Small donations of a bag or box of books can be brought to the Albany Library when the library is open. Please contact us for larger donations. We can be reached at 510.526.3720 during library open days/hours, after selecting a language option, wait for the option to reach Friends of the Albany Library to leave a message as our office is not “staffed”. Leave a message and we’ll call you back. You can also reach us by email at friendsalbany@yahoo.com any time. Please note that our office isn’t staffed, so it may take a few days for us to get back to you.
