A cross between a comic festival and a literary event, Write Like is the ultimate literary-fan experience.
Stories are imbued with the magic to create, transform and connect us to worlds beyond our own. This year, the two-day festival (Feb 13-14) explores folklore, myth and fantasy. Experiment with personal folklore, cultural mythologies and practice the art of writing fantasy stories with the guidance of artists such as Terese Mason Pierre, Emily Urquhart and many others. Presented by Hamilton Verse.
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.
