If you are interested in reading and discussing great books, there is a book club near you.
Books@One is a non-fiction book club meets the second Tuesday of the month at the Central Library (no sessions July & August). New members welcome. The April book title is Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China byJung Chang.
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.
