Thanks to the National Endowment for the Arts Big Read, HPL will be reading the book "Homegoing" by Yaa Gyasi. The Big Read is a month long celebration, highlighting different themes from the book.
This African Dance workshop...
Masem Enyong leads a fun and energetic class where students get to explore a fusion of traditional West African moves and sounds and contemporary Afro beats. She has been teaching West African dance and creative movement to K-12 students and adults for over a decade. Her unique style of fusing traditional with contemporary Afro beat sounds and moves fills the room with laughter and fun energy.
“You don't just leave my class with fun and sometimes new moves—you leave with a sense of love, hope, peace, culture and unity." -Masem Enyong

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.
