LIBRARY CLOSURE - May 20-23

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.

  • Monday’s English Conversation Group will meet at STAR Literacy (201 E. Grove St.)
  • Tuesday’s Fiction Book Club will meet online via Zoom. Visit bit.ly/fiction521 to register for this program and receive the Zoom link.

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.

Browser Packs

A Browser Pack is a collection of up to 15 items, curated by Library staff.

Patrons with a Bloomington Public Library card or a card from another library that is registered at Bloomington Public Library may request browser packs. Library cards must be in good standing.

Browser packs contain up to 15 items total. The number of items in each browser pack is dependent on subject availability and the discretion of library staff. Popular seasonal items may be limited. Due to construction, some collections have limited availability.

Materials will be placed on hold. You will be contacted when your materials are ready for pick up.

If you know exactly which titles you want, place a hold through our catalog, rather than using this form.
