PS: August 2020 Our Poetry Book Sale was cancelled this year due to Covid-19 precautions, but we are in conversation with Albany Poets about holding the sale in April 2021. Stay tuned for an announcement in January 2021.

April is #NationalPoetryMonth! Start your spring right with some new poetry books at the Friends and Foundation’s Poetry Book Sale! Support local poetry and expand your poetry library!

Our April Poetry Book Sale will feature hundreds of poetry books donated by Friends of APL and local poets for bargain prices.

There is not cost to register, but we expect that all exhibitors will make a donation to the FFAPL.

Proceeds benefit the “Friends Fund” of the FFAPL, which benefits the improvement of the large auditorium at the Washington Ave Library and supports the Tuesday book talk program at Washington Ave.
