Spotlight on... Children’s Playaways
Have you seen the library’s new audiobook collection in Kids’ World? These audiobooks are on self-contained devices called Playaways. Many families no longer own CD players, and young children often do not have their own digital device for downloading audiobooks. Playaways provide access to audio versions of popular children’s books in a kid-friendly format. The library has a variety of titles to choose from, including the Harry Potter and Captain Underpants series. Their size makes them perfect for plugging in for a long car ride or taking a walk. Search our website for keyword “audiobooks” and look for Format>Playaway in the search menu to see all titles or look for the Playaways display in Kids’ World—just add your own headphones, earbuds or speaker and a AAA battery.

GENEALOGY Discover your roots.
What do an Alabama graveyard, a small town in Italy and an Arlington High School yearbook all have in common? Anyone who does genealogy research knows asking good questions is the first step to discovering your family roots and connections to local history. In that spirit, we asked one of the newest members of our Info Services team, Genealogy and Local History Librarian Nikki Camp, to tell us more about where she’s been and what’s coming in 2022:
How did you get interested in genealogy? My mom has been doing our family genealogy for as long as I can remember. When I was about 10, we took a trip to Alabama specifically for genealogy research. I remember going to the graveyard where several of my ancestors are buried and being able to find their head stones. I’ve been hooked since that trip.
What local history or genealogy resources set AHML apart? The size of our local history collection! We have so many resources that beautifully showcase the history of Arlington Heights. My aunt attended Arlington High School, and, on a whim, I looked her up in one of the yearbooks and was able to find her. It’s amazing to be able to connect a family member to Arlington Heights history.
18 ARLINGTON HEIGHTS MEMORIAL LIBRARY
What is your favorite online research tool? FamilySearch has been instrumental in finding out information about my mom’s side of the family. My great-grandfather and great-grandmother came here from Italy, and FamilySearch has most of the records from their small Italian hometowns digitized.
What is coming in January? We have an exciting class about the 1950 census, which will be released in April. I know a lot of people are waiting on the information they can find there, and this class will tell them how to use the information. I’m also hosting a genealogy discussion where customers can talk about the brick walls they’ve hit in their research. Hopefully either myself or another customer can help them bust the wall down!

Whether it’s a piece of music, an Arduino-powered arcade cabinet, a photo of a painting you just completed or even a finished puzzle, we want to shine the spotlight on what you have created and show others too — on our website and on the library’s social media channels. If you have made something in the library’s Makerplace or in the Studio or with items from our Library of Things collection, we want to hear from you. Want to be highlighted in our Creator Spotlight? Send an email to editorial@ahml.info with the subject line “Creator Spotlight.” You can also tag us on social media with the hashtag #AHMLSeasonOfMaking all winter long as we continue to highlight winter as the season of making using the library, its equipment, resources and tools.
New destination for newspapers and magazines Are you a massive consumer of news? Do you always make sure to have a magazine to read? We have a new destination for you—the Online Newsstand. After the library added online subscriptions to the Daily Herald (via Newsbank), The New York Times and The Washington Post, along with our existing access to thousands more magazines and newspapers through Libby Magazines, PressReader and Flipster, there was a need to give news and magazine readers a page that really focused on the sources they want. At the Online Newsstand, you’ll find just that, with links to selected popular magazine and newspaper titles, as well as the larger multi-title products. There’s even a search tool that lets you find browsable full-text magazines, newspapers and journals from the tens of thousands available in our research databases. Find the Online Newsstand at ahml.info/newsstand or navigate to Borrow > Materials > Online Newsstand in our website menu.
