HUDSON AREA LIBRARY

The Library was founded in 1959 and is located in a historic, federal style building that was built in 1818.

The mission of the Hudson Area Association Library is to enrich the quality of life in the chartered service area by providing educational, recreational, aesthetic, cultural and informational programs, services, and materials to all our citizens regardless of age, gender, race, religion, or socioeconomic status.

In 1957, the organization, then called the Children's Home of Columbia County, suspended custodial care of children, and the orphanage building and grounds were given to the Board of Education of the Public School System of Hudson with the stipulation that a library be developed in the building. In 1959, 400 State Street became the home of the Hudson Area Library.
