Support the Hudson Library Levy
The Hudson Library is the cornerstone of Hudson’s intellectual and social life. Your support of this levy ensures that the Hudson Library remains a five-star resource for every generation.
From "Mother Goose" storytimes to intensive literacy kits, the Hudson Library provides the foundational tools Hudson’s children need to succeed in school and beyond.
Whether it’s high-speed internet access, 3D printing in the archives, or quiet study spaces for entrepreneurs, the Hudson Library fuels Hudson’s local economy.
The Hudson Library serves as Hudson’s "living room” as a safe, free, and welcoming space for seniors to connect, students to collaborate, and families to grow.
The Reality of a "No" Vote
This levy is not about expansion; it is about preservation. There is no "Plan B" or backup reserve. If the levy fails, the library will be forced to implement immediate and significant service reductions.
- Darker Windows: Significant reductions in operating hours, making it harder for working parents and students to visit.
- Empty Calendars: A sharp decrease in the children’s programming and author events that Hudson residents love.
- Smaller Collections: Drastic cuts to the purchase of new books, e-books, and digital databases.
- Reduced Support: Fewer staff members available to assist seniors with technology or help job seekers navigate their next career move.
An Investment in Hudson’s Future
Every dollar matters. That is why the Library has spent years "tightening its belt" by securing private grants, fostering regional partnerships, and cross-training staff to maximize every cent of public funding.
The levy will cost $6.50 a month or $78 per year for a homeowner of a $100,000 home.
For the cost of one streaming service subscription or a monthly latte, you ensure Hudson remains a premier community with a top-tier library system.
