About this event

The Woman’s Club of Albany and the Book House of Stuyvesant Plaza will host the 19th annual “Good Books for Good Works” from 4 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, December 5, at the Book House in Stuyvesant Plaza.  The event supports Capital Region urban and rural school libraries by raising funds for new books. A percentage of sales during the evening will be donated to the library of the North Albany Middle School of the City School District of Albany. The school serves over 400 students in grades 6-8.

The event begins an hour earlier than in previous years, at 4 p.m. The highlight of the evening begins at 5:30 p.m. when Book House staff members discuss their suggestions for both children’s and adults’ books. Lively and insightful, the staff presentations feature all genres for all ages.

The project is one of many community-oriented programs sponsored by The Woman’s Club of Albany, a philanthropic and civic organization founded in 1910. “We are extraordinarily fortunate to have a long-standing partnership with a business owner like Susan Novotny and the Book House of Stuyvesant Plaza to help us support literacy in area schools, a major goal shared by the Woman’s Club and the Book House,” noted Paula Hennessy, Woman’s Club president.  For more information about the organization, visit womansclubofalbany.com.
