Temporarily Unable to Accept Book Donations

The Friends of the Library are temporarily unable to accept book and media donations as they work to process the high volume of donations that have been recently received by our generous customers. Thank you, Arlington Heights, for your overwhelming generosity, and for your patience as the Friends work to make room for your donations in the future.

Visit ahml.info for updates on when the Friends are able to accept donations. News will be posted on our website as soon as they can accept donations again.

If you're interested in joining the Friends of the Library, you can learn more about the Friends at ahml.info/about/friends.
