Hamilton Reads 2023 - Activities
Congratulations to Haley Donna S. who is the Hamilton Reads grand prize winner of a stack of books and a $50 gift certificate to buy more from local bookseller, Epic Books.
News about the 2024 version of the city's biggest book club will be announced in Spring 2024.
Like Motl’s quest story, try our summer reading challenge. Pick up a Tic Tac Toe card at any branch, bookmobile, or download one. and complete the tasks. Three in a row earns an entry into a prize draw. Finish all nine and you’ll earn a limited-edition* belt bag/fanny pack/shoulder holster (it’s the carryall that goes by many names). *While supplies last.
Prizes can be picked up at any branch.
