North Albany Branch
Building currently CLOSED due to COVID-19
We like to think of our North Albany Branch as the biggest little branch of the Albany Public Library!
The City School District of Albany recently purchased the building, and the YMCA no longer operates there, but the library branch is still open! Accessible from the lobby, this convenient branch is a perfect place to check your email, pick up your requests, and browse our book, magazine, CD, and DVD collections.
Located just past the warehouse district with plenty of off-street parking, the North Albany Branch is a great resource for kids, teens, and adults.
To get there by bus:
Route 22 – Broadway & North 3rd St
