Support the Friends and Foundation of the Albany Public Library and join us as we celebrate this years honorees  Lydia Davis and Eugene Mirabelli. The 8th annual Literary Legends Gala will be held on October 16th at the Pine Hills Branch APL. 

Purchase your Honorary Committee ticket by August 6th to be listed on the invitation card.

Note that tickets are only available online at this time. Paper tickets will be available at all branches soon.

Last year’s gala was virtual and we are navigating the new normal and learning what will make our honorees and guests comfortable. Like you, we are figuring things out as the post-pandemic situation changes each week. Some things we do not yet know: there may or may not be a buffet, or a live jazz band. But there will be food, and there will be music! And our silent auction is back this year! Get your ticket and join the party!

The Friends and Foundation of the Albany Public Library provides critical financial support to the Albany Public Library in order to help the Library provide education, literacy, career development, cultural enrichment and lifelong learning. We can’t wait to party with you at the library!
