Hamilton Public Library (HPL), in partnership with the City of Hamilton’s Indigenous Relations Division and Lord Cultural Resources, is exploring the long-term redevelopment of the former Canadian Marine Discovery Centre as a new library branch, Indigenous gathering space, cultural heritage exhibition space, café and visitor destination.
As this work continues, HPL will open a small, temporary West Harbour Branch at the site in summer 2026, activating the waterfront with library services, programs and Indigenous-focused collections while the long-term vision is developed.
