Resource Bags
Resource bags contain a collection of items on a theme or subject, or specific items requested by educators for use in the classroom. Items can include books, media, toys and a guide to relevant digital resources. We also have several book discussion sets when educators need multiple copies of a title. Please submit requests at least one week in advance for the bag to be prepared.
- Preschool bags are picked up and delivered to schools on Wednesday by AHML's delivery service.
- District 25 bags are picked up at AHML on Wednesdays by the District 25 van.
- Districts 21, 59 and private school bags are picked up and delivered to schools on Wednesdays by AHML's delivery service.
- District 214 bags are picked up at AHML daily Monday-Friday by the District 214 van.

School Visits
Visits with the library are tailored to your needs.
Take a tour of our spaces, jumpstart a research project, explore the collection, enjoy a storytime, and more. The library can also bring our resources to you! We can provide book talks, storytimes, database demonstrations, and more. You can also request a visit from the bookmobile, schedule permitting.
Library staff are also available for parent/teacher nights, literacy nights, STEM nights and other special events.
Scout Visits
Arlington Heights-based Scout groups can request a visit with the library to help earn their badges. Scout leaders can review our list of activities offered for Scout groups and submit a request to connect with our staff to schedule a visit.
