Library Tour…the sequel You know, once you’ve blog-toured 38 libraries, it’s a hard habit to break. I visited the Clifton Park-Halfmoon Library to learn about a health information initiative grant,…

Library Tour- Albany’s many branches
The Albany Library serves over 97 thousand people, so they get more than one library branch. Seven total, in fact. Getting to all of them was a challenge all by itself. The Library Director completed a “bike to work day” by reaching them all by bike (and bus) in one day, and I am just now realizing what an accomplishment that was. Well done, Scott! They are very dedicated to bike and bus transportation. They have bike-care stations at each branch and sell bus passes.

Tour of Libraries: Guilderland Library
I’m not sure if it’s a good thing to define areas by where you can shop, but if I was to describe where the Guilderland Library was to my friends I would say “near Crossgates Mall”. It’s also close to SUNY Albany’s main campus. This particular library is one of my favorites (but I think one other is my absolute fav).
I wish I had paused to read the sign to find out why there is a life-sized cow (bull? didn’t check) in their foyer.

Library Passport Challenge: Rensselaer Public Library
This building used to be a pharmacy, but now is a modern library. It’s right next to the Amtrak station, which is known as the Albany station even though it is in Rensselaer. Possibly because Rensselaer is hard to spell- it’s Dutch.
This library, in Rensselaer county, NY, is not to be confused with Rensselaer Polytech Institute, which is in Troy; or Rensselaerville Library, which is in Albany county; or the Jasper County Public Library, which is in Rensselaer, Indiana. (They apparently get some strange phone calls).
