The Albany County Library will hold a construction and renovation kickoff event on Saturday, October 5, according to a news release.

The event will be held in the library's large meeting room.

Major Renovation Coming To The Library

According to the release:

''Starting in late October, ACPL will begin a two-year infrastructure project to update two public gathering spaces and create a family Activity Center. The public library’s large meeting room and conference room are being completely renovated to increase room flexibility for different types of programs and events. The project will include adding a public-use kitchenette and updating the public restrooms. On the east side of the ACPL building, construction will include enclosing an exterior patio to add space to the library’s children’s area. This space will be an activity center for youth programs and activities.''

According to the release special activities, refreshments and a community art project will be featured. UW basketball players will be on hand from 1 p.m. until 2 p.m. for photos.
