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.
Are you looking for a book club without assigned reading? Do you just need to spend a peaceful hour with a good book? The Silent Book Club offers this!
Bring a book with you or find a new favorite in the stacks which you will enjoy reading from 6-7pm in the calm, discussion-free Quiet Reading Room. After the hour of reading ends, you have the option to socialize with other readers in the library's Conference Room until 7:30pm.
All readers are welcome. Those enjoying audiobooks should plan to use headphones. No registration is required.
Questions about this program can be emailed to Mimi at reference@bloomingtonlibrary.org.
