    In the introduction, the author gives a survey on the representations of the Hurwitz zeta-function \(\zeta(s, a)\) obtained by \textit{T.~M.~Apostol} [Introduction to analytic number theory. New York etc.: Springer (1976; Zbl 0335.10001)], \textit{H.~M.~Srivastava } and \textit{J. Choi} [Series associated with the zeta and related functions. Dordrecht: Kluwer Academic Publishers (2001; Zbl 1014.33001)], the author [Ramanujan J. 9, No. 3, 271--288 (2005; Zbl 1088.33014)] and others. Then he obtains a family of closed form representations for \(\zeta(2n+1, {p\over q})\), \(n\in \mathbb{N}\), expressed in terms of values of other functions and numbers. For example, for \(n\in \mathbb{N}\), \[ \zeta\left(2n+1, {1\over 3}\right)={1\over 2}(3^{2n+1}-1)\zeta(2n+1)\pm {(2\pi)^{2n+1}\over 2\sqrt{3}(2n+1)!}G_{2n}, \] where \(G_{2n}\) denotes the Glaisher constants.
