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.
With this take-and-make craft, teens can create a Valentine Heart hanging decoration. Kits will be reserved for the first 40 teens who register. An email with details about picking up the kit -- including a pickup deadline -- will follow registration. During registration, registrants will indicate if they’d like to pick up their kit at the Drive-Up Lane, on the Bookmobile, or at the Help Desk (located on the library's 2nd floor). Beginning February 1, registration can be completed online below, by calling 309.590.6168, or by visiting the Help Desk.
Craft kits will contain: 1 wooden heart, a selection of bleeding tissue paper, a small spray bottle, and written instructions. Participants will need to provide their own scissors and water.
