What's New At the Albany Public Library

Wow . . . what an evening - standing room only! Gregory Maguire spoke eloquently and with great humor of his remembrances of Albany Libraries of the past and the kind librarians who sparked his wicked imagination. He reminded us of the power of information!

You're invited to a special Staff Reception with Gregory Maguire next Tuesday, April 25th, 3-4pm at the Pine Hills Library. This is an opportunity to meet and talk with the local-boy who made it big with Wicked.

And don't forget to join us at 7pm at Main for his lecture/reading.
