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.
Join Lee Eutsey as he educates, entertains, and invites participation by Abraham Lincoln enthusiasts of all ages while presenting information that most rarely consider: the people, events, and stories associated with the 16th President's body post-assassination. Researched and told from the point of view of a modern funeral director/embalmer, this is Lincoln history that has rarely been revealed.
Eutsey is a lifelong resident of Central Illinois, a graduate of Worsham College, and a licensed funeral director/embalmer. As a self-taught, self-described Lincoln postmortem historian, he regularly works with recognized Lincoln professionals in the field. His article The Grim Harvest was recently published by the Abraham Lincoln Association. He is currently working on his first book about this topic.
