Hamilton Public Library supports Hamilton artists, artisans and organizations by providing exhibition space.
The Art of Healing is an art installation based on the illustrations and poetry from Cher Obediah's book Shame to Shine.
Images and words are brought to life on 12-16x20 canvases. The works take visitors on an inspiring journey from the cycle of domestic violence to art, representing love and inner peace.
The display is non-graphic and viewer friendly for all ages.

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.
