Across the Librarian's Dest^
On Sunday, April 5th, the Library
will celebrate its 65th birthday. We
will do this symbolically on the first
day of National Library Week. We
will have bands and ice cream and
music, but the real celebration will be
the recognition of the people who
have made us the exemplary library
we are today. I know there are a lot of
people to thank.
We know many of the people we
want to thank during the recognition
part of our celebration: Bob York, Tom
Parfitt, Mary Mazur, Pat Horne and
Keith Nickoley, are the easy names.
What we really need help with is all
the names of all the people who
helped pass out handbills, held coffee
hours, spoke at schools — those who
worked tirelessly behind the scenes to
pass the numerous referendums, bond
issues, special legislation and court
challenges that built this Library.
It is often forgotten that this Li
brary has had a long and colorful his
tory full of wonderful personalities
and issues. We have seen numerous
tax fights, boundary squabbles, cen
sorship battles, "Save Our Library "
campaigns, along with agitated re
former candidates. The present build
ing and the services we offer did not
just happen — they were the result of
long, hard work by many concerned
and visionary residents. The Library
has withstood the test of time.
If you know the names of those
who made this Library possible,
please take the time to write them
down and let me know what they did
— large and small — because every
one is important. We want to

recognize them in an appropriate way
on our 65th birthday. The Library is 65
years old and they made it happen.
We owe a debt of gratitude to those
head Librarians who founded, nur
tured, and developed the Deerfield
Public Library. Starting in 1927 and
progressing to today there have been:
Mrs. Frank Russo, Mrs. Chester Wolf
— for over 25 years, Mrs. Helen
Haney, and the builder of this Library,
Mrs. Suzanne Whetstone. They estab
lished a Library that serves the com
munity well and is a source of great
pride.
We also want to take time to ac
knowledge the lasting contribution
made to this community by a single
individual. The Library will name its
Young People's Department in honor
of Dr. Diego Redondo. Since Dr. Re
dondo touched and enriched the lives
of so many of us — especially our
children — it is fitting to create a per
manent memorial for him. We will
dedicate the Department in his honor
during our Birthday celebration.
Please let me know those names,
and please come to our Party. You'll
come for the nostalgia, but stay for the
fun.

BROWSING
at the DEERFIELD
PUBLIC LIBRARY
inter 1990
Vol 6, No. 1
920 Waukegan Rd.
Deerfiled. IL 60015
the
'& 72eA&
Two things happened recently that have
made me unusually sensitive to people’s
reading levels and skills-and their ge neral
lack of knowledge about our society.
The first was the PBS Civil War
television series-which was engrossing and
disappointing to me. As a lifelong Civil'War
junkie I was overjoyed by a vastly entertain
ing program. But it did not clarify, give
sequence or add coherence to the Civil
War. Events that happened simultaneous
ly were treated as if they happened two
years apart. Many viewers do not know
which side William T. Sherman was on, or
that Grant captured Vicksburg the same
day as Gettysburg-yet paroled his 10,000
prisoners back into the Confederacy.
What we need in this electronic age is in
formation clarification-not mystification.
The other eye opener was one of the
most effective and intelligent people I have
ever known-a naturalized U.S. citizen^feisked me to compile a list of books that
^^vould fill in what he perceives as gaps in his
overall knowledge of our country, and raise
his consciousness about items of cultural
literacy. The idea of a general paucity of
cultural knowledge has been a hotly
debated topic among social scientists for
several years.
I understand that a specialized, techni
cal education can definitely lead to
deficiencies in general knowledge, and that
being raised in a very different culture may
skew your interpretations of American
traditions. As a Librarian, I see technical
education and cultural diversity as two of
the key elements that have made America
a great society.
A lack of reading is a major problem
that confronts us today. Television, videos,
ten second sound bites and fifteen minutes
of celebrity, do not impart the same cul
tural identity and awareness-of who we are
and how we got that way-as effectively as
reading. Television is the primary way most
people get the news and their other information.
The book I am recommending this
month is Who Reads Literature? by
Nicholas Zill and Marianne Winglee. This
provoking analysis makes it clear that there
^^are very large numbers of citizens who canMkot read, and even larger numbers of those
who can but will not read. This malaise is
serious and will negatively affect our fu
ture.

Administrative Librarian
Shelby Yastrow - Deerfield’s Own Author
Start the new year right by welcoming
Deerfield's own-corporate lawyer Shelby
Yastrow and best selling author of Undue
Influence on Tuesday evening, January 8 at
7:30 p.m. Yastrow, whose new "Lite Lawyer
novel is one of the snappiest courtroom
capers yet" (Kirkus Reviews), was the sub
ject of a front page/fealure story in North
Shore magazine.
His novel has hit the Chicago best seller
list and is being considered for a movie. A
gifted storyteller, he will share with us why
he wrote this "yarn spinning" novel, how he
got it published and what he tried to ac
complish. Our witty and personable
neighbor will be feted at an autograph
reception following his talk. Make reserva
tions now!
Of Importance to You
Deerfield Library has received a per
capita grant of $17,432.00 from the Il
linois State Library. Slate regulations
require that this money be dedicated
to projects that expand or enhance our
services. The money will be used to
sponsor adult programs, fund the
newsletter and purchase foreign lan
guage books.
If you do not have your library card with
you to check out library materials, you
must have some form of identification.
All new adult fiction of less than 400 pages
now circulates for one week. A faster
turnaround time should satisfy
patrons’ desire to obtain new books. If
there is no one waiting to read the book
and the book is not overdue, it may be
renewed for seven days. Renewals may
be in person or by telephone. After six
months, new adult fiction is loaned for
three weeks.
Just like the video store: please remember
to rewind your library videotapes
before returning them. Do not place
videos in the book drop; bring them in.
Deerfield cardholders, over 18 years of
age, may borrow up to 4 videos for
three days, at a cost of $1 per video;
overdue videos are $2 a day.

DEERFIELD LIBRARY
SALUTES THE PAST
A series of exhibits saluting the history
of Deerfield and the State of Illinois are
featured at the library during the winter
months. The Deerfield Historical Society
has donated two exhibits: 1) a focus on the
history of our town (Nov.-Dee.) and 2)
Deerfield area architecture (Jan.).
"Documenting 250 Years of Illinois His
tory", an Illinois State Archives exhibit of
documents, letters, maps, broadsides and
photographs will grace the library in early
January.
Sign of the Times
A new sign at the entrance to the library
now makes the library more visible from
Waukegan Road. The sign was a gift from
an anonymous donor.

A FEW HINTS ON USE OF
THE LIBRARY’S ONLINE
CATALOG
The library’s or.iine public catalog, rep
resents holdings of books, sound
recordings, and videos, not magazines or
newspapers. The online catalog contains
the collections of Skokie, Morton Grove,
and Waukegan Libraries as well as Deer
field.
You can limit your search to Deerfield
by typing in LIB either as a separate com
mand or as part of another command: for
example, LIB/SUB/COOKERY. The
command ALL will resume the search of
all four libraries’ collections.
Consult the red "quick subject guide to
shelf location" at each terminal. This book
helps you to find the right words to type into
the computer for a subject search.
Example: You won’t find a list of books
on GREEK MYTHOLOGY by searching
under that heading in the subject files of the
computer. But, if you look under "GREEK
MYTHOLOGY" in the red subject book
near the terminal, the book will tell you to
type in "MYTHOLOGY, GREEK" in
stead.
If you just want to browse the library in
a certain nonfiction area, the red book also
leads you to call numbers associated with
specific subject headings.
If you have trouble searching the com
puter, ask the Reference Librarian for
help!
Income Tax

PHONOLOG/
LIST-O-TAPES
Have you ever needed to find
the performer of a particular
song or the name of the album
or tape in which the song
appears? Deerfield Public
Library has useful sources to
help you find music-related in
formation. Phonolog is a looseleaf, subscription service which
gives information on songs (com
poser/artist/label/album number
/album the song appears on),
artists (albums/singles), and
albums (artist/label/album number/songs). List-O-Tapes has the
same information for tapes
(cassette/8-track/reel-to-reel).
The main body of these
works consists of pop titles, pop
artists, and pop albums or tapes.
"Pop" includes rock, country, R
& B, soul, and jazz. There are sep
arate sections for band, Christ
mas, children's, sacred, Hawaii
an, classical, and other categories
of music. There is also an alpha
betically arranged list of record/
tape companies in the front of
the work.
Phonolog and List-O-Tapes
are located on top of our vertical
file.
TAX ASSISTANCE
Free tax assistance will again
be offered by trained graduates
of A. A. R.P.'s VITA program.
Beginning February 6th from
1-4 PM on Tuesdays and Fridays

Eleanor Dawe Room. They will
