Consider running for the Library Board of Trustees in the upcoming spring election! If you live in the Hudson Area Public Library District, you are eligible. You do not need specific experience to become a library trustee, just a willingness to learn and an interest in libraries. Board meetings are on the second Tuesday of each month at 6:30pm.

Candidacy packets are now available. Ask for yours at the library desk or download it here.

We would like to hear from you as the library board plans for the future. Please take a moment and answer a few questions for us…

Thank you, Hudson!

Check out a Roku at your library! The library has seven Roku streaming devices available for checkout, all subscribed to a different service: Acorn TV, Apple TV, Discover Plus, Disney Plus/Hulu, HBO Max, Paramount Plus, and Peacock. You can check which Rokus are available through the online catalog linked at HudsonAreaLibrary.com. Rokus check out for 7 days and are not holdable or renewable. You must be 18 years or older and have a Hudson library card to check out a Roku or mobile hot spot.

You may now explore the holdings in the Hudson History Room online. Much of our collection has been cataloged on the CatalogIt Hub with more being added and expanded all the time. We are still in the process of organizing, but there is much to see.

Hudson Area Public Library patrons can borrow mobile hot spots to take the internet wherever they go.

A hot spot is a portable device that provides Wi-Fi internet access to computers, phones, or tablets. Library hot spots come with unlimited data and can connect up to 10 devices at a time. So, if you want a reliable internet connection for your devices on vacation or don’t have internet at home and have a project to work on, hot spots are a great option. Our hot spots work anywhere in the U.S. where there is T-mobile coverage.
