About The RED Bookshelf
The RED Bookshelf is a non-profit community literacy program that provides free children’s books on bright red bookshelves throughout Albany to ensure that all children have access to the benefits of book ownership, regardless of income level. UAlbany staff and students volunteer on campus to clean and repair donated children’s books for future distribution.
