1984 has arrived ten years late and it is
being hailed as the dawn of a new day. What I
am concerned about is the advent of political
correctness. How this has happened, and how
it has been passively accepted defy my imagi
nation. Maybe the past thirty years have inured
us to accept the unacceptable. It has been a
rough thirty years—Viet Nam, Watergate,
Irangate, the Persian War, stagflation, reces
-ll
well as the disintegration of the Soviet Union.

Donald P. Van Arsdale has been

retiring Rosemary Sazonoff. Van
Arsdale is Executive Director of
The Winnetka Community House.
A graduate of Western Illinois

boards. He said, “I’m happy to

When I was a teenager I was an insatiable

abilty to move me in time and place and
put me directly into the story being told.
What stands out about all the reading was
my free choice and access to read any
thing I wanted. Free choice is what makes
us Americans.
Can kids make those same free
choices today when they want to read or
even watch TV? I hope so, but I don’t
know for how long. Political correctness is
a fundamental challenge to the
Constitution and the Bill of Rights that
could block access to information, stymie
free inquiry, hamper the right to receive
information, stop freedom of the press. It
has already deeply damaged freedom of
speech. College campuses across the
U.S. have become deeply attached to pc;
in fact, many of them employ the equiva
lent of thought police to insure doctrinal
purity. My problem is whose doctrine,
whose purity? In the condescending clam
our to do good and be nice, are we throw
ing away our crucial civil rights?
My own professional organization,
the American Library Association,
embraces and advocates politically cor
rect speech and thought. Their new ortho
doxy is placing them far from many librari
ans who still believe in the Bill of Rights.
By no means do I want to return to an era
of racial, religious, sexist and gender slurs
and epithets. But I reject the prison of polit
ical correctness as an even more danger
ous social evil. It reminds me all too much
of my neighbor from the Soviet Union chill
ingly dismissing her father's tenure in the
Siberian Gulag as the result of "merely not
being correct with government." Let's hope
I turn out to be wrong when I sa$< 1984 has
come ten years late.Has anyone read
Orwell's 1984 lately?.
The books I am recommending this
month are all nonfiction and cover a wide
field of experience. The Roosevelts by Peter
Collier. Leading With My Heart by Virginia
Kelley. Life of the Party by Chris Ogden,
and finally Land Where the Blues Began by
Alan Lomax. Like Bill Clinton or not, you
can't help but like his mother and her can
dor. Alan Lomax has chronicled American
music for most of this century and knows
the themes and rhythm of blues music like
no one else. Pamela Digby Churchill
Hayward Harriman was indeed the "life of
the party" and knew all the rich and power
ful on both sides of the Atlantic for the past
fifty years. (And married most of them!) The
Roosevelts is a fine essay on money, poli
tics. power and arguably the most important
political family in U.S. history.

Deerfield. IL 60015
Summer 1990
Vol. 5, No. 3
/lcn,<x44 t&e
What is going to happen to fiction in the
next few years? A real genre staple has been
the anti-Russian-Berlin Wall-British-spyas-savior book. Deighton, Clancy,
LeCarre, Follett, Ludlum, Higgins—the
list goes on forever—have made a cottage
industry and sizeable fortunes bashing the
USSR and the Berlin Wall. What are they
going to do without those all-powerful com
rades to knock flat? The thread of so many
books has been villain-as-non-person; hurt,
violently punished, crushed and shot to
pieces because he deserved it.
Since fiction so often closely reflects
values of the Society in which it was writ
ten, what will the future hold and will the
new array of slimy villains be from the
U.S., or Asia, or the Middle-East? These
books have angry themes of alienation, with
convenient targets for our aggressions.
Hopefully, Fiction will see a renaissance of
creative ideas with a message of reconcilia
tion, gentleness, and healing.
Can the literary conventions we have all
come to accept collapse of their own weight
like the Berlin Wall, or will we insist on a
clone-like perpetuation of the themes of
hate and alienation for the next decade? I
certainly hope that writers don't seek out
the nearest enemy and reinvent this genre
all over again. With the runaway success of
*'
the movie, “Hunt for Red October,
maybe I'm the only one who would like to
see an end to hate and fear in our everyday
reading.
The book we are recommending this
month comes from Martha Sloan, our
Readers’ Services Librarian, who thinks
very highly of Floating in my Mother’s
Palm, by Ursula Hegi, a novel which
evokes a warm and loving childhood in
postwar Germany where Hiker’s name is
never mentioned.
----- Jack Alan Hicks
Administrative Librarian
No chance for boredom when you
‘ ‘beach it” staying tuned to Station READ
for fun, reading relaxation and prizes in the
Youth Services Department this summer.
The Summer Reading Club begins the
week of June 18 and enrollment is
unlimited! Books you read will be record
ed on a jukebox folder. Preschoolers and
kindergarteners can join their own Read To
Me Club, and fill their beach bucket folder
with their favorite titles. The last day to
report on books will be Friday, July 27.
Remember: the greatest reading hits will
be found at 1990 on your Waukegan Road
dial! Grab your radio, beach chair,
sunglasses and books and join us. See
Young People’s page inside for more sum
mer fun at the library and stop in for a
summer program booklist.
So, What’s New?
Look around and you will see many new
improvements designed to serve you better.
—Photocopy charges have been reduced
from 15 cents to 10 cents.
—Lights in the upstairs meeting room
improved to raise the candlepower and
light diffusion; dimmer switches for con
venience, Juno track lights “on stage’’ so
evening program speakers can be seen as
well as heard! New microphones and sound
systems also have been installed in both
meeting rooms.
—New shelving in the fiction room to pro
vide more space for new fiction, all Large
Print books, and most of the libraries’ short
story collections. Short stories including
mysteries and science fiction are now com
ing together in one place for convenient
browsing!
—Minolta Reader Printer replaces a
17-year-old Kodak machine that no longer
is repaired by Kodak. The Minolta 605 uses
standard paper and dry copier chemicals,
zoom lens and motor drive for clearer,
cleaner microfilm copies. It makes white on
black or black on white paper copies.
Assistance from librarians is required
for use.
—Window film on the west windows, 3M
gradient densisty mylar film designed to cut
the heat penetration by 60%, cut glare by
57% and block all ultraviolet rays for
coolness and comfort in the library.
—New IBM series computer for public
use in Young People’s area.
—Coming attractions: Look for a new
system that will bring you current “hot”
books faster, and look for a new sign out
side the library to make the library’s loca
tion more visible.

Programs in the library arefree, but reser

you’ve missed.
Thursday, August 2, 10:30 a.m.: On-theRoad Books of the 80’s: young and old
have now joined in the Huck Finn tradition;
let’s talk about it!
And The
Winners Are
As a National Library Week celebration,
the library sponsored a Reach for a Star
Contest, asking patrons to tell which books
made an impact on their lives. The votes are
in, as Deerfield Friends of the Library
members Cathy Chay, Lois Stransky, and
Jean Lucas judged the entries:
First prize: Children and Their Parents:
Toward Maturity, by Suzanne Fremon,
1968, submitted by Joan Freedman.
This book changed the kind of parent I
was and had lasting effects not only on me
but on my children. It helped me focus on
our main goal of fostering their positive
growth and development and our relation
ship with them....

Second prize: Remembrance of Things
Past, by Marcel Proust, submitted by June
Hamer.
“My favorite books are the seven
volumes of Remembrance...From this
work I have learned to love everyone and
see beauty everywhere. The writing is so
brilliant, exquisite, and refined that I am not
willing for a day to pass without dipping in
to one of these volumes. In time of crisis,
remembering the priorities...helped me
respond and brought us together in work
ing to solve each problem.

“I Can’t Find
That Book”
TRAVEL TOUR:
Historic Homes in Chicago
Saturday, July 28, 9:00 a.m.
An air conditioned deluxe motorcoach
will meet us at the door of the Deerfield
Library at 9:00 a.m. to explore early
residential areas and homes in the City of
Chicago. Included in the tour will be a visit
to the Henry B. Clarke House built in 1836;
it is restored to its original state and filled
with authentic objects from this time
period. In addition to a complete luncheon
at Le Loup, we will be touring landmark
neighborhoods with a number of architec
tural styles, and visit a charming liv
ing/studio/gallery space of one of the city’s
creative artists in Bucktown. We shall
return to the library at 2:45 p.m. Cost of the
tour is $39.50 per person, and this nonreftindable payment (to Deerfield Library)
is required before June 27. Come along!
(What happens when you lose your
library book, cassette, etc.)
If you lose an item, our goal is to recover
the original copy whenever possible,
because replacing materials can easily cost
the library almost twice the purchase price.
Why? Because replacement involves up
dating computer files, reordering and
recataloging the book, re-labeling it with
new pocket and cover, and preparing it for
circulation.
To cover these costs, many libraries
charge patrons large fines or a processing
fee in addition to the price of the book. Here
at Deerfield, we only charge the purchase
price, but we do wait two months for the
book to be found before billing you. Dur
ing this waiting period, circulation staff will
remind you about the missing book each
lime you use your library card—unless you
beat them to it by saying you found it!
Moral of this story—the book may be in
your car, or hidden behind the VCR—keep
searching!
Third prize: Profiles in Courage, by John
F. Kennedy, submitted by Howard Richter.
“A single line, ‘of course everyone is
familiar with the courage shown by John
Adams in his defense of the British soldic
in the Boston Massacre’ stumped m
history teacher, 2 librarians and a U. of
Penn, professor. It became the term paper
of this previously non motivated high
school student leading to my original
research in Boston and the National Ar
chives before I was 17, and later an M.A.
in history.

IRS volunteer William Courmier of
Deerfield says all records were broken this
year, as his group offered free assistance to
over 200 Deerfield taxpayers at the library.
Thanks to the Deerfield Garden Club for

Our discard is your treasure: Look for
many books on the library sale racks this

major, much needed weeding process
(discarding older, unused books) and the
books may be yours for a song.
Best bargain in town...Deerfield card
holders can check out 4 videos for only SI
