Bloomington Library will be CLOSED Monday, May 13 through 5pm on Thursday, 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.
Calling all Plant People! The popular BPL Plant Share is back and will be held on the library's patio.
Plant lovers: bring plants, cuttings, and seeds to share, and take new plants home. Introduce your plant to its new parent and be ready to share information such as its name and its light, soil, and water preferences. If you have extra pots or plant supplies to share, you can bring those as well.
No registration is needed.
Please note: The McLean County Extension Office has advised us not to share outdoor garden plants (dug up from your yard) at our plant swaps due to the invasive jumping worm in McLean county. Please only bring houseplants, cuttings, and seeds!
