Elisa receiving her Literary Legends award

Thank you and congratulations to Elisa Albert, our 2020 Literary Legend! With her quick wit and infectious spirit, Elisa made the gala a lively occasion. She enthralled us with stories from her life, gave insight to her process as a writer, and left us with a great list of books to read next.

Our honored guest Elisa!

The Gala Campaign this year has raised over $26,000! Thank you to all of our sponsors, especially Key Bank and the University at Albany Foundation, for your support! Our Literary Legends WiFi Extender Campaign successfully raised $2000 by October 19, enough to pay for one branch. The first branch will be Delaware Ave. Stay tuned for more details. We will continue to collect donations for this campaign until December 1st.
