Welcome Back + FRC Library Programs

Hello and happy new year 🎉🥳!

We hope that you are having a pleasant start to 2026. Below you’ll find information for programs going on in the Family Resource Center (FRC) this Spring:

Where is the FRC? 

📍435 Gooding Way (Bldg 123), Apt 456, Albany, CA 94706

What is the FRC?

This is one of three study locations here in the Village. It is intended for use by all our residents and students. You’ll find a children’s and an adult’s library here. Residents are welcome to take any of the books home but we do ask two things: 1. That you are kind to them and 2. That you return them to the library when you’re done. It is also used to host programs and events. Please note that residents can not reserve the space. The FRC is available on a first come first serve basis. 

 

What programs are hosted in the FRC?

Graduate & Family Living (GFL) hosts Village Story Time and Craft Night once a month; Story Time on Saturdays and Craft Night on Wednesdays. GFL also hosts the Village Book Club. Books are provided! The group meets once a month to discuss and be in community.
