Youth Services
Department renovation
begins!
There will be much activity in
the Youth Services Department
this summer. The summer read
ing club, Time Trek Readers
and numerous activities (see
page three) will be humming
along during major department
renovation. At least one portion
of the area will be kept open to
patrons at all times and, when
necessary, programs will be held
in the upstairs meeting room.
Donald F. Wrobleski of DF
Wrobleski Architects will
be principal architect for the
renovation. Wrobleski was
architect of the remodeled
Fiction Room, and he will be
extending the 20th century
modernist classic design and
palette of light and materials of
the Fiction Room into the
Youth Services area while
specifics will be different. New
carpet and furniture, more win
dows and angled (faux) sky
light should brighten the room
without structural work. Stack
space for books will increase
by 1/3. “The idea is to make it
more comfortable, efficient and
organized” said Wrobleski. The
project should be completed by
fall.

New Policies for YOU!!
In response to patron requests, we are making two important changes at the library:
1. Starting immediately, you may borrow fiction books of over 400 pages for three
weeks. Formerly you only had one week to read a novel which was up to 500 pages!
2. Beginning the week of September 13 we will be open on Fridays until 6 p.m. The
library has always closed at 5 p.m. on Fridays. The rest of the library’s hours will
remain the same.
Library News
North Suburban Library System (NSLS) Director Sarah
Long, Riverwoods attorney Bruce Huvard, Deerfield
Administrative Librarian Jack Hicks,
NSLS president Robert B. Lyons.
At the North Suburban Library
System Annual Banquet,
Library Advocate Awards were
presented to Jack Hicks, Bruce
Huvard and William Seiden
(Library Board Treasurer) for
establishing a private library
corporation in Riverwoods,
giving residents with no library
service the opportunity to
obtain access to full library
services at the Deerfield Public
Library.
�Across the
Librarian’s Desk
I
n 1968 a friend of mine, Rowland
Higgins, who now teaches mathe
matics at Cambridge, England, wrote
a letter to the London Times suggesting
that all Olympic competitors—from all
nations—march and compete in identical
white uniforms. This view was not dri
ven by post-modern nostalgia but by a
genuine fear that amateur sport was
becoming far too politicized and profes
sional. The letter was printed in the
crank file.
How prescient Rowland was. The
Olympics truly did descend to perilous
political depths as Iron Curtain countries
and western democracies struggled with
each other for political dominance. The
result was every imaginable attempt to
subvert the spirit of the Olympic Creed
and the rules of fair competition as state
run machines immersed themselves in
blood doping, drugs, surgeries, gender
ambivalence, ruthless competition, bro
ken lives- making the Olympics a sham.
The end of the Cold War did not end the
abuses, merely transferred them to the
commercial arena. The day 30 year old,
hardened, professional basketball players
suited up as the “dream team” was a low
spot for amateur athletics. The charm,
naivete, innocence and the purity of ama
teur youth was replaced with professional
greed—and not just on the part of the
athletes. The warning signs were there
but we chose to ignore them in our lust
for gold medals. What a descent from
1936 when Eleanor Holm Janett was dis
missed from the Olympic swimming
team for drinking champagne on the boat
to Europe. Perhaps there is no value in
innocence, amateurism, or honesty any
longer.
Corporate giants around the world turned
the Olympics into a bottom feeder’s food
frenzy. Logos, sponsorship, glamour and
hype attached themselves permanently to
the Olympics at America’s 1984 Los
Angeles gala and provided a fatal poison.

Many of these sports companies exploit vir
tual slave labor in Third World countries;
since that is unpalatable we avert our gaze.
Instead of a once-in-a-lifetime experience
for wide-eyed young athletes, jaded profes
sionals now make a living out of being full
time Olympians, appearing at Olympics
after Olympics until they are too creaky to
make a go of it, effectively denying youth
and innocence a chance. The other extreme
is twelve year old gymnasts with severe
overuse injuries, and anorexia, from too
many hours on the bars. Shame, shame, on
all of us.
Sunday/Holiday Closings
Closed: Sundays beginning June 13
through September 5.
On Sunday, July 4 we will be serving

Corporate America and the desire to make a
buck are not a bad thing. We all know the
benefits of a burgeoning economy, but—and
this is a big but—there are places where
greed, money, bribes and corruption do not
belong. They do not belong in any way,
shape, or form with the Olympics. Coiporate
power has no place in amateur competition.
Proof of this point is the irony that the last
great moment in sports for the U.S.A. was
the completely amateur team that won the
Editor: Sally Seifert
The disgrace now brought to the Olympics
by the Salt Lake City bribery scandals
reveals a worldwide free-fall from ethics and
standards. It seems now, in the aftermath,
that everyone involved either takes bribes,
pays bribes, looks the other way, or just
doesn’t care. Bribery and corruption are, of
course, a way of life in all too many coun
tries. The whole point of the Olympics was
designed to prove that honest, fair, competi
tion in sport, could be a starting point for
honest, fair dealings between nations. What
the Olympics has become is a mirror of our
selves, nationalistic, grasping, greedy—a
charade, not a pretty picture. Perhaps the
Olympic motto of Higher, Faster, Farther
should be replaced with “just get it.”
Is it too late to try Rowland’s idea of white
suits?

You Deserve the Best, and so do all our other borrowers:
Would you believe? We send out $100 in postage weekly for overdue notices (it
used to be $15 a week). Damaged library materials number into the thousands per
year. Water damaged books start a major deterioration process. When cassettes are
left in the sun in a hot car, tapes melt. A dog chewed comer shortens the life of a
book as pages break down. Sometimes we get books that have taken a bath along
with their borrowers...not good! Patrons must pay for damages plus a processing fee.
Could everybody please be more careful with library materials?
