      HPL Program Application Form

      Hamilton Public Library’s programming committee accepts suggestions for programs.  If you have a programming suggestion, please complete the form.

      Please note that submissions will be reviewed based on Hamilton Public Library’s strategic priorities and in accordance with established policies, specifically HPL's Working With Us Policy.

      Please note that submissions are reviewed quarterly (six months in advance of presentation). 

      Due to the high volume of program suggestions, HPL will contact you only if there is interest in booking your program. Past program proposal approval does not guarantee that an organization or individual will be asked to again offer the program or that future proposals will be approved. Thank you for your interest in HPL programming.

      Program Information

      HPL works with highly qualified outside presenters who are able to offer programs where they share specific professional expertise with library customers.

      As a public institution, please note that presentations should focus on providing information and cannot promote a business or include any form of solicitation or sales. Thank you. 

      To remain accessible to all of our customers, HPL offers similar programs across the system. Information about the various branches of HPL can be found here.
