In celebration of International Day for Persons with Disabilities, Hamilton Reads author Claire Tacon moderates a panel discussion with three local artists about their various creative projects. Panelists Christa Couture (musician and non-fiction writer), Dorothy Ellen Palmer (novelist and memoirist), and Rasiqra Revulva (poet and musician) will discuss their work, writing process and how their intersectional identities inform their art and activism.

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.
