I know that they are going through renovations, but this place is great. They will bend over backwards to get you books you need. As a teacher, they will pull books for me. They don’t ban books…as no library should…so I can find everything I need. I just moved here and was worried. I’m so pleasantly surprised with the amazing staff.

Had to update my library card. Still baffles me why democrats are against identification for voting, but are all in on identification for a basic library card.

Hi Kathleen, We started offering tax assistance back in February, and it ends tomorrow (April 7). Unfortunately, it is by appointment, and there are no appointments remaining.

Do you have "Shine Your Own Icy Crown", by Amanda Lovelace, in your collection?

Michael Escoubas | Oct 16, 2021
Bloomington Public Library | Oct 16, 2021

Steve Balbach is correct. Bloomington Library owns "Shine Your Icy Crown" by Amanda Lovelace, but it's checked out with a due date of 7.30.21. You can put it on hold using your online account, or you can call the library and ask a librarian to put it on hold for you. If you opt for the later, you'd call 309.590.6168. Here is a link to the title in our online catalog: bit.ly/3AZKgUy

What to do to get my book there if I am not American and am not an adult?

Nazmun Nahar | Oct 17, 2019
Bloomington Public Library | Oct 17, 2019

You must be a Bloomington resident to get a library card from our library. If you are a Bloomington resident, a parent or legal guardian's signature is required for anyone under the age of 17 to obtain a library card. The child and the parent must both be present. By signing the registration form, parents/guardians acknowledge responsibility for the items borrowed, fees incurred, and their child's selection of materials. Emancipated minors who have proof of their court ordered emancipation may receive an adult card without parental consent. If you attend school in either Unit 5 or District 87, you should have received a Student Library Card from the media specialist at your school.
