The grand opening of the Arbor Hill/West Branch Library is scheduled for June 12, 2010. The striking profile of the new library has transformed the landscape of Henry Johnson Boulevard and serves as a beacon to the community in Albany, NY. It was designed with the latest trends in library technologies, and to fit within an urban neighborhood setting. This branch is a building that will serve as a center for learning, built to energize an economically depressed neighborhood.
The library will house a collection of more than 75,000 items for customers of all ages, as well as a state-of-the-art public computing system with free Wi-Fi Internet connections, all in a wonderful, energy efficient, and environmentally responsible building.
