Update Feb 12, 2020:

The temporary site of the Valley Park Branch, at 1050 Paramount Dr., Unit 12, is now open.

Please use the drop box at the temporary site. The drop box at the former site (970 Paramount Dr.) is now closed, due to construction.

The new Valley Park Branch is expected to be complete by Fall 2021.

 “We’re very excited to break ground on our new Valley Park Branch. This is a vibrant, growing community and this new building – with its beautiful reading courtyard and modern programming spaces – will be a gathering space for all to come together to discover, learn and share,” says Paul Takala, Chief Librarian, Hamilton Public Library.
