Hamilton Public Library (HPL) has never been as busy and as challenged in trying to operate in a COVID-19 world. Paul Takala, HPL CEO, and his staff are clearly up to the challenge. Knowing the public are dying (poor choice of words I know) to keep active and entertained during the current "Lockdown", HPL continues with a significant online presence and options for pick up of books and drop off. Some other services such as scanning and copying are still available but check the HPL website for the latest offerings.
The library has a great "Hold System" so you can search for desired topics and get on the list for hard copy and electronic versions. When its your turn, you will get an automated phone message or email notifying you. They used to say that libraries would be a thing of the past in this growing electronic world but that truly has never come to pass. We appreciate the leadership shown by Paul and his staff and their fine efforts to serve the Hamilton community.
