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.
Teens can learn how to make a voice-activated AI device using open-source software and a Raspberry Pi.
Registration is required and is limited to 10 teens. A supply kit will be reserved for those who register and will be available for pickup from May 17 until the time the program begins on May 24 at either Curbside Pickup or the Adult Services Desk. Registration will open at 10am on Monday, May 10, and can be completed online below, by calling 309.590.6168, or in person at the Adult Services Desk.
Supplies will be provided and will be listed in a detailed email after registration is complete. Teens will need to provide their own scissors and glue. Along with written instructions, this program will take place on Zoom.
