Albion District Library
Update below. Sincere apologies for any confusion the previous language may have caused.
______________________________
Albion District Library will close at 5:00pm today (Tuesday, August 25) due to the discovery of water damage and potential mold growth late last week. We will remain closed until both are fully investigated and addressed by licensed specialists. More information will be shared when the discovery phase is completed and remediation timelines are available.
Patrons are encouraged to visit and check out items before 5:00pm today, and to hold all returns until further notice. Library card expiration dates and item due dates have been extended until 10/15/2020. Curbside service will not be offered during this closure.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but the health and safety of our staff and patrons, and the well-being of the library facility itself, are our highest priorities.

Hello,
I'm wondering if any one in this group might know of someone who has an old Albion High School class ring from the years 1965 to 1975, meant for a male. I'm working on a film in Chicago and this ring would be a prop! Thank you for helping.
