My family and I are life-long residents of Albany. When my children were young, we enjoyed going to what is now known as the Bach Branch for young readers programs. Even then, it was a great place to meet friends and enjoy community events.

I have volunteered with the Friends and Foundation of the Albany Public Library for seven years, and am currently the Treasurer.

I love the Albany Public Library because of the branches. The seven branches of APL are located throughout the City, and are all within a short walk or bicycle ride from home for most people.
