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.
Hang out with fellow manga and anime fans virtually on Zoom! During this meeting, members of ISU's Japanese Language Club will be teaching the club basic conversational Japanese phrases. They will also take requests for words attendees want to learn and will answer questions about the language.
Afterward, there will be time for club members to talk about any manga and anime they have recently read/watched.
During the registration window for this program, registration can be completed online below, by calling 309.590.6168, or by visiting the Adult Services Desk at the Library and registering in person. As soon as registration is complete, you will receive an email with a link to access the online discussion. Registration is required.
The April 7 session of Teen Manga & Anime Club will be recorded and will be available only to those who register for the session -- even if they are unable to attend the session live.
