BROWSING
at the DEERFIELD
PUBLIC LIBRARY
920 Waukegan Rd.
Deerfield, IL 60015
Summer 1989
Vol. 4 No. 3
Sazonoff and Wolff Win Board Seats
Sir Isaac Newton is reported to have
said near the end of his life that he seemed
to have been like a mere boy, playing on
the seashore and diverting himself now
and then by finding a smoother pebble or a
prettier shell than ordinary, while the great
ocean of truth lay undiscovered before
him. That’s the way it is for me and many
librarians: shelves of books that span dis
tance, the ages, and all human thought, but
are really a great ocean of truth just wailing
there to be discovered.
In this month’s column it is a privilege
to recommend two local authors, each
with intensely personal insights but with
totally different styles and genres. It is ex
citing to find a gem of a book, or an author
you previously did not know, and to be
able to tell a friend about your find. This
gets to the heart of why people become lib
rarians in the the first place: reading and
sharing.
One of the Chicago area’s finest writ
ers is Chicago attorney and Deerfield resi
dent Lowell Komie, whose perceptive and
revealing short stories about lawyers have
been critically acclaimed. I recommend
reading The Judge's Chamber and Other
Stories, a collection previously published
by the American Bar Association as its
first work of fiction. The style and wit of
this book make it something very special
to recommend to friends.
The other area writer is Harold Gershowitz, a Northbrook resident and busi
ness executive whose first novel has sold
over 350,000 copies and received the
Friends of Literature Award for Fiction.
Remember This Dream is a thirty-year
chronicle told through the eyes of two sis
ters, one who emigrates to America while
the other stays in Poland. The British equi
valent of the Book-of-the-Month Club has
acquired rights for its hardcover publica
tion.
Have a good Summer; we have an ex
citing summer reading program for chil
dren, lots of new books, programs for
adults, and a great Fall ahead.
Jack Alan Hicks
Administrative Librarian
The “ffs” won it on April 4. Rosemary
Sazonoff and David Wolff were each elected
to six-year terms as trustees of the Deerfield
Library Board.
Sazonoff has been a Deerfield resident for
32 years and a library board member for 13
years. To her, books and libraries are very
precious. She recalls volunteering at the
Deerfield Library when it was in a storefront. A feature writer for the Lemer Newspap
ers, she has been involved in numerous Deerfield community groups. “I am delighted to
have the opportunity to help the library move ahead. 1 ran for office because times are
changing and I feel I can offer continuity to the board.
Wolff, a manufacturers’ representative for five metal fabricating companies, has
lived in Deerfield for 17 years and has been active with the Deerfield Community Con
cert Band and Big Band Sound of Deerfield. An active library user, he also looks forward
to working with the board and staff toward continued growth “of one of the best modem
suburban libraries in the state.” He hopes to become to involved with the North Subur
ban Library System and “to show the adults and children how easy it is to unlock the sec
>*
rets of the past at the library, as these are the keys to the future.
Nonresident
Fees Increase
The Deerfield Library Board of Directors approved a $125 fee for nonresident
library cards effective May 1, 1989.
Heretofore the fee was $100. Fees, Pai
annually, cover library service for all family members.
Last year 177 families held non resident library cards. They live in Ban
nockburn, Riverwoods, and unincorpo
rated Deerfield.
The Illinois Secretary of State requires
all public libraries that provide nonresi
dent library service to charge a fee that is
equivalent to the average cost a resident
pays in taxes to support the library. The
state provides the formula to the library.
The boundaries of service for the Deer
field Public Library are the same as the
Village limits of Deerfield. These bound
aries are not related to U.S. Post Office
ZIP codes or the limits of West Deerfield
Township.

Between Memorial Day and
Labor Day the Deerfield Public Lib
rary is closed on Sundays, but it’s
business as usual Mon. through

Peggy McCabe To Retire
Peggy McCabe
After twenty years at the library. . .
“On a dark and stormy night in London, England, I was born,” said Peggy McCabe,
Deerfield’s well known Reader Services’ Librarian.
Actually, it wasn’t really dark and stormy but it was London*. After 20 years of
selecting fiction for the Deerfield Library, Peggy likes to fantasize! Her Scottish father,
a golf professional, and English mother, settled in Deerfield many years ago, but later
moved to Crystal Lake. Coincidentally, Peggy and her husband also moved to Deerfield
30 years ago. She has lived here ever since.
After graduation from Lake Forest College, Peggy taught English at the college. She
later received a Master’s Degree in Library Science from Rosary College. In 1969, to
fulfill terms of a scholarship awarded by the state, she began a two-year stint at Deerfield
Public Library. However, when her husband died at 45, she began a library career that
stretched to 20 years.
In those days the library was located in what is now the City Hall Annex and she was
the only adult librarian working with Administrative Librarian Suzanne Whetstone.
Peggy’s title changed several times and her duties were many: reference work, fiction
selection, programming, service to the Blind & Physically Handicapped, and even a shot
at cataloging. In the early days there were only books; she built the record/cassette col
lection, as well as the large print and talking books collection. She has particularly en
joyed the reference work.
“The library has grown tremendously during the time Peggy has been here” said
Jack Hicks. Administrative Librarian, “and Peggy was instrumental in much of that
growth. Her imprint is on our building, our collection, and our services; she has given
much of herself and her talents”.
Peggy’s sons, Dennis, 38, and Phillip, 35 live in the Sunbelt, but she cannot imagine
leaving Deerfield: “the 110 school district, boys’ baseball, A.A.U.W., high school
teams, and all the people; I love the North Shore, no matter the weather.” She looks for
ward to blocks of leisure time to pursue her many interests including travel, antiques,
stamp collecting, a house that needs attention . . . and READING NON FICTION!
*On Friday, July 14 at 3 p.m. an English Tea will be held in honor of Peggy
McCabe. The Deerfield community is invited to attend.
