Stratford Squares for Lifelong Learning

In 1999, the Bloomingdale Public Library collaborated with Stratford Square Mall on the "Stratford Squares for Lifelong Learning" tile wall. This project involved residents creating hand-painted tiles as a fundraiser for a new library computer lab. The tiles were installed near the mall's food court and became a part of Bloomingdale's history.
