The 6th Annual Mid-Hudson Library System Battle of the Books is here! And Red Hook Public Library is a part of this exciting event! This past spring we recruited 6-9th graders to join our team, read great books and participate in local battles to get ready for the main event happening on Saturday, September 11th at the Hudson Jr. High School in Hudson beginning at 9:00am! Thank you to Clear Channel Radio of the Hudson Valley for creating this public service announcement.
