Join us for a free screening and discussion of Children of Heaven, which follows young Ali who accidentally loses his sister Zahra's only pair of shoes. To avoid upsetting their struggling parents, the two siblings embark on a touching scheme to share Ali's worn sneakers, running between schools and classes in a tale of innocence, sacrifice and the unbreakable bond between a brother and sister.
Following the film, stay for the discussion.

Central Library
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.
