Remodeling Begins
NATIONAL LIBRARY
WEEK SPECIAL
T
he library is embarking on a
major remodeling project to in
crease space for the fiction col
lection. Lower level space now used
for offices, meeting room and boardroom will be merged with the down
stairs lobby to provide an additional
25% floor space, and 20% increased
shelfspace. In response to patron re
quests, the remodeling will provide
a quiet, spacious, reading area to
browse new books, read and consult
the Reader Services Librarian,

Business forecasting has always been done
in five- year increments. With the acceleration
of technology that threshold is now two or three
years, with many unforeseen changes skewing
the balance. We are now five years from the 21 st
century and the question is what the new cen
tury will hold for all of us. The mood of society
today—in spite of our economic well being—
seems to be that wherever it is we are, is not
where we want to be, and we are not comfort
able about it. I see change coming in areas be
yond our control: working women, age of the
population, Russia and computers.
Simple demographics tell us that the
workforce will be primarily female in 2001. That
clearly means no return to the 1950’s mom-athome image we hear touted as “traditional fam

ily values." It has taken over 25 years to put Mom
into the workplace and it is questionable if she
will ever return to apron and kitchen. Demograph
ics also tell us that our population is aging sig
nificantly. I read that by 2010 we will have 50,000
citizens over 100 years old when we now have
less than 5,000. A majority of our citizens will be
over 50 years of age in 2010. Families will change.

“Thousands of people are having
online affairs and these sometimes
spill over into their real lives. I be
lieve this is the beginning of a cul
ture change in our society and will
alter our future attitudes!” says
Chicago author Deanna Warren who
has published her first book Love On
Line— an informative and hu
morous guide
to online “chat”.
She will present
an upbeat over
view of how to
get up and run
ning online, the
language and the nuances. Deanna
teaches a course “Hitching a Ride
on the Information Superhighway”
at the College of Lake County and
has also published articles and
poetry.
Holiday Closings!
Holiday closings at the library are
limited to the major holidays. We
will be closed: Easter Sunday, April
16 and Memorial Day, Monday,
May 29. We will also close summer
Sundays beginning May 28.
�Librarian's Desh (continued from page 1)
Can we project by looking back? Peering
back five years we see the fall of the Berlin
Wall and the disintegration of the Soviet
Union—monumental changes that no one ex
cept lunatics predicted. Certainly now the
challenge is to learn to live productively with
the strange, hybrid society that was spawned
and nurtured in the Soviet hothouse. This is
a major challenge not to be taken lightly—as
elemental as water, land and air. The hatreds
forged on the anvil of the Cold War must give
way if both former rival superpowers are to
regenerate themselves.
Computers and software use have qua
drupled in the past five years, with the hot
companies and monoliths alike responding to
market-driven pressures that have drastically
altered the computers and the corporate cli
mate. Correspondingly we have seen a sharp
acceleration in science and medicine.
Supercomputers, like the Cray, will lead to
profound discovery in all fields of research.
Fine. Now we have the INTERNET which has
had and will continue to have a tremendous
impact on society. Until now. computers have
just counted, sorted and analyzed data—but
with cyberspace and INTERNET we are ask
ing computers to assume the basic human
social function of communication. The great
and frightening line in Kubrick's 2001 was.
"Oh. this is so exciting" when in fact the lives
of 2001 scientists were bland as mush and
as dull as gruel. Cyberspace has the poten
tial to be more deadening than television,
more corrosive to the spirit than drugs.
Most creative ideas come from the fertile
minds of one person; real genius does not flow
from committees and focus groups. We are
now to believe that the creative process is
going to be altered by networks and shared
data. To visualize and conceive an idea is the
hard part; a committee can talk anything to
death. This is not to say I want to return to the
era of Victorian engineering—elegant drawings
and mathematics done in script by pen and
ink—but I doubt that creative thought itself is
in transition and we delude ourselves if we al
low an electronic servant to become cultural
master and destroyer. Virtual reality....what's
wrong with reality?
Distance is well known to lend enchant
ment. Along those lines, we hope you will en
joy the Will Rogers program the Library is co
sponsoring with the Deerfield Area Historical
Society on March 29 at 7;30 p.m. No com
puters. no cyberspace.
