Fourth Annual Literary Legends Gala Honoring Athena Lord

The Albany Public Library Foundation takes great pleasure in announcing Athena V. Lord as our Literary Legends honoree for 2017. The Library Foundation will celebrate Athena’s contributions to children’s literature and to the life of the City of Albany at our 4th Annual Literary Legends Gala.
