Bloomington Public Library

Bloomington Public Library, Illinois, has been offering quality services, programs, and resources for more than 150 years. In 1857, the library opened to the public based on efforts by the Ladies’ Library Association. After Mrs. Sarah B Withers donated land to house a new building, the library relocated and was christened Withers Library in 1887. It kept that name until 1977, when a new library was built at 205 E. Olive St., and the name was changed to Bloomington Public Library.
