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 the Ecology Action Center in reading Adventures of an Aluminum Can by Alison Inches, with illustrations by Mark Chambers. This hilarious picture book tells the story of aluminum recycling from the diary entries of a can. The story helps educate students of all ages about the manufacturing process and the recycling process.
After reading, students will learn more about recycling in our own community and how to properly recycle aluminum cans. Following the story and discussions, children will emboss designs on sheets of aluminum made from old aluminum cans!
Questions about this program can be emailed to Ms. Alysha at childrensstaff@bloomingtonlibrary.org.
