Mental health care does not only happen between doctors and patients behind closed clinic doors. Listen to a community engaged research team as they share how community care and peer support unfold in everyday city spaces, like public libraries. Learn about how anthropologists partner with community agencies to conduct research that has real world impacts for people in need in urban places. We share stories of support happening in Hamilton to challenge traditional ideas of who counts as an expert of crisis management and care. Presented in partnership with McMaster University Department of Anthropology.

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.
