Arlington Heights Memorial Library

For the seventh year in a row, Arlington Heights Memorial Library (AHML) has received a five-star rating in Library Journal's national rating of public libraries. Five stars is the highest rating that a library can receive, and AHML is one of only 21 libraries in the nation to have earned five stars for each of the past seven years.

"This is an honor not only for our dedicated staff and trustees but also for our customers who support the library," said Executive Director Jason Kuhl. "Our customers are the reason we do what we do and in many ways this five-star recognition belongs to them."

Star ratings are based on the annual number of library visits, circulation, program attendance and public Internet computer use. Kuhl added that the library's range of programs for children, teens and adults plus specialized services offered in the library's Business Center and Training Center were key in receiving this distinctive recognition.
