Explore the role of storytelling in shaping inclusive communities and promoting anti-racism.
This forum brings together new and emerging authors to explore the role of storytelling in shaping inclusive communities and promoting anti-racism. Through readings, moderated discussion and audience engagement, authors will reflect on the barriers they've faced, the importance of representation and the transformative power of writing from lived experience.

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.
