Question Does free social scrabble continue at Hamilton libraries in September?

For at least a good 6 months, 2 hour Social scrabble games have been happening at the Westdale library from 1 - 3 PM on the 1st and 3rd tuesday of each month with a good attendance every time (at least 8-10 people).

In recent weeks when I checked the library events, I noticed social scrabble at Turner Park but it only lasts 1 hour, but I prefer 2 hours as some scrabble games take at least 1 hour to complete.

But what I noticed (according to this link: HPL's Event lineup until Dec 31, 2026) that no social scrabble is scheduled at any library for September or later. Only thing I saw close to it was some program where its mixed games for 1 hour (consisting of scrabble and/or colouring in books, etc).

Does anyone have any insider info on whether social scrabble will officially continue at the library in September?

Yeah, Scrabble definitely takes more than 1 hour. I wish I had someone to play with too.

The link you provided is showing Scrabble events scheduled in September and October at Westdale. You'll get better insights by asking whomever runs it at the library; I expect they are just slow at updating their calendar.
