Librarians have ALWAYS been hot

I have no idea how long the Hot Librarian stereotype has been, as the young folks say, a Thing, but clearly it existed back in 1965.

The Friends of the Albany Public Library thank you for voting YES on the library budget on Tuesday, May 15, 2012. No vote scheduled for 2013, because there is no increase.

Quote

"I must say that I find television very educational.
The minute somebody turns it on,
I go to the library and read a book."

- Groucho Marx

Consider a Gift to the Annual Appeal

It's clear, you love your libraries! We hope you'll consider making a generous contribution to APL's Annual Appeal.

The Albany Public Library changes lives, answering life's most complex questions and serving as the public's destination for social, intellectual and cultural discourse.

As our world changes, Albany's libraries face new challenges with increased demand for more books, materials, and programs housed in aging and outdated facilities. That's why your annual contribution is so important.

Your gifts to the library though The Albany Public Library Foundation means the difference between adequate libraries and great libraries. With private support, we can expand our collections and services to include more of what customers want in materials, technology, and programs.

So, look for the Annual Appeal information in the mail. We thank you.

Donations can be sent to Albany Public Library Foundation, 161, Washington Avenue, Albany, New York 12210. Credit Card contributions can be processed by calling 518-427-4346.
