To celebrate Family Literacy Day, January 27, 2025, Hamilton Public Library is running a Bookmark Contest
Design a bookmark illustrating where in the world your Library takes you as you read, watch and listen to all the great items you borrow from HPL. Open to Hamilton residents only.
Three winners are selected from each age category: Birth-age 6, 7-12, 13-18. Each of the nine (9) winning bookmarks will be available one per month at all Hamilton Public Library branches and spotlighted on social media and hpl.ca beginning September 2025.
Head to a branch and grab a bookmark contest form or print it at home. Submit your entry at any Hamilton Public Library Branch or Bookmobile.
The deadline for submissions is March 15, 2025.
Winners will be notified by telephone or email in Spring 2025.
