Albany Library closing August 18, 2012 for renovation

The Albany Public Library is planning to close for one week in order to complete renovations. The last day the library will be open prior to the renovation is Saturday, Aug. 18. The library will be closed the following week and reopen on Monday, Aug. 27.
Renovations at the library include painting and new carpets. The shelving system will be rearranged and new units added so that more books and other items can be kept on hand. In addition, the circulation desk is being remodeled to provide for a more efficient workspace.
No items checked out from the Albany Public Library will be due back during the week of closure. Patrons are welcome to use and return items to other Great River Regional Library locations including the Melrose Public Library and the St. Cloud Public Library. Holds will not be available at the Albany library during the closure but neither will they expire. The hold period will be extended to provide an equivalent opportunity to pick up materials.
