Join us to celebrate the work created by participants in the digital storytelling program, Writing Though Time.
Drawing inspiration from the Hamilton Public Library Archives, the writers capture the rich history of Hamilton and its people. This collaboration with McMaster University features readings of stories and poems written by a talented community of writers. All are welcome to listen to the stories shared, look through the Writing Through Time photobooks.

The first Hamilton Public Library building opened on September 16, 1890 by the Earl and Countess of Aberdeen on the north side of Main Street West. In 1913, a new main library opened. This building was replaced in 1980 by Central Library, at the current location on York Boulevard.
In 2010, Central Library re-opened after approximately 18 months of renovations. Central Library opened with a newly revitalized first floor, which includes a Community Living Room that takes advantage of natural light. The Ontario Library Association honoured Central in 2012 with an Architectural and Design Transformation award.
