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.
The History Reads Book Club will meet to discuss Tinder Box: The Iroquois Theater Disaster 1903 by Anthony Hatch. Participants have the option to meet either in-person at Bloomington Public Library or online via Zoom.
Registration is ONLY REQUIRED for online participants and can be completed online below, in person at the Help Desk on the library's second floor, or by calling 309.590.6168.
Contact the Help Desk at 309.590.6168 or reference@bloomingtonlibrary.org to check out or reserve a print copy of the book. Digital copies of this book (eBook or eAudiobook) may be available through the Libby or Hoopla apps.
