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
REMINDER
A more telling comment would be how
much Deerfield has remained as it was:
The same interesting residents, who show

Librarian, and a member of the

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. ■
