The New York State Library and New York State Archives will institute
new Saturday hours beginning on October 16th.  Saturday hours of
operation at the two facilities, located on the 7th and 11th floor of
the Cultural Education Center (CEC) at the Empire State Plaza in Albany,
will be from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.  Free public parking will be available
in the Madison Avenue parking lots adjacent to the CEC.  Directions and
parking information is available on the New York State Museum website at
http://www.nysm.nysed.gov/information/general/muswhere.html. 

This new policy for expanded access does not affect the hours of the
New York State Museum, which is open from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. seven days
a week, except Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day. 
However if a major holiday (e.g. July 4th, Memorial Day, Veteran’s
Day) falls directly on a Saturday, the Library and Archives will not be
open (checking their websites is advised for such holidays).  

The New York State Library ( http://www.nysl.nysed.gov/ ) has served
New Yorkers, New York State government and researchers from throughout
the United States for more than 190 years.  It is the largest state
library in the nation and the only state library to qualify for
membership in the Association of Research Libraries.  The Library’s
research collection of more than 20 million items includes major
holdings in law, medicine, the social sciences, education, American and
New York State history and culture, the pure sciences and technology.  

The New York State Archives (www.archives.nysed.gov)  identifies,
preserves, and makes available more than 200 million records of colonial
and state government dating back to 1630 that have enduring value to the
public and private institutions and to all the people of the Empire
State and the nation.
