Albany Public Library Locations

We are now following CDC guidance and metrics for community transmission in relation to service changes in the library during the pandemic. As the amount of community transmission increases, the library will slowly implement phase restrictions on which in-person library services are permitted. And as community transmission decreases, the library will reintroduce those services.

 

CURRENT PHASE: HIGH | The following in-person services are suspended at this time: study rooms, meeting rooms, in-person reference assistance, all indoor and select outdoor programs, indoor seating, and restrooms. Book and material returns must be done via interior and exterior book drops. There are capacity restrictions on the number of people who can be in each branch building at one time. | Updated 8/25/21

 

EXPANDED HOURS, INCLUDING SUNDAYS | There are now Sunday hours at the Arbor Hill/West Hill Branch and Bach Branch plus additional hours throughout the week at the Washington Ave. Branch. | Updated 9/9/21

 

Core services are available in person during all phases of the pandemic: | Pickup and checkout of material; browsing of book, music, movie, reference, and all other collections; computer and internet use; copying, printing, faxing, and scanning documents; and purchasing or replenishing CDTA Navigator bus passes.

 

[North Albany is closed for construction. This branch is projected to open in early 2022.]
