Arlington Heights Memorial Library: Programs & Events

Two soul-singing brothers are sent on a "mission from God" to raise $5000 to save a Chicago orphanage. On their fund-raising tour de force, they encounter a multitude of mishaps and mayhem.

Calling all WFH and remote workers: We know that working remotely can be lonely at times and it is easy to overwork yourself.
Whether you work from home, a coffee shop or a conference room at the library, we invite you to come take a break and socialize with your fellow remote workers.
Drop in and recharge in the Cardinal Room. Drinks and snacks will be provided.
