Listen to live music each Friday at Noon at Central Library.
This week Two Families Band takes the stage in Central Library's Hamilton Room. Two Families Band delivers original compositions in classical, ethnic, Celtic and modern styles, along with Ukrainian original and folk songs, and golden hits in blues, jazz, and rock and roll. Valentyn Zadoianov plays guitar, harmonica and vocals, Iryna Samarina plays flute and vocals, Julia Kim plays domra, while Oleg Apostolov plays double bass and bass guitar.
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.
