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.
In celebration of the 2024 Summer Reading theme -- Read. Renew. Repeat. -- teens will create festival lanterns from recycled materials, including used soda bottles, used magazines, and an assortment of paper. A 3D-printed coin cell battery holder, a battery, and an LED light will be provided which each teen will insert into the bottom of their lantern. Other supplies will also be provided, such as markers, wire for the handle, glue, and scissors.
The program will take place in the Library's Innovation Lab.
