Hudson Library

Hudson Library – founded 142 years ago and long central to Highlands life – is embarking on a major renovation to preserve its legacy and create a more welcoming, modern space for generations to come.

From hands‑on science to tech help, storytime, games, and music, the Highlands-Cashiers two libraries offer a full month of learning, play, and community connection.

In March, the Plateau’s libraries lean into hands‑on learning and steady community rhythms, offering spaces where curiosity leads
the way.

On the Plateau, the Hudson Library in Highlands and the Albert Carlton-Cashiers Community Library both offer cozy spaces for stories, learning, and connection.

From finger knitting to guinea pigs and pixelated blooms, Plateau libraries offer cozy, creative escapes all season long.

The Hudson Library is raising $1.5 million to expand and modernize its space for a stronger community future.

November on the Plateau is a time for gratitude and gathering, with the Albert Carlton-Cashiers Community Library and Hudson Library offering creative workshops and community programs that celebrate connection and learning for all ages.

Hudson Library welcomes new librarian Scott McKendree, whose background in education and public service brings fresh energy. Focused on inclusivity and connection, he’s exploring new programming and ways to serve Highlands’ Spanish-speaking residents, while continuing popular events like storytime, tech help, author talks, and community coffee.

As fall sweeps across the Plateau, Highlands and Cashiers libraries match the season’s energy with programs that inspire, connect, and create.
