John A. Anderson Retires
from Library Board
After twenty- four
years of service, John
Anderson has moved
to Wauconda. He was
a Deerfield resident
for thirty- four years.
vr
First elected in 1977
and reelected in four
subsequent elections, Anderson’s
term spanned the period from when
the library was new all the way
through the recent renovations. He
provided leadership for two library
directors: Suzanne Whetstone and
Jack Hicks. A multi-faceted man,
Anderson was a strong advocate of
freedom of speech, access by all
residents to all forms of information
and of library literacy. He pressed
for renovation and the new comput
er system and he was instrumental
in bringing videos and other AV for
mats to the library. He said, “Many
problems were solved during my
tenure. I was glad to have been able
to contribute to this great library.”

Three Board
Members Elected
Jeffrey Blumenthal, Donald Van
Arsdale and David Wolff were elected
to serve on the Deerfield Library Board
of Trustees at the April 3 Village of
Deerfield election. All three have previ
ously served on the board. David Wolff
has been a board member for 12 years and held the office of secretary. Blumenthal had
been appointed last year. Both Blumenthal and Wolff will serve six year terms. Van
Arsdale served on the Board in 1994, and will fill the remaining four year term of Yvonne
Sharpe who resigned to move to Riverwoods. All three newly elected trustees are strong
library users and supporters.
The Deerfield Library Board of Trustees holds open meetings the third Wednesday of

Under 18 Video Policy Changed
Matt requested and the board responded....
Joan Bairstow, right, Deerfield Library
Head of Circulation, gladly implemented
the board’s new video policy suggested by
Deerfield student Matt Tick, at left.
Matt Tick, Deerfield High School stu
dent, made a presentation to the library
Board of Trustees, and the Board respond

rials on their own cards. Parents must give
the permission in person, and must assume
full responsibility for return, damage, fees
or fines for materials loaned under the pol

�Across the Librarian’s Desk
The retirement of John Anderson from the
Library Board after twenty-four years of service
caused me to reflect on the fine board mem
bers who have served this library in the years
since the library was built. Many, like
Rosemary Sazonoff, were Deerfield stalwarts;
many were not known by the public but made
strong contributions to this library benefiting
the residents and the staff.
John was not the longest serving board member of memory. That
honor would go to former Board President Tom Parfitt, with current
President Sue Benn right behind in length of service. It is hard to sin
gle out individuals but some do stand out. Longtime Treasurer Tony
Sabato, who passed away last winter, taught me all I know about tax
levies and public finance. Rosemary Sazonoff taught me the power of
the press; Wilbur Page taught me respect for the physical plant and
how to take care of it. Sue Benn, especially, has shepherded me
through all our renovation projects for the past eight years and I owe
her more than I can tell. It is with sadness that we note the death of
former Board Member Charlene Reich in early May; she served with
distinction.
Currently the library has a mix of old and new board members. Sue
Benn brings over twenty years experience to the table, David Wolff
twelve years. Our younger members Don Van Arsdale, Sunday Mueller,
Jeff Blumenthal and Ken Abosch bring a renewed sense of energy and
enthusiasm as we look forward to long range planning and needed
community assessment to prepare ourselves for the future. Bill Seiden
has agreed to fill John Anderson’s position on an interim basis. This
board truly reflects the residents of Deerfield and will be a great asset
as we move into the reality of the information age.
As if we needed proof that it is indeed a small world we live in,
this spring Bill Seiden, current President of the North Suburban Library
System Board, and I were in Washington, D.C. for the American Library
Association’s Legislative Day. At the debriefing session held after a
long day on Capitol Hill I chanced to look over at one of our fellow
library advocates. I asked him immediately if he was the Don McCurry
who served so ably on the Deerfield Public Library Board twenty years
ago. Don’s reponse was, “How in the world did you know that?” It was
easy. Don had been a great board member. He had made strong contri
butions to the library, and had make a lasting impression. He was in
Washington as a board member of the Northern Illinois Library System
headquartered in Rockford. It seems Don has been involved in library
service for many years.
At this point it finally occurred to me that as boards have a
tremendous impact on their libraries, so do libraries have a lasting
effect on the board members themselves. It was a fine moment when I
introduced a current board member to one from many, many years ago.
Past and present became one, leading me to feel confident about this
library’s future.

Desk
w
inston Churchill said that
we shape our buildings and
thereafter they shape us. Those
words have a special resonance
for me. This month marks the
end of almost eight years of
remodeling and renovating the
library. The intimacy I have had
with this building in those years
has indeed shaped me. I would
like to think the building is now
in as good a shape as it was when
I first came to work here twentyeight years ago. All departments
have been renovated, the ADA
code has been addressed, a new
elevator has been added, and new
boiler system has been installed.
On December 12, we will rededi
cate our refurbished Youth
Services room, named in memory
of Dr. Diego Redondo.
In many ways the past few
years have been like playing an
extended game of Snakes and
Ladders or an object lesson in the
herding of cats. Anyone who has
ever supervised a home remodel
ing project will understand exact
ly what I mean. I am now on a
first name basis with electricians,
plumbers, painters, carpenters,
continued on back page
Year of Renewal
This is Deerfield Library’s official theme for the
year 2000. The new century really begins December
31, 2001 so we are offering a whole year of great
activities culminating on December 31, 2000, the beginning
of the new millennium. We join the Village of Deerfield in look

cement cutters, brick layers, contractors and
architects. It has been my privilege to work with
four gifted and talented architects: Cecil
Gobeaux, Don Wrobleski, Karl Sugihara and
Scott Javore. A special thanks to interior designer Juele Blankenburg. It has been an interesting
odyssey. The library staff and Board could not
have been more helpful or supportive.
The foresight of Mayor Forrest and the Village
Trustees made all of our renovations possible.
These projects were carried out with the use of
Tax Increment Financing and did not cost the
taxpayer any money. The library incurred no
debt—and no new taxes.
Two remarks stand out in my memory that
shaped the mind-set of the entire project. They
stand out because of their easy wisdom. The
first was from our former Board President, Tom
Parfitt, when our ADA building audit had been
done by O’Donnell, Wickland, Pigozzi and
Peterson. We needed to change and alter many
things in our building to be ADA compliant;
frankly this would cost a lot of money and dis
turbed everyone on the board. We named our
Fiction Room for Tom because of what he said
that night, “This is not a set back, this is an
opportunity.” The second came when we were in
the design throes of the lobby renovation and
the architect was describing how a double-hung
door (which we now have) fully complied with
ADA because of the low pressure needed to
open it. Yvonne Sharpe got right to the point by
asking. “What if the patron doesn’t have any
hands?” So we added an automatic door, too. I
believe those two insights defined everything we

have done in the past eight years. Do the thing
right, in spirit as well as statute. Not the cheap
est, not the most expensive, we chose the right
way throughout the whole project.
Bill Seiden always kids me about the six
Family Day Parade 1st prizes I have in my
office. I am proud of them because they make it
clear how this library relates to and reflects the
community and residents. This library is part of
the community. We help kids learn to read, do
story hours, provide fiction books, answer refer
ence questions, teach research skills, help plan
science fair experiments, teach the Internet and
do puppet shows. We supply all our Deerfield
residents with their reading needs and informa
tion needs and provide lifetime learning. So, as
Winston Churchill said, we shape our buildings
and thereafter they shape us.
The bricks and mortar period is over. Now
the hard part begins—planning for the future.
The Board and staff will not waver from that
responsibility. It will take hard work and
courage to develop a vision for the future.
Technology, remote access, fiber optic networks,
distance learning, and computers will shape our
future. To have a vision and plan in place will
take study. The revitalized Youth Services
Department reflects our commitment to the
young people of Deerfield—our future—and the
room makes some promises. It promises chal
lenge and reward, service and wisdom, comfort
and warmth. Most of all, I pledge that it promis
es an entrance to the future for all our children.

My father used to bring home stray cats, and I
think he used the same process to choose his
friends. He brought home a cat that only had a
stump for a tail. Forever called “Tailless,” a car ac
cident had deprived him of his tail and no end of
vets could heal that stub right. The second cat
“Meowser’s" ears had been frozen off, leaving only
a hint that they should have been there in the first
place. We felt sorry for them, but we loved them
because they were great cats.
My Dad’s friends fit right in there with those cats.
Librarian in Hie Lobby
I have no clear idea what my Dad saw in those guys.
Now entering a fourth year, our suc
cessful Librarian in the Lobby offers
the opportunity for patrons to meet
with library administrators to speak
informally of library concerns. The
director and board members listen
to and follow through on patron
suggestions, when feasible. Librar
ian in the Lobby will be offered
Wednesday evenings from 7:309 p.m. December 6, January 3 and
February 7.
They weren’t fishing pals, or drinking buddies. They
had no other common linkage except they were all
as poorly equipped to cope with life as the cats.
Some of them even had frozen off appendages
One specimen had thirteen junked Corvairs and
nine operating motorcyles.
I could but I won’t name names. There was the
guy with fifteen dogs, who we called “Doggie.”
There was the guy who ran a saloon with a giant
live frog in the window, there was the well digger
who had six wives by the time he was thirty, there

of the computer catalog:
Key Word Searching—especially
helpful when you know only partial
information about a title (example:
you want to Find the series of books
with “gourmet” in the title-written
by a man named “Smith.”
American Heritage Electronic Dic

nition of words and abbreviations.

ASAP, Magazine Index Plus,
Health Index Plus—InfoTrac in
dexes periodical articles by subject
and includes the full text of some
articles.
Dial-up Access—to our computer
catalog-from home or business.
(Note: the InfoTrac databases are
available in library only.)

�Librarian's DOSli (contined from page 1)
was the fisherman who could call up wild fish
that lived by the end of his dock, the root beer
bottler whose homemade soda “you opened
outside and caught it in a pail across the yard,"
there was the cheesemaker with the long raft
of floating oil drums that featured rocking
chairs for the fishermen, the car mechanic who
did dentistry. I don’t think he felt sorry for them,
though a lot of other people did, and I don’t
think he loved them all like we did the stray
cats. I do know he thought they were “color
ful" to use his own word.
What those friends came down to was
simple. Acceptance. Don't judge anyone by
what you see on the outside, friends are
friends, who you know are your friends, you
stick up for your friends whoever they are, and
friends don't judge friends. Also, rural Minne
sota did not give you many choices, though
among his group there was an All-American
basketball player, a WWII Marine Corps fighter
Ace, the best pheasant hunter in Washington
County, a sheriff, a priest, a guy covered com
pletely with naval tattoos and a Carnegie LifeSaving Gold Medal winner. They were differ
ent but never boring.
I chose my friends a lot differently, and I
have a far less interesting group to talk to than
my Dad did. I am afraid that this is endemic to
suburban life. Everyone I know is responsible,
has all his body parts, works for a living, has
college degrees, speaks perfect English in
complete sentences, and has straight teeth.
Having been back to Minnesota nine times in
the last two years has really made me wonder
who Garrison Keillor talks about when he de
scribes Minnesota, because I don't meet the
old-time characters there anymore than I do
here. However, it is a serious mistake to think
everyone is “just like us."
The book I am recommending this month
is In Confidence by Anatoly Dobrynin. As So
viet Foreign Minister he was a participant in
most of the Cold War's great confrontations.
Dobrynin knew all the international players
from Khrushchev to Reagan and sheds a clear
light on all the events that shaped our time.
The Bay of Pigs, Vietnam and Star Wars are
all illuminated by a distinctly different perspec
tive than we ever got from our newspapers or
television Duped by his own government
about the missiles in Cuba, cajoled by LBJ to
end the Vietnam war in 1965, Dobrynin was
at the center of crucial world events for over
thirty years and he has a lot to say about all of
it. I think we can learn a lot from these former
Cold Warriors that they learned the hard, hard
way, and that we should never forget.

There are still a few patrons who ask,
“Where’s the fiction?” Others have already
discovered the newly restructured space on
the lower level of the library and the large
new elevator that provides direct access to
the 3,600 square foot room.
The fiction room now houses the en
tire fiction collection of 23,331 volumes
including all large print, mysteries, science
fiction and an expanded paperback collec
tion. The room meets the architect, staff,
library board and publics expectations of
being a quiet, restful, dignified, informal
area with excellent lighting. The room was
dedicated to Thomas E. Parfitt on Sunday,
September 17. Mr. Parfitt, Library Board
President for 20 years, gave his thanks and
appreciation to the large audience.
Bridget Lamont, Director of the Illlinois
State Library was an honored guest at the
dedication. Ms. Lamont commended the
unique use of existing space provided at no
extra cost to taxpayers. She also praised the
fact that a longtime library trustee was so
honored.
We thank Deerfield Bakery, Swansons
Blossom Shop, Bob Close, Hel’s Kitchen
and the Deerfield Garden Club for their
contributions to our successful event.

Fall 1993 saw the installation of the library’s
handicapped accessible front doors and the
addition of an outside video drop for pa
tron convenience.
Now a major priority for the library
board is efficient renovation of main floor
space which formerly housed the fiction
collection. It is possible that the fireplace
and current periodicals will be moved to
the former fiction area providing a pleas
ant reading space in a more peaceful lo
cation. This would increase shelf space
for the nonfiction collection and busi
ness room.
The Deerfield Public Library has received
an official document of Senate Recogni
tion from the Illinois Senate of the 89th

service to the community.

For the Deerfield Library, the past
year has been one of renovation,
transformation and technological
change. As we position the library
for the 21st century, we renew our
commitment to reading and to pro

We now have a newly restructured
space dedicated to them....The
Thomas E. Parfitt Fiction Room.
Located on the lower level of the
library, the room houses the fiction
collection of 23,331 including large
print, mysteries, and science fiction.

furnishings.”
TTCue Space
Formerly underused space adds
37% adult public space and increases
book capacity 20%.
At the entrance, faux skylight
and mirrors provide a setting for the
Barbara Housekeeper sculpture
commissioned for 1971 library
opening. Gracing the free standing
wall, is the still life by Vilato
(a cousin of Picasso) donated to the
library in 1971 by Sara Lee.
Ceiling, with modified crown moul
ding, was raised to bring space in char
acter with the rest of the public area.
Quiet reading area is defined by

out period and SI a day fine if overdue. It is
not possible to give an exact starting date,

librarians, and PALS were reading buddies

The Solve Mysteries-Read! Adult Reading
Club attracted 160 busy readers. Their suggested readings will be shared in handouts
this fall.

Neui Ficlion Room To Open
I
xcitement is building over
the library’s newly remod
eled lower level. In Septem
ber there will be a grand
opening celebration. The reading
area will be named: Thomas E.
Parfitt Fiction Room. Parfitt retired
from the library board in 1993 after
22 years of service; he was library
board president for 20 of those years.
The library board Building Com
mittee includes Sue Benn, Diane Kraus
and Yvonne Sharpe. They said, “The
room will be warm, inviting and class)'.
.
Comfortable furnishings in
earthtones and wood will
be featured, but the
greatest element is a lot
of light with a relaxing
garden view.”
The remodeling, in
x
planning stages since 1992,
will provide 23% additional floor
space and 20% increased shelf space.
It will be paid for entirely by Tax
Increment Financing from the Vil
lage of Deerfield at no extra cost to
taxpayers.

Magazine Index Rdded lo
Online Catalog
You can now access a magazine in
dex database called Infotrac 2000
from any Dynix terminal in the
library. There are three databases
available: Business and Company
Profile ASAP, Health ASAP and
Magazine Index Plus (for current
affairs, consumer information,
travel, arts, entertainment). Coverage
is from 1992 to the present. Some
articles are citation only, some have
abstracts, and some are full text.
Librarians will be happy to assist
you in your search.
Across the Librarian’s Desk
Now that the Age of Espionage is ebbing and the
Age of Lawyers is fully upon us, I wonder what the
next great themes for fiction will be? Publishers have
so confused form for content and occupation for char
acter they no longer seem to know the difference. The
trend I see in popular fiction is a continuous reduction
in literate writing, the etching of character, compelling
dialogue, or even plot. What has replaced these ele
ments of literature is action, sex (and I don’t mean
gender), and a downscaling of the intelligence quo
tient to about the 6th grade level. Where is the literate
adult fare that is not murder, spies, or lawyers? What’s
next? I'll bet it will be software gurus. Fascinating.
Wolff Elected
Board
On April 4 Bill Seiden and David
Wolff were each elected to a six year
term on the Deerfield Library Board
of Trustees.Wolff, a manufacturers'
representative in metal forming,
said, “I wish to thank the Deerfield
voters for returning me to the
Library Board of Trustees for a sec
ond term. I shall work with the
board to continue the outstanding
level of service to our patrons within
the fiscal constraints of a limited
budget.” Seiden, an Illinois C.RA.,
is a retired corporate executive now
doing limited consulting. Seiden is
also committed to serving all of
Deerfield’s residents “working with
other board members to arrive at
meaningful decisions and to provide
excellent services for the community.”
As disappointing as the trend in books has been, it
has been outdone by the film industry. Action car

all replaced drama, comedy and romance. Where are

New residents are invited
to stop in for a library card.
Please bring 2 forms of i.d.
showing Deerfield address. Card is
free if you live in incorporated
Deerfield; the state sets a $150 fee
for non residents and mandates that
they borrow only at the library

the wonderful musicals of the 1940’s and the great
“adult" film noir that defined films for so long? The real
question is where are the scripts that challenge and
delight, where are the themes and motifs that go along
Continued on page 2
�Librarian's Desk
o u
(continued from page 1)
with good writing? When did the term “adult” come
to mean skin? I remember being scared stiff by
Cary Grant and a glass of milk; now it takes chain
saws, body parts and gallons of blood to achieve
an effect.
Actually what we are seeing is the precursor
of a non-literate culture. Our country is becoming
visual instead of verbal with kids watching too
many thousands of hours of numbing television
and not reading books...and not knowing the dif
ference. Hence we have poor scripts, and non
literate books. Lawyers are seen as fascinating
characters in far too much fiction. It appears we
are abrogating our culture to publishers and me
dia and movie moguls who say “..no one reads,
only dumb kids go to the movies, trash for the
masses."
We know this not to be totally true. Barnes and
Noble and Borders validate the fact that Deerfield
has a literate and reading population. We look for
books and mature films that inspire and challenge
us. As an antidote, it is fortunate that we live in an
area of affordable theatre, not just the Shubert
and Goodman but the small ones, the Organic
Theatre, Next, Steppenwolf, Northlight, The Re
mains—the list is gratifyingly long. But even
though we read, it seems that media producers
are intent on reducing what is available to the low
est common denominator. Reductio adAbsurdum.
Apparently it makes money and that’s all that
seems to count today. The O.J. Simpson trial cov
erage is just a symptom of the widespread con
sumer entertainment disease—simple, mindless,
violent and visual.

part of Summer Reading
Club. Any child, from
preschool age through
8th grade can earn a
certificate for 12 hours

your group. Earn an extra prize by partici
pating in ‘A Walk in the Woods,” our book

Summer Crafls
For all ages: Craft Potpourri, drop in for a
variety of projects (see calendar). Children
under 6 must be with an adult.
For 1st - 3rd graders: Make a bird
feeder, 3:30 pm, June 20 or June 27. Pup
pet Workshops, 3:30 pm, July 19 or July
26. Registration required.
Writers' Workshops
Got the write stuff? Sign up for a Writers’
Workshop this summer! Journalist/author Mary Gillespie
Courtney will guide young

Sign up for the June

Babysitting Class
Red Cross babysitting class will be offered
during two weeks in July. A small number
of students, age 11 or older, can earn a cer
tificate in babysitting skills in four 2 1/2

days, July 11 & 18.The other two will meet
at 9:30 am Saturdays, July 13 & 22. Regis
tration begins immediately. Preference to
Deerfield cardholders.
It is ironic that we call for values and respon
sibility from any individual in this age of collective
irresponsibility. We ask for less violence on our
streets but pay to wallow in it in books and films.
We demand accountability but we don’t practice
O
it ourselves. Maybe that’s the real loss—our own
honesty and integrity. I have always been a firm
believer that today is “the good old days." But
when it comes to books and films, looking back
wards you see adult books and films that chal
lenged, entertained, inspired and enchanted...
made by people who read, wrote, and thought.
The book that I am recommending this month
is Rocking the Babies by Linda Raymond. This is
a book that makes you believe in people, reaffirm
real family values and inspires our highest in
stincts. Set in a hospital, the book examines those
who provide care and love to drug addicted newborns.

DEERFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY
Across the
Librarian's Desk
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.

three bookstores, it's like a
what we always
knew— Deerfield librarian's reunion—about
is a book-centered a fourth of the customers
are librarians. The more
community. P
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

Thank you!
We encourage book and book on cassette

materials. We overwhelm the bookstores with
our reference collections, business directories,
indexes, and our wonderful children's
department. Competition? The role of the
library is so different I certainly don't see
competition. More of a complement.
We can learn from them in the areas of
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.

DEERFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY
Across the
Librarian's Desk
F
orty years ago in November, right after
Ike's 1952 election, my Dad put up our
Christmas tree. He was sure that my
oldest brother, fighting far away in Korea,
would be home soon and wanted the tree
there to greet him.
That tree stayed up until June of 1953. There
were so many expectations like that in
1952—with a new and trusted president
coming into office—we thought everything
was possible. Taking my tree down this
year, I was struck by those
wThen, as now, memories and the contrast to
^
look forward today—how times change.
^Optimistically to A long distance call from San

shipped out for Korea, for

The library offers a wonderful world of learning.

Forty years ago that tree my Dad put up
symbolized my family's desire for peace
and tranquillity. We lived at the end of an
18 mile dirt road and you could see those
lights in our window for miles across the
snow as we came home at night. We all
wanted our favorite brother home safe,
away from deadly harm and death he faced
every day. He saw the Pusan Perimeter,
Yalu River and the frozen Chosin, and we
knew exactly what that meant. Seeing "his"
tree every day gave us great comfort.
I remember that winter of hopefulness very
clearly—and how our optimism never
faded, even as the tree shriveled. That tree
became an unsspoken magic in our house—
we wouldn't take it down because it was
somehow protecting my brother. So many
neighbors and friends had sons, who were
wounded or killed, we worried eve
We were pulling for Ike and a peace
future—tne dawn of a new day. Our

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

much Deerfield has remained as it was:
The same interesting residents, who show

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. ■

Fall, 1992
DEERFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY
Vol. 7, No. 4
Library Services At Risk
A
t a time when library use has
skyrocketed, Governor Edgar
has approved a state budget
that has cut $7.2 million in funding for
library services in 17 regional library
systems in Illinois. Deerfield Library
belongs to the North Suburban Library
System (NSLS) whose budget has been
cut by 3314%, or $900,000.
At this juncture, it is hard to quantify
how these cuts will affect Deerfield
Library. Jack Hicks, Administrative
Librarian said, "All the external sup
port services that the public has come
to count on will be restricted, or
even eliminated."
Some system services to which the
public has become accustomed are
interlibrary loan of books, Central Seri
als Service which provides free photo
copies of articles in magazines not
owned by Deerfield, System Reference
Service which acts as a backup for ref
erence questions we are unable to
answer, and the loan of audio visual
materials to supplement our collec
tion. Effective immediately, the
serials service for copies of articles
has ceased.
Deerfield and all other Illinois libraries
will face diminished services as all
library systems in the state are
affected. Fifteen staff members of the
North Suburban Library System have
lost their jobs as a result of this cut in
state funds.
Meet Library
Administrators
Better than an inanimate sugges
tion box, Jack Hicks, Administra
tive Librarian and a member of
the Board of Trustees, will be
available in person to greet you
and to address any library issue
in the library's front lobby the
first Saturday of each month
from 9 a.m. to noon.
As funds are now restricted, Sarah
Long, System Director, hopes that
creative solutions may be found to
reinstate system services.
"We simply do not know yet how
deeply these cuts will be felt by our
patrons," said Hicks, "but we will
keep our community informed."
'The reductions will be painful," said
George Ryan, Secretary of State/State
Librarian. Some fees for back-up
library services may be necessary in
Deerfield Library's future.
warn
Across the
Librarian's Desk
T
he State budget cuts discussed
in this newsletter send the omi
nous and chilling message to
librarians across Illinois that services
our residents have come to expect and
count on will be restricted or
eliminated.
Deerfield will be directly affected by
these State budget cuts since they
instantly stratify residents access to
library services into the "haves" and
the "have nots."
We are all aware of the economic and
tax problems Illinois and the USA face
in general terms, but I am going to try
to put it into real terms.
Traveling Librarians share "good reads" at the Deerfield Senior Center. From
left: Judy Hortin, Baiba Rosenkranz, Sally Margolis, Sally Seifert, Pat Palmer,
Martha Sloan. Call us if your group would like a road show.
I see libraries as such a strong exten
sion to education in this country —
cutting across age, educational, and
(Continued on p. 2)
�Librarian’s Desk
(Continued fromn p. 1
economic barriers. If we continue to
erode our educational base I wonder
how this country will ever be competi
tive again. This all has to do with will
power and priorities.
I was really disappointed when the
NASA launch of the Hubble telescope
turned out to be such a fiasco. The Hub
ble project held so much promise for dis
covery and technical advancement yet
delivered essentially nothing. The will
power was there, but the execution was
lacking.
What has this to do with libraries? Sim
ply that the squandered Hubble budget
would pay the State Library System
shortfall for 200 years. I wonder where
our priorities have gone?
Starting soon, when a young child walks
into our library and seeks help that we
routinely have offered from State assis
tance, he will be turned down. When a
businessman seeks a magazine article
we do not hold, he will go away empty
handed. When a college student needs a
reference question answered that is
beyond our scope, it will remain unan
swered. All at a time when our residents
need more, not less, from our library
services. I hope none of the children we
turn away would have been a young
Thomas Edison or Jonas Salk.
I have no crystal ball to discern a glass
darkly, but the cavalier way the Secre
tary of State slashed library service gives
me no optimism.
Libraries provide so much service and
information to so many citizens, yet we
remain the lowest taxing component of
any government — usually 2% or lower.
The politicians will discover that they
can cut all of the library money and still
not effect any real saving. And at what
cost? — shortsighted and illusory sav
ings and permanent damage to library
users in Illinois.

finger games, songs, an introduction to
good books and records.
Adults in attendance should also enjoy
exchanging ideas in an informal setting.
Older pre-school siblings welcome.
For every book read in the summer Youth
Services Reading Club, children put a bean
in a jar at the front desk. By August 1, there
were 7359 beans in the jar! 305 children
received certificates for finishing their
"Discover! Read!" membership.
Two hundred joined the first Deerfield
Library Adult Summer Reading Club,
"Explore New Worlds." Members read a
minimum of 6 books, 3 in a foreign setting.
A valuable gift to the community is a read
ing list compiled from readers' suggestions.

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.

Stop in to the Diego
Redondo Room now to receive your information packet of
summer programs and see page three in this newsletter for
more DISCOVER! details.
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.
