Arlington Heights library creating noisy 'makerspace' where people can learn By FOX 32 Digital Staff Published Arlington Heights Memorial Library is at the forefront of a new space where people can learn loudly. ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. - A suburban library is creating a makerspace for people to channel their creativity and learn loudly. "A makerspace is a DIY collaborative place where people can build, design, sew, cook," said Arlington Memorial Heights Library Executive Director Mike Driskell. The library is in the process of building one of its own, but this one is a little different than ones you might usually find in libraries and schools.
