While our library is currently closed to help minimize the spread of COVID-19, we still have so much to offer online.
Your Bloomingdale Public Library card unlocks a world of eBooks, streaming services, online learning and more. Check out some of our top recommendations, listed below.
Is your card expired? Most cards automatically renew, so if you get a ‘card expired’ notification, then there may be another issue. Email us your name and library card number at
bdref@mybpl.org
and we’ll see what we can do.
Please be aware that, because we are closed due to the COVID-19 outbreak, it may take longer than normal to get back to your emails – please be patient.
