The new sign for the Hudson Library has been installed and is an eye-catching beauty. It was modeled after the painting by Rosemary Stiefel (read below).
New Logo for Library
From the Artist: In developing the design for the new logo for the Hudson Library Inc., of Highlands, N.C., I wanted to emphasize the fact that the library was founded in 1884, making it one of the oldest libraries in the state. The 1870's ushered in the "Golden Age" of book cover art which lasted more than 50 years. The visual arts and the literary arts have had a mutually beneficial relationship for centuries and in the late 1800's publishers commissioned contemporary painters, architects, and stain glass designers to create covers that would entice the bookstore browser to stop and take note. The covers were made of either toiled leather or painted cloth. — Rosemary Clark Stiefel
The amazing dragon puzzle table, completely handmade by architect Paul Schmitt, is now installed in the children's room. Three children were winners in the "Name The Dragon" contest: Timmy Bronaugh, Alexsis Healey, and Leela Rue Chrestman. All three children submitted the same name "Spike", which was chosen by our judges. Each child receives a year's subscription to a childrens magazine.

In addition to Rosemary Stiefel's beautiful new painting (described above), our walls are graced with artwork that has been in storage and pieces from the former permanent collection as provided by the Bascom. These last pieces will be rotated every six months.
