Bring a bag lunch if you wish and share your reading experiences with other book lovers. Pick up your free copy of BookPage , a monthly magazine full of news about new books and authors, at Main or Lansingburgh. Remember, you can walk in, call in, or log in to reserve your copy of popular titles or request books from other Rensselaer and Albany County public libraries. Books on computers, antiques, travel, health, and financial and retirement planning were added to the collection through Seniors Connect , a project of the Upper Hudson Library System, supported in part by Federal Library Services and Technology Act funds awarded to the New York State Library by the Federal Institute of Museum and Library Services. They are useful for programming, especially for senior citizens and classes studying American life 40-75 years ago.
