You are invited to attend the annual meeting of the Friends of the Albany Public Library on Wednesday, May 18 at 7 p.m. It will be held at the Pine Hills branch at 517 Western Ave, between West Lawrence and North Allen Street.
Whether or not you are a member, you are welcome to attend. Of course, we invite you to become contributor, at only $15 per year. The Friends provide programming for the library nearly every week, a book review, an author talk, or special event. The organization also contributes money to the library for events such as the Summer Youth Program. At the meeting, there will be some some brief reports, the election of new officers, and an award.
At about 7:15, there will be a presentation by photographer Chuck Miller, a vociferous blogger for the Albany Times Union, who has written about ghost buildings, Albany Patroons, music, trivia, and much more. The topic: how to write a blog for 7 years and keep it fresh.
