love this library! the librarians are always very kind and helpful. parking in the area is super easy as well, and it's really accessible by bike! lots of places to sit and read both inside the library and right outside, and they have quite a large selection of manga (more than other alameda libraries i've been to)

Best place to go in your local community to support your library on the books you need the most in life.

I don’t really like this library, especially for kids. They have movies, plus two computers at kid-level, before the kids even reach the books. You need to put in your library card number to access the catalog and find book titles, which is not just a pain but feels exclusionary. Lastly, the books are organized in an unintuitive way (at least for me) and a lot the book options feel like they are marketing toys and movies to kids - e.g. LEGOS, DC comics, Nickelodeon, Barbie, etc. It’s better than nothing but near the bottom of the Children’s libraries we have visited.

Yeah it's a bit noisy at times because it truly serves the entire community from young to old, rich to poor. However, the extent of services are unmatched in most ways and this library is a very welcome place for a wide range of people, including those less inclined to use typical "library" services. I have to commend Albany for creating a library that offers so much for almost anyone willing to step inside. While not the most extensive library in The Bay Area, it is hands down my favorite and certainly the most comfortable.

Hello, Our collection has books about drama and theater, some scripts for plays, many books with a lot of drama in them, and Raina Telgemeier's awesome book with the title Drama. We don't carry textbooks for a drama class in a school. Please give us a call, visit, or browse our catalog at https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/ to see if we can help you find exactly what you're looking for.
From the library website; Due to our temporary building closures and the public health precautions we are taking to prevent the spread of COVID-19, we are not accepting book donations at this time. We hope to begin taking donations again once our buildings are open and normal library operations have resumed. We'll update this page once we know when that will be. Thank you for thinking of the Library, and please stay safe!
You can do so now though the book drop as long as isn't full. You can also drop off during pick up service times. Source: https://answers.aclibrary.org/faq/211660
