NYS Gov. Andrew Cuomo issued an executive order (202.13) postponing library board, school board, and village elections until at least June 1, 2020. We don’t yet know when the APL trustee election will be held. (Updated March 30, 2020)

The Albany Public Library is led by a team devoted to connecting you with the information you need to improve and enrich your life.
In addition to the leadership team, we have more than 120 full- and part-time employees and dozens of volunteers who help make it possible for us to bring so many resources, programs, and events to Albany, New York residents.
The library’s nine-member Board of Trustees is charged with ensuring that the library fulfills its mission in a fiscally and operationally responsible way. The board is governed by a set of bylaws, which is regularly reviewed and amended as needed.
The full board meets the second Tuesday of every month (unless otherwise noted). The public is invited and encouraged to attend.
Videos from recent board meetings can be viewed on YouTube.
**Board meeting agendas and minutes are available via BoardDocs. These documents for meetings prior to May 2019 can be found below.**
