Request your copy of Kate Morton’s The Clockmaker’s Daughter at the desk and join us for a great discussion Thursday, March 18th at 7pm.

About our March selection: “Told by multiple voices across time, this is an intricately layered, richly atmospheric novel about art and passion, forgiveness and loss, that shows us that sometimes the way forward is through the past.”

Are you willing to take a chance on literary love? Go on a blind date with a book! All through February you can check out a blind date book when you come to the library (or have us bring one out to you using curbside service). Take your date home and unwrap it. Will it be true love, or will you dump your date after the first chapter? Make sure you rate your date when you’re through!

The library is dedicated to preserving all areas of Hudson History through the work that goes on in the Hudson History Room. We are living through unprecedented and historic times right now. The History Room wants to know about the experiences of Hudson residents so that we can record and pass on our shared story to future generations of Hudson residents. Take a few minutes to fill out this questionnaire and tell us about your experiences with COVID-19. Feel free to share the link with your friends, neighbors, and family so we can get as many responses as possible.

Eventually, we would like to create a collection of responses and artifacts from this time in the History Room so the more responses we get, the more complete the collection will be! Thank you for your help.
