A writing group facilitated by the 2025-26 Writer-in-Residence, Saumiya Balasubramaniam.
This workshop from Writer-in-Residence Saumiya Balasubramaniam explores the art of storytelling through three essential elements: mastering point of view to maintain authenticity, building rich characters using emotion, body language, and dialogue, and crafting speech that reflects each character’s unique background, mindset, and circumstances. You'll learn how consistency in voice, nuanced characterization, and realistic dialogue can bring your writing to life.
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.
