North Albany Branch
We like to think of our North Albany Branch as the biggest little branch of the Albany Public Library! When the Capital District YMCA constructed their North Albany facility, they invited Albany Public Library to have a space to serve that neighborhood. Accessible from the YMCA lobby, this convenient branch is a perfect stop before or after a workout.
Check your email, pick up your requests, browse our book, magazine, CD, and DVD collections, and on alternate Fridays, settle in for a family-friendly movie! 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
