�Across the Librarian’s Desk
/ \ s I began to write my last newsletter column, 1 could not help but reflect over the past thirty/\ \ four years and remember all the issues—collection development, remodeling, money,
/__\ \ sendees, programs, puppet shows, computers, boilers, leaking roofs, long-range plans,
ji
j \ carpets, sewers, ballast resistors, 4th of July lemonade, stalled elevators, leaking pipes,
JL. A freon leaks, and electrical fires—that I have been involved with for all those years. A lot
of tasks not dissimilar from the myth of Sisyphus—working away at the big and little projects every
day for 34 years and realizing that the work is never actually finished but is always a work in progress.
A work we can always improve. It is important to remember that a library is a dynamic organization
and that if it remains static, it fails. An untended library is merely a room full of books, not a function
ing library7—and it will not be a busy place. There are always a hundred and one jobs, repairs, projects,
enhancements, and changes taking place. The Library currently needs more than a few fluffy chairs and
a coat of face paint. As I look forward to retirement in June, I realize that there is a lot more heavy
lumber that needs to get hauled.
The options for the future of the library are not infinite, nor can they be delayed to the time when the
memory of man runneth not to the contrary. They boil down to some simple choices: 1. Remain in this
building as is and replace or repair the infrastructure. This will cost more than several million dollars.
2. Add on to this building. 3. Build a new library on this site. The work of the consultants (space needs
studies, 1000 respondent resident survey, and a handful of other reports that were done in 2002, 2003,
and 2004) amply demonstrated the capital needs of this library, which remain valid today. The options
are not equal, nor do they all really support adequate library service, and my concern is several of them
are too costly for the miniscule return on the investment. Add to this mix District library concerns,
rapidly evolving computer products, the Internet, and you can see the Board of Trustees have a full
plate before them.
What is necessary for those of you who recognize the needs of the Library is to support this Board as
they move forward. Help them reorganize the Friends of the Library, build consensus and spread the
Library message to all the residents. Support for your library is what is needed most as we move to the
future. It is also very important to remember that, through the efforts of Treasurers like Tony Sabato and
Bill Seiden, this Library has always operated within a balanced budget and is the lowest-taxing entity in
the Village—open more hours and serving more residents than any other.
The failure of the Library referendum constrains a logical and normal growth path for the Library,
leaving limited options. The property to the north is no longer available. What will help the Library
most to succeed is community support, resident involvement, and constructive dialogue. It is important
to remember that nothing innovative was ever done without risk and that nothing worthwhile was ever
easy. There is a lot of tree felling and hauling yet to be done. I encourage all of you library users, who
know and use the library7 daily, to step up and help the new director and the Library Board—and I urge
you to be resolute. You know you need a library now more than ever and have told us clearly you want
it in exactly the same location. Services cannot be expanded, or even maintained at present levels,
without substantial capital improvement.
I end my 34 years in Deerfield June 30th. It has been a great run for me personally and professionally.
Libraries have changed more in the past thirty years than in the past three hundred years. Deerfield was
always at the cutting edge of those changes and developments. Personally, I have raised my family in
Deerfield and made many great lifetime friends. I have a lot of plans for the future—travel, volunteer
work, kayaks, motorcycles, and building projects. I am proud to have been Deerfield Library Director
number five and wish my successor, number six, all the best. The Library’s Deputy Director, Sally
Brickman is also retiring from full-time work. Sally has been my partner, the Library’s creative force,
and friend for over twenty years and it is a partnership I treasure. I will miss the Library and our resi
dents more than words can tell; people have always been the joy of my job. Thanks for the memories.

SPRING, 1994
DEERFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY
Vol. 9, No. 2
Across the
Librarian's Desk
I
une 6th this year marks the fiftieth
anniversary of the Allied D-Day land
ings at Normandy. I remember that
event so clearly—not like it was yesterday
but pretty close. When we were kids dur
ing WWII, everything we did related to the
war and the war effort. My Dad ran a slide
rule in the engineering department at Mar
tin Aircraft in Omaha, Nebraska so D-Day
had a special significance; Omaha Beach
was the focus of so much concern during
the first days of invasion that we thought
Omaha Beach was our own personal cru
sade. We got the
news from our
Philco radio, raced
to see the invasion
44 Everything
we did related newsreels at the
movie matinees,
to the war?? and practiced
blackouts every
month.
There have been so many changes in Amer
ican life since those days fifty years ago, it
is hard to believe it all. So much of our lives
centered on the military; all my uncles and
a cousin served in WWII, my brother and
many friends served in Korea, and my gen
eration soldiered through the Cold War and
Viet Nam. During WWII we watched the
railroad trains as often as we could; tanks
and landing craft going west, P-51's and
other California produce going east and
grinning boys in khaki going everywhere.
War, military service and separation from
family and friends almost define the last
three generations of Americans. But so do
the ideals we learned: honor, duty, country.
The war really stole our childhood; I
remember patriotic rallies that exhorted lit
tle kids to collect tin cans and rubber scraps
to save America; anyone who ever did it

Raise A Reader From Day One
New Computer System
Babies are potential readers! Thanks to the efforts
of the Deerfield Women of Today, funds have been
raised to initiate a program to welcome Deerfield
babies and introduce them to a lifetime of reading.
At the request of parents, grandparents or friends,
a library packet especially for infants will be sent to
the home of any child six months or younger. If the
family lives within incorporated Deerfield, a gift
coupon redeemable in the Youth Services Depart
ment will be included. Let us know about new
babies in town!
Walgreens, Firstar Bank and Borders Books &
Music have graciously contributed to the first year
of this program.
Deerfield is proceeding with selection of a
new computer catalog and circulation sys
tem in partnership with Morton Grove,
Skokie and Waukegan Libraries. The new
computers will offer access to our four col
lections, at least three magazine indexes,
and a survey of holdings of the 44 North
Suburban Library System public libraries
and will act as an access point for the Inter
net. The new system should be installed by
July and fully operational before September.
* Published Deerfield authors: we don't
want to leave you out. Please contact Sally
Seifert or Martha Sloan at 945-3311.
Thom Morris has joined the staff part time in Reference. For 20 years he
was Director of the Trinity College Library. A Deerfield resident, Morris
also works as a Local Area Network System Administrator and Librarian
at Northbrook Library. He holds 3 masters degrees: Math from University
of Illinois, Theology from Trinity and Library Science from Rosary. With
this range of interests Morris has selected librarianship because "I like
libraries and the people I work with; When I go home I feel I've helped
people and this is a good feeling."

Tuva or Bust ! Richard Feynman's
Last Journey by Ralph Leighton.
Jack Hicks leads a discussion of this
journey to one of the most remote
places on earth, a decade long quest
by fellow drummer Leighton and
Nobel prize winning physicist
Feynman.
May 12
Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton
An American classic, Wharton's
story centers on a love triangle
entangled by 19th century con
straints and eternal emotions.
Martha Sloan, Head of Reader
Services and Book Discussion leader,
has authored a chapter in The Book
Group, a Thoughtful Guide to Forming and
Enjoying a Stimulating Book Discussion
Group. She said, "In a strange way books
provide the safety of distance but also
are an avenue to our more real selves."
(Continued from p.I)
remembers cutting the tops and bottoms
from tin cans and squashing them flat. I
remember savings bonds and stamps being
sold in the movie theaters, my Mom dealing
with the reality of rationed food, clothing and
shoes, and my Dad's despair at getting gas
and tires. My grandfather and my brothers
and I went to one rally to donate aluminum
pans that was like a scene from a Wagner
opera—bonfires, martial music, and a pile of
aluminum stacked up to the sky. Boy Scouts
was like army camp, leisure travel was
restricted, and fear of Zeros, Stukas, and
Messerschmitts was something we talked
about every day. I don't have the same childhood memories my daughters do and they
can't point out Tarawa, Anzio or Bataan.
So when they say times have changed, I know
they are for the better. The troops that stormed
ashore on D-Day are now our senior citizens and
their grandchildren will not have their child
hoods stolen by war. The resolve and singleness
of purpose that guided our country in those days
will probably never be experienced by any of us
again. The dedication and inventiveness the
country exhibited in the 1940's now must be
rechanneled into making the USA the world
leader in all areas of life, not just the military/sci
entific arena where we excelled like no other.

„
^ book 1 am recommending this month is
Technology by Neil Postman, subtitled The Surren-
der of Culture to Technology. The author
asserts the country is grappling for human
values and answers in a social system where
technology has been granted sovereignty
over our institutions—science as salvation,
scientist as shaman. Postman, who has
become one of our most interesting social
analysts, has an earlier essay, Amusing Our
selves to Death, dealing with a society intent
on recreation and amusement, with disre
gard for values, productivity, or self-worth.
The boys of Omaha Beach knew a thing or
two about values, productivity, and selfworth and we should never forget it.
Jack Alan Hidks, Administrative Librarian
�Long Playing Records to Go
Time marches on and new technologies
move in. The library's long playing records
are deteriorating physically and are no
longer receiving enough usage to warrant
shelf space. We are withdrawing the collec
tion. If you wish to purchase any, we'll
have a sale the first weekend in June.
Building Renovation
Thanks for your patience....Building reno
vation has been protracted but is ending.
This includes an ADA compliant elevator,
accessible restrooms, etc. A new electric
door will be installed at the entrance this
summer. The Library Board is currently
studying a renovation plan that will move
the fiction collection downstairs and
increase our public space by almost 20%.
News
to Note
The Board approved a new meeting
room policy since the library now has
only one meeting room. The policy
limits public use to duly constituted
Deerfield sponsored, non profit
organizations. Space can be reserved
only 2 months in advance. See Gail
Kroll for details.
Please bring your Deerfield library
card to check out materials. Without it,
you will need i.d. and it will cost 25<t.
Also, employer/host must take full
responsibility for acquiring and main
taining a library card for a nanny,
au pair or foreign exchange student.
Reminder: The State Legislature has
passed a bill that restricts use of a non
resident fee card to the library where it
is purchased.
