Books Build Bridges

Books Build Bridges is a community read program hosted by Hamilton East Public Library each fall to build community through shared experience, provide diverse reading opportunities and engage our community with noted authors. Featured books this year are The Distance Between Us by Reyna Grande (Adults and Young Readers Edition) and Pancho Rabbit and the Coyote by Duncan Tonatiuh (Picture Book). Learn more on pages 4, 5, 10 and 12.

Eric Salazar joins Ignite Studio as our Maker-in-Residence September-December 2021. Salazar pioneers the New Classical genre. He takes his classical training and fuses together modern electronics with classical instruments, blending ancient styles with current trends. He teaches, performs, composes, records, leads workshops, and presents lectures. Meet our newest Maker-in-Residence on pages 16-17.

With students back in classrooms, the library offers support for all age groups in the learning process. A wide variety of digital and in-person resources are availble through HEPL. These resources are freely available and accessible to anyone with a library card or school digital ID. Whatever the subject, there are powerful tools and resources to enrich the learning experience for teachers, parents and students. Explore our resources on pages 18-19.
