There are so many things going on at Bloomingdale Public Library this month!

BPL ends our Summer Hours this month. We are closed

Monday, September 5 in observance of Labor Day.

We reopen on Tuesday, September 6 and

Sunday hours resume Sunday, September 11.

As always, many of our services are available online even when the building is closed, including library card registration, eBooks and downloads,

online learning, and more.

Are you interested in leadership, volunteering, and/or community service?

The Friends of the Library are looking for new leadership to continue the wonderful work they’ve been doing for the past 40+ years benefitting the

Bloomingdale Public Library. If interested, please contact the Friends
