A celebration of the launch of anthologies written by young Hamilton authors.
Echoes of Humanity is an Afro-fiction anthology written by Ariana, Inéz, Nyroby, Preye and Rachel. It explores what it means to be alive today. Join Tasneem, Settia, Nora, Lennex and Alaa in the Shadow of the Mountain as they reimagine Hamilton through the lens of gothic horror. The showcase includes readings, a moderated artist panel featuring the writers of both collections and a book signing.

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.
