BROWSING
at the DEERFIELD
PUBLIC LIBRARY
Summer 1988
Vol. 3, No. 2
920 Waukegan Rd.
Deerfield, IL 60015
Executive Librarian Retires This Summer
When Suzanne Whetstone, Ad
ministrative Librarian, came to Deerfield
Public Library 20 years ago, the library oc
cupied one half of what is now the City Hall
Annex, encompassing 3447 square feet and
containing 25,600 books.
Now planning to retire in early August,
she leaves a fully automated, active,
modem library of 32,000 square feet and
125,350 library items (books, records,
tapes, etc.) Circulation of 230,710 in 1987
is very high compared to the collection size.
She has supervised every detail of this
evolution.
“My first three years at Deerfield were
so hectic I didn’t think I'd survive,” she
chuckled. A building consultant had just
completed a survey of requirements for a
new library, and her task was to follow
through. She interviewed architects, helped
design the new library before there was
even a site, worked with the board and
community committee to pass the required
referendum and, with the board, planned
the exterior work, furniture and equipment.
It was also a “terrific undertaking” to weed
and build the collection as well as develop
ordering procedures. With a competent
staff, she revised the card catalog. The
reference department at that time consisted
solely of encyclopedias, and reference ser
vice as we know it today had not
commenced.
Mrs. Whetstone’s biggest thrill was
opening day at the new library, 920
Waukegan, on October 3, 1971. “People
couldn't believe it when we opened the
doors for the first time,” she said. “One of
my greatest joys was when one member of
the community who had opposed the
building, said it was the best thing that ever
happened to Deerfield.
As libraries nationwide evolved into
more than just books, so did Deerfield.
Records, interlibrary loan service,
reciprocal borrowing, prints, tapes, puzzles
and programs were offered. Development
of the collection was guided by the interests
of the community. In 1974, the library
pioneered by installing a computer in the
reference department for online informa
tion retrieval.
Heading toward automation, the long
*i
process of circulation and the catalog “go
ing online” began in 1980, in cooperation
with three other area libraries. The project
was a tremendous one requiring establish
ment of a computer center and staff (at
Skokie). Deerfield staff worked on many
new special projects, giving more than was
normally required in their jobs. “The staff
has always been good about pilch-ing in and
I must thank them all.” Circulation went
online a year ago. “That day was anticlimatic. We didn't know how the public
would take to it and worse than that the
computer was down until the last minute!
recalled Mrs. Whetstone.
Directing a public library is like running
a business, according to Mrs. Whetstone.
“Acting as technical adviser, solving pro
blems, hiring staff and enabling them to do
their jobs are not the basics you learn in
library school.”
Greeting visitors to Deerfield Public
Library has been another duty of the Ad
ministrative Librarian. While all sorts of
library patrons and a few unwanted
members of the animal world have visited,
the most prestigious guest in the past 20
years has been Nancy Reagan. At the
library for a panel discussion with members
of the Deerfield Citizens for Drug
Awareness, Mrs. Reagan caused a stir of
tv and news reporters and secret service
men. The intricacies of this event and play
ing hostess to the president’s wife were
among the highlights of Mrs. Whetstone’s
administration.
Mrs. Whetstone has particularly enjoyed
the family feeling that exists among the
staff. “It’s a fine staff and a close staff and
we’ve been through a lot of good and bad
together.” Working with an excellent
library board, she praises Thomas Parfitt
who has been president throughout most of
her Deerfield career. She has also enjoyed
working with other North Suburban library
administrators with whom she shared ideas
and problems. Active in the American
Library Association, and the North Subur
ban Library System's administrative library
board, Mrs. Whetstone feels she will pro
bably continue to be involved
with libraries and community service in the
coming years. She plans to move to South
1f
SUSAN WHETSTONE
Bend, Indiana.
A native of River Forest, IL, Mrs.
Whetstone received her Masters Degree in
Library Science from Rosary College. She
was Head of the Humanities Reference
Department at the University of Notre
Dame before coming to Deerfield.
‘ ‘As a whole, the community appreciates
the Deerfield Library. It is now time for
someone else with new and fresh ideas,”
said Mrs. Whetstone. A committee of the
Board is presently conducting a national
search for a new administrative librarian
and hopes to have one in place by fall.

�Library Rates High
In Citizen Survey
Results arc in! The community sees the
library in a positive light.
Last September, the Library Research
Center of the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign conducted a citizen
survey for Deerfield Public Library. They
questioned use of the library, frequency and
major purposes for use, services of the
library, and barriers to use.
Of those residents randomly selected to
answer the survey questionnaire, 46.1 % or
461 persons completed and returned the
questionnaire. An unusually high per cent:
93% of respondents had used Deerfield
Library in the past year. Reading for leisure
was indicated by 52.9% as the most impor
tant purpose for visiting the library. 18.4%
used the library for work needs, and 12.2%
for school needs. The remaining 16.5%
used for other purposes, i.e. audio/visual
materials, bringing children, etc.
The typical respondent visited the library
between 12 and 51 times per year and read
one book per month or less. Library users
gave the library a favorable overall rating
as indicated in the following exerpt from
survey results:
“In general, how would you rate the services (facilities, collections, programs,
assistance by staff, etc.) of the Deerfield
Public Library?
Above average
292/63.9%
Average........
131/28.7%
Below Average
. .10/2.2%
Don’t Know . .
. .24/5.3%
TOTAL..........
.457/100%
A list of individual services also re
ceived favorable ratings.
Examination of reasons for lack of use of
the library showed such personal barriers
as “lack of time” and “no need for library
services” to be most influential. Barriers
under the control of the library such as
parking, hours and location accounted for
only a small amount of lack of use.
An unusually high percent of respondents
who were library users were college
educated (90%) and nearly 40% had done
post graduate work. Respondents were
predominantly managers and professionals
(45.4%) or homemakers (24.9%).
A citizen survey is conducted every five
years to provide the library administrator,
board and staff with information about the
community that is needed to make informed
decisions about programs and services.
For Adults!
Devour A Book and Your Lunch Too
at Library Summer Book Reviews!
Virginia Carter, Deerfield resident, will present a series of book reviews with dramatiza
tions at the library, on Wednesday mornings, June 22, July 6 and July 20 at 11 a.m. Mrs.
Carter, active in many local organizations, has taught school and worked in community
theater.
For the informal book presentations, the library will provide a beverage, and those who
attend are welcome to bring a brown bag lunch. Mrs. Carter promises an exciting look and
some sound effects that will make three fascinating books of our time come alive. For those
who wish to borrow the books in advance, the library will have copies available. If young
mothers wish to escape into the world of fiction by attending the series, the Youth Services
Department will provide library activities from 11 a.m. to noon for preschool age children.
The books to be reviewed will be:
June 22: A Perfect Spy, another John LeCarre blockbuster novel by the author of The
Spy Who Came in From the Cold. This is much more than intriguing espionage. It entails
an entire lifetime of influences on a human personality. Magnus Pym is a shameful traitor,
but also a lovable, charming, admired diplomat, husband and father. He manages to betray
the British Intelligence community for three decades but at last they are on to him. What
will he do?
July 6: Prince of Tides, by Pat Conroy—A powerful novel of a southern family with
a beautiful, social climbing mother and a violent father. One son tells their story as he goes
to New York to seek help for his suicidal sister. A scintillating best seller, it is told with
insight, compassion and humor.
July 20: Cold Sassy Tree, by Olive Ann Burns was called “no less than brilliant" by
the Boston Globe. Cold Sassy, Georgia, never a whirlpool of excitement, takes a scandalous
turn when widower, E. Rucker Blakeslee, a well to do merchant, elopes with his milliner,
half his age and a Yankee! This is a delicious story told through the eyes of an adolescent boy.
Plan to attend the series by registering in advance at the library, 945-3311.
Book Not In Deerfield? We’ll Borrow
There are two North Suburban Library
System (NSLS) services the library pro
vides when a patron needs books,
periodical articles or some other materials
not owned by Deerfield Public Library.
One is interlibrary loan. With our GEAC
Computer Catalogs, there are two in
terlibrary loan options. If the needed
material is owned by one of the other three
libraries in our GEAC consortium (Skokie,
Waukegan, Morton Grove), we can order
it by using the computer and the patron’s
library card number.
If it is not owned by a library in our
GEAC consortium, an order is sent to the
North Suburban office. All North Suburban
libraries, cooperative library systems and
the Illinois Library and Information Net-
work are used for interlibrary loan service.
Magazines, newspapers, annuals,
government reports, and other
periodical/serial materials not owned by
Deerfield Library can be borrowed through
the Central Serials Service. For rush situa
tions, the library’s FAX machine can send
and receive articles from Central Serials
and from other area libraries.
You must have a Deerfield Library card
to request interlibrary loan, and orders are
limited to five at a time. All photocopying
is subject to copyright law.
Both interlibrary loan and Central Serials
Service arc intended to supplement the
holdings of Deerfield Library and to extend
services to library patrons.

Adult Programs
Review
Thanks to all Deerfield residents who at
tended the Adult library programs mid
November to mid April. A variety of 15
major programs were held and the atten
dance for most programs was favorable. A
total of 475 people attended, some of whom
were visiting the library for the first time.
The most popular programs were the art
lecture on the Courtauld Collection,
Choices for a Richer Life, and Dealing with
Difficult People. The “homemaking” pro
grams on preparing for company at holiday
time and home decorating were fourth and
fifth in popularity.
During the summer, adult programming
will be lighter. A late morning book review
series is featured (see article). An exciting
line-up is in the planning stages for fall:
look fora visit from a very popular and well
known Chicago mystery writer and a morn
ing Great Books course among others.
Programs are evaluated regularly, and
aimed at social, educational and recrea
tional community interests. For program
suggestions and cooperative programs with
other community organizations, contact
Sally Brickman at the library.

COURTAULD ART PREVIEW IS DECEMBER 7
As a special holiday treat, the
Deerfield Public Library will
present a preview slide/lecture
showing of the Impressionist and
Post-Impressionist Masterpieces:
The Courtauld Collection. The
presentation will begin at 7:30
p.m. Monday, December 7 in the
Eleanore T. Dawe Room.
Through the eyes of the artists,
Lee Gibbs will present many
views of 19th century French
life with a humanistic as well as
artistic approach. The artists
specialized in animation and
flux, illuminating shadows,
heightening colors and catching
the moment. Their brushstrokes
became mist, sparkle, shimmer
and brightness.
The collection, one of the
world’s most outstanding, is on
special loan until Jan. 3 to the
Art Institute of Chicago, from
the University of London’s
Courtauld Institute. It contains
many of the most important
French paintings of the period
from 1870 to 1910. The 48
selected paintings on view
include best known and beloved
works by Manet, Degas, Monet,
Renoir, Cezanne, Seurat,
VanGogh, Gauguin, and
Toulouse Lautrec among many
others.
Lee Gibbs, guest lecturer, is a
world traveled lecturer and
photographer and contains an
enthusiasm for her subject that
has gained her a sple.ndid
reputation in the Chicago area.
This event is free and open to
the public, but reservations are
requested. To reserve space,
please notify the Circulation
Desk, 945-3311.
LIBRARY/SCHOOL COOPERATION
IS WINNING IDEA
Jack Hicks, Head of the
Reference Dept., Deerfield
Public Library, and Gerri
Spinella, Language Arts teacher
at Wilmot Junior High, District
109, co-present a program at this
years’ Midwest Federation of
Library Associations Convention
in Indianapolis. Their program,
Library Instruction for Junior
High Students, was selected as a
unique example of cooperation
between two diverse community
organizations.
For the past seven years
Deerfield Public Library and
Wilmot Jr. High have conducted
a joint research skills program.
What started out on a casual
basis has grown into a significant
learning experience for the 8th
Grade students from Wilmot Jr.
High. Librarians and teachers
alike are enthusiastic about the
success of the project, which in
the past year was nominated as a
“Winning Curriculum Idea” by
the National Association of
Professional Educators.
Students are instructed in the
use of library reference
materials, the research process,
and the compiling of
bibliographies. The goal of the
projects is to increase the
students’ library skills, assure
success instead of frustration
when the student confronts
research for the first time,
demystify the library, and make
the students feel that library
research is within their
capabilities.

FROM THE EXECUTIVE
LIBRARIAN......
Noreen Curulewski had been
here almost twenty years as
Head of Circulation when she
retired in September to a new
home in California with her
husband Frank.
Always optimistic and cheerful,
she was liked by staff and
patrons alike. She was here when
I came. Together we experienced
a referendum, a building
program, a move, expansion, and
the introduction of automation - - and those are just the
highlights!
She inspired great loyalty on the
part of her staff, and always gave
one hundred percent of herself
to whatever needed to be done.
We wish her the best of
everything and hope that she’ll
keep us posted on what’s going
on in her new life.

WHAT DR. RUTH FORGOT
TO TELL YOU: THE FACTS
On Tuesday, December 1,
Highland Park Hospital
obstetrician-gynecologist Doctor
Michael Benson will give a talk
at the library on basic sex facts.
He will review fertility,
contraception, sexually
transmitted diseases, and sexual
behavior. Dr. Benson says that
most adults in the United States
do not know the fertile time in a
woman’s menstrual cycle.
Sexually transmitted diseases are
becoming epidemic and teen
pregnancy rate in this country is
the highest in the developed
world. Despite all of the media
exposure, there are still
misunderstandings. A question
and answer session follows his
presentation which is open to
the public and begins at 7:30
p.m.
�STAFF APPOINTMENTS
Pat Palmer has been promoted
to Circulation Supervisor. She is
a Deerfield resident, with five
children, who has been
Circulation Clerk at the library
for three years.
