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.
Register to pick up a craft packet and to join us online (via Zoom) to create a stress ball using a balloon and water beads.
During the registration window for this program, registration can be completed online below, by calling 309.590.6141 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 the online discussion.
To participate in this program you will need some supplies. A craft supply bag containing most of the necessary supplies can be picked up by registrants from the Adult Services Desk beginning Monday, October 5. Craft supply bags need to be picked up by October 21 in order to prepare the water beads in time for the program.
