Ebooks, Netflix, and Library Building Projects (Part 114, Albany Branch, Hartford Public Library)

Hartford Public Library Opens New Albany Avenue Branch. (Hartford Courant, 10/18/2011)

Excerpt: The new library — more than twice the size of the soon-to-be-demolished old branch next door — features a brick and metal exterior and fresh landscaping. Inside, the stacks are almost filled with the books, magazines, CDs and DVDs moved over from the old branch when it closed Oct. 1.

Branch Manager Corey Fleming said Monday that regular visitors won't see an immediate difference in the available materials, but they will notice how much more space there is, including a dedicated children's section, a larger study area, more computers and a separate community room
