Philip Kikuru told commissioners the Hudson Library Foundation has raised $400k–$450k for exterior improvements and is seeking $350,000 from county/town to fund a roughly $910,000 plan to renovate interiors, update furniture and add study spaces.

The full story

Philip Kikuru, president of the Hudson Library Foundation, presented the foundation’s capital plan and asked Macon County to include $350,000 in the budget for interior renovations. He said the foundation has already raised between $400,000 and $450,000 in private donations to complete outside improvements and that the library — built in 1984 and identified as the second‑oldest public library in the state (as referenced in the presentation) — serves a large community including day visitors and program participants.
