Bloomington Library will be CLOSED Monday, May 13 through 5pm on Thursday, May 16.
The Bookmobile will make its stops during these closures. Find the Bookmobile schedule at bit.ly/bookmobileschedule.
The closure will allow us to begin to bring back and shelve 3,500 boxes of books which were moved to storage when our construction project began. Additional closures will be necessary and will be announced as details develop. Some collections may not be available until the move is complete.
During open hours, call 309.590.6120 or text 309.446.8398 with questions.
An Evening with Adam Kinzinger
Online via Zoom, former Illinois Congressman Adam Kinzinger will discuss his bestselling memoir Renegade: Defending Democracy and Liberty in Our Divided Country, which captures one of the most transformative periods in recent history and recounts Kinzinger's time in public service.
From 2011-2022, Congressman Kinzinger served six terms in the United States House of Representatives, representing Illinois’ 16th Congressional District. Following the events of January 6, 2021, Kinzinger demonstrated an exceedingly rare loyalty to country over party. As one of only two Republicans on the January 6th Committee, Rep. Kinzinger stood against his own party in pursuit of democracy and justice.
Steve Edwards, award-winning journalist and interviewer and former host of WBEZ's ( Chicago's public radio station) Eight Forty-Eight and The Afternoon Shift will moderate the conversation with Kinzinger.
