Drop in and work on your knitting project, start something new, or learn to knit for the first time.
On June 10, knitters around the world gather to celebrate the craft by participating in Worldwide Knit In Public Day. Drop in to the library to meet fellow knitters and sit and knit. Participants can work on an existing project, start something new, or learn to knit for the first time.

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.
