Share, collaborate and discuss with others who share an interest in zines. Bring your writing materials and explore the art of creating a self-published magaZINE. Zines, pronounced zeens, often explore underrepresented voices and personal experiences, but can be about any topic. They are created using cut and paste collage techniques, then photocopied for distribution. Produced in partnership with and led by Hamilton Zineposium.
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.
