Michelle Hudson

Michelle Hudson is the library manager at the Kiama Public Library in Australia. She is currently newsworthy due to the recent return of a book, "Antiquities of Athens," which was an estimated 150 years overdue. The book was discovered behind a wall during a home renovation, found bricked into a sealed fireplace within a tea crate. This remarkable find represents the oldest overdue item the library has ever received. Hudson was involved in the process of accepting the book back into the library's collection. The event has garnered significant attention, highlighting the long-lost history associated with library items and the unexpected ways they can resurface after extended periods.
