About the branch
The Albany Branch Library endeavors daily to maintain its role as one of Albany Avenue’s most vital resources. Library service in Hartford’s North End began in 1909, when a branch library was first established inside the Northwest School. It then moved to rented quarters at 1239 Albany Avenue. The branch’s present location at 1250 Albany Avenue opened in February 1950 in a building designed by H. Sage Goodwin. In 2011 a new 8,000 square foot facility on the corner of Albany and Blue Hills Avenues replaced the sixty-one-year-old structure.
