Message from
the Director
Thank you, Deerfield!
The recent approval of
the Library’s request for
funding for the Library
Improvement Plan is a win for everyone
in Deerfield. This gives us the
opportunity to improve our library
building and services, which will benefit
the entire community.
We have begun to get questions about
how soon we will proceed. There are
many steps to be completed and
approvals to be obtained as we move
forward. For example, we need to complete
the architectural designs, and then
share them with Village Commissions as
part of the approval process. Certain
questions or concerns may require some
adjustments to the design or other
changes. When the approval process is
final, we will need to go out to bid for
construction, then evaluate the bids to
assure we are getting the best value and
quality for the project. At best this
process will take several seasons, if all
goes smoothly.
We appreciate the ongoing interest of
our residents, and we will continue to
keep you updated via our Facebook and
Website pages. We received very positive
feedback about our openness during the
referendum, and we plan to continue
sharing our progress with you along the
way. Of course you are also welcome to
attend Library Board meetings, or read
the minutes of these meetings on our
website. Keeping you informed and
involved is important to us, so please
share your questions and comments
along the way.

Library Improvement Plans Move Forward
The November 2 referendum for $11,775 million to fund the Library Improvement
Plan was approved! Over 58.4% of Deerfield voters voted yes, with 41.5% voting against.
The plan calls for improvements to the Library building and services, in order to
meet the needs of Deerfield residents for the next 20 years or more. Space will be
reorganized, remodeled, and expanded. The building layout will become more open
and flexible to allow for changing needs and multi-purpose uses. Adults will have
more quiet reading areas. Additional computers will be added for adults and children,
and a new Technology Lab will offer instruction and workshops. The Youth Services
area will be improved, along with a larger and better designed Youth Program Room.
All restrooms will be ADA compliant. Self-check kiosks and a convenience center will
be added, and the meeting room will be enlarged. The building’s aging infrastructure
will be upgraded or replaced, and the parking lot will be improved.
“The vote is a win for everyone in Deerfield. This gives us the opportunity to improve
our Library building and services, which will benefit the entire community,” said Ken
Abosch, President of the Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees. “The Library
Board is grateful to eveiyone who provided ideas and feedback as we developed the
Library Improvement Plan. We also want to thank Deerfield residents for the time
they took to become informed about the referendum.”
The Board will proceed with the Libraiy Improvement Plan in the most expedient
and efficient manner possible. There are many steps involved, including finalizing
architectural design, reviewing of the plans by Village commissions, completing
construction documents, and bidding the various phases of construction work. It’s not
possible at this time to say exactly when construction will begin.
Please check the Library’s Web site for the latest information about implementation
of the Library Improvement Plan.

Vd Public Lib
To Deerfield Residents
From Ken Abosch, President
Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees
On July 21, the Library Board unanimously
agreed to take the next step toward a plan to
improve the Deerfield Public Library. Trustees
voted to put a referendum on the November
2010 general election ballot asking for funds
for the Library Improvement Plan. (See related
article.)
As President of the Deerfield Public Library
Board of Trustees, I am proud of the public
process used to develop the plan. A 23-member
Citizens Input Group (CIG) helped the Library
Board gather and evaluate feedback about
Library needs and options through a series of
seven community open houses in March and
June. The Board also sought input about
improvement options through an independent
telephone survey of community residents, as
well as one-on-one conversations.
As a result of what we heard, Library Trustees
combined elements from several options and
downsized the most ambitious improvement
suggestions. The Library Improvement Plan
expands on what is now available and possible.
It will bring our Library into the 21st centuiy
in order to provide Deerfield with the greatest
possible value from this important community
asset.
On behalf of the Libraiy Board, I want to thank
everyone who participated in this process by
sharing ideas, feedback, and questions.
Especially, we want to thank the members of
the Citizens Input Group for being the
additional eyes and ears for the Libraiy Board,
by helping trustees gather input from Deerfield
residents.
We look forward to talking with community
members over the next few months as we
provide more details about the Libraiy
Improvement Plan.
"•WS.
*6' Number 2
Library Improvement Plan
Over the past year, the Libraiy Board has carefully evaluated options for
improving our nearly 40-year-old libraiy building and its capacity to serve
Deerfield residents. Libraiy Trustees sought input from Deerfield residents and
studied how best to meet the libraiy service needs of our community now and
into the future.
At its July 21,2010 meeting, Libraiy Trustees reviewed all these findings and
voted unanimously to seek funding through a November 2010 referendum for a
Libraiy Improvement Plan. The plan will upgrade infrastructure, reconfigure
and renovate existing space, and expand the Libraiy by about 10,000 square feet.
The Deerfield Public Libraiy has been well used since the building opened
more than 39 years ago. Since 1971, Deerfield’s population has changed and
usage has increased. New types of materials, services, and technology have
expanded the ways residents can use and benefit from the Libraiy.
“While we’ve been able to update some services to meet changing needs, we
face challenges in delivering 21st-century service from a building that was built
in the last centuiy. Our residents deserve a full-service library that is better
able to meet the growing demands and changing needs of our community,” said
Ken Abosch, Library Board President.
After considering a range of options and reviewing community input, the
Libraiy Board developed a Libraiy Improvement Plan that it feels offers the
greatest value in the most cost-effective manner. The project is significantly
downsized from a 2004 referendum which sought to build a new libraiy. The
2010 referendum amount of $11,775 million is less than half of the amount
sought in 2004. The existing building will be renovated and expanded, providing
new and better spaces at a more economical cost. Exciting new areas and
features will be designed for flexibility to meet changing space and patron
needs into the future.
The Libraiy Board plans to spend $2 million of its reserves on the project. The
reserves were accumulated specifically for this type of need: to update and
replace infrastructure, or other capital project needs related to the building.
More information about the proposed Libraiy Improvement Plan is available on
the Library’s website at www.deerfieldlibraiy.org. In addition, Public
Information Meetings in September and October will provide architectural
conceptual drawings and more information about the project.

Stoichiometric Coefficients and
the Molar Ratios
“Sure.”
We suppose that there are some parents
who might say, “Cool - first check the
stoichiometric coefficients and the molar
ratios.” If you are that parent, skip this
article and go on to the next. If you’re not,
you need to know about Live Homework
Help from Tutor.com, a premium service
offered free by the Library that provides
real homework help from real, live tutors
online. Students K - 12, college-level
students and adult learners can receive
help in math, social studies, English or
science-including chemistiy. In fact, in
June, lOth-grade chemistiy students used
Tutor.com to ask questions just like the one
described above. Here’s one of the
comments from a chemistiy student about
the service: “My tutor was incredible. She
was able to help me out with a difficult
chem concept and she continued to give me
practice problems when she realized I was
still shaky.”
Access to Tutor.com is available free
through the Web site to all patrons at the
Library and available to Deerfield Public
Library cardholders from home seven
days a week from 2-9 p.m.

Neui Ficlion Room To Open
I
xcitement is building over
the library’s newly remod
eled lower level. In Septem
ber there will be a grand
opening celebration. The reading
area will be named: Thomas E.
Parfitt Fiction Room. Parfitt retired
from the library board in 1993 after
22 years of service; he was library
board president for 20 of those years.
The library board Building Com
mittee includes Sue Benn, Diane Kraus
and Yvonne Sharpe. They said, “The
room will be warm, inviting and class)'.
.
Comfortable furnishings in
earthtones and wood will
be featured, but the
greatest element is a lot
of light with a relaxing
garden view.”
The remodeling, in
x
planning stages since 1992,
will provide 23% additional floor
space and 20% increased shelf space.
It will be paid for entirely by Tax
Increment Financing from the Vil
lage of Deerfield at no extra cost to
taxpayers.

Magazine Index Rdded lo
Online Catalog
You can now access a magazine in
dex database called Infotrac 2000
from any Dynix terminal in the
library. There are three databases
available: Business and Company
Profile ASAP, Health ASAP and
Magazine Index Plus (for current
affairs, consumer information,
travel, arts, entertainment). Coverage
is from 1992 to the present. Some
articles are citation only, some have
abstracts, and some are full text.
Librarians will be happy to assist
you in your search.
Across the Librarian’s Desk
Now that the Age of Espionage is ebbing and the
Age of Lawyers is fully upon us, I wonder what the
next great themes for fiction will be? Publishers have
so confused form for content and occupation for char
acter they no longer seem to know the difference. The
trend I see in popular fiction is a continuous reduction
in literate writing, the etching of character, compelling
dialogue, or even plot. What has replaced these ele
ments of literature is action, sex (and I don’t mean
gender), and a downscaling of the intelligence quo
tient to about the 6th grade level. Where is the literate
adult fare that is not murder, spies, or lawyers? What’s
next? I'll bet it will be software gurus. Fascinating.
Wolff Elected
Board
On April 4 Bill Seiden and David
Wolff were each elected to a six year
term on the Deerfield Library Board
of Trustees.Wolff, a manufacturers'
representative in metal forming,
said, “I wish to thank the Deerfield
voters for returning me to the
Library Board of Trustees for a sec
ond term. I shall work with the
board to continue the outstanding
level of service to our patrons within
the fiscal constraints of a limited
budget.” Seiden, an Illinois C.RA.,
is a retired corporate executive now
doing limited consulting. Seiden is
also committed to serving all of
Deerfield’s residents “working with
other board members to arrive at
meaningful decisions and to provide
excellent services for the community.”
As disappointing as the trend in books has been, it
has been outdone by the film industry. Action car

the wonderful musicals of the 1940’s and the great
“adult" film noir that defined films for so long? The real
question is where are the scripts that challenge and
delight, where are the themes and motifs that go along
Continued on page 2

o u
(continued from page 1)
with good writing? When did the term “adult” come
to mean skin? I remember being scared stiff by
Cary Grant and a glass of milk; now it takes chain
saws, body parts and gallons of blood to achieve
an effect.
Actually what we are seeing is the precursor
of a non-literate culture. Our country is becoming
visual instead of verbal with kids watching too
many thousands of hours of numbing television
and not reading books...and not knowing the dif
ference. Hence we have poor scripts, and non
literate books. Lawyers are seen as fascinating
characters in far too much fiction. It appears we
are abrogating our culture to publishers and me
dia and movie moguls who say “..no one reads,
only dumb kids go to the movies, trash for the
masses."
We know this not to be totally true. Barnes and
Noble and Borders validate the fact that Deerfield
has a literate and reading population. We look for
books and mature films that inspire and challenge
us. As an antidote, it is fortunate that we live in an
area of affordable theatre, not just the Shubert
and Goodman but the small ones, the Organic
Theatre, Next, Steppenwolf, Northlight, The Re
mains—the list is gratifyingly long. But even
though we read, it seems that media producers
are intent on reducing what is available to the low
est common denominator. Reductio adAbsurdum.
Apparently it makes money and that’s all that
seems to count today. The O.J. Simpson trial cov
erage is just a symptom of the widespread con
sumer entertainment disease—simple, mindless,
violent and visual.

It is ironic that we call for values and respon
sibility from any individual in this age of collective
irresponsibility. We ask for less violence on our
streets but pay to wallow in it in books and films.
We demand accountability but we don’t practice
O
it ourselves. Maybe that’s the real loss—our own
honesty and integrity. I have always been a firm
believer that today is “the good old days." But
when it comes to books and films, looking back
wards you see adult books and films that chal
lenged, entertained, inspired and enchanted...
made by people who read, wrote, and thought.
The book that I am recommending this month
is Rocking the Babies by Linda Raymond. This is
a book that makes you believe in people, reaffirm
real family values and inspires our highest in
stincts. Set in a hospital, the book examines those
who provide care and love to drug addicted newborns.

As I approach old age I have come to real
ize that roadmaps are as inexorable as the DNA
genetic code. They tell us where we came from,
and who we are. What we respect, value, and how
we interact. What we like to eat. This accidental
geography of birth becomes as important as our
parents. The value schemes, the ethnocentricisms.

grandparents lived, the street past the
night school, the street of our girl friend's
college dorm. Fixed points in an ever
changing life, and we remember what all
those people taught us.
Literature and science alike will tell
you that American regionalism is going
the way of the passenger pigeon. I not
only hope not. I know it is not. Oh.
maybe the obvious twang of an Okie, or
the drawl of a Texan, but even there a
good ear will hear Dallas, west Texas, or
Oklahoma. The old road signs steer us
home everytime. Value schemes may be
harder to see. and maybe they are fad
ing away. They will if we let them.
We all worry today about what we
see as a decline in our society. Read a
little history. Violence. It was ever so,
only not reported as routinely or spectac
ularly. There was always someone who
pulled a gun or a knife to settle a dis
agreement. There were probably those
who carried guns to school, the differ
ence today seems to be the mindless
willingness to use them. Maybe Old
Lodgskins said it best in Little Big Man,
"...white men are crazy, they don't know
where the center of the earth is." Road
maps, maybe we should start using them
more often.
Or maybe we should be turning
back tcrthe hometown sources of those
maps and find an unwillingness to accept
or tolerate violence. Whether the vio
lence is racism, crime, drugs, institution
al barbarism in our prisons, conglomer
ate America, dumping toxic waste in our
old swimming hole, or a kid packing a
gun. Racism, drugs and crime do not
have to be part and parcel of our daily
lives. Our social roadsigns should steer
us away from accepting murder mas
querading as entertainment in TV and
movies or lurid crime replacing news and
reporting in our papers. The real crime is
our acquiescence, acceptance, tolerance
and participation in this corruption of our
society. Look in the media mirror, it
reflects us.
The book I am recommending this
month is Zephyr by Henry Kisor. Riding
the Amtrak Zephry Kisor samples the
sights and people on his train trip west.
Always an interesting author. Henry
Kisor taps into the lives of his fellow pas
sengers. and the vital signs of railroading.
