Learn how to become a Big Sister or Big Brother and change a child's life.
Many children and youth in our community struggle with societal barriers and face adversities in their lives. With the support of a mentor, these risks can be reduced or even avoided and youth can reach their full potential. Meet with a Big Brother/Big Sister representative to talk about becoming involved.
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.
