Bloomington Library will be CLOSED Monday-Thursday, May 20-23.
The Bookmobile will make its stops during these closures. The Bookmobile schedule is available at bit.ly/bookmobileschedule.
This closure will allow us to continue to unbox 107,000 books (which were moved to storage when our construction project began) and to shelve 262,000 books. Some collections and areas of the library will not be available until the library reopens on Friday, May 24.
During open hours leading up to the closure, call 309.590.6120 or text 309.446.8398 with questions.
Join us at Miller Park Zoo for a family night zoovie. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mutant Mayhem (PG) will be shown at 8pm. Arrive early to visit the library's table, collect your summer reading log, and say "hi" to the animals!
Beginning May 17, staff at the library's Children's Desk will give away 200 free tickets while supplies last. Every attendee age 2 years and older must present a ticket for entry, and all children under the age of 17 years must be accompanied by an adult. If you don’t get free tickets from library, tickets will cost $5 each at the zoo door.
Doors will open at 7pm; bring a lawn chair.
