Meet the Living Rock Arts of August youth at a reception in celebration of their work.
Living Rock hosts the 21st Annual Arts of August Youth Showcase. This is a free city-wide youth initiative, as well as a great opportunity for youth ages 13-25, to showcase their talents and express themselves through music, poems, paintings and photography. This initiative was developed out of a Living Rock Anti-Racism Initiative in 2003 to provide action and a voice for youth.

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.
