Still Looking Good: Albany Library turns 100!

The city's smallest citizens wish their library a Happy Birthday!!

On December 4, 1913--the Albany Library was born. In a Fourth of July souvenir program from that year, Albany was called the place "where climate, convenience and courtesy cancels competition." Can't beat that!

Albany Library has lived up to all those C's, always striving to be convenient and courteous. And, in this town of 18,000, without using any shady methods to cancel competition, we are still the only public library in town.

Wednesday's Sing-along kicks off our centenary year. Come see if we look good for our age!

(The quote above and many fantastic photos can be found in Images of America: Albany by Karen Sorensen and the Albany Historical Society. We have copies at the Albany Library.)
