Barton Branch
Opened in May 1908, the Barton Branch was the first branch in the Hamilton Public Library system. The Branch occupied several permanent and temporary locations over the next 50 years, before it moved to its present location in November 1963. Barton Branch was most recently renovated in 2011.
The Barton Branch also has a Seed Library provided in partnership with Green Venture. Visit the Barton Branch to select seeds, find information about gardening and HPL programs, and harvest seeds to replenish the Seed Library.
The Branch offers materials and programming for children, teens and adults.
The Barton Branch is located at 571 Barton St E, Hamilton ON L8L 2Z4
