The Danish comic piano player, Victor Borge,

that were often the literal interpretation of the writ

�Librarian's DesH continued
it must to cope with the nature of a
dynamic society—dead languages
reflect dead cultures. The way our
language is evolving, what we are
soon going to have is a cross
between Victor Borge and the brutal
language in Anthony Burgess’s book
about a ruthless, soul-less future, A
Clockwork Orange.
Here is a tiny sampling of the
non-words that are commonplace in
our new non-language: go to the
mat, input, surf—which is both a
computer and sports cliche,
risktaker—who is always rewarded,
cyber-anything, paradigm,
sidemantle, interactive, stake
holder—who was someone in the
Boy Scouts who helped put up your
pup tent, outsource, and the feared
outplace, ecosystem, access,
gatekeeper—who is good at getting
money in but never letting it out,
enable, empower, supercomputer,
virtual reality, cheese food—
whatever that is, learning curve—
which I always seem to be behind,
parameters, interface, share,
enriching, network, downsize—the
dreaded catch-word of the 90’s,
advocacy, quality time, information
superhighway which we all surf. Oh,
these words and the sentences they
bloat—they’re just so, so meaningful.
I use what I call the Kentucky
Colonel test when I read jargon and
drivel--if I can insert the phrase Ken
tucky Colonel in place of the catch
phrase and the sentence still makes
sense, you’re in trouble.
What I hear and see falls into about
four general categories: the increasing
use of non-words, the horrible mispro
nunciation you hear on television, the
overuse of cliches, and finally—maybe
the worst—the worthless habit of turning
nouns into verbs.Throw in the computerisms and sports terms that have crept
into daily usage and you find a language
that is losing the power of expression.
What is it we want from language? First
and foremost the language must be of
specificity to avoid ambiguity (yet not
mimic German). But we crave and
demand more; there must be beauty—
even grandeur from our language The
English language has always been
renowned for its power, beauty, and
expressiveness—it has the potential to
stir our souls—the most lyrical and
descriptive language on earth.
We have always welcomed words
from other languages, because they
often express an emotion or feeling
better than old stale words. Terms like
bungalow and badminton from India
have become staples of the English
language. I would suggest that up to
now our language has followed a
natural transformation to make words
more effective or expressive. The word

pollution now prevalent is not that
kind of transformation—instead of
making words more effective, the
drive is to make words more
accessible. Accessible language
panders to the lowest instincts, not
the most noble, to produce a
meaningless choreography of banal
words. Maybe the use of non
language is directly proportional to
our efforts when we try to simplify an
increasingly complex world, or when
we just shirk our duty to think.
Language is probably the most
perfect barometer we have for a
society; it reflects exactly and totally
who we are and what we think. Our
language has begun to emulate our
domestic architecture—no front
porch, but elaborately enclosed
backyards. Maybe our language is a
perfect metaphor for today; it reveals
all that we are willing or able to
reveal about ourselves. I would like
to think otherwise; but words speak
louder than hopes and words are
definitely losing as we surf our way
out into the mainstream of the
information superhighway. What will
the permanent barometer of our
language record about us?

L
ibrary users have asked my reaction to
the two new book stores in
Deerfield—Barnes and Noble and
Borders. I don't know what the patrons
anticipated, but I do know they are
generally surprised by my answer. I guess
they think that I'll be overcome with gloom.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
The presence of Barnes and Noble, Borders
and Crown in our community is great!
Books are my life, as they
are for most librarians.

access to books and ideas,
the better. There are so
many fine books printed every year that we
never see in our review media, so many
subjects that are only partially available
through trade jobbers. Bookstores in the
community—this is a librarian's dream—to
be a able to handle and browse so many
new books.
I am proud to be a librarian in a community
that three major bookstore chains have
targeted as a productive market. We in the
library always knew we had great library
users, but to have three major
conglomerates validate this by locating
stores here is a compliment from the savvy
marketers of the business world. It
acknowledges what we always knew—
Deerfield is a book-centered community.
The bookstores and the library have
similarities and significant differences. We
have a deeper and wider collection of
fiction, they have a wider spread of newer

display, marketing and customer service.
The fact that Barnes and Noble has chosen to
schedule book discussions and children's
story hours head-to-head with our
established programs is taken by us as the
sincerest form of flattery. The one tool that
any of them have—that has obvious and
exciting implications for libraries—is Borders'
music access computer. I have been asked to
rate the three stores, but that would be
bordering on an endorsement.
Thank you!
A Sam and Mary Fosdick Memorial Garden
of perennial flowers will be planted in front of
the library this summer.
Thanks to AAUW, Author Gertrude Rubin,
and Junior Women's Club of Deerfield who
have been among book donors this year.
We don't have a coffee shop (yet) and 1 love
that aroma as I browse. But we have two things
that are far better within a half a block—the
great Deerfield Bakery and that Deerfield
institution—Harry's Grill. So when the spirit
moves you, visit the three terrific bookstores
we have in Deerfield, and then visit the
Deerfield Public Library. Great food for mind
and body a half block apart. I think you'll agree
we stack up pretty well to our commercial
bookstore neighbors and we're free.
A final note—the firecracker annual report we
handed out on July 4,1992 has won the Library
Public Relations Council Division I Award as
the best (small library) annual report in the
country last year. Congratulations to Sally
Seifert, our Public Relations Director.

Winter, 1992-93
Across the
Librarian's Desk
T
his month ends my twentieth year at
the Deerfield Public Library. Many
people have asked about the changes
I've seen in those short twenty years.
There have been tremendous observable
physical changes: Lake Cook Road was a
two lane country road, no Northbrook
Court, you could park
alone Deerfield and
w I wonder
Waukegan Roads in the
what the
downtown area, of course
future
holds
the gun club blasted away
for
us?
M
every weekend and a pony
ride farm was located
there. The schools were growing to cope
with a burgeoning student body (some
things have come full circle), and I could
ride my bicycle out my back door all the
way to Crystal Lake and never see a car.
Traffic now defines us. Sara Lee, a good
neighbor for forty years, is gone and the
fragrance of the evening baking only a
memory. The brickyard and the boat storage
is forgotten by most of us. Volkswagen of
North America was headquartered in
Deerfield, but they left before the Lake Cook
Corridor developed.
DEERFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY
Effects of System Budget Cuts
n the last issue of "Browsing" the
State of Illinois Budget cuts for
Library Systems were discussed.
Many residents have asked how those
cuts are affecting service at the Deerfield
Public Library. The services were
previously delivered by the North
Suburban Library System but now the
Deerfield staff must do all the leg and
paper work.
i
has been seriously disrupted. A long-term
solution will be to develop a new
magazine directory, new computer
products giving access and locations,
additional local spending, and increased
reliance on local networking. This will cost
Deerfield money at the local level and
deflect resources. What these costs are
will be determined by experience over the
next year.
The service cuts have a direct impact upon
delivery of magazine articles, books, and
audio visual materials Deerfield does not
own. Right now the Library is coping by
using the telephone to arrange direct loans
and access to non-library materials. The
North Suburban Library System has
instituted new protocols and procedures
for sharing other libraries' collections and
is in the process of compiling a computer
product to aid this sharing.
Students of all ages, retirees, working
people, and businesses have all felt the
cuts. Many residents have voiced anger at
library staff for cuts the staff had no voice
in making. The Library does not have
unlimited resources to make up this
shortfall. The question of whether or not
the measures detailed above will return
library services to the levels we used for
twenty years is as yet unanswered. What
is known is that the way we are currently
coping will the shortfall is ineffective and
expensive, often resulting in patron
disappointment. A patchwork fix will not
replace coordinated statewide efforts. ■
These are stop gap measures at best
because service levels and resident
satisfaction have been reduced.
Coordinated and systematic library service
REMINDER
A more telling comment would be how
much Deerfield has remained as it was:
The same interesting residents, who show

10 discount stores, out-of-town outlets

I would never have expected that our school
age population would rise again, but it is
surely doing so, nor would I have predicted
all the traffic, yet Lake Cook and Waukegan
Roads seem to be the axle of the universe on
any given rush hour. Computers have
entered our lives and the library too— never
to go away, I assume. My old departed friend
Sam Fosdick used to say that Deerfield
would become merely a collection of "real
estate offices, hair parlors, and grocery
stores" as suburbia moved beyond us to the
western suburbs and our real shopping was
done elsewhere. I wonder.

The residents have made the Library an
interesting career for me. I have gotten to
know so many of them— they have
stimulated and guided me, they have made
this job worthwhile. The many children I
helped twenty years ago are now adults and
give me my greatest satisfaction. I wonder if
the next twenty years will go past as quickly
as the first? As to the future, I haven't got a
clue except I know it won't be boring. ■

Across the
Librarian's Deski
Librarians are beguiled by the idea
that they are harbingers, arbiters, and
decision makers when it comes to
taste, culture, education and all things
literary. Especially in the growth and
development of their own library's
collection and services. I am as guilty
of this as any librarian. Sometimes
events bring you down to earth.
This past winter saw the deaths of
two long-time Deerfield Library
patrons — Marion Cole and Sam Fosdick. They were both great library
users who guided us, chided us, and
led the Library to provide many of the
materials and services we offer today.

Summer Reading Club begins June 13. There will be
three groups this summer — (all grade levels indicate the
grade the child will enter in the fall):
READ-TO-ME: Pre-school through 1st grade.
EARLY READERS: 2nd and 3rd grade.
OLDER READERS: 4th grade and up.
Save the Date: August 1,10 a.m. for Discovery Day:
Games, treats, and activities to celebrate a summer of good
reading.
Both Marion and Sam knew how to
use libraries, what a library should be,
and how a librarian can mediate and
facilitate the use of the collection to
the public. They were both lifetime
readers.
Reflecting on Sam and Marion as
patrons and people makes me realize
how important and close the relation
ship is that develops between a
library, its librarians and the residents.
Librarians often forget the tremendous
impact the patrons have on what we
do, who we are, and how we do it. I
guess modern marketing would say

• Librarian's Desk (continued fromP. i)
we are client-driven. In the case of
Sam and Marion I would say we
were gently led to do our best.
Marion's influence on reference
service in this Library cannot be
overstated. She insisted on a high
level of service, interlibrary loan, and
a strong reference collection. Marion
never accepted a lame or tired
answer in lieu of real service. She
helped set our standards for refer
ence and made us live up to them.
Sam was a dapper and urbane
gentleman who expected exactly the
same high level of service. His rogu
ish but gentle sense of humor often
concealed a very incisive message.
Sam's advice about our Business Ref
erence Room has changed how that
room is organized, what we have in
there, and how the staff interprets
the collection to the public.
Knowing and working with Mar
ion and Sam for so many years was
always interesting. Many people
think a public library would be a
great place to work if you could just
keep the public out. It is wonderful
patrons like Marion and Sam who
make library work and developing
that library — its services and collec
tion — so rewarding and such a plea
sure. There are so many people who
have influenced us over such a long
period of time that it would be hard to
name them all. Libraries are indeed peo
ple places. Two of them, Marion and
Sam, both people I am glad to have
known, will be missed by all of us.

A statistic that sur
faced as we pre
pared our "Brief
History of the
Deerfield Library"
— In 1930 we cir
culated 1000 books
per month; in 1991’92, we circulated
1000 per day! Yet Deerfield Library
takes the smallest bite (2.5%) of the
Village property tax payment and
serves all ages.
***
William Cormier reports a record 250
people came to the library for free tax
assistance offered by the AARP and
the IRS this year. That's 100 more than
last year. Changes in the tax laws this
year may have prompted the increased
activity.

them in the hot sun or the hot car.

The Caruso Junior High Student
Council presented a check for over $700
to the Library's Amy Simon Fund. The
money, raised in a teachers' walkathon,
"A Book for Amy," was planned by Ida
Greenfield. Amy died last summer as
the result of an automobile accident.
The book fund is targeted to Amy's
interest in foreign lands.
