Sherwood Branch

The Sherwood Branch was opened as a storefront in a small plaza on Upper Ottawa Street in November 1966. In 1981, the Branch expanded and eventually moved to a larger and brighter facility in June 1991. Sherwood Branch was most recently renovated in 2010.

The Branch offers materials and programming for children, teens and adults.

The Sherwood Branch is located at 467 Upper Ottawa St, Hamilton, ON L8T 3T3
