The Hudson Area Library is in partnership with the city of Hudson, village of North Hudson, and the townships of Hudson and St. Joseph.

We offer a variety of books, magazines, newspapers, DVDs, recorded books, children's story time and other programs, a Friends group and wireless internet access. Additional materials are easily available through the MORE online catalog which allows you to search for, reserve, and renew library items from any computer connected to the Internet.

Our Hudson Area Library provides a community gathering place where knowledge flows freely, nurturing lifelong learning.

"A Journey Into Genealogy" Library Program

The Hudson Area Library (in celebration with Hudson’s Annual Yellowstone Trail Heritage Day) will be hosting a free workshop on exploring genealogy. Presented by Helen Stoltz-Wood; author of “From Denmark to Wisconsin, One Family—Two Ships, 1641-2011” (recipient of the 2012, Genealogy—Family Book Award of Merit.)

The fundamentals of starting a family research project will be covered, including: where to look for information using print and online resources, as well as, how to organize census information and vital records.

A JOURNEY INTO GENEALOGY will be held on Saturday, June 1 from 10:30 - 11:30 am. This program is  sponsored by the Hudson Area Joint Library and the St. Croix County Historical Society.

If you would like to participate, please pre-register by phone (715-386-3101) or visit the Library’s help desk to sign-up; this workshop is limited to the first 40 people that register.

Library Elf

This is a free service to help you manage your library checkouts and holds (libraryelf.org).

• Avoid overdues with email alerts or text messages

• Manage multiple library cards

• Track books, DVDs, CDs, etc.  

Hudson library cards need to be updated with current contact information every year, and are usually due for updating on your birthday. Library Elf will stop sending reminders if your card needs updating. Once your library card is updated, you will need to login to your Library Elf account and re-activate your card.

Hudson Library Digital Archive

On Saturday, November 3, 2012 the Hudson Area Library held a Scan Day. With the assistance of library staff, the ResCarta Foundation, and equipment provided by Northern Micrographics and a Pepsi Refresh grant, the community celebrated by bringing over photographs and historic artifacts to be digitized.
