify the library, and make
the students feel that library
research is within their
capabilities.
�SAVE THIS ADULT
PROGRAM SCHEDULE
FOR THE NEW YEAR!
Mark calendars now for some
enlightening, free programs
scheduled for 1988 at Deerfield
Public Library. All programs
except Sunday begin at 7:30
p.m. and focus on YOU!
MONDAY, JANUARY 11 CHOICES FOR A RICHER
LIFE
“It’s great to have a genie to
press magic buttons, but it is
better to be your own genie;get
rid of the indecision, doubt and
fear. A richer life is a state of
mind’’ says Linda Fallucca,
Ph.D. Her 23 years as a
psychotherapist with intuitive
abilities will bring a unique
understanding to how we can
use our own intuition to make
posi tive* choices. We CAN
control our thoughts, attitudes,
actions and beliefs to choose a
richer life.
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 20 “NIPS, TUCKS AND YOU”
If the January blahs lead you to
begin thinking about tummy
tucks, face lifts, or other ways to
look and feel better, Cosmetic
Surgeon Steven Bloch of
Highland Park Hospital will offer
some of the pros and cons at this
evening meeting. Come take a
peek at some before and after
photos, and consider the
possibilities. The doctor will
focus on how it all affects you.
SUNDAY, JANUARY 24
This is a special event that
launches our new year at the
library and promises to be a
pretty terrific afternoon for the
whole family. Information will
be available in January.
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2 LOOK MA! NO CAVITIES!
NO BRACES! NO SPACES!
Mark Cannon specializes in
dentristy for children (up to age
21) and will offer an insight for
parents about “when to do
what” to prevent tooth decay,
bite problems, ear infections,
etc. Expense, agony and time in
the dental chair can be avoided.
A friendly dentist, whose private
practice is in Long Grove,
Cannon is associated with a
number of area hospitals
including Highland Park,
Children’s Memorial and Good
Shepherd. He will put animation
and important knowledge into
his presentation and offer
practical help that will make for
healthier growing up years.
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 10 I THOUGHT MY TAXES WERE
GOING DOWN! WHAT CAN I
DO NOW?
Just named by Money Magazine
as one of America’s best tax
practitioners, Gary S. Hart, a
Deerfield resident, offers the
inside information on preparing
1987 tax returns and planning
for 1988. Hart, a CPA and
president of Gary Hart &
Associates, Ltd. in Chicago, will
discuss: finding hidden
deductions, what to do about
your IRA, structuring your loan
portfolio and avoiding tax
penalties.
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 23 NEPAL ADVENTURE
Trekking season is almost upon
us and before guide Jim
Crosswhite leaves for Nepal he
visits Deerfield to take us on an
“armchair” ride to Nepal in the
Himalayas to trek the highest
mountain on Earth. Crosswhite
has trekked for months in Nepal,
rafted its rivers, and tracked
rhino on foot all within the
shadow of Mt. Everest. You’ll
view it all here in the library.
FROM THE EXECUTIVE
LIBRARIAN......
Noreen Curulewski had been
here almost twenty years as
Head of Circulation when she
retired in September to a new
home in California with her
husband Frank.
Always optimistic and cheerful,
she was liked by staff and
patrons alike. She was here when
I came. Together we experienced
a referendum, a building
program, a move, expansion, and
the introduction of automation - - and those are just the
highlights!
She inspired great loyalty on the
part of her staff, and always gave
one hundred percent of herself
to whatever needed to be done.
We wish her the best of
everything and hope that she’ll
keep us posted on what’s going
on in her new life.

WHAT DR. RUTH FORGOT
TO TELL YOU: THE FACTS
On Tuesday, December 1,
Highland Park Hospital
obstetrician-gynecologist Doctor
Michael Benson will give a talk
at the library on basic sex facts.
He will review fertility,
contraception, sexually
transmitted diseases, and sexual
behavior. Dr. Benson says that
most adults in the United States
do not know the fertile time in a
woman’s menstrual cycle.
Sexually transmitted diseases are
becoming epidemic and teen
pregnancy rate in this country is
the highest in the developed
world. Despite all of the media
exposure, there are still
misunderstandings. A question
and answer session follows his
presentation which is open to
the public and begins at 7:30
p.m.
�STAFF APPOINTMENTS
Pat Palmer has been promoted
to Circulation Supervisor. She is
a Deerfield resident, with five
children, who has been
Circulation Clerk at the library
for three years.
Sally Brickman has been
appointed Director of Public
Relations and Programming. She
will also assist at the Reference
Desk. A native Clevelander, she
holds a Master’s Degree in
Library Science from Case
Western Reserve University and
has worked as a librarian in
school, academic and public
libraries. For ten years she was
Editor/ Publicist at Case Western
Reserve University Libraries
specializing in library public
relations. An active member of
the American Library
Association, she was elected
chair of the executive committee
of the 2000 member Public
Relations Section and has led
many of its committees. Most
recently she was Public
Information Officer at the
Center for Research Libraries in

proud of her two sons, ages 24
