�From the Director
In August 2022, the Library conducted
a community survey to see how we can
improve our services. This survey was the
first step in updating our strategic plan. We
promoted the survey on our website, social
media, newsletters and in-house. We had over
520 responses. And, I’m happy to report that
most of our survey respondents are satisfied
with the services the Library provides.
Our survey responders want more of all the things that the
Library provides. Most survey takers (42%) also visit the Library
once a week. (If you’re a regular reader of this column, you know
that I grew up visiting my local public library branch weekly, so I
appreciate that this is still a thing!)
More than 360 survey takers are interested in expanding our
Library of Things collection. An equal number is interested in
the Library having more special STEM programs as well.
We heard that people are interested in additional comfortable
seating and study areas.
In addition, survey takers want to learn more about the services
that they didn’t know we had. We are committed to effectively
promoting our resources and services, and will work creatively
to meet that need. One great way to learn more about our
services is through our twice monthly e-newsletter. It is a
quick and informative read. If you’re not yet a subscriber, sign
up today! The link is on the lower left of the front page of our
website (deerfieldlibrary.org).
This year, the Board will approve a new Strategic Plan using
some of the data from the survey. This will help our staff
continue to make DPL an even better public library. Watch our
website for more information.
As always, please feel free to reach out to me with any questions
or comments at amy@deerfieldlibrary.org.
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director
DPL Tournament of Books: 10th Season!
Was your vote one of the 17,441 votes cast in last year’s DPL Tournament of Books? Did your favorite book make it to the Championship
Round? If not, then maybe this year a new favorite will make it to the
top in what we expect to be the most exciting season ever. Yes, get
ready for the 10th anniversary season of the Tournament of Books!
If you’re new to the Tournament, last year readers voted for their
favorite picture books, early readers, graphic novels, chapter books,
juvenile fiction and non-fiction, and teen titles. Voting is open to all
ages! Voting is online at deerfieldlibrary.org/tournament-of-books,
and DPS 109 students can vote in their school library.
In celebration of the 10th season of the Tournament, we will
be introducing two new brackets: Series and Manga. The
Series bracket was a suggestion from readers and experienced
Tournament participants: Lucy Bohrer and Charlie Plocker, both
5th grade students at Wilmot.
DPL School Outreach Coordinator Kary Henry (and Tournament
coordinator) recently visited Wilmot School to get some Tournament
insights from Lucy, Charlie, and the school’s Library Information
Specialist, Andrea Lathan.
Lucy and Charlie say they really enjoy participating in the annual
event. “The Tournament gets me thinking about what genres I most
like to read,” said Lucy. One of her favorites is historical fiction. Charlie
also likes historical fiction, and is a fan of sports-themed fiction. “I
enjoy participating in the Tournament because I find out about new
titles, and end up reading books that I might otherwise not have tried
out,” said Charlie.
When the Tournament was first introduced in 2013, there were only
117 votes cast. But for the second year, DPL began a partnership with
DPS 109, and participation grew exponentially. Ms. Henry is grateful
to the schools’ Library Media Specialists: “Without their support, we
would never reach this many students and garner this many votes!”
A couple of frequently asked questions about the Tournament are:
• How are the books selected for the initial Round of 32? They are
the highest circulating books at DPL during the previous year.
• How many times can you vote? As many times as you want!
Charlie and Lucy both say they vote about five times per round,
and a few times more for books they really love. “Yes, the
competitive spirit heats up when you really love a book,” said
Ms. Lathan. “I’ve seen some students vote 20-30 times for one title!”
“When we are in line waiting to vote in the Tournament, we often
discuss the books and find out how people plan to vote,” said Lucy.
Charlie makes a point that “the discussions do not sway his vote,”
and Lucy seconded that.
With the tips from Lucy, Charlie, and Ms. Lathan in hand, get ready
and get reading for Tournament of Books 2023. Voting starts April 4.
Vote early, vote often! @ deerfieldlibrary.org/tournament-of-books

Join us for a special event recognizing the community’s 2nd Anniversary as a Dementia Friendly
Community. The event is presented by West Deerfield Township, Deerfield Public Library,

Topics:
• How does dementia affect an individual and their caregiver?
• What “conversations” help people face this disease?

The program is open to all. Please register in advance by phone (847.945.3311),
online (deerfieldlibrary.org) or in-person at the Library.

thought, and often circumstances much stimulated the
desire to be free and raised great expectation of it"—
Ambrose Headen, born 1822, enslaved in North
Carolina and Alabama.

PATRIOT ACT
People have asked me about the
Patriot Act and what the controversy is
all about regarding libraries. In short,
it is Federal legislation enacted shortly
after the 9-11 catastrophe that allows
the government—the FBI—to look at
library patrons’ record files, Internet
access records, and any other record
the Library keeps on its users or rou
tine internal files used to operate the
Library. This can be done without ben
efit of traditional due process proce
dures and carries extreme penalties to
the Librarian for non-compliance,
quick punishment if information about
this governmental access is revealed—
to anyone. The genesis of this Act
stems from the idea that the 9-11 ter
rorists used libraries as a base for their
communication activities.
Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis
said ‘The greatest dangers to liberty
lurk in the insidious encroachment by
men of zeal, well meaning but without
understanding.” Libraries have tradi
tionally been strongholds of the
Constitution’s guarantee of freedom of
speech, the right to privacy, and the
freedom of inquiry. Patron privacy and
confidentiality have always been guiding

Library ever been approached by the govern name and the time does not ensure privacy. I am dead-sure that the

internet foray or e-mail no matter how long they have been erased.
Some libraries have posted large signs warning their clients of this
legislation. I have been asked why I have not put up disclaimer
signs like this informing our residents that their library records might
be reviewed by the government without notice. The answer is sim
ple: if I put up warning signs I would compromise even more the
public’s reasonable expectation of privacy by warning them that in
the library, privacy does not exist. Signs cancel any vestige of privacy.
The Library has always followed, and will continue to follow the
Illinois Compiled Statutes—provision 75ILCS 70/1-2—‘The
Library Records Confidentiality Act”— which deals directly with the
explicit right of all citizens to have their library records held in con
fidence, but frankly that law is preempted and powerless in regard to
the Patriot Act. I will take every measure in my power to ensure
each resident’s right to privacy and confidentiality—but I am duty
and honor bound to fully comply with the spirit and the letter of the
Federal law.

Graphic Artist Betty Reschke:
In Memoriam
On April 23,2003 the Deerfield Library
staff lost a dear friend, who this year cele
brated 34 years as a library employee. When
our California-born graphic artist Betty was
first employed the library was located in
what is now the West Deerfield Township
Office. In the present building her artistic
flair blossomed in a “behind the scenes”
I have no problem with the concepts surrounding national security.
Surely, only a fool would think that we are not all vulnerable to
internal terrorist acts and that these acts do not pose a
serious, palpable reality. It is impossible for us to consider these
issues wholly within the framework of the old ideas we held near
and dear before the tragedy of 9-11.1 guess what bothers me about
the Patriot Act is not that libraries have been thrust into the middle
of a debate not of their making where they had no input, nor the lack
of traditional due process, nor the invasion of privacy, nor the
implied violation of hard won and cherished First Amendment
rights. What does trouble me is that the Patriot Act can easily be
seen as an insidious encroachment, first-step, beginning of an omni
scient government. I certainly question the need for that step in a
Constitutional Democracy. I am afraid, after all, that “the fault dear
Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves”.

workroom. She sewed hundreds of original
puppets for the library’s puppet theater, pre
pared posters for our programs using an
ancient printing press, built large structures
such as the 4th of July bookworm, a bam, a
mural, exhibits and displays and fashioned
countless creative projects. She responded
immediately to our often last-minute
requests. When she took ill several months
ago she was re-sewing, for the umpteenth
time, the cloth furniture and inhabitants of
the little tree house (dollhouse) that has been
a fixture in the Childrens’ department for
decades. Betty had a multitude of interests
including golf, swimming, jazz (especially
at Ravinia), nature, the Southwest, and her
Michigan summer retreat. Her many talents
and cheerful smile will be greatly missed by
the library staff and the public who so
admired her hard work. In a 1997 Deerfield
Review article celebrating the library’s 70th
anniversary, Betty’s photo was featured and
she modestly responded about her long
tenure at the library “It’s just an enjoyable
way to pass the time!” Betty lived in
Highland Park and leaves two daughters.
Her husband passed away several years ago.
Youth Services’ Cindy Schilling holds the new puppets
made by Betty this year. Cindy, a 13 year library
employee, has just recently received her Masters in
Library Science and we are proud of her!
�prom Sunday Mueller,
Newly Elected Library
Board President
What ayear ahead on the library board!
0„e of the challenges and greatest responsibilities
of a board is long range planning, taking that long,
hard look into the future and developing a vision
as well as the plan to achieve it. Your library board
is in full gear in this endeavor.
We have been pleased to see the telephone survey
results of over 1,000 area residents. Your thoughts
and suggestions are helping us identify the issues
to be explored in the 15 focus groups to be held
this summer. If you can participate in one of these
groups, please do.
Our job as board members is to represent you, the
community and all its diverse components, to our
library. When considering changes to its operation,
we strive to keep in mind all our constituencies
and tty' to balance the needs of each group.
Fortunately, the members of our board directly rep
resent most of these groups and we are all frequent
users of the library’s materials and facilities. Our
efforts are easily a “labor of love”.
I am pleased to serve as the incoming president
and have several goals for the year ahead. Chief
among them is reaching out to those of you who
visit the library less frequently. I hope we can
familiarize you with the wonderful services avail
able there, including the services of our very peo
ple friendly reference librarians. They stand ready
and eager to help you find answers to your ques
tions, to show you some of our amazing reference
materials, and to help you search the ‘Net quickly
and effectively. Considering the immense amount
af information “out there”, I think you’ll find a
Jbranan to be a valuable research partner.

Barns never fell down when I was a kid. Yet as
you drive across rural America today that is the com
mon denominator of all states-barns falling down. I
have been struck by this phenomenon for quite some
time and I am pretty sure about what it means. Is it
the rise of absentee landlords, loss of output, lack of
self respect, closing out of the smaller farms, or what
I suspect most: a continued depopulation of rural
America? Actually it is all of these things, and more.
This represents a real change for the heartland
of America. No longer the rock-ribbed center of our
society, rural America now is owned and managed
by large real estate conglomerates, populated during
desirable weather by rich urban rusticators Land not
given over to rustication by urban dudes in their pickup
trucks and useless four-wheel drives has been sec
onded into giant 3000 acre farms churning out a gross
national agricultural product big enough to feed China.
All overseen by banks more interested in the bottom
line than abstractions like rural life.
These events force more and more rural folks off
the lands, raise their taxes, close them out of land
ownership, and give the most choice parcels to city

continued from pagel
people. Of course they let their barns fall
down. But what is this doing to us as a
society? Seeing my grandparents’ home
town of Rockwell City. Iowa not as a cru
cible of commerce, or trumpet of trade, but
as a forlorn relic really hurts. Where are
all the rural Americans, why did they go.
and where do they live now?
The reasons are almost as simple as
the enclosure laws that preceded the In
dustrial Revolution. Farms expanded in
size as units of service, the 1970's and
1980's bankrupted what was left of the
family farm, herbicides, pesticides and a
liquid nitrogen changed the way anything
is raised in America. When I was a kid, a
large hog farm was 100 porkers. Today,
across America, a large hog operation is
a hundred thousand hogs fouling the air
and water for five hundred square miles.
Not only a change in farming, but a mas
sive incursion into the environment as well
as the social strata of rural America. In
urban Chicago welfare is a code word for
racism; in rural America welfare means
half the shrunken population of any given
county.
Why mourn these changes? I suppose
at the basic level it is a feeling for me of a
personal loss of identity. I knew and iden
tified with a way of life that is gone forever.
But I also mourn the loss of a value sys
tem that placed family first, hard work and
industry second, with education underlay
ing both ideas. Instead of a therapist, a tight
knit circle of relatives and friends provided
support and comfort. I look at my grand
parents' home and remember a college
professor, banker, a head of a Fortune 500
company who grew up there. Now it looks
like someone who married his sister lives
there.
Where they all went is a mystery to me.
Many went on to college and never looked
back, others disappeared into low-paying
industrial jobs in the rust belt. But so many
characters I knew as a kid could never sur
vive in the city—no skills, eccentric beyond
description, independent beyond taming.

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.
