My Uncle Alan
to played golf with
Babe Ruth. Ruth
was barnstorming
across the country
with cronies and stopped, for reasons
unknown, in my Uncle’s hometown
of Rockwell City, Iowa. He wanted to
play golf and asked for the top golfer
in town as a partner. That was my
Uncle, then a teenager, Alan Voss.
Aside from family photos and
memories and faded “Rockwell City
Advocate” newspaper clippings, that
minor piece of Rockwell City history
is lost forever in the vast series of
events that happen in towns small
and large across our country. Oh, yes,
Alan won the golf match. My Mother
always said the Babe was driving a
“big, open, yellow touring car”
himself.
Such oral history and family
stories enrich our past and have
much to tell us today. These stories
tell us where we came from and who
we are. Unfortunately, this kind of
history seldom gets written down and
then is lost forever. Everybody has a
story to tell and we want to collect

Long Range Plan Continues to Develop
By Sunday Mueller, Board President
Over the last year the Library Board of Trustees has been hard at work in developing a
long range plan for the Deerfield Library. When it is finalized, the board will release
its written plan to stand as a blueprint for the future. Key components of the plan will
include both the library’s operations and facilities.
Public Opinion Laboratories (POL) of Northern Illinois University conducted a
telephone survey this past spring, completing 1,000 interviews with Deerfield,
Bannockburn and Riverwoods residents. Many of the respondents especially valued the
library’s accessible location and Children’s Department. The Adult Fiction Room
received high marks and there was a stated desire to enhance the audiovisual and non
fiction holdings. Other respondents indicated use of multiple libraries, and the data was
helpful in providing insights about the reasons for that use.
Hoping to gather in depth opinions about the library, the Board commissioned
POL to conduct focus groups. Twelve focus groups were held over the summer with
ten different subgroups of residents. Grouping the participants allowed the moderator
to explore issues of special interest to that particular group. As one might expect, the
opinions from these groups were varied but common themes were identified.
Since the library’s current physical space is fully utilized, we hired Anders
Dahlgren of Library Planning Associates, Inc. to assess the current space needs of the
library. Using more conventional space allocations (wider aisles, lower shelving) as
well as the proper amount of seating space, it would take a building about 50% larger
just to house our current holdings and services. Dahlgren is now working on an
estimate of long range space needs based on projected holdings, program of services,
new services and overall projected growth for the next 25 years.
As we continue this process, there will be more information needed and many
options examined. As you can guess, the board has spent many hours on this project
and knows there are many more ahead. The board is totally committed to creating a
vision that best meets the needs of current and future library users — using the
interviews, focus groups and space needs study as a source of direction. We will share
this vision as it unfolds in ftiture issues of Browsing.

Are You a Poet and You Don’t Know It?
Rosemaiy Sazonoff Third Annual Writing Contest
January 4- February 16.
This year the Rosemary Sazonoff Creative Writing Contest focuses
specifically on poetry. There will be one contest for adults and #
a separate contest for children, grades 2-8. Rosemary
Sazonoff was a library trustee for twenty years, a writer,
public activist and lifetime library user. The contest is
held in her memory.
The poetry contest encourages your creativity: memories, present thoughts or future think
ing. There’s no need to think in rhyme; non-rhyming poems may have an even better
chance of winning. You can try haiku, narrative (story poem), song lyrics (ok to rhyme),
dramatic dialogue, or dedicate your poem to someone or something.
Need help with this poetry writing? We will have two workshops to jump start your cre
ativity! If you plan to attend, please reserve your space!
□ Saturday, January 9,9:30 a.m.to noon. Poetry writing workshop for adults, from
junior high age on up. This will be a hands-on exercise and exposition on lyric, narrative
and dramatic forms of poetry.
E3 Saturday, January 16,9:30 a.m. to noon. A poetry workshop for children, grades 2-5.
Hands-on exercises including image builders, five senses, colors, personal expression.
Workshop leader is Cynthia Gallaher, author of a new book of Chicago poems,
Swimmer’s Prayer. She has led workshops in schools, libraries and community centers.
There are monetary prizes for the top three winners of the childrens’ and the adults’ con
test. Winners will read from their work at the adult party at 2 p.m. Sunday, February 28
and the children’s party at 7 p.m. February 25. Pick up entry forms at Adult Reference or

□ Youth Services Department remodeling
has been temporarily put on hold due to
financial constraints.
□ Marie Ward Reichelt’s History of
Deeifield is available from the Higginson
Book Company for $24.50 plus shipping.
The book originally written in 1928 for
Deerfield Post 738 American Legion, had
been unavailable recently. Purchase forms
are in the library.
□ Deaf, hard of hearing or speech impaired
patrons are reminded that the library has a
TTY (teletypewriter) at the Reference Desk.
You can call 945-3372 from your TTY and
conversations are typed from one machine
to another, rather than spoken.
□ Why do we we purchase more abridged
than unabridged books on tape? Many
patrons don’t want to carry 12 or more cas
settes when they ride the train or jog. Also,
fewer popular titles are available in
unabridged format and are costly. We are
increasing our unabridged collection but if
we do not own we can arrange an interli
brary loan for you. Ask a librarian!
