A few things that just make sense at the Albert Lea Public Library. 🤌📚

10/21/2026

Buy a book = Supporting the Friends of the Albert Lea Public Library = Supporting your library. 📚

The Fountain Lake Bookstore, located on the first floor of City Hall, is run by the Friends of the Albert Lea Public Library, and every purchase helps raise funds that go back to us for all the extras that aren't covered in our regular budget.

So yes, you can justify buying another book. It’s for a good cause. 😉

It’s National Friends of the Library Week, and we’re saying thank you for being a friend! 💙📚

Our Friends of the Albert Lea Public Library do so much behind the scenes to help make our library better. Through the Fountain Lake Bookstore, memberships, and book sales, they raise funds that help provide programs, equipment, and supplies that aren’t covered by the library’s regular budget.

So whether you’re a longtime Friend, a book sale shopper, a Fountain Lake Bookstore regular, or someone who simply loves the library, thank you for being a friend!

We couldn’t do it without you. 💛
