Director’s Message The Hudson Library reflects the vibrant,
complex and constantly evolving
community we serve. In response to
growing expectations and increased
customer usage, in 2018 the Library
initiated a series of new services,
diversified and expanded its collections,
provided thought-provoking and culturally
enriching programming and constructed
dynamic new physical spaces. We
accomplished all this despite the challenge
of a major facility emergency.
And to top off this year’s achievements,
we were selected yet again as a Five Star
Library, climbing even higher in the
rankings.
In the coming year we will continue to
build upon our vision for the future,
embarking on exciting new initiatives
tailored to meet Hudson’s growing needs.
