Special Projects
What are "special projects"? These cover a lot of territory. Many are made possible by grants which our Library actively seeks out to fund exciting purchases and programming.
Below you will see just a few of the exciting projects, present and past, at the Hamilton-Wenham Public Library.
Community Read: Tinkers
This Fall the towns of Hamilton and Wenham will be reading Tinkers, by Paul Harding, a Massachusetts author who was born and raised in Wenham. Tinkers is Mr. Harding's first novel and is the winner of 2010's Pulitzer Prize in Fiction. Click here to find out more!
Community Read: A Treasure of Books for Two Towns
In Spring 2010 the towns of Hamilton and Wenham read Everything I Need to Know I Learned From a Children's Book, edited by Anita Silvey. The Community Read was sponsored by The Friends of the Hamilton-Wenham Public Library and a Mother Goose on the Loose Grant. Click here to find out more!
Historical Fiction - Massively updated 3/3/10!
Library staff spent 2008 and 2009 studying our genre of choice: Historical Fiction! We also purchased many new historical fiction titles for the library collection. This was funded through a LSTA (Library Services and Technology Act) Readers’ Advisory Grant, which we received in 2008.
