Water main break on Elk Street blocks access to APL parking lot

To those using the 161 Washington Avenue branch, especially those attending Friends of Albany Public library talk today:

You may have some trouble getting into the parking lot at Washington Ave. today.

There's a water main break on Elk Street, right across from the parking lot. The city has closed off Elk Street between Dove and Lark. As of now, you can't travel down the last part of Elk to get into the APL lot.

The library is open and you can walk into the building using the back entrance. But, you probably won't be able to get into the parking lot.

The library is sorry for the inconvenience and late notice; they just learned about this themselves.

Spread the word!
