Commercial Photography and Filming
Hamilton Public Library aims to prevent disruption of Library services and protect the privacy of Library Members and Staff.
Members are welcome to take personal photos (selfies) or videos of themselves, friends, family, or Library spaces, providing the photos/videos do not include other Library users.
All non-personal photography and filming, including news media, are coordinated by the Library’s Communications Department.

HPL works with the Hamilton Film Office on filming permits. This rule does not apply to news media filming or photographing HPL sites.
Staff may provide the Photography and Film Request Form in advance to the requester. Please send the completed form to the Communications Department.
Please direct any additional questions about a photography or film request to the Communications department.
