A movie to celebrate Charlie Chaplin's first full talkie, and the last film for his Little Tramp character.
Charlie Chaplin was a legendary maker of silent film comedies, and when it became possible to make sound films in the late 1920s, he believed it was a fad, and once it passed, everyone would go back to making silent films again. The filmmaker who resisted the use of sound was a creative master. The Great Dictator is a must for Chaplin fans, comedy fans, history buffs and connoisseurs of fine filmmaking.

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.
