Hopwood Program

Join us at the 2025 Hopwood Awards Ceremony!

“There is a place like no place on earth. A land full of wonder, mystery, and danger. Some say, to survive it, you need to be as mad as a hatter. Which, luckily, I am.”

Visit the Hopwood Room! Come check out our up-to-date collections of fiction, poetry, nonfiction, graphic novels, as well as our historic Hopwood special collection. We're open Monday–Thursday 9:30am–5:30pm.
