The library’s nine-member elected Board of Trustees is charged with ensuring that the library fulfills its mission in a fiscally and operationally responsible way. Library trustees are Albany residents who are elected to five-year terms. They receive no compensation and represent the interests of the community.
- The full board meets the second Tuesday of every month at 6 pm at the Washington Ave. Branch, unless otherwise noted.
- Committees meet as needed.
- Officers are elected to one-year terms at the July meeting.
- All board and committee meetings are open to the public.
- Public comments may be shared with the board in person at the meetings, by phone at (518) 290-6905, or email publiccomment@albanypubliclibrary.org. You need to include your name and street address to have your comment read at the meeting and entered into the public record.
