Dear RML Patrons,
After 18 years as Adult Services Librarian at the Hills Memorial Library and Rodgers Memorial Library, I will be retiring on May 20th. It has been a pleasure to serve the people of Hudson helping with your information needs, recommending books, and planning programs. I will continue to partake in some of the exciting programs the library has to offer and hope to see many of you there.
Thank you for eighteen wonderful years!
Amy Friedman

Recent Troubles with eBooks?
|
|
Since we've switched over to our new system as part of GMILCS, some readers may have experienced issues accessing eBooks. If this is you, here's a few things to keep in mind:
-
Support for the old Overdrive app has stopped. Overdrive offers an app called Libby you can download.
-
We also have access to a new online library called cloudLibrary. It's smaller than Libby but worth checking out.
- A short while ago, all PINs were reset to the last four digits of the phone number listed on your account. If you are not sure of this number, call us at 603-886-6030.
