A big thank you to the City, Library and Library Staff, Friends of the Albany Library Volunteers, Albany High Key Club and Albany Middle School 8th Grade Community Service Volunteers and Library Patrons! The Friends of the Library Fall Book Sale was a great success! 

Your efforts, contributions and support were fabulous! We could not have done it without you! 

We are targeting our next Book Sale in the Spring of 2026. Please check back as we will post the date once that is determined. In the meantime, you can purchase books on the book sale shelf in the library and online at Shop Friends of the Albany Library Books and Collectibles | AbeBooks: Eve’s Book Garden
