What's Up at the Library?

 

If you have always used our print investment resources in our Business Center, now is the perfect time to get acquainted with their online equivalents. More and more publishers are migrating to an exclusively online format, and this trend will probably continue. While we currently subscribe to most of these sources in print, we are concerned that you will only be able to access these resources online in the near future. Come to this class, and learn how to use Morningstar online, which is available on the Library's website. Register online or at the Reception Desk, 847-392-0100.

Date and time: Saturday, January 8, 10–11 a.m.
Location: Business Center

This will be followed by questions from the audience. Call 847-253-5532 to register.

Thinking of getting an eReader this holiday? Here are some things you might like to know:

You can check out a Nook, Kindle or Sony Reader from the Library for two weeks to give them a test run.

You can come to the Library's Welcome Desk to try them out and talk to staff members about the features of each. For questions about eReaders, call the Welcome Desk at 847-506-2640.

The Library has eBooks that you can download for free from My Media Mall on our website. The eBooks are compatible with most eReaders except the Kindle. Click here to learn more about which eReaders are compatible with My Media Mall.

In January you can drop by the Welcome Desk on Saturdays from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. to learn how to use your eReader to download the Library's eBooks



 
The Library's drive-up window is now open Monday–Friday, beginning at 8 a.m., so you can pick things up before you go to work.
 
The drive-up window can also save you time throughout the day. Use your computer and the drive-up window to get what you need. Go online and reserve your books, movies and music. When they are ready, we'll email you, and you can pick them up at the drive-up window located in the underground parking lot. If you need to drop off materials, there's a book drop right next to it - perfect for a quick stop while out running your errands.

 


Does your book group need suggestions for books that prompt great discussions? Would your PTA group like to know about the latest books? Or maybe your women’s club would like to learn about literary fiction for women. These are just some of the book talk topics that library staff members can offer your group.
 
If your group meets in Arlington Heights, we will come to your meeting. That includes homes or public meeting places. We can also arrange for your group to come to the Library.
 
We prefer a minimum of ten attendees and that half of the attendees are A.H. residents. If you would like to schedule a book talk or want more information, contact Anne Harmel, Advisory Specialist, at 847-870-4117 or aharmel@ahml.info.


 
Violinist Oliver Colbentson, former concertmaster with the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra in New York, will be joined by piano virtuoso Jimin Yun for an outstanding concert of classical masterpieces by such composers as Mozart, Grieg and Beethoven. Register online or at the Reception Desk on the second floor, 847-392-0100.
