BROWSING
at the DEERFIELD
PUBLIC LIBRARY
920 Waukegan Rd.
Deerfield. IL 60015
Summer 1990
Vol. 5, No. 3
/lcn,<x44 t&e
What is going to happen to fiction in the
next few years? A real genre staple has been
the anti-Russian-Berlin Wall-British-spyas-savior book. Deighton, Clancy,
LeCarre, Follett, Ludlum, Higgins—the
list goes on forever—have made a cottage
industry and sizeable fortunes bashing the
USSR and the Berlin Wall. What are they
going to do without those all-powerful com
rades to knock flat? The thread of so many
books has been villain-as-non-person; hurt,
violently punished, crushed and shot to
pieces because he deserved it.
Since fiction so often closely reflects
values of the Society in which it was writ
ten, what will the future hold and will the
new array of slimy villains be from the
U.S., or Asia, or the Middle-East? These
books have angry themes of alienation, with
convenient targets for our aggressions.
Hopefully, Fiction will see a renaissance of
creative ideas with a message of reconcilia
tion, gentleness, and healing.
Can the literary conventions we have all
come to accept collapse of their own weight
like the Berlin Wall, or will we insist on a
clone-like perpetuation of the themes of
hate and alienation for the next decade? I
certainly hope that writers don't seek out
the nearest enemy and reinvent this genre
all over again. With the runaway success of
*'
the movie, “Hunt for Red October,
maybe I'm the only one who would like to
see an end to hate and fear in our everyday
reading.
The book we are recommending this
month comes from Martha Sloan, our
Readers’ Services Librarian, who thinks
very highly of Floating in my Mother’s
Palm, by Ursula Hegi, a novel which
evokes a warm and loving childhood in
postwar Germany where Hiker’s name is
never mentioned.
----- Jack Alan Hicks
Administrative Librarian
No chance for boredom when you
‘ ‘beach it” staying tuned to Station READ
for fun, reading relaxation and prizes in the
Youth Services Department this summer.
The Summer Reading Club begins the
week of June 18 and enrollment is
unlimited! Books you read will be record
ed on a jukebox folder. Preschoolers and
kindergarteners can join their own Read To
Me Club, and fill their beach bucket folder
with their favorite titles. The last day to
report on books will be Friday, July 27.
Remember: the greatest reading hits will
be found at 1990 on your Waukegan Road
dial! Grab your radio, beach chair,
sunglasses and books and join us. See
Young People’s page inside for more sum
mer fun at the library and stop in for a
summer program booklist.
So, What’s New?
Look around and you will see many new
improvements designed to serve you better.
—Photocopy charges have been reduced
from 15 cents to 10 cents.
—Lights in the upstairs meeting room
improved to raise the candlepower and
light diffusion; dimmer switches for con
venience, Juno track lights “on stage’’ so
evening program speakers can be seen as
well as heard! New microphones and sound
systems also have been installed in both
meeting rooms.
—New shelving in the fiction room to pro
vide more space for new fiction, all Large
Print books, and most of the libraries’ short
story collections. Short stories including
mysteries and science fiction are now com
ing together in one place for convenient
browsing!
—Minolta Reader Printer replaces a
17-year-old Kodak machine that no longer
is repaired by Kodak. The Minolta 605 uses
standard paper and dry copier chemicals,
zoom lens and motor drive for clearer,
cleaner microfilm copies. It makes white on
black or black on white paper copies.
Assistance from librarians is required
for use.
—Window film on the west windows, 3M
gradient densisty mylar film designed to cut
the heat penetration by 60%, cut glare by
57% and block all ultraviolet rays for
coolness and comfort in the library.
—New IBM series computer for public
use in Young People’s area.
—Coming attractions: Look for a new
system that will bring you current “hot”
books faster, and look for a new sign out
side the library to make the library’s loca
tion more visible.
�Adult Programs
Programs in the library arefree, but reser
vations are requested.
Alaska
Thursday, June 28, 7:30p.m.

with others books you have enjoyed on a
special theme.
Thursday, July 12, 10:30 a.m.: Memoirs
of Childhood, books you’ve liked, ones
you’ve missed.
Thursday, August 2, 10:30 a.m.: On-theRoad Books of the 80’s: young and old
have now joined in the Huck Finn tradition;
let’s talk about it!
And The
Winners Are
As a National Library Week celebration,
the library sponsored a Reach for a Star
Contest, asking patrons to tell which books
made an impact on their lives. The votes are
in, as Deerfield Friends of the Library
members Cathy Chay, Lois Stransky, and
Jean Lucas judged the entries:
First prize: Children and Their Parents:
Toward Maturity, by Suzanne Fremon,
1968, submitted by Joan Freedman.
This book changed the kind of parent I
was and had lasting effects not only on me
but on my children. It helped me focus on
our main goal of fostering their positive
growth and development and our relation
ship with them....
99
Second prize: Remembrance of Things
Past, by Marcel Proust, submitted by June
Hamer.
“My favorite books are the seven
volumes of Remembrance...From this
work I have learned to love everyone and
see beauty everywhere. The writing is so
brilliant, exquisite, and refined that I am not
willing for a day to pass without dipping in
to one of these volumes. In time of crisis,
remembering the priorities...helped me
respond and brought us together in work
ing to solve each problem.
99
“I Can’t Find
That Book”
TRAVEL TOUR:
Historic Homes in Chicago
Saturday, July 28, 9:00 a.m.
An air conditioned deluxe motorcoach
will meet us at the door of the Deerfield
Library at 9:00 a.m. to explore early
residential areas and homes in the City of
Chicago. Included in the tour will be a visit
to the Henry B. Clarke House built in 1836;
it is restored to its original state and filled
with authentic objects from this time
period. In addition to a complete luncheon
at Le Loup, we will be touring landmark
neighborhoods with a number of architec
tural styles, and visit a charming liv
ing/studio/gallery space of one of the city’s
creative artists in Bucktown. We shall
return to the library at 2:45 p.m. Cost of the
tour is $39.50 per person, and this nonreftindable payment (to Deerfield Library)
is required before June 27. Come along!
(What happens when you lose your
library book, cassette, etc.)
If you lose an item, our goal is to recover
the original copy whenever possible,
because replacing materials can easily cost
the library almost twice the purchase price.
Why? Because replacement involves up
dating computer files, reordering and
recataloging the book, re-labeling it with
new pocket and cover, and preparing it for
circulation.
To cover these costs, many libraries
charge patrons large fines or a processing
fee in addition to the price of the book. Here
at Deerfield, we only charge the purchase
price, but we do wait two months for the
book to be found before billing you. Dur
ing this waiting period, circulation staff will
remind you about the missing book each
lime you use your library card—unless you
beat them to it by saying you found it!
Moral of this story—the book may be in
your car, or hidden behind the VCR—keep
searching!
Third prize: Profiles in Courage, by John
F. Kennedy, submitted by Howard Richter.
“A single line, ‘of course everyone is
familiar with the courage shown by John
Adams in his defense of the British soldic
in the Boston Massacre’ stumped m
history teacher, 2 librarians and a U. of
Penn, professor. It became the term paper
of this previously non motivated high
school student leading to my original
research in Boston and the National Ar
chives before I was 17, and later an M.A.
in history.

PLANNING A VACATION?
Whether you are planning an
excursion around the Chicago
area or a voyage around the
world, Deerfield Public Library
probably has a travel guide to
help you. In addition to stand
ard guides such as Fielding's,
Fodor's, Michelin's, Frommer's,
and the Mobil series, we also
have more specialized works
covering subjects ranging from
camping to bicycle touring to
Eurail travel to shopping abroad.
Since most of our travel
guides can circulate—and fre
quently do—it is a good idea to
visit the library well ahead of
your trip. If you want to brush
up on a foreign language before
you go, we have phrase books
and dictionaries as well as for
eign language records and cas
settes (e.g. Berlitz courses). You

Recently we purchased a tele
vision set, a video cassette re
corder, and various books from
the fund set up by the family
and friends of Mr. S. E. White.
Other large memorial funds
honored the late Oben Holt and
Frank Whitcher. We welcome
these additions to our collection,
and hope that you will be re
minded of former friends when
you see the familiar commemor
ative book plates in these lasting
memorials.

�BOOKS-ON-TAPE
Some books come in more
than one format these days. On
the shelves near our video cas
settes you may have noticed a
growing phenomenon — BooksOn-Tape for use in your car cas
sette player, portable tape play
er, and home stereos.
In the past few months some
larger American publishing
houses have branched out into
this new field so that you will
soon have a choice of many
more titles added to our collec
tion which originally were re
corded in Britain. While com
muting, doing housework, or
even weeding the garden you
may listen to Gore Vidal reading
his Lincoln, or The World of
James Thurber read by Henry
Morgan.
Richard Todd, Susannah
York, Claire Bloom, Tim PiggotSmith, John Gielgud, James
Mason, and David Niven are
some of the readers who are now
in our collection. Titles are listed
in the cassette card catalog
under the subject heading "Talk
ing Books."
It is estimated that there are
about 300 million cassette tape
players in this country, so it
seems logical that stories have
joined music on bookshelves in
store and libraries. We hope they
will whet your appetite for the
books themselves and others like
them. But in the meantime,
while performing some monoto
nous, hum-drum activity, they
make the time go faster and isn't
it satisfying to accomplish two
things at once?
