In celebration of Earth Day, The Hudson Library and Historical Society in partnership with the city of Hudson will be presenting an Earth Day event on Saturday April 19^th from 2pm to 4pm.

“Earth Day is a great way to promote education and restore and protect our community’s environment,” said Amy Harmon, Reference & Archives Librarian. “Earth Day activities teach people how small actions can add up to a big difference in their communities.”
