Library Groundbreaking Ceremonies Held

A ceremonial groundbreaking for the second of two new branch libraries for the Albany Public Library was held May 11, 2009.  The branch, located on New Scotland Avenue, was named in honor of the late John J. Bach, former Albany City School District superintendent, avid library supporter and local resident.  His daughter, library trustee Ellen Bach, spoke at the ceremony along with several other dignitaries including Mayor Gerald Jennings, Assemblyman Ron Canastrari, DASNY Executive Director Paul Williams and Library Board President Dennis Gaffney. 

On April 30, 2009, a ceremony was held for the new Arbor Hill / West Hill Branch Library.  This new branch is located on Henry Johnson Boulevard between First and Second Streets. When built, it will be the first library serving the Arbor Hill community in 47 years and the first ever serving the West Hill neighborhood.

Both library branches were designed by Goldman + Hom Architects with the intent to receive a LEED Silver Rating.  For more information on the projects, see our Jobsites page or click on the branch name.
