Bookmobile

The Bookmobile is a library on wheels. It weighs 27,000 pounds, is 35 feet in length, and is 11 feet 3 inches tall. It currently visits 42 stops every three weeks in the city of Bloomington and the Golden Prairie Public Library District (Arrowsmith, Bloomington, Dale, Dawson, and Old Town Townships). The Bookmobile has about 3,500 items for all ages, including best sellers, paperbacks, large print, young adult and children's books, magazines, books on tape & CD, videos, DVDs, and CDs.

The loan period for all items checked out on the Bookmobile is three weeks. Customers may request any item that is not on the Bookmobile.

Customers who live within the city limits or in the Golden Prairie Public Library District (GPPLD), may obtain a library card from the Bookmobile at no charge. We also renew expired library cards and replace lost cards. There is a $2 fee for the replacement of lost cards. If you would like to know when the Bookmobile comes to your neighborhood, please see the schedule.

Bookmobile stops may be cancelled because of holidays, weather conditions or mechanical difficulties. When stops are cancelled,  fines related to the missed stop are forgiven at the next visit. If you have any questions, please e-mail outreach@bloomingtonlibrary.org or phone 309.828.6091 ext. 221.
