Hudson's Hope Public Library

Hudson's Hope Public Library The mission of the Hudson’s Hope Library:
"Our library promotes and encourages life long learning." Charlie and Madge Jones formed the first library.

The Hudson’s Hope Library beginnings go back to the early 1900’s. This library was at their home in the Carbon Creek area. The Jones’ collected books that had been discarded by the Vancouver Public Library.
“The Book Guy,” Mr. Howard Overand, the librarian for the Public Library Commission in Dawson Creek, delivered books in the famous bookmobile. His territory took him through the Peace River are

a and up the Alaska Highway. The bookmobile came to an end in 1966. This is when Hudson’s Hope formed a Library Association and incorporated the library. Over the years the library has been housed in many locations, which include private homes, the town museum, the school and even an old Red Cross outpost hospital. Today the library is located at 9905 Dudley Drive, overlooking the mighty Peace River. This has been its home since 1976 and it’s seen two renovations, in 1986 and 1994. The log structure built to house the library is both a tribute to the pioneer days and to the natural surroundings in Hudson’s Hope. The library is a very modern facility and houses a diverse collection of over 14,000 books, reference materials, DVDs, magazines and children’s literature. There are also computers with access to Microsoft Word, Skype and the internet. In September of 2016 the library celebrated 50 years of helping educate people as an official public library.

Our final beading session for the summer will take place this Saturday, August 15th from 12:30-3:30. If you are interested at all in beading please drop by to see what you can make and learn! Drop in for as long as you want and take home the supplies you need to finish your project at home. We hope to see you there tomorrow! :)

Beading again this weekend! Come learn to bead and enjoy some refreshments at the library on Saturday, August 8th from 12:30-3:30. This week we continue learning pe**te style beading and will also be working on personal projects, so if you've already got something on the go, bring it in and enjoy the company of fellow beaders!

We will also be hosting another beading session next weekend (August 15th) so please consider coming by then as well. These two sessions will likely be the last of our beading program as the summer starts to come to an end, so drop by while you still can!

More plants for sale! 🌱😁
I’ve got 20 different kinds of plants this week to bring to the Hudson's Hope Farmers' Market. All plants are for sale by donation, so only pay what you think is reasonable and know that all proceeds go to support our children’s programs at the library, including our annual Summer Reading Club.

We have plants for all kinds of plant owners. Whether you prefer low-maintenance or plants that require a little more care, if you need plants with an herbal use (like mint or aloe), or just want something pretty to look at, we have it all! Come take a look in person at Beattie Park today from 3-6 or at the library anytime we are open!

Due to being short-staffed, please be prepared for limited services and variable open hours at the library this week. We are aiming to keep open hours as usual as possible (except for today, see below), and for all programs to run as usual, but be aware that interlibrary loans will be slower to process and that we might take a little longer to help at the front desk.

We will only be open today until 2:30/2:45, so hurry in today or wait until we are open during regular hours tomorrow!

We thank you for your patience and understanding over the next week.

We are beading again at the library this weekend! We are doing pe**te style beading again, this time specifically learning odd-count pe**te.
