The Friends and Foundation of the Albany Public Library (FFAPL) is proud to announce the return of our annual Literary Legends event on Saturday, October 19, 2024 at Cafe Madison in Albany, NY.  

Thanks to the generosity of so many local businesses, we raised over $4,000 through our Silent Auction last year. With the generosity and participation of businesses like yours, we are hoping to raise even more this year! If you believe in the power of libraries and recognize the vital role that APL’s seven branches serve in our communities, then we hope to have your support.

Donations

Donations can take the form of gift certificates, tickets, memberships, services, or physical items. We also like to offer unique experiences or skill-based items, such as cooking classes, lessons, and private tours.

 
Benefit

Each donated item will be featured on our online bidding site, which will be available not only to event attendees but to the general public in the days leading up to the event. FFAPL has a large network throughout the Capital District, and we would love to share your business with them. All donors will also be thanked on our social media accounts and in the event program.

 
Impact

Proceeds from the Silent Auction will provide critical financial support for APL to deliver education, literacy, career development, cultural enrichment, and lifelong learning.
