Writer-in-Residence Writing Circle: This Must Be the Place
A Generative Writing Workshop
Thursday, October 15
6:00pm - 7:30pm
Central Library
Central - Wentworth RoomPlace-based writing allows us to map our personal geographies, from our present surroundings to childhood homes, to dreamlike mythical places that exist only in the imagination.
Join 2026-27 Writer-in-Residence Lisa Richter through guided multi-genre writing exercises focusing on writing about both the physical and emotional worlds we inhabit. Perfect for beginners and also for more experienced poets and writers who might be stuck in their current projects and looking for new pathways to inspiration. Our goal is to have fun and take risks in a supportive, nurturing environment and walk away with new drafts for future development.
All levels of writing experience are welcome. Bring a notebook, your favourite pen, and a sense of adventure!
Presented in partnership with McMaster University's Department of English & Cultural Studies and McMaster Libraries.

Central Library
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.
