Attend a live reading and conversation with Six Nations' author Dawn Hill, who discusses their new book, Memory Keeper.
Bring your questions to ask after the 45-minute conversation. Before the event, you can borrow the book from the HPL catalogue.
Memory Keeper is a collection of autobiographical anecdotes and stories, comedic or horrific, from the author's life living on the Six Nations Reservation. These stories helped her circumnavigate constructively the residual pain and dysfunction that is the legacy of the Residential School system. As a registered social worker and community health worker, Dawn Cheryl Hill offers a workbook companion with the published collection as a healing resource for readers.
Presented in partnership with the City of Hamilton's Indigenous Relations Office.

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.
