Parents' Shel f Contains a broad array of helpful books on parenting, home schooling, child development, social problems, and home-based caregiver materials to enable children and their families to thrive in a changing world. The Library views itself as a key element in educating Albany citizens, of all ages. The Children's Room staff and our collections work together to further this educational goal. We offer help with homework and research and with leisure and assigned reading. We gather special collections on request for teachers and students as well as for caregivers and families.
Older children can find assistance in the Adult Reference Area and on the Internet.
