Librarian in the Lobby:
Now in 10th Year!
On the second Saturday of each month,
(September 8, October 13 and
November 10) from 9 a.m. to noon in
the library lobby, library visitors can
talk informally with Administrative
Librarian Jack Hicks along with one of
the members of the library board of
trustees. As a result of these years of
active listening, many changes in tech
nology, in services, in policies and in
the building itself have been made in
response to patron suggestions. This
“longest running focus group in town”
has also improved accountability and
visibility for library administrators who
are more in touch with day to day
library issues.

I never thought I would live to see Pearl Harbor
become a commodity. The Pearl Harbor attack was
a national tragedy whose effect we feel sixty years
after it happened. Now we have a film of the sneak
attack which not only gets history very wrong but
sanitizes the whole event into politically correct
entertainment. For many reasons, this film is a dis
service to both history and the men and women
who died on December 7th, 1941. For the U.S.,
Pearl Harbor was perhaps the formative event of the 20th Century. It has
dominated U.S. military and foreign policy for sixty years. I am not criti
cizing the current film, in fact its use of computer animation is nothing
short of fantastic, but I am criticizing Hollywood’s misuse of history.
Why worry about a film's inaccurate portrayal of an historic event?
Recent studies indicate that less than 50% of the American public reads
anything at all—no magazines, no newspapers, no books, no recipes,
nothing. That is a disgraceful problem. If half the people get all their
information and form decisions based on what they hear on radio, see on
tv, and watch at the movies, and all history is presented via the media in
the form of special effects entertainment, we as a nation are trading on
the dangerous ground of delusion. To think that people watch Oliver
Stone's warped versions of history and do not know that these films are
gross distortions is a sobering, upsetting, notion. The old adage is true: a
person who doesn't read is no better off than the person who can't read.
Not long ago a young man writing an honors paper about Pearl Harbor
asked me if I could help him with his research. His thesis was simple: the
Japanese had attacked Pearl Harbor in order to get control of the atomic
bomb. When I showed him that the atomic bomb did not exist at the time
of Pearl Harbor, that in fact the bomb existed only as a response to that
attack, the young man recoiled at the idea. Why then did the Japanese
mount the attack? When I showed him that the attack was aimed at
destroying the American Navy, he became incredulous and quite hostile.
Why on earth would the Japanese do that? Why indeed? The recent
film doesn’t give anyone a clue, it provides no historical context, draws
bizarre conclusions, presents a depersonalized catastrophe as history. If
the film had just stuck to drama it would be fine, but as presented it dis
graces an event that is sacred in American history.
I guess there is another deep down, nagging, issue for me. So many
films like Platoon, Born on the Fourth of July, Apocalypse Now, The Thin
Red Line, even the goofy Patton, (with a notable exception of the absur
dist noir classic, Dr. Strange!ove,) pose as anti-war films. It gives them a
chic legitimacy, a closer look convinces that these are not anti-war films
at all. At heart they are anti-military, yet glory in death, violence, and
atrocity. It doesn’t trouble me that people flock to see films that revel in
violence, it bothers me that they accept what they have seen as truth and
fact. If you need to see an anti-war film look at All Quiet on the Western
Front, or Glory. If you want to see the real results of war, look at Shoah,
The Sorrow and the Pity, The Best Years of Our Lives, or the chilling
recent Macedonian film, Before the Rain. For anti-war films that pull no
punches, find the older Japanese films, Harp of Burma or Fires on the
Plain. Better than that, read any recent Time article about the Serbian
massacres at Suva Reka. But if history must be learned from film and
media, look at sources that put history into clear focus, not films that
ask us to accept death as entertainment and distorted history as reality.

Take a book to bed, not to bath!
Books and water don’t mix. Literally hundreds
of books have been returned to the library in a
dampened, unusable condition. Since others
are waiting for the book you have on loan,
please handle carefully and remember that
other people want to read this same book.
When the library must replace a damaged
book, there is a charge for the book and an
additional $5.00 processing fee. Why? Glenn
Poch, Head of Technical Services, says that
book (and cassette) processing is time con
suming and costly. We cannnot simply switch
with a new book from a book store. Often we
buy books specifically bound for heavy library
use. Preparationfor patron use includes: with
drawing the damaged book, reordering, receiv
ing, invoicing, cataloging, adding to our data
base, labeling, adding security & date due
slips, laminating and stamping. Also add the
cost of bar codes and other materials to staff
time. It takes a whole Technical Services
Department to handle withdrawing, purchas
ing, and preparation of the materials you and
others want to borrow!

COURTAULD ART PREVIEW IS DECEMBER 7
As a special holiday treat, the
Deerfield Public Library will
present a preview slide/lecture
showing of the Impressionist and
Post-Impressionist Masterpieces:
The Courtauld Collection. The
presentation will begin at 7:30
p.m. Monday, December 7 in the
Eleanore T. Dawe Room.
Through the eyes of the artists,
Lee Gibbs will present many
views of 19th century French
life with a humanistic as well as
artistic approach. The artists
specialized in animation and
flux, illuminating shadows,
heightening colors and catching
the moment. Their brushstrokes
became mist, sparkle, shimmer
and brightness.
The collection, one of the
world’s most outstanding, is on
special loan until Jan. 3 to the
Art Institute of Chicago, from
the University of London’s
Courtauld Institute. It contains
many of the most important
French paintings of the period
from 1870 to 1910. The 48
selected paintings on view
include best known and beloved
works by Manet, Degas, Monet,
Renoir, Cezanne, Seurat,
VanGogh, Gauguin, and
Toulouse Lautrec among many
others.
Lee Gibbs, guest lecturer, is a
world traveled lecturer and

LIBRARY/SCHOOL COOPERATION
IS WINNING IDEA
Jack Hicks, Head of the
Reference Dept., Deerfield
Public Library, and Gerri
Spinella, Language Arts teacher
at Wilmot Junior High, District
109, co-present a program at this
years’ Midwest Federation of
Library Associations Convention
in Indianapolis. Their program,
Library Instruction for Junior
High Students, was selected as a
unique example of cooperation
between two diverse community
organizations.
For the past seven years
Deerfield Public Library and
Wilmot Jr. High have conducted
a joint research skills program.
What started out on a casual
basis has grown into a significant
learning experience for the 8th
Grade students from Wilmot Jr.
High. Librarians and teachers
alike are enthusiastic about the
success of the project, which in
the past year was nominated as a
“Winning Curriculum Idea” by
the National Association of
Professional Educators.
Students are instructed in the
use of library reference
materials, the research process,
and the compiling of
bibliographies. The goal of the
projects is to increase the
students’ library skills, assure
success instead of frustration
when the student confronts
research for the first time,
demystify the library, and make
the students feel that library
research is within their
capabilities.

FOR THE NEW YEAR!
Mark calendars now for some
enlightening, free programs
scheduled for 1988 at Deerfield
Public Library. All programs

MONDAY, JANUARY 11 CHOICES FOR A RICHER
LIFE
“It’s great to have a genie to
press magic buttons, but it is
better to be your own genie;get
rid of the indecision, doubt and
fear. A richer life is a state of
mind’’ says Linda Fallucca,
Ph.D. Her 23 years as a
psychotherapist with intuitive
abilities will bring a unique
understanding to how we can
use our own intuition to make
posi tive* choices. We CAN
control our thoughts, attitudes,
actions and beliefs to choose a
richer life.
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 20 “NIPS, TUCKS AND YOU”
If the January blahs lead you to
begin thinking about tummy
tucks, face lifts, or other ways to
look and feel better, Cosmetic
Surgeon Steven Bloch of
Highland Park Hospital will offer
some of the pros and cons at this
evening meeting. Come take a
peek at some before and after
photos, and consider the
possibilities. The doctor will
focus on how it all affects you.
SUNDAY, JANUARY 24
This is a special event that
launches our new year at the
library and promises to be a
pretty terrific afternoon for the
whole family. Information will

Cannon is associated with a
number of area hospitals
including Highland Park,

DO NOW?
Just named by Money Magazine
as one of America’s best tax
practitioners, Gary S. Hart, a

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 23 NEPAL ADVENTURE
Trekking season is almost upon
us and before guide Jim
Crosswhite leaves for Nepal he
visits Deerfield to take us on an
“armchair” ride to Nepal in the
Himalayas to trek the highest
mountain on Earth. Crosswhite
has trekked for months in Nepal,
rafted its rivers, and tracked
rhino on foot all within the
shadow of Mt. Everest. You’ll
view it all here in the library.
FROM THE EXECUTIVE
LIBRARIAN......
Noreen Curulewski had been
here almost twenty years as
Head of Circulation when she
retired in September to a new
home in California with her
husband Frank.
Always optimistic and cheerful,
she was liked by staff and
patrons alike. She was here when
I came. Together we experienced
a referendum, a building
program, a move, expansion, and
the introduction of automation - - and those are just the
highlights!
She inspired great loyalty on the
part of her staff, and always gave
one hundred percent of herself
to whatever needed to be done.
We wish her the best of
everything and hope that she’ll
keep us posted on what’s going
on in her new life.

WHAT DR. RUTH FORGOT
TO TELL YOU: THE FACTS
On Tuesday, December 1,
Highland Park Hospital
obstetrician-gynecologist Doctor
Michael Benson will give a talk
at the library on basic sex facts.
He will review fertility,
contraception, sexually
transmitted diseases, and sexual

most adults in the United States
do not know the fertile time in a
woman’s menstrual cycle.
Sexually transmitted diseases are
becoming epidemic and teen
pregnancy rate in this country is
the highest in the developed
world. Despite all of the media
exposure, there are still
misunderstandings. A question
and answer session follows his
presentation which is open to
the public and begins at 7:30
p.m.
�STAFF APPOINTMENTS

to Circulation Supervisor. She is
a Deerfield resident, with five
children, who has been
Circulation Clerk at the library

Relations and Programming. She
will also assist at the Reference
Desk. A native Clevelander, she

Library Science from Case
Western Reserve University and
has worked as a librarian in
school, academic and public
libraries. For ten years she was
Editor/ Publicist at Case Western
Reserve University Libraries
specializing in library public
relations. An active member of
the American Library
Association, she was elected
chair of the executive committee
of the 2000 member Public
Relations Section and has led
many of its committees. Most
