Hudson Public Library

The Hudson Public Library has served the residents of Hudson and the surrounding area since 1867. By 1903 the library had outgrown its location in the town hall and needed a larger space. In response to this growing need, Grace Whittemore, the librarian, corresponded with Andrew Carnegie and requested funds for a new building. Mr. Carnegie donated $12,500 to the town to build a new library building. The current building at Wood Square was opened to the public in November 1905.

In 1929 a second floor was added to the building. This space is the current reading room, housing magazines and newspapers, the Tavares Meeting Room, and the library’s tech service offices.
