Monday, August 1 is the last day we will collect school supplies in our annual drive with Humanitarian Service Project to collect school supplies for local children as well as others in need of supplies to start the school year off right.

Bloomingdale Public Library is inviting the entire community to take part in Volunteer Month this August! Stop into the library to pick up information about where you can go to volunteer and how to get started, or click on the image above to get information right away from the companies in our area who need volunteers.

Drop in to the library and get your blood pressure checked with staff from Northwestern Memorial Health Care. This is a complimentary blood pressure screening with an emphasis on identifying individuals with elevated blood pressures as well as offering them the tools to seek care when appropriate and awareness of community resources/programming to support lifestyle modification.

Vitalant will be holding a blood drive at BPL on Tuesday, August 30.

Wi-Fi Extended throughout Parking Lot

BPL has installed an exterior Wi-Fi antenna to our building so that our Wi-Fi signal now extends throughout our parking lot and Gazebo area. Residents without home Wi-Fi may now use this resource for remote learning, downloading of eBooks, audiobooks, magazines and more. We have designated the back row of our parking lot as the official Drive-Up Wi-Fi location and is signed as such. Please remember to keep up social distancing rules. Remember that this is a parking lot that is still used by the Village of Bloomingdale and others, so observe all safety precautions as normal. Wi-Fi is available 6:00am to 11:45pm every day.
