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
University, he was formerly em
ployed by area park districts and
has served on several non profit
boards. He said, “I’m happy to
serve the people of Deerfield in
this wonderful library and hope to
contribute my many years of pub

Mary and daughter Karen have
lived in Deerfield since 1990.

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.

FALL, 1993
DEERFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY
Across the
Librarian’s Desk
iving in suburban Lake County it
is easy to forget that Illinois has a
historical past as rich and varied
as any state in the USA. We all know about
Abraham Lincoln, but the story of Illinois
is an incredible tapestry of people and
events that cover far more than only one
man. For instance, how many people
know that George Rogers Clark marched a
Revolutionary War army straight across
Illinois to attack the fort at Vincennes,
Indiana, from the west? Or, that at its
peak, Cahokia Mounds was one of the
largest cities in the world?

Nauvoo, Galena, Shawnee Town and the
Cahokia Mounds—a site of such interna
tional importance that it has UNESCO
protection. Luckily, you do not have to go
very far to experience our own history.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of
the Deerfield Area Historical Society and
Historic Village. The Society was here
when I moved to Deerfield 21 years ago
and I assumed it had been a Deerfield fix
ture for ever—and was somehow selfperpetuating. Jo Gourley says it best,
"Thousands of hours of dedication, devo
tion, and hard work later we have a
whole Historic Village."
What I have learned over time, of course,
is that the Historic Village is not self-per
petuating, and what a huge difference a

Library Can Serve Special Needs
To comply with the new Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA), the Deerfield
Library is in the process of installing a new
accessible elevator, accessible restrooms,
lowered telephone, lowered Circulation
Desk, lowered drinking fountains, assisted
door openers, ramps, signage, and new
door hardware.
The Library has also added a Visual-Tek
magnifying reader, a TDD telephone for
communications and will add a new ADA
catalog terminal. The Chicagoland Radio
Information Service has also provided
two radios which offer news from local
newspapers for patron use. If you or anyone
you know requires any accommodation
or if you have a question about ADA
compliance, please call the Administrative
Librarian at 945-3311.
The library maintains a large selection of
large print books, books on tape, and has
home delivery through our Books-To-Go
program. We also can be a contact for the
Library of Congress talking book program,
The Library staff is always interested in
your suggestions.
It Would Help Us If:
• You bring your library card when you want
to take out a book. In lieu of your card,
you must have a valid i.d.
• Should you lose a book and need to pay for
it, we must replace the book; do not
bring us your replacement.
0 If you have ordered an interlibrary loan
book, we will call when it arrives. Please be
\ sure to pick it up. Library statistics show that
the average cost for a completed interlibrary
loan transaction can be $30. This is a free
service to our patrons.
• If your community organization needs to
book a meeting room, one of your group
must have a Deerfield Library card.
Reservations may only be made 3 months
in advance.
Librarian in the Library
Jack Hicks, Library Director and a member
of the Board of Trustees will continue their
successful monthly "in person suggestion
box" on Tuesday, September 14 from 7 to 9
p.m. They will meet the public informally
in the front lobby to listen to ideas, con
cerns and plaudits from community resi
dents. Librarian in the Lobby will also
meet the public on Monday evenings,
October 11 and November 8.

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

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

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. ■
