Best-selling author Eva Stachniak kicks-off our annual unveiling of the one book every Hamiltonian should read in 2019.
The Hamilton Reads 2019 book title will be revealed at our kick-off event on Thursday June 6 at Central Library.
The event, An Evening for Book Lovers, launches the one book every Hamiltonian should read, and author Eva Stachniak will read from her latest book The Chosen Maiden.
Stachniak is the best-selling author of The Winter Palace, Empress of the Night, Necessary Lies, and Garden of Venus.
To cap off our annual literary celebration, we are giving away a big prize of books at the end of the evening. Tickets go on sale soon and are $10.
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.
