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 area 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.

Spooky Camp is going to be so much fun! We have messy projects and nice weather outings lined up, so please make sure that your child brings play clothes that you won't mind if they get stained to aim to keep their costumes in good condition. Our art smocks and shirts may allow paint through on the edges or to soak through.
Please make sure to email your registration forms to [email protected] to save your spot, and to make it easy on staff to keep track of registrations while they are working and not on their personal time or on leave.
We are still seeking funds to be able to run our last camp of the year! Please send eTransfer donations to [email protected] or donate cash in person.

Assent Vote Q&A: What We Heard, What It Means

The proposed Multi Use Gathering Centre is designed as a flexible community facility. It may accommodate meetings, events, programs, recreation, weddings, funerals, and emergency use, depending on future planning.

Concept drawings and layout options were shared at the Open House to help residents understand the general idea of the facility. Final design details would be developed only if borrowing is authorized.

We have had multiple bat sightings here at the library in the past few days, so just a reminder that all bat species are protected in British Columbia under the Wildlife Act. This means that all species should not be harmed or killed, and like all animals should be treated with respect. If you do see a bat, please do your best not to disturb it with bright lights or loud noises. If you are able, the best thing to do is leave them alone! If you do need to remove a bat from in or around your home, please look up the proper protocol and be mindful of bat-carried diseases, such as rabies.

Bats are an important part of our ecosystem so please do your part in caring for these vital species, and use any bat sightings as an opportunity to learn more about them! 🦇
