Parking is readily available behind the library and along Market Street.

This permit needs to be put on the driver’s side dashboard.
Normal meter hours are Monday through Saturday, 10am-5pm. For more information, please visit the Town of Bloomsburg’s parking page here.
You can download the Passport App to your phone using the links below, or pay as needed on the Passport website here.
