Upcoming Events

An early childhood music program for children 5 and under.  Bring your little ones and the whole family for fun and spend music time together!  This program will take place on the first and third Saturday of every month. 

Celebrate the season at Albany's Christmas in the Village, and decorate holiday ornaments - one to put on the Albany community tree and one to take home. This program will take place at the Library. 

All materials will be provided.

Gear up with skills and knowledge to drive yourself through some tough situations. In this 6-week course for teens/tweens led by a NAMI Athens Community Health Worker, we'll talk together about topics related to mental health.

Join us from 1-3 pm on Tuesdays for handwork and pleasant conversation. Bring a project to work on: embroidery, knitting, crochet, quilting, mending - whatever you like to do!

Get ready to sprinkle some holiday magic at our Christmas Cookie Decorating event — a sweet and festive activity for kids and families of all ages!

Join us every Wednesday for an interactive storytime for babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and grade school children.

Weekly activities include themed sensory bins, crafts, reading, games, and more. 

Glitter, gems, and glue, oh my! Join us as we "flip" up-cycled jar lids into little decorative dioramas. Let your creativity shine and take home a unique decoration for gifting, hanging, or treasuring in the trinket hoard.

This program is part 2 for those patrons who participated in the November DIY 3D models program. Come by the library to paint those finishing touches on the model you designed.

Our ongoing program series Kids' Craft Corner aims to help kids of all ages express themselves through a variety of organized crafts. Some of our crafts do get a bit messy, but not to worry, we will supply aprons to protect clothing.

Learn how to finally use up those old broken crayons hanging around your house, and have some fun with a multi-generational crowd! All supplies provided while they last. 

Join Millennial Librarian Sara for the final event of her 1990s retro craft series! This program will feature beading crafts such as beaded lizards, Perler beads, and more. 

Come each Friday to hang out with fellow homeschool friends and to join in on librarian-led, interactive activities for grade-school kids and teens. 

Stop by after school to help decorate gingerbread houses that we'll leave on display to encourage even more winter holiday spirit! 

Note: While we'll also enjoy treats together, we won't be eating our village.

Families with young children enjoy a variety of stories, songs, rhymes and movement activities while building early literacy skills.
