Dine Out for the Library
We welcome our new dine out partner, DeAngelo's, in May. Enjoy a delicious lunch or dinner and DeAngelo's will donate 15% of what you spend when you bring your flyer and dine any time on Tuesday, May 8 and May 15, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., dine-in or carry-out. DeAngelo's Italian restaurant has been part of the Bloomington community since 2003. Located in the Eastland Plaza, DeAngelo's has served top quality Italian food since its inception, sourcing many ingredients from local farmers. Show your flyer available at library kiosks or print from our website. Your dining out has brought in more than $13,000 for the Library! Thank you for enjoying all that great food.
