John A. Anderson Retires
from Library Board
After twenty- four
years of service, John
Anderson has moved
to Wauconda. He was
a Deerfield resident
for thirty- four years.
vr
First elected in 1977
and reelected in four
subsequent elections, Anderson’s
term spanned the period from when
the library was new all the way
through the recent renovations. He
provided leadership for two library
directors: Suzanne Whetstone and
Jack Hicks. A multi-faceted man,
Anderson was a strong advocate of
freedom of speech, access by all
residents to all forms of information
and of library literacy. He pressed
for renovation and the new comput
er system and he was instrumental
in bringing videos and other AV for
mats to the library. He said, “Many
problems were solved during my
tenure. I was glad to have been able
to contribute to this great library.”

Three Board
Members Elected
Jeffrey Blumenthal, Donald Van
Arsdale and David Wolff were elected
to serve on the Deerfield Library Board
of Trustees at the April 3 Village of
Deerfield election. All three have previ
ously served on the board. David Wolff
has been a board member for 12 years and held the office of secretary. Blumenthal had
been appointed last year. Both Blumenthal and Wolff will serve six year terms. Van
Arsdale served on the Board in 1994, and will fill the remaining four year term of Yvonne
Sharpe who resigned to move to Riverwoods. All three newly elected trustees are strong
library users and supporters.
The Deerfield Library Board of Trustees holds open meetings the third Wednesday of

Under 18 Video Policy Changed
Matt requested and the board responded....
Joan Bairstow, right, Deerfield Library
Head of Circulation, gladly implemented
the board’s new video policy suggested by
Deerfield student Matt Tick, at left.
Matt Tick, Deerfield High School stu
dent, made a presentation to the library
Board of Trustees, and the Board respond

rials on their own cards. Parents must give
the permission in person, and must assume
full responsibility for return, damage, fees
or fines for materials loaned under the pol

�Across the Librarian’s Desk
The retirement of John Anderson from the
Library Board after twenty-four years of service
caused me to reflect on the fine board mem
bers who have served this library in the years
since the library was built. Many, like
Rosemary Sazonoff, were Deerfield stalwarts;
many were not known by the public but made
strong contributions to this library benefiting
the residents and the staff.
John was not the longest serving board member of memory. That
honor would go to former Board President Tom Parfitt, with current
President Sue Benn right behind in length of service. It is hard to sin
gle out individuals but some do stand out. Longtime Treasurer Tony
Sabato, who passed away last winter, taught me all I know about tax
levies and public finance. Rosemary Sazonoff taught me the power of
the press; Wilbur Page taught me respect for the physical plant and
how to take care of it. Sue Benn, especially, has shepherded me
through all our renovation projects for the past eight years and I owe
her more than I can tell. It is with sadness that we note the death of
former Board Member Charlene Reich in early May; she served with
distinction.
Currently the library has a mix of old and new board members. Sue
Benn brings over twenty years experience to the table, David Wolff
twelve years. Our younger members Don Van Arsdale, Sunday Mueller,
Jeff Blumenthal and Ken Abosch bring a renewed sense of energy and
enthusiasm as we look forward to long range planning and needed
community assessment to prepare ourselves for the future. Bill Seiden
has agreed to fill John Anderson’s position on an interim basis. This
board truly reflects the residents of Deerfield and will be a great asset
as we move into the reality of the information age.
As if we needed proof that it is indeed a small world we live in,
this spring Bill Seiden, current President of the North Suburban Library
System Board, and I were in Washington, D.C. for the American Library
Association’s Legislative Day. At the debriefing session held after a
long day on Capitol Hill I chanced to look over at one of our fellow
library advocates. I asked him immediately if he was the Don McCurry
who served so ably on the Deerfield Public Library Board twenty years
ago. Don’s reponse was, “How in the world did you know that?” It was
easy. Don had been a great board member. He had made strong contri
butions to the library, and had make a lasting impression. He was in
Washington as a board member of the Northern Illinois Library System
headquartered in Rockford. It seems Don has been involved in library
service for many years.
At this point it finally occurred to me that as boards have a
tremendous impact on their libraries, so do libraries have a lasting
effect on the board members themselves. It was a fine moment when I
introduced a current board member to one from many, many years ago.
Past and present became one, leading me to feel confident about this
library’s future.

Library to Have New Computer System
Continuing the library's Year
of Renewal, and the village’s ren
ovation, the library' provides a
central, cultural focus for the
Deerfield community. Many of
our adult programs this fall are
“partnering” and highlighting
Deerfield businesses, organiza
tions and individuals who make
our community richer.

Yvonne Sharpe, library board
member since 1992, will be retir
ing from her board position
because she will no longer be a
Deerfield resident. Board presi
dent Sue Benn said, “She has
been a loyal and active member
for many years and will be sorely
missed” Mrs. Sharpe chaired the
library’s building committee for
all the years of library renova
tion. She came on the board to
fill the unexpired term of Wilbur
Page and thereafter was elected
and re-elected. Sharpe’s unex
pired term can be filled by board
appointment until the 2001 vil
lage election. Anyone interested
in this temporary vacancy may
contact the library business
office.

To provide faster, better and more contemporary computer services, the library will be
leaving the computer consortium of Morton Grove, Skokie and Waukegan. This change
presents new challenges but more importantly will free Deerfield of the restrictions and
impediments of the consortium. This will allow us to present more up-to-date computer
services and access at higher speeds. It should permit wider access to books and materi
als. Specifically, the library will offer more web-based products, easier home and remote
access, better catalog access and faster and cleaner telecommunications. There will be
more service outlets and more terminals offering modem services at high speed.
We are in the process of signing a contract with epixtech, a Provo, Utah based firm,
for the next computer system which should be operational before May, 2001. This system
will supply all the familiar, easy-to-use services such as catalog searching, telephone
renewal, check out and circulation functions well known to our clients, and supply a
home page with links to appropriate library sites, full text magazine indexes and remote
access to library resources. This system will be funded through the use of Tax Increment
Financing and will not require a tax increase or bond issue.
Administrative Librarian Jack Hicks said, “We have listened to our residents’ sugges
tions and feel sure the new system will meet their needs and expectations whether they
are in the library or gaining access from home.” Library board president Sue Benn feels
“The public will be pleased with the high speed computers and new services; this is a real
step forward in providing information and web access for the community.” □

�Across the Librarian’s Desk
I once saw a cartoon of a nuclear physicist telling a classical musician that he only liked 18th cen
tury music. The response from the peeved musician was, “...that’s great, I only like 18th century
science.” Listening recently to a golden oldies radio station I was struck by the idea that maybe
popular culture is not shaped by the best a society offers but what is "remembered”— or imagined
— as the best. Is this to make us comfortable with events that might have been painful? Maybe
pop culture can’t stand critical scrutiny.
The talky disk jockey kept up a constant patter about the songs he was playing; recounting
minutiae from the rock stars’ lives, incidentals about the recording sessions, and the marvelous
night he had actually met the stars in question. The guy went on and on, yakking and playing the
music he claimed defined a generation. The only problem was my wife and 1 are members of that
generation and that was not the music we listened to at all; in fact most of his songs were nerd
anthems, or worse, just plain banal junk. Which raises the question: do we invent our past in our
own image and likeness or is it just nostalgic mythmaking? Does this shield us from a harsher
reality?
Some of the problems are that the disk jockeys aren’t old enough to have experienced these
events, or are too addled to remember them clearly. What sells and what is accepted and extolled
today becomes yesterday’s top hits. This doesn’t apply to rock and roll only, but to the big band
era as well—and I suspect all eras—equally. A look at any Variety Top 40 songs often reveals the
oldies that are so popular today—and are supposedly reflective of the times—were not at the top
of the charts, or even mainstream, at the time. The people who trade and revel in nostalgia are
more affected by time and society’s bias than they are by the absolute accuracy of the memories or
the quality of the product, (except in the case of Jack Benny)
Recent movie lists that purport to define the “best ever” movies have been so far off the mark
as to be laughable. I think any compiled list of “best” movies should only be made by people over
fifty-five years old, who have actually seen the full movie in a theatre where they paid full price to
see the film. Any film seen in a film class or at a film society should be instantly disqualified
because this all adds up to revisionist history at its worst: pop culture peddled by pasty faced, soft
handed, trendy types. These are the same people who define Stravinsky and Bartok as “modem”
music even though their works are a hundred years old. Is classical music suspect as well? Is that
why snobby aficionados walk out or snub modem composers? Could be.
Now we all know about revisionist history, how an event will change with the telling over time,
until a breakthrough historian will produce a thesis that is a direct contradiction to historical fact
and reality that somehow comes to be accepted as insight. Revisionist history ought to have anoth
er name: bad history. A recent and widespread spate of revisionist history has poured forth regard
ing the World War II generation—even to the point of being called “...the greatest generation” by
gushy writers like Tom Brokaw and Stephen Ambrose. We owe those boys a lot, but let’s not puff
up reality; the vets from WWII deserve better than that—they deserve the truth, our eternal grati
tude, and a monument in Washington, D.C.
I have always wondered how that generation would have reacted to the divisive, emotionally
charged, and morally ambivalent times of Viet Nam. Sometimes it is easier to do the right thing
when the choices are clear cut, or in fact there are no choices. A casual glance at the Viet Nam era
discloses at least a half a dozen myths or outright untruths that have grown up and thrived, perpe
trated by well meaning revisionists, which have entered our collective conscience as reality. Which
leads me back to a lighter vein, that gabby disk jockey with his comball alternative reality. We
don’t need to invent an idyllic past or create fake, artificial heroes; we have them today because
today are the good old days and they are good enough.

L
ibrary users have asked my reaction to
the two new book stores in
Deerfield—Barnes and Noble and
Borders. I don't know what the patrons
anticipated, but I do know they are
generally surprised by my answer. I guess
they think that I'll be overcome with gloom.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
The presence of Barnes and Noble, Borders
and Crown in our community is great!

many fine books printed every year that we
never see in our review media, so many

be a able to handle and browse so many
new books.
I am proud to be a librarian in a community
that three major bookstore chains have
targeted as a productive market. We in the
library always knew we had great library
users, but to have three major
conglomerates validate this by locating
stores here is a compliment from the savvy
marketers of the business world. It
acknowledges what we always knew—
Deerfield is a book-centered community.
The bookstores and the library have
similarities and significant differences. We
have a deeper and wider collection of

Thank you!
We encourage book and book on cassette
donations of materials in good condition.
Thanks to many who have donated books on
cassette, we have a fine collection of over
1000 in subjects including inspirational,
motivational, self help and classics. Due to
popularity we'll accept duplicates!

materials. We overwhelm the bookstores with
our reference collections, business directories,
indexes, and our wonderful children's
department. Competition? The role of the
library is so different I certainly don't see
competition. More of a complement.
We can learn from them in the areas of
display, marketing and customer service.
The fact that Barnes and Noble has chosen to
schedule book discussions and children's
story hours head-to-head with our
established programs is taken by us as the
sincerest form of flattery. The one tool that
any of them have—that has obvious and
exciting implications for libraries—is Borders'
music access computer. I have been asked to
rate the three stores, but that would be
bordering on an endorsement.
Thank you!
A Sam and Mary Fosdick Memorial Garden
of perennial flowers will be planted in front of
the library this summer.
Thanks to AAUW, Author Gertrude Rubin,
and Junior Women's Club of Deerfield who
have been among book donors this year.
We don't have a coffee shop (yet) and 1 love
that aroma as I browse. But we have two things
that are far better within a half a block—the
great Deerfield Bakery and that Deerfield
institution—Harry's Grill. So when the spirit
moves you, visit the three terrific bookstores
we have in Deerfield, and then visit the
Deerfield Public Library. Great food for mind
and body a half block apart. I think you'll agree
we stack up pretty well to our commercial
bookstore neighbors and we're free.
A final note—the firecracker annual report we
handed out on July 4,1992 has won the Library
Public Relations Council Division I Award as
the best (small library) annual report in the
country last year. Congratulations to Sally
Seifert, our Public Relations Director.

Across the Librarian's Dest^
On Sunday, April 5th, the Library
will celebrate its 65th birthday. We
will do this symbolically on the first
day of National Library Week. We
will have bands and ice cream and
music, but the real celebration will be
the recognition of the people who
have made us the exemplary library
we are today. I know there are a lot of
people to thank.
We know many of the people we
want to thank during the recognition
part of our celebration: Bob York, Tom
Parfitt, Mary Mazur, Pat Horne and
Keith Nickoley, are the easy names.
What we really need help with is all
the names of all the people who
helped pass out handbills, held coffee
hours, spoke at schools — those who
worked tirelessly behind the scenes to
pass the numerous referendums, bond
issues, special legislation and court
challenges that built this Library.
It is often forgotten that this Li
brary has had a long and colorful his
tory full of wonderful personalities
and issues. We have seen numerous
tax fights, boundary squabbles, cen
sorship battles, "Save Our Library "
campaigns, along with agitated re
former candidates. The present build
ing and the services we offer did not
just happen — they were the result of
long, hard work by many concerned
and visionary residents. The Library
has withstood the test of time.
If you know the names of those
who made this Library possible,
please take the time to write them
down and let me know what they did
— large and small — because every
one is important. We want to

recognize them in an appropriate way
on our 65th birthday. The Library is 65
years old and they made it happen.
We owe a debt of gratitude to those
head Librarians who founded, nur
tured, and developed the Deerfield
Public Library. Starting in 1927 and
progressing to today there have been:
Mrs. Frank Russo, Mrs. Chester Wolf
— for over 25 years, Mrs. Helen
Haney, and the builder of this Library,
Mrs. Suzanne Whetstone. They estab
lished a Library that serves the com
munity well and is a source of great
pride.
We also want to take time to ac
knowledge the lasting contribution
made to this community by a single
individual. The Library will name its
Young People's Department in honor
of Dr. Diego Redondo. Since Dr. Re
dondo touched and enriched the lives
of so many of us — especially our
children — it is fitting to create a per
manent memorial for him. We will
dedicate the Department in his honor
during our Birthday celebration.
Please let me know those names,
and please come to our Party. You'll
come for the nostalgia, but stay for the
fun.

Across the Librarian s Desbi
Librarians are inextricably bound to
books in their personal and professional
lives, yet it is seldom that librarians are
writers, or get to see a book in an early
stage of production. This is especially
true of reference books, since they are
generally contract work done by very
large publishers. Five or six reference
book publishers dominate the field:
Bowker, Gale, Wilson, Britannica, Dun
and Bradstreet, and Standard and Poors.
It is very unusual for an author or
publisher to create a reference book that
is new in concept, brilliant in organiza
tion, with a scope and depth that ex
of the publication, author, pages
and length. Also, InfoTrac will sug
gest related articles. You can print
out this information (not the whole
article)!
If Deerfield does not own the
magazine you need, we may be able
to get a photocopy for you from an
other library.

by their very nature are cold and evolu

Mission
The mission of the Friends of the Deerfield Public Library is to provide support to the Library through
funds, human resources and the sponsoring of community programs.
Two Years Young
In late 1989 a handful of community members organized Deerfield’s Friends of the Library. Over the
past 24 months supportive, civic-minded village residents have swelled the Friends’ membership to over
40. With everyone’s contributions of time and energy, the Friends have been successful in carrying out
its mission through fundraising events, volunteer support and education programs.
May 1990 — Art Auction
To make room for book shelves, the Library had to remove its display of art prints and
end the service of loaning them. The Friends held an auction of the 175 prints as its
first official fundraising event.
October 1990 — Agatha Christie Centennial
Friends sponsored a community program to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Agatha
Christie. Preceding the lecture, the Friends hosted an authentic English tea.
January 1991 — Library support
Friends members volunteered to help at the Library-sponsored lecture and book sign
ing for Shelby Yastrow, author of Undue Influence.
April 1991 — Children’s Program
Friends sponsored a children’s folk song fest and lively hoe down featuring Jenny
Armstrong.
July 1991 — Family Days
Friends provided volunteers to help Library staff distribute lemonade during the 4th of
July activities.
August 1991 — Trunk Sale
Community members are invited to fill their cars with all their “treasures” and sell them
in the Library parking lot. The trunk sale is an annual fundraiser for the Friends who
rent the Library’s parking spaces to sellers.
Into the Future
January 1992 — Children’s Program
Punch and Judy come to Deerfield. (See this issue’s calendar.)
June 1992 — Trunk Sale
TBA — Fundraising event
July 1992 — Friends of the Deerfield Library 4th of July Parade Float
TBA 1993 — Book Sale
This event requires many manhours to accomplish and will be held only if there is a
commitment of time and interest among membership.
�Back to the Community
Monies generated through fundraising events and membership dues are returned to the community through
the sponsorship and hosting of community education/entertainment programs.
Support Your Library . . . Be A Friend
The Friends group is young and growing and anxious to welcome new members. Membership does

the very best of what reference pub
lishing should be. Written from the
heart, with professional experience,
this book will become a classic — used
by parents, students, librarians and
counselors alike. The K & W Guide fills
a need and answers questions that no
other book does. This is exceptional
reference writing.
I was, and still am, astonished by
their effort. I have never seen a refer
ence book in its first edition that has
the content, scope, authority, organi
zation and coverage that this book
has. That two first-time authors could
produce a book this comprehensive
and discriminating is truly an accom
plishment. When the authors showed
me the book for the first time, I sus-
pect they had an idea of just how out
standing it is.
Now we all know. Library Journal, the
flagship of library magazines, has just
given the book a starred review — the
highest they give. A rave, it compares
the K& W Guide to Lovejoy's Guide and
finds it a superior book. I am sure it will
be a standard reference book used in
every library in this country. I am also
sure that the authors will reap the re
ward and recognition they deserve. The
best part is that the parents and stu
dents with learning disabilities will find
the reassurance, support, hope and
guidance they need. Well done, Imy
and Mary Beth!

daughter of Judy and A1 Simon,
Deerfield residents for 23 years. The

Across the Librarian 's Desfci
Edward R. Murrow described
working in public life as a slippery
slope. Having worked in public ser
vice, for twenty years, I guess I would
agree. I entered the library profession
because of a lifetime interest in books
and reading. What I found, of course,
is that libraries, like everything else in
life, are service industries where many,
many people touch and enrich your
life.
The first project I was given when I
came to Deerfield was to build a pup
pet theater and do puppet shows for
the public. I remember that summer
very well, though many of the children
and adults involved have since faded
from memory.
One little boy stands out clearly: a
shock of red hair atop a face full of
freckles. The relationship and friend
ship that grew out of that summer of
puppets came to include his parents
and my family. The main product of a
town like Deerfield is the young peo
ple who grow up here but move else
where once they are educated and
grown. The everyday tragedy is that
you seldom get to see them again.
I followed this young man's educa
tion and career as he moved from
Deerfield to Urbana to Connecticut to
New York, and then I lost track of him,
as his parents moved away. The fond
memories would come back now and
then but they belonged to a period of
20 years ago.
Last month I was in my office with
a Library Trustee talking about the
benefits of the Deerfield Library to
our residents. This discussion took on
several dimensions such as education,
lifetime learning, and recreation. My
assistant buzzed on my intercom that
a young man was here to see me
between planes at O'Hare and could
he break up my meeting? The red
hair was instantly recognizable.
Well, to make a long story short,
David had come to tell me what the
Library had meant to him, how he
had an edge over his classmates at
Deerfield, University of Illinois and
now at the Tokyo Bank where he is a
Vice President. The reunion was nec
essarily short but extremely heartfelt
on both sides. I later got a call from
New York to confirm several of the
points he had made with me about
the value of the Library in our com
munity.
"The library gives me the world,"
is how he put it. A sublime moment
for an old reference librarian.
"How'd you get him to do that?"
was what my Trustee wanted to
know. Some of us are just lucky.

Summer 1991
DEERFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY
^.ifruvitcui
*De4j6.
Graham Greene died April 3,1991, but as
"LeMonde" said the next day, "Graham
Greene will never die... Greene has always
been a man at the dizzying brink of things
where faith wavers, spies become double
agents, love turns to sadism, and anything
can happen."
No author I can think of wrote encom
passing narrative characterizations like
Greene. His novels were defined by charac
ters and values (or lack of values) rather than
plot. Greene was a master at describing time
and place and drawing the reader straight into
the dark and perverse side of a world where
good and evil are exposed in every character.
No author identified so clearly the underclass
the world - what he termed "the torturable
'ass." No author understood the gulf be
tween rich and poor, powerful and powerless
Greene did. To me his themes were broad and
universal - not confined to, yet focused on,
healing, reconciliation and forgiveness.
Greene penned these ideas in an outline of
reverses: a world of betrayal, powerlessness,
pain, and evil with the only redeeming
dimension in life being the spiritual one. In
The Power and the Glory he presents us with
a novel of persecution and despair, yet it is a
book that completely defines the spiritual
side of man’s nature - regardless of religious
tradition.
Many books hold special moments for us,
and we revisit them to regain those pleasures,
or touch those moments. All readers have
their favorite books - my favorites are almost
all Graham Greene. The books I am recom
mending are: Brighton Rock, The
Comedians, The Heart of the Matter, The
Honorary Consul, Our Man in Havana, The
Power and the Glory, and The Quiet
American. There are so many others I suggest
you browse the shelves and read any and all
of them. I will discuss The Power and the
ory in the library’s fall book discussion.

�Non Resident Card
Fees Increase
Residents of incorporated Deerfield are
entitled to free library cards. Non-residents
who want a Deerfield card may purchase a
^m11 privileges non-resident library card for
^el50. This fee is set by the State and determined by a special formula related to
residents’ lax fees. The non-resident card fee
was formerly $125.00.
The boundaries of service for Deerfield
Library are the same as those of the village
limits - NOT related to U.S. Post office ZIP
codes or West Deerfield Township limits.
With a Deerfield card you can borrow
from any of North Suburban Libraries’
public libraries. (This may not include
videos).
F. Y.l.
Fines... As of May 1, overdue fines
were raised from five to ten cents
per day. A significant line item in
the budget, fines have not been al
tered in 15 years. The increase also
brings fines in line with what neigh
boring libraries charge. Video
overdue fines remain $2.00 a day.
Since others may be waiting for the
materials you have, we appreciate
prompt returns. Reminder: If you
lose or damage library books, there
is a non refundable cost of the item
plus a processing fee of $5.00. Un
returned video: replacement cost,
plus $20 processing fee.
A new brochure, "A Guide to
Library Services" is now at the Cir
culation Desk. This brochure was
made possible by a donation from
the Friends of the Deerfield
Library.
Donations welcome... The Refer
ence Department would appreciate
donations of Consumer Reports
magazines from the last five years.
Due to heavy use, the library’s
copies deteriorate quickly.
With the cost of books spiraling,
(average costs: nonfiction, $40 and
fiction, $25) the library appreciates
book donations, including paper
backs, in good condition. The
Townley Club of Deerfield
generously donated $250 to
replenish the library’s classics. We
also thank those who have donated
books, magazines and annual
reports.
Exhibits at the entrance to the
library are changed monthly. We
welcome your collections of inter
est, with artifacts, if they relate to
library books.________________

of writing, getting published and surviving
as an author.
ENRICH YOUR LIFE.....ATDEERFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY
With this spring newsletter, we introduce the new Deerfield
Library logo. The logo, seen above on our new masthead,
depicts a book whose spine and pages form the shape of a lotus
blossom, the ancient symbol of self-creation. This identifying
symbol, represents self enrichment through knowledge.
The Library of Congress has designated 1991 the Year of
the Lifetime Reader, so we celebrate LIFE and the connection
between our materials and services and your daily lives. With
our collections, we answer questions: What to name the new
baby? A definition of ulcers and recipes for this condition?
^^low to take minutes at a business meeting? How to spell a
^Bvord, plan a wedding, make a business plan, give a value to
Grandma’s vase, string some beads?
We help you to learn, grow, solve, laugh, feel and cope.
We enrich your life!

WINGS
A year ago I wrote in this column about
the self-collapse of the Berlin Wall and the
effect world-wide peace would have on
genre fiction. I wrote a year too early. The
war in the Middle East and the repression
in Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia have a
greater potential for disaster than any we
have faced as a nation in the last forty years.
I back our troops in the Persian Gulf and
President Bush. I also respect those of us
who choose to oppose this war. The U.S.
Constitution guarantees freedom of
speech-enabling citizens to voice opposi
tion to governmental policy. About this
right we should be resolute and justly
proud. As a former Staff Sergeant in the 8th
Infantry Division, I have strong feelings
about the safety of our boys overseas. A
concern closer to home are the racial and
ethnic epithets that are heard to describe
Middle Eastern peoples. These
stereotypes must be rejected by all of us.
I am impressed with President Bush
when he speaks of a new world order
emerging from this catastrophe. Hopefully,
this will mean: a permanent rule of Inter
national Law, a rejection of terrorism as an
element of politics, a refusal to arm any
tyrant with modern weapons, and an
American foreign policy that rises above
the failed concepts that have equated our
friends as our enemy’s enemy.
Can the epic Spring of 1990 still bloom
into a world of peace?
The book I am recommending this
month is The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil,
Money, and Power by Daniel Yergin.
Awash in a sea of oil this timely history
traces man’s grasping for oil: the per
sonalities, nationalism, and the drive for
power and wealth that have created and
exacerbated our current dilemma.

�BENN AND SABATO SEEK
RE-ELECTION
F.YA.
■ Music Listening Area: The library has
two new listening stations in the Fic
tion/Quiet Room. You can now hear
your favorite music on cassette or
compact disc or listen to books on tape
in the library. To do this, select your
audio, check it out, ask for head
phones, and leave an i.d. at the
Circulation Desk.
On April, 2 a local election will be held
for two Deerfield library trustee positions.
^|wo incumbents, Sue Benn and Tony
^^abato, will run for re-election. Both 20
year residents of Deerfield, they have each
had a number of years’ experience at board
posts. Sabato has been board treasurer and
Benn has served on committees of the
seven member board. Also active in other
Deerfield community activities, they are
strong users and supporters of the library.
The Library Board meets monthly, and
elected members each serve six year terms.
Their responsibilities include determining
basic library policy, delegating administrative authority to the director, and
overseeing all major expenditures.
■ It now costs 30 cents to reserve a Deer
field book, due to the rise in postal
rates; you are notified by mail when
your book is in. When books are re
quested from other libraries, there is
no charge; you are notified by
telephone.
■ Missing books cause the library lots of
problems. The book you don(t return
is the book the next person needs.
TRUTH STRANGER
THAN FICTION?
■ It is a true axiom that when times get
tough, people use the library more.
The first month of 1991, adult refer
ence questions increased 19 9c from
last year. January 1990: 1,716 ques
tions answered. January 1991:2,047.
The library has just received a new fic
tion book about air combat in the Persian
Gulf, First Air by Michael Skinner. Skinner,
a former CNN writer, has published a tech
no thriller whose images beam at us on the
evening news. The political scenario is dif
ferent, but its depiction of modern war, as
it could happen (already has) in the Persian
is eerily coincidental.
■ Friends of the Library group is becom
ing active and vital. For $5 a year you
can join. Applications at front desk.
AND THE WINNERS IN
THE CHILDREN’S
CATEGORY ARE...
CALLING OUT OF TOWN?
Deerfield Library has always housed a
variety of current out of town (USA)
telephone directories. Further, in the past
each North Suburban Public Library has
"specialized" in a different state, in a
cooperative sharing project. (Deerfield’s
"state" is Arizona.)
Now, public libraries are no longer able
to receive a large variety of free city
telephone books. Since costs will be levied,
we are placing a survey form on each
telephone directory to determine use pat
terns and the most needed phone books.
Please continue to ask the reference
librarians for assistance with the out of
state directories. The telephone directory
issue has become a very complicated one
for libraries.

BROWSING
at the DEERFIELD
PUBLIC LIBRARY
inter 1990
Vol 6, No. 1
920 Waukegan Rd.
Deerfiled. IL 60015
the
'& 72eA&
Two things happened recently that have
made me unusually sensitive to people’s
reading levels and skills-and their ge neral
lack of knowledge about our society.
The first was the PBS Civil War
television series-which was engrossing and
disappointing to me. As a lifelong Civil'War
junkie I was overjoyed by a vastly entertain
ing program. But it did not clarify, give
sequence or add coherence to the Civil
War. Events that happened simultaneous
ly were treated as if they happened two
years apart. Many viewers do not know
which side William T. Sherman was on, or
that Grant captured Vicksburg the same
day as Gettysburg-yet paroled his 10,000
prisoners back into the Confederacy.
What we need in this electronic age is in
formation clarification-not mystification.
The other eye opener was one of the
most effective and intelligent people I have
ever known-a naturalized U.S. citizen^feisked me to compile a list of books that
^^vould fill in what he perceives as gaps in his
overall knowledge of our country, and raise
his consciousness about items of cultural
literacy. The idea of a general paucity of
cultural knowledge has been a hotly
debated topic among social scientists for
several years.
I understand that a specialized, techni
cal education can definitely lead to
deficiencies in general knowledge, and that
being raised in a very different culture may
skew your interpretations of American
traditions. As a Librarian, I see technical
education and cultural diversity as two of
the key elements that have made America
a great society.
A lack of reading is a major problem
that confronts us today. Television, videos,
ten second sound bites and fifteen minutes
of celebrity, do not impart the same cul
tural identity and awareness-of who we are
and how we got that way-as effectively as
reading. Television is the primary way most
people get the news and their other information.
The book I am recommending this
month is Who Reads Literature? by
Nicholas Zill and Marianne Winglee. This
provoking analysis makes it clear that there
^^are very large numbers of citizens who canMkot read, and even larger numbers of those
who can but will not read. This malaise is
serious and will negatively affect our fu
ture.
Jack Alan Hicks
Administrative Librarian
Shelby Yastrow - Deerfield’s Own Author
Start the new year right by welcoming
Deerfield's own-corporate lawyer Shelby
Yastrow and best selling author of Undue
Influence on Tuesday evening, January 8 at
7:30 p.m. Yastrow, whose new "Lite Lawyer
novel is one of the snappiest courtroom
capers yet" (Kirkus Reviews), was the sub
ject of a front page/fealure story in North
Shore magazine.
His novel has hit the Chicago best seller
list and is being considered for a movie. A
gifted storyteller, he will share with us why
he wrote this "yarn spinning" novel, how he
got it published and what he tried to ac
complish. Our witty and personable
neighbor will be feted at an autograph
reception following his talk. Make reserva
tions now!
Of Importance to You
Deerfield Library has received a per
capita grant of $17,432.00 from the Il
linois State Library. Slate regulations
require that this money be dedicated
to projects that expand or enhance our
services. The money will be used to
sponsor adult programs, fund the
newsletter and purchase foreign lan
guage books.
If you do not have your library card with
you to check out library materials, you
must have some form of identification.
All new adult fiction of less than 400 pages
now circulates for one week. A faster
turnaround time should satisfy
patrons’ desire to obtain new books. If
there is no one waiting to read the book
and the book is not overdue, it may be
renewed for seven days. Renewals may
be in person or by telephone. After six
months, new adult fiction is loaned for
three weeks.
Just like the video store: please remember
to rewind your library videotapes
before returning them. Do not place
videos in the book drop; bring them in.
Deerfield cardholders, over 18 years of
age, may borrow up to 4 videos for
three days, at a cost of $1 per video;
overdue videos are $2 a day.

documents, letters, maps, broadsides and
photographs will grace the library in early

Sign of the Times
A new sign at the entrance to the library

A FEW HINTS ON USE OF
THE LIBRARY’S ONLINE
CATALOG
The library’s or.iine public catalog, rep
resents holdings of books, sound
recordings, and videos, not magazines or
newspapers. The online catalog contains
the collections of Skokie, Morton Grove,
and Waukegan Libraries as well as Deer
field.
You can limit your search to Deerfield
by typing in LIB either as a separate com
mand or as part of another command: for
example, LIB/SUB/COOKERY. The
command ALL will resume the search of
all four libraries’ collections.
Consult the red "quick subject guide to
shelf location" at each terminal. This book
helps you to find the right words to type into
the computer for a subject search.
Example: You won’t find a list of books
on GREEK MYTHOLOGY by searching
under that heading in the subject files of the
computer. But, if you look under "GREEK
MYTHOLOGY" in the red subject book
near the terminal, the book will tell you to
type in "MYTHOLOGY, GREEK" in
stead.
If you just want to browse the library in
a certain nonfiction area, the red book also
leads you to call numbers associated with
specific subject headings.
If you have trouble searching the com
puter, ask the Reference Librarian for
help!
Income Tax

Fall 1990
Vol 5, No. 4
/tc/1044- tfie
—The other side of Lake Wobegon—
A Death in White Bear Lake is a book
about an “All American City.” This^ is a
hard story to discuss because it deals with
a small boy savagely beaten to death by ftis
mother — a child abuser. But it is an im
portant book on several levels and for ver^
serious reasons.
The homicide took place in 1965 but
because people closed their hearts and
minds to the evil around them, the legal
system sputtered and faltered and the case
was filed away for twenty-two years. In
1987, through an unlikely series of events,
a group of everyday people did some very
extraordinary things to see that this murder
would not go unpunished.
A courageous medical examiner re
opened the files, a determined police force
^J3uilt a strong charge, and a dedicated legal
^A'stem pressed the trial to a just conclu^^ion. These brave and outraged people
remembered an innocent little boy and
demanded justice, unlike so many who did
not speak in 1965, or denied, or lied, or
intimated, or covered up.
The real question raised by this book is:
what would you or I have done? Would we
look away, harden our hearts, refuse to get
involved to protect ourselves? After twentytwo years would we still turn away? Would
we remember? Would we have the courage
to stand against evil? If not, how would we
choose to be remembered? The message is
clear — if this could happen to an “All
American City” it can happen anywhere.
If they could do it, we could do it. Inertia
and failure to act are the real unknowns;
how easy it is to be brave if you are never
put to the test.
The author, Barry Siegel, merits great
praise for outstanding reporting. This
haunting book has an amazing texture,
depth, and feel for time and place. John
Donne wrote that... “no man is an island,”
a phrase that has a special meaning to me
because the crib side doctor who saw a
^Meath by child abuse and turned aside was
community stalwart in White Bear Lake
— my home town — and the attending
physician at my father’s death.

Changes to Serve You Better, Faster • • •
The popular new books are wanted by so
many; this often means long waits for the
best sellers. We are trying to deal with this
problem by shortening loan periods for new
fiction books and by ordering more copies
faster.
Beginning Sept. 4, all new fiction books
will have one week loan periods until they
are six months old. This should provide a
faster turnaround time for the next person.
Books can be renewed by phone or in
person if they are not overdue and there
is no waiting list.
While we cannot quickly satisfy 60 re
quests for Scott Turow’s “Burden of
Proof,” we are anticipating demand for
popular authors by using a new Fast Track
ordering system. It promises speedy
delivery of multiple copies of projected best
sellers. Some of these are Belva Plain’s
“Harvest”, Dick Francis’s “Long Shot”
and Sidney Sheldon’s “Memories of
Midnight”.
All new books will stay on the NEW
BOOK SHELVES for one year — nonfic-
tion by the fireplace, fiction on the new
stacks in the Fiction/Quiet Room.
To keep the collection current, librarians
are busy with a major weeding
(housecleaning) project. Outdated and
damaged books are removed from the col
lection, and some are placed on the
ongoing “for sale” carts.
Large Print Books, Adult Basic Readers,
Short Story Collections, and Circulating
Paperbacks are now next to the new fiction.
For reading suggestions, check our new
guides to good reading. These include lists
of new Deerfield books; “Bestsellers”
which include author close ups, plot sum
maries, what the critics say, and related
must reads; Best books of ’88 & ’89, and
lists of Techno Thrillers, Traditional
Romances, Faraway Places, Pigskin Peo
ple, Spies, etc. On display are also
“Modern Fantasy: 100 Best Novels,” a
book listing the best crime and mystery
books, “Sequels: A Guide to Reading in
Series”, American Best Sellers, and other
books offering reading suggestions.
The five story Illinois State Library
building was dedicated on June 20. It faces
and is designed to be compatible with the
architecture of the 102 year old State
Capitol building. The library houses the
state’s 4.7 million volumes, and state and
federal documents. In the planning stages
for 20 years, the project became a reality
when it received $36 million as part of the
“Building Illinois” program. The library’s
resources may be borrowed by using a
library card issued by any Illinois public
library.
At the dedication of the State Library building in
Springfield, Deerfield Librarians Baiba
Rosenkranz, far left, and Sally Brickman, flank
Secretary of State/State Librarian/Gubernatorial
candidate, Jim Edgar, with Elliott Kanner, far right
(Deerfield resident & North Suburban Library
System administrator).
Please let us know • • •
We are trying to determine the need for
library outreach service in Deerfield. If
there are people who would like to have
library service but are unable or have dif
ficulty getting to the library we would like
to know. Difficulty reading? Ask about our
specialized talking books from the National
Library Service for Blind/Physically
Handicapped.

North Shore Author Eleanore Devine
Tuesday, Sept. 11, 7:30 p.m.
Reviewers heralded her “quietly shock
ing” short stories from “You’re Standing
in My Light” as ‘’remarkable because they
are tart, taut, touching, economical, ellip
tical, sharp, sensuous and sexy”. Devine
lays claim to a territory of human ex
perience few writers have explored with
such honesty, perceptiveness and vigor;
that of the aging older woman, adamant
that her life make sense, determined that
certain human values be expressed.

discuss what codependency is, how

from this condition.

tal stage. This is a growth period for which
parents are least prepared and problems

tions on night fears, sibling rivalry, creative
play, imagination, etc. and respond to
questions.
Reality of Retirement
Tuesday, October 23, 7:30 p.m.
In cooperation with the Deerfield Senior
