Ending in early February:

Winter Reading ends on Friday, February 3. Friday is the last day to log online minutes or turn in your reading log.

Valentines for Veterans ends on Monday, February 6. Stop in to the Youth Service department to create or drop off a Valentine card to be delivered to hospitalized Veterans.

Visit our website for details for both events -

look under Library News in the left column.

Information available through the last day of each event.

The library’s new lockers are ready for use! Access library materials even when the library is closed by picking up your holds at the new lockers, located to the right of our main entrance. Picking up holds at the lockers is both convenient and contactless. Using the lockers is easy!

1. Place a hold and select the lockers as your pickup location.
2. Wait for the library to contact you; you’ll receive notifications by email, text, or phone call that your items are available.
3. Scan your Bloomingdale library card at the lockers to pick up your materials! 

During the month of February donations of Move in Essentials (listed below) will be accepted at the Bloomingdale Village Hall, Library, Fire Department, and Park District (JRC) facilities. Donated items will be provided to Veterans who are exiting homelessness. Only new, store-bought items will be accepted.

There are a lot of special tools in the Computer Lab that our patrons can use; our newest edition is the ability to convert audio cassette tapes to digital files, perfect for archiving or sharing via email! Save your personal audio cassettes to digital files today - our staff in the BPL Computer Lab can show you how.

Also, if you forget a charging cable, we have them available to borrow for use while at the library. We have iPhone and Android cables, including USB, USB2, and USB3 connectors.
