Red Hill Branch – Taxes Now Listed Separately on Items and Services
Red Hill Branch is testing a pricing update where applicable taxes are now added and displayed separately on sale items, including HPL Shop and Makerspace items and services. Member receipts show the tax charged for each item. Black-and-white and color copying/printing remain tax-included.
This change will take effect at all branches starting February 25.

Charles Cochran

These images are from an album containing contact prints of some of Charles Schriber Cochran’s (1854-1933) finest photographs, taken when he operated a photographic studio in Hamilton. Many of them were never published and are available here to the public for the first time.
The collection contains nearly 100 photographs spanning the years 1886 to 1902.
