A Vision for the
Library
by Don Van Arsdale, Deeifield Library
Trustee, Chair of the Long Range
Planning Committee (and Director of
the Winnetka Community House)
D
aniel Burnham said
“make no small plans
as they have no power
to fire men’s souls”. Due in part to
Mr. Burnham’s foresight and
vision, we enjoy Chicago as one of
the truly great cites in the world.
Ten years ago, the Deerfield Public
Library Board of Trustees and staff
created a Master Plan for the
library. Using community input,
this process resulted in a plan
which improved the library facility
in many significant ways. Some of
these improvements include: the
opening up and renovation of the
lower level resulting in the Tom
Parfitt Adult Fiction Room, the
installation of a public elevator,
Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA) improvements, renovation of
the children’s reading room, instal
lation of a new computer system,
remodeling of the front lobby and
the purchase of new materials.

Board President Sue Benn Retires
We are grateful to Sue Benn who has served on
the Deerfield Library Board of Trustees for 27
years and as president for the past twelve of
those years. In April she will step down from her
post. Originally appointed to the Board, she
became interested in the library while working on
book sales with the Library Friends Group.
Subsequently, she ran for office and won four
elections, each requiring six year terms. She has
particularly enjoyed the board work because of
the variety of personalities and friends she’s
made along the way.

Sue Benn
She has observed many changes in the Village since moving here in 1955
and raising her three children in Deerfield. “Life was simpler then,” she said
“yet there has been continuity in the library. It’s like raising a child; you
don’t notice the growth because you are so close to it.” She has overseen a
new roof, boiler system, major building renovation, ongoing computer tech
nology, policy changes and the challenge of making best use of available
space. Her fondest accomplishment has been hiring and supporting Jack
Hicks as administrative librarian. “Jack has hired an excellent staff, main
tains contact with the Village, the library profession, computers and a myri
ad of details.” Having worked so closely with staff and board on so many
projects she feels she is leaving a family. She modestly says of her years on
the board— “I got more than I gave.”
An active community member, Sue was elected 2002 “Volunteer of the
Year” at the Chicago Botanic Garden, and has many interests. She and her
husband Walt particularly enjoy trips to visit her children. She plans to keep
a close eye on the library’s future and to continue visiting almost daily as
she does now. (She might even volunteer again for the “sticky job” of.
lemonade service in the library which she has done every year for July 4th
Family Day).
On April 1 the Village will hold an election for a total of three openings on
the library board.

�A Vision for the Library
Continued from page I
The current Board of Trustees began a new long range plan
in 2001. Once again, we are looking to our residents for
input on how the library can serve your needs in the future.
We want to solicit your ideas about our services, materials,
hours, staff, programs, and facilities.
Your thoughts and opinions are essential to the success of
our plan. If you are contacted by POL, please take the 5-10
minutes to complete the telephone survey. If you are con
tacted to participate in a focus group, please consider say
ing yes.
We have contracted with the Public Opinion Laboratory
(POL) of Northern Illinois University to conduct a telephone
survey. Additionally, POL will conduct a series of focus
groups where we will delve into the information gleaned
from the telephone survey. We will listen and consider the
results of these conversations as we begin planning and
visioning the future of the Deerfield Public Library.
The library services are here for your enjoyment. We know
you want this to be an excellent community resource. We
want to position this library to meet the needs of current
and future patrons. Like Daniel Burhnam, we understand
that to prepare for the future, you must plan for the future.
Shelving in the “West Wing" main floor of the library has been
remodeled for videos, DVD's, CD's and audio books. Now there is
space to grow and to increase our collections. If you have any
trouble locating materials, please ask a reference librarian for
assistance.

□ Reminder: If you do not have your library card with you or your library card
has expired, you will have to have some type of approved identification before
you can check out materials or update your library card. Proper ID: driver’s
license, checkbook, voter registration or utility bill.
□ We have a checkout limit of five items on a subject—per family. This is to
insure that all of our patrons will have access to our materials. (Often school
assignments and other circumstances create sudden heavy demand beyond the
stretch of our collection).
□ Our unique card-operated Internet service is free to anyone 18 or older and
youth with signed parental permission. There is a one time sign up; your library
card is then scanned and you are eligible to use the Internet for up to one hour
per day. If you live in another community and do not have a library card, bring
ID and we will provide you with a special card. There are five Internet stations
in Reference plus a sixth 15 minute express station. In Youth Services there are
two stations. (Your library card must be current and free from fines!).

The library’s subscription to the Physicians Desk Reference online database allows
you to search free of charge for information on both brand name and generic drugs
and to check for drug interactions, adverse reactions, etc. If you have a Deerfield
Library card and an Internet connection, now you can find this information from
home or work without coming to the library — especially handy for those home sick!
Of course at the library anyone — with or without a Deerfield card — can use both
the database and the print book version of PDR.
Also available on the library’s website: INFOTRAC’S Health and Wellness Resource
Center, for full-text articles, medical reference books, drug information and more.

We are proud and pleased that the
Pioneer Press Deerfield Review fea
tured the Deerfield Public Library’s
70th anniversary in the January 9
issue. They wrote “The Deerfield Li
brary has truly been a pillar of the
community. Although not the
North Shores largest in size or vol
ume, it easily ranks with the best in
performance. Hicks and the elected
board of trustees have made the
most of every resource.”
And while we are “tooting our

America has always been defined by three ideas:
equality, opportunity and fair play. To a great degree

plenty of them to worship. Without the Soviets to loathe
we have turned against each other.
It is not hard to single out the factors that divided
us over the past thirty years: a Vietnam that hasn’t
gone away for too many; the assassinations of JFK,
Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King, the riots that
followed, the Democratic convention of 1968,
Watergate: the list is long. All of that was a dark pe
riod in our history; it was not the age of aquarius at all.
It was an age of betrayal and loss of innocence and
marked the beginning of the loss of national purpose.
Contined on page 2
�rian'i
continued from paget
The pain and rancor of all of that divided
us as a country. I remember Nixon’s cam
paign slogan of 1968: "Bring us together."
What irony. Today we are polarized by race,
economics, politics, religion, and an emerg
ing class system. All this in an era of great
well-being.
We are bombarded daily with negative
information about our political process and
our elected officials. Not a day goes by with
out a new scandal, wasted millions, and a
partisan Congress. As a society we have
become inured to the outrage we all once
felt. We accept rhetoric for ideas, sound bites
for knowledge, and low level political tricks
for leadership. Worst of all we allow simple
minded ideas to be passed around as legiti
mate thought. The one idea I am going to
examine is the cheap-shot of term limits
which is bandied about from all sides as an
instant cure for our political ills.
The Congress enacted presidential term
limits back in the early 1950’s as a reaction
against the four terms served by President
Roosevelt. It sounded like a good idea, and
it apparently looked good enough for legis
lators to enact it into law. But I would sug
gest it was short sighted, mean spirited, and
contributed to the litany of divisive forces that
I listed above. I don’t know if anyone was
paying attention, but all elective offices have
built-in term limits; they’re called elections.
It is easy to speculate that if Dwight
Eisenhower had been allowed to run for
president in 1960, none of the traumatic
things listed above would have even hap
pened.
Don’t scoff. Ike had great acceptance and
performance ratings from the American pub
lic; he had really mastered the job by 1960
and was widely respected. He also told us
two things that were ignored when he left
office: beware of the military-industrial com
plex and avoid a land war in Asia at all costs.
So it follows logically that there would have
been no Vietnam, no assassinations, no ri
ots, no Watergate, no deficit, and no disillu
sionment. The ideas of equality, opportunity
and fair play were ignored. We threw a great
president out of office. By accepting cheap
rhetoric without examining the conse
quences we reaped a whirlwind we pay for
everyday, with no end in sight.
The books I am recommending this
month are negative choices, but very reveal
ing of our political process. Both have been
on the best seller list; one is a badly written
book with a dubious premise and odd con
clusions, the other a well written book cov
ering an unsavory series of incidents. If you
harbor thoughts that Robert Bork should be
a Supreme Court Justice, read his Slouch
ing Toward Gomorrah and if you think Bill
and Hillary rule with clean hands, read
James B. 9tewart’s Blood Sport.

A Message From Judy Haddad,
Director of Youth Services
I recently returned from a month long sojourn
in Israel. I came back to America gladly and
gratefully. You might be thinking I was happy
to be back because I missed my
family or I didn’t want to be
blown up in a terrorist attack.
Well, you would be wrong. •
What made me feel that we are I
|ucky t0 iive jn the United
States, especially north suburban
Illinois, is the quality of the libraries. There is
just no comparison between the quality of ma
terials and services you find in the North Sub
urban Library System libraries and anywhere
in the world. Rich or poor, big or small, the
libraries in Israel just couldn’t cut it. In many
libraries in Israel, you wont find a children’s
section at all, much less one with such a variety
of puzzles, cassettes, cd’s, computers, or even
books. However, Israel has something that
Deerfield doesn’t—warm beaches.

�Librarian's DesH continued
it must to cope with the nature of a
dynamic society—dead languages
reflect dead cultures. The way our
language is evolving, what we are
soon going to have is a cross
between Victor Borge and the brutal
language in Anthony Burgess’s book
about a ruthless, soul-less future, A
Clockwork Orange.
Here is a tiny sampling of the
non-words that are commonplace in
our new non-language: go to the
mat, input, surf—which is both a
computer and sports cliche,
risktaker—who is always rewarded,
cyber-anything, paradigm,
sidemantle, interactive, stake
holder—who was someone in the
Boy Scouts who helped put up your
pup tent, outsource, and the feared
outplace, ecosystem, access,
gatekeeper—who is good at getting
money in but never letting it out,
enable, empower, supercomputer,
virtual reality, cheese food—
whatever that is, learning curve—
which I always seem to be behind,
parameters, interface, share,
enriching, network, downsize—the
dreaded catch-word of the 90’s,
advocacy, quality time, information
superhighway which we all surf. Oh,
these words and the sentences they
bloat—they’re just so, so meaningful.
I use what I call the Kentucky
Colonel test when I read jargon and
drivel--if I can insert the phrase Ken
tucky Colonel in place of the catch
phrase and the sentence still makes
sense, you’re in trouble.
What I hear and see falls into about
four general categories: the increasing
use of non-words, the horrible mispro
nunciation you hear on television, the
overuse of cliches, and finally—maybe
the worst—the worthless habit of turning
nouns into verbs.Throw in the computerisms and sports terms that have crept
into daily usage and you find a language
that is losing the power of expression.
What is it we want from language? First
and foremost the language must be of
specificity to avoid ambiguity (yet not
mimic German). But we crave and
demand more; there must be beauty—
even grandeur from our language The
English language has always been
renowned for its power, beauty, and
expressiveness—it has the potential to
stir our souls—the most lyrical and
descriptive language on earth.
We have always welcomed words
from other languages, because they
often express an emotion or feeling
better than old stale words. Terms like
bungalow and badminton from India
have become staples of the English
language. I would suggest that up to
now our language has followed a
natural transformation to make words
more effective or expressive. The word

pollution now prevalent is not that
kind of transformation—instead of
making words more effective, the
drive is to make words more
accessible. Accessible language
panders to the lowest instincts, not
the most noble, to produce a
meaningless choreography of banal
words. Maybe the use of non
language is directly proportional to
our efforts when we try to simplify an
increasingly complex world, or when
we just shirk our duty to think.
Language is probably the most
perfect barometer we have for a
society; it reflects exactly and totally
who we are and what we think. Our
language has begun to emulate our
domestic architecture—no front
porch, but elaborately enclosed
backyards. Maybe our language is a
perfect metaphor for today; it reveals
all that we are willing or able to
reveal about ourselves. I would like
to think otherwise; but words speak
louder than hopes and words are
definitely losing as we surf our way
out into the mainstream of the
information superhighway. What will
the permanent barometer of our
language record about us?

Architect
Selected
D
he Deerfield Library
Board and Administrative
Librarian have selected R.
Scott Javore and Associates from
among seven candidates to redesign
the main floor of the library. Javores
firm, located in Glencoe, Illinois,
specializes in architecture, interior
design and historic preservation.
This first floor renovation is part
of a five year plan begun in 1992
with installation of a new heating
system, compliance with
R
the American Disf/L, abilities Act, and
'iff most recently reuM structuring of the
lower level for the
^ Thomas E. Parfitt Fiction Room. We now
embark on the first
floor renovation. It should be able
to provide shelving for almost
200,000 volumes, yet return an
open feeling, grace and functional
ism to our public space.
The architects have been meeting
with the board and the library staff
to gather information on how the
library operates and what is needed.
During the summer they will be
working on a schematic design to
reconfigure the space as it now exists.
Telecirc is Here
Now you can renew books, find all
the titles you have checked out and
hear fines for overdue books auto
matically by calling 676-1846 from
a touch tone telephone. A voice will
ask you for your bar code number
from your library card, and then you
will hear a menu of options.

I wrote this prose poem in 1981 to help me
resolve the loss of a good friend in Vietnam. For
Memorial Day 1996 I urge you to remember our
veterans. We all too often forget that Memorial
Day is more than a three day weekend; it is a
day of tribute to all those veterans who never
came home. There are 58,000 names on the
Vietnam Memorial Wall. Below is my memory of
one of them. As a word of explanation, Hamline
is my university in St. Paul, MN and my military
service delayed my graduation by four years.
I have carried this in my billfold for 15 years and
refer to it often not only to remember my friend,
but also to remember who I am.
Every Autumn
My memories of Hamline are always set in
Autumn.
Where early moons made flat transits across the
midwest landscape.
A place whose falling leaves and football games
run on eternal.
The enduring thing I came away with was people.
We all met young.
Some, like my wife I see everyday.
Others are flimsy stuff, patterned thin and finewinter grass.
Years, like the puff of small winds, have gone by
so softly.

�Librarian's flBSh (continued from page 1)
Now, all of us have had the great passions and
loves, diapers, mortgage payments and apron
; strings—triumphs and defeat, that make us
what we are—real life—cur other Alma Mater.
j We have learned that life comes out in full, not
even numbers.
Time flattens, but does not erase, any of
those memories.
My vision sharpens when I think of certain
: people.
Friends with faces forever young so far
away in time.
Off somewhere today—leading lives parallel
to mine.
| / remember one of my best friends. Tall and
gawking, whose cackling laugh got us through
so many dread chapels.
I, Standing in the rain to debate a convocation
speaker.
Face to face over a library table, discussing—
: the meaning of life or the American Association
standings.
Climbing the wooden backstairs in old Social
Science Hall, or outside hands clutched at coat
collars, the squeak of winter snow underfoot.
His incandescent humor badgered Hubert
Humphrey to a standstill, by the smokestack of
the Student Union, behind Old Main.
How we jumped the day the roof slate fell,
missing us by inches.
I fixed him up with his only college romance. We
were so young.
We had so many things to do and say—human
measure.
Stand by me, rock and roll, the anthem of
our age.
The war that defines my generation came and
we served.
My army career now a duffle bag of clothes,
forgotten in the attic. I wish / could say
something romantic or healing—like we are the
wind and sky and moon—tears of love and joy.
But dreams tell nothing, we do not already
know. We sent off our best and they died—I
have not found a way to hide that pain.
Carlson, Paul Victor, USN. missing in action,
Republic of South Vietnam, February 12, 1967.
Rest in peace Paul, I try to live a part of each
day for you.
For the first time ever, the Adult and the Childrens summer reading clubs, though completely
separate, will have the same theme, Go for the Gold, to honor the 1996 Summer Olympics in

we encourage young and old to participate!

the American South. Library staff will as
sist with suggested tides.
The first 100 readers to finish the re
quired reading will receive a specially
printed “Olympic” sports bottle. There will
be some additional prizes! This year, regis

three new ways to
serve you better...
Program cards are required for any child
participating in one of our registered pro
grams. (Ticketed events, summer or winter
reading, or drop-in events are excluded.) Par
ents must present a Deerfield card at the Youth
Services desk to fill out a program card for
each child. These cards will have the infor
mation we need to register efficiently: name,
address, phone number and birth date. Once
a card is in our files, anyone you choose may
register your child either in person or by phone
for storytimes and workshops. Please fill out
these cards prior to registering for programs.
We have computer access to magazines for
children’s research. With Gateway Access,
you can search magazine, articles on topics of
current interest. You can search by subject or
keyword to locate article citations, abstracts,
and in many cases, the entire text. One of these
computers has a printer attached. Please ask
for assistance.
A CD-Rom computer can access a multimedia encyclopedia to help with home
work. We hope to add more research tools to
it in the future. Please remember that the en
cyclopedia is not a game. Children under
seven should use it only with a parents assis
tance. To be fair, please limit time.

“What are you going to do
with the east room now that
the fiction has been moved out? Its
so empty!” (The room presently
houses videos, music CD's and cas-
D
settes, books on tape and biogra
phies.)
A top priority of Library Direc
tor Jack Hicks and the Library
Board's building committee is a re
organization of the entire main floor,
part of a five year renovation plan.
It will take some time and patience
to insure quality renovation which
makes best use of available library
space. The Board is presently issu
ing requests for proposal to several
architects familiar with library
needs.
The Deerfield Library building
is 23 years old and it has been nec
essary to examine needs and reno
vate one area at a time. Library ma
terials and services have changed in
substance and format in 25 years.
The library currently offers com
puter technology, compact discs,
video and audio cassettes which did
not exist in years past. The accelera
tion of technology also has future
implications. The library was de
signed to shelve 65,000 volumes and
is currently housing 155,000 vol
umes. With anticipated renovation
of existing space, the library should
be able to shelve almost 200,000
volumes yet return openness and
grace to our public space.
Library construction last year in
cluded a new, large elevator, front
entrance doors, ramps, accessible

bathrooms, and lowered drinking
fountains and telephones to comply
with Americans With Disabilities
Act. Then came restructuring of
lower level space to provide a new
fiction room. The room, completed
in fall, now provides 37% more pub
lic floor space in a quiet, newly fur
nished, pleasing atmosphere.

Across the Librarian’s Desk
Cynics say there is no history and skeptics say that
if we do not learn from history, we are doomed to
repeat it. I would hope—living in the midst of the infor
mation age—that we can learn and profit from the
knowledge that is so close at hand. As we enter 1996
it appears to me that we as a people are poised on the
edge of a new age of isolationism. I mean this both as
an element of foreign policy and as a general alien
ation between us as individuals. The new-isolationists seem all too willing to replace Lindbergh, Father
Coughlin, the America Firsters and Senator Borah as
the next breed of American Know-Nothings. Maybe
the old term “Mugwump" should be revived. I think we
should look with great skepticism when politicians tell
us we should enter a new era of America First.
What we can do to reduce the distance between
us as individuals is up to us as individuals, but the for
eign policy posture of the country is a national decision
we should all be focused on. How this has happened
at a time of unprecedented global economy is beyond
me. In no way should the United States be involved in
military adventurism or act as policeman to the world;
neither can we sink our heads into the mud. We should
have learned the lessons of isolationism fifty years
ago—that wrongheaded idealists can take a noble
idea and pervert it into an enfeebled and discredited

flmi| Simon Booh Fund
rj he Amy Simon Book Fund
was started in August, 1991.
Since then the Fund has been
responsible for the purchase of over
200 books...books that the Deerfield
Library would not otherwise have
had the funds to purchase.
Amy Simon attended South Park
School, Caruso Junior High, Deerfield
High School, class of’84, and gradu
ated from Cornell University in
1988. She was a voracious reader of
all kinds of books and was a great
student of foreign languages. Amy
was fluent in French, German and
Russian by the time she graduated
college and she learned Arabic while
serving in the Peace Corps in Mo

legacy—but it seems too few of us remember.
I have on my desk an exceptional book about
a large group of ordinary Americans who did ex
traordinary things. It is Dauntless, the history of
the 99th Infantry Division during WWII. The 99th
was raised up with an incredible mixed collection

these Gl’s learned all the skills and horrors of war,
exhibited enormous courage and rendered many
sacrifices. They learned about life. Their life expectancy in a combat infantry line company was
extremely short. Company C, 395th Infantry Regiment of the 99th Division, for instance, started its
war with 193 men who trained together in the
American South; by May 1945, only20of the original men were still with the unit.

Yes, these men learned a lot about war in the
months they spent in combat in Europe but the
overall lesson is stated clearly in the Epilogue of
the combat history of Company C. Wesley Peyton
writes, “In the long view of fifty years, though, it is

| They helped destroy a truly evil regime which had jj

bors, is Charlie Company’s legacy. The men of j
Company C, 395th Infantry Regiment, 99th Divi- j

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

he Reference Department
will offer classes on use of
the online computer catalog
and Infotrac gateway to magazine
articles and company information.
(This is not a class on using a per

Classes will be held Saturdays at
10 a.m. on January 13, January 27,

Here are some inside tips on use
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
tionary—to check spelling and defi
nition of words and abbreviations.
InfoTrac: Business and Company
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
Assembly in recognition of outstanding
service to the community.
Our local author and Deerfield neigh
bor Lowell Komie has received the

for the 21st century, we renew our
commitment to reading and to pro

We now have a newly restructured

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.

librarian at the Deerfield Library’s Reference
Desk. Familiar to many, she has worked part
time in Reference for almost 10 years. Cindy
holds her Masters
Degree in Library
Science from Uni
versity of Illinois
and was Phi Beta
Kappa as an under
graduate at Denison
University. For 11
years she worked for
Evanston Library in
positions ofcataloger,
reference librarian
and Head of Reference. She lives in Deerfield
with husband Jon and daughter Amy. Cindy
has many hobbies, but particularly enjoys the
“detective work” of tracking down answers
to challenging reference questions!
Julie Sowles is Acting Head of the Youth
Services Department. Sally Margolis, former
department head, has left her position to live
in another state.
Neiu Video Rules!
As we head into the winter months, you can
anticipate borrowing videos from the library
collection free of charge, exceptfor newerfea
turefilms. The library board voted to permit
Deerfield cardholders to check out older fea
ture films, childrens, travel and subject vid
eos free for two days. Overdue fines will be
fifty cents per day on these. New feature films
will still cost $ l but for only a two day check
out period and SI a day fine if overdue. It is
not possible to give an exact starting date,
since the computer system must be repro
grammed to accomodate the new loan pro
cedure. As always, you must be 18 or older
to check out videos.
The Young People's Summer Reading Club
was a “tree-mendous” success, as 801 readers
participated. 55 S’T“A"R‘ volunteers helped
librarians, and PALS were reading buddies
with young readers.
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
elcome to our community!
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
where they purchased their card.
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

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.

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.
