Family Storytime: Join us for a weekly storytime for children up to age 5. We'll read picture books, sing fun songs, and move with the music! Thursdays at 10:40 AM at Hudson Library.
Every Thursday at 3:30, kids can enjoy a variety of fun and educational activities at the library! Kids Zone programs are free and open to the public. Programs are designed with kids in grades K-5 in mind.
On the first and second Thursdays, and any time there’s a fifth Thursday, Hudson Librarian Carlyn Morenus presents a variety of STEM programs, featuring robots, 3D pens, building sets, and other fun activities where the kids can really get hands-on with science and technology.
The third Thursday each month is Lego Club. Kids get to build their own creations with Legos and Duplos, which are put on display in the library until the following Lego Club program.
The fourth Thursday of each month is Kids Zone with The Bascom. Each program features The Bascom’s Artist-Educator Caryn Raming with a different illustrated children’s book, paired with an exciting art project.
Please join us for a Books & Bites event featuring author Carolyn Curry with her newly-released historical novel, Trudy's Awakening.
Trudy's Awakening is a historical novel set in the latter half of nineteenth-century Georgia that tells the story of three women whose lives were intermingled as they worked to overcome society's barriers to their progress and success.
Carolyn Curry uses her own research from the award-winning biography, Suffer and Grow Strong: The Life of Ella Gertrude Clanton Thomas, 1834–1907, to imagine the way these women's different paths crossed in their fight for freedom, civil rights, and successful careers. As their lives intersect, they form close bonds and become friends. While their talents are unique, they share a common experience: they are survivors determined to make life better for themselves and other women.
Readers will encounter the history of Atlanta and Georgia in the difficult years after the Civil War and learn how women coped and succeeded in that changing world. 'More than anything,' Curry says, 'I want women to know that when bad things happen, and they always do, they can find a way through to a better place with their love and commitment to one another.'
