The Hamilton Literary Awards are a highlight for bookworms, but this year's winners announcement comes with a twist! The library branches are not just celebrating the literary achievements; they're also gearing up for the festive season.
Holiday Closure Notice:
All library branches, including those with extended access, will be closed on December 25 and 26, 2025, for Christmas and Boxing Day. But wait, there's more! The doors will remain shut on Sunday, December 28, and Thursday, January 1, 2026, for New Year's Day. And this is where it gets interesting—even the bookmobile stops will be affected by these closures.
And that's not all. Study halls, a haven for students and researchers, will take a holiday break, pausing from December 19, 2025, to January 5, 2026. So, plan your study sessions accordingly, folks!
Technical Glitch:
A heads-up for all members—the main telephone line, 905-546-3200, encountered technical issues on December 8, 2025. But fear not! You can still reach the staff via an alternative number (289-779-7588), email, or online chat. They're working diligently to fix the problem.
Late Fees and Library Etiquette:
Here's a friendly reminder to all borrowers: Return your overdue library items (due on October 1, 2025, or later) within 28 days to avoid replacement fees. But the good news is, these fees are reversible! Simply bring back your items, and the library will waive the charges.
Stay tuned for more updates, and happy holidays!
