The Hudson Area Library Foundation periodically hosts events to help raise funds, say thank you, or promote awareness. Since COVID our events have slowed a bit, but we hope to see everyone in the near future for more fun!

Our Past Events


2022-2024 Chamber Expo

You might have noticed the HALF team at the Hudson Chamber Expo! Our table had information about the funding issues, ways to give, a signup for those interested in our Read-a-thon, AND hourly drawings for some of our past reading buddy stuffed animals. The booth was quite a hit with some of our younger readers!


Read-a-thon

To help support the Library, we had a short trial Read-a-thon during the summer of 2020 and 2021. The Read-a-thon was open to all ages. Each year had a different grouping of prizes, but in both years readers received a stuffed animal.

This event offered a fun opportunity for families to help impact the Library and be entered for a larger prize.


The Gatsby Gala

We marked our 30th Anniversary in 2019 and decided to celebrate with a live jazz concert from the amazing Patty Peterson. More than 75 guests attended the 20’s themed event and enjoyed a glass of bubbly, amazing food, and some fantastic raffle items.


Hogwarts After Hours

In 2018 and 2019 we hosted a magical event for those who love all things Harry Potter. The event offered experiences Potter enthusiasts would appreciate including a themed menu, challenge, activities, and a trip through Diagon Alley.
