The original Hamilton Branch of the Enoch Pratt Free Library was located on Hamilton Avenue, just east of Harford Road, on a site donated to the library by the Hamilton Improvement Association. The original branch was the first to open in Hamilton since the neighborhood became part of Baltimore City in 1918. The Hamilton Branch currently has one of the Pratt System's largest circulation rates and is the headquarters branch for the Pratt's Northeast District. The Children's area includes an extensive picture book collection. We also have an expanding audio and video collection for children and adults.
Video collection includes educational and entertainment videos.
Voter registration forms, tax forms and information about community events are also available. We have a 140-person capacity meeting room available for community groups. There is an annual Summer Reading Program for school age children and young adults through grade 12. A photocopy machine is available. Copies are 20 cents per page.
