]]> 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.
