LIBRARY CLOSURE

Bloomington Library will be CLOSED Monday, May 13 through 5pm on Thursday, May 16.

  • The library will be closed ALL DAY from May 13-15.
  • The library will open at 5pm on 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.

Bloomington Public Library no longer charges overdue fines! Library items still have due dates and are expected to be returned on time to give other patrons an opportunity to borrow items. Items not returned within 28 days of their due date will be assumed lost and the patron's account will be assessed a replacement fee plus a $5 processing fee for each lost item. Accounts with long-term fees may be referred to collections.
