BOOK DONATIONS PAUSED APRIL 2 – MAY 13

The Friends are pausing taking donations after Thursday, April 2 so that we can prepare for the huge spring book sale on Saturday, April 25 and Sunday, April 26. We look forward to seeing you at both the book sale and also to receiving your donations again starting Wednesday, May 13.

Until our donation pause on April 2, call us 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.
