Hudson library card holders--we hope that's you!-- can borrow books from any one of the 14-member southern New Hampshire libraries. You may go to one of the other locations and check out an item with your Hudson card. Of course, we are still happy to have it brought here through Interlibrary Loan.

We also have access to a new eBook source, CloudLibrary. You can download the app onto your mobile device or read right in your browser.
Brainfuse HelpNow offers personalized homework help in core subjects (math, reading, writing, science and social studies) including SAT preparation. The Adult Learning Center is included in the HelpNow suite.
