Visit the Albany Branch library to speak with a representative from the Women's Empowerment Center of the Community Renewal Team (CRT).
The center is gender focused, helping women get connected to different services in their area of need whether it be Employment, Education, Housing, etc. Additionally, there will be a representative of the Health Services Department offering HIV and Hep C testing, and enrolling clients in medical services and case management.
The Albany Branch Library endeavors daily to maintain its role as one of Albany Avenue’s most vital resources. The Albany Branch was established in 1926. It was first located in the Northwest School and then in rented quarters at 1239 Albany Avenue. The branch’s present location at 1250 Albany Avenue opened in February 1950 in a building designed by H. Sage Goodwin. In 2011 a new 8,000 square foot facility on the corner of Albany and Blue Hills Avenues replaced the sixty-one-year-old structure.
