Future census
topic of meeting

Susan Hack, a 24-year employee of the Federal Census Bureau, will speak to the Hudson Genealogy Study Group at 9:30 a.m. May 10 in the Flood Family Meeting Room of the Hudson Library and Historical Society.

Shipwrecks discussed

Authors Georgann and Mike Wachter will describe their adventures diving and investigating the "Shipwrecks of Lake Erie" May 21 at 7 p.m. at the Hudson Library and Historical Society.

What started as a hobby for this husband and wife diving team has evolved into a full-time job investigating the myths and realities behind the thousands of shipwrecks scattered all over the Great Lakes.

The Wachters, who have been diving all over the world, say the best preserved shipwrecks can be found in the fresh waters of the Great Lakes.

They have written five books on the subject and numerous magazine articles.

This program is free and no registration is required. For more information call the reference department at 330-653-6658, ext. 1010 or visit www.hudsonlibrary.org.

Library services
offered to homebound

The librarians will choose books and items based on the participants' interests and deliver the items once a month to a homebound resident, whether that person is living at home or in a retirement community.

Homebound residents may receive the full range of materials that are available in the library such as books-on-tape, CDs, videos, magazines and books.
