Thanks to the National Endowment for the Arts Big Read, HPL will be celebrating the powerful book 'Homegoing' by Yaa Gyasi.
Join us for a cultural exploration as we learn to make the traditional Ghanaian snack Poloo and groove to the vibrant sounds of popular Ghanaian tunes. It's a delightful event that brings literature, flavors, and music together to celebrate the heritage of 'Homegoing'."
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.
