Narrative:

Obtained full briefing (including asking for NOTAMS) from FSS. I was advised by flight service no NOTAMS for aiy. Filed IFR flight plan from N88 to aiy. Landed runway 22 at aiy with winds directly down the runway. Dropped off passenger west/O leaving transient parking area. Restarted aircraft, contacted clearance delivery for IFR clearance back to N88. Advised controller (clearance delivery) twice prior to takeoff I would be departing runway 22. No mention either time from controller that runway was closed for takeoffs (ok for lndgs). Upon departure while climbing through approximately 600' MSL contacted departure control and at this time was asked if I had taken off from runway 22. When I replied 'affirmative', controller then asked if I was aware that runway 22 was closed for takeoffs. I advised him that I was unaware of runway being closed for takeoffs he replied, 'its in the airport facs directory'. I was then cleared to 5000' for cruise. No further problems encountered during flight.
