BOOK DONATIONS PAUSED UNTIL WEDNESDAY, MAY 22

Book Donations will be paused until May 22 in order to get ready for new donations after our Spring book sale. We are happy to receive your donations after May 22!

Small donations of a bag or box of books can be brought to the Albany Library when the library is open. Please contact us for larger donations. We can be reached at 510.526.3720 during library open days/hours, after selecting a language option, wait for the option to reach Friends of the Albany Library to leave a message as our office is not “staffed”. Leave a message and we’ll call you back. You can also reach us by email at friendsalbany@yahoo.com any time. Please note that our office isn’t staffed, so it may take a few days for us to get back to you.

Please see the Donate Books page which can be accessed by clicking the link on the navigation bar in the upper right of the Home Page for more information on acceptable donations.
