Used to be one of the best libraries in the country. It was known for its collection, excellent reference service, special services, and the high quality of the professional librarians.
I've been to all the libraries in the NW suburbs and this is my favorite. AHML is clean, huge, modern, well-equipped, and has ample parking.
It is puzzling that a library would cede its strongest asset in the marketplace and adopt a model where all of the stores are going out of business.
The other huge asset, librarians, are gone also. Non-professional clerks can't answer questions and don't know the collection. NO HELP for CUSTOMERS.
Opens earlier than other libraries on Sunday. Great spacious area for the entire family.
The first time we visited this library, I was very surprised at how big it was and how much there was to do there. They have a HUGE book selection, a computer lab that anyone can use, a great kids play area (that my kids absolutely LOVE), a great selection of DVDs and Blu-rays, etc. It's very clean and well-organized. The staff is extremely helpful and it's always easy to find someone if you need help with something. There is plenty of parking and it's easy to find, as it's located right in downtown Arlington Heights. We really enjoy visiting the library as a family and will continue to do so.
Great library. My kids love to come here because of the computer lab, and the HUGE selection of books
A couple of years ago they dumped most of the collection especially the reference collection. They adopted a bookstore model of service with many copies of popular titles but no depth to the collection. I read a couple of popular titles a week and appreciat short waiting times for popular books. I no longer use the library for serious reading. Ironically Kindle is much better.
It is a travesty that an educated community has such poor library services, especially when it used to be among the best.
