EPL welcomes everyone, and we share every day.

The Edmonton Public Library has grown from a place for books to a place for people. EPL makes it possible for Edmontonians to connect, learn and belong.

While we proudly offer traditional library services, we find innovative, creative and cutting-edge ways to provide relevant resources, the latest technology and a diverse offering of programs for all ages. Services are available at our 21 locations, online and beyond library walls. Working with hundreds of partner organizations in our communities, we bring services to customers when and where they need them – in hospitals, schools, community centers and even the correctional system.

A place for everyone

EPL is a gathering place for people and ideas, and enables a lifetime of learning, engagement and possibility for every member of our community. 

Great libraries shape great cities

Public libraries are vital to the economic, social and cultural foundation of any vibrant, rich and thriving society. With a legacy of innovation and a trademark of excellence, EPL is inspired every day to provide the best service for our customers.

Support Cook Up a Story Summer Camps

This summer, we're excited to launch Cook Up a Story Summer Camps, our brand-new summer camp designed to nourish both minds and bodies! This exciting camp for children aged 9 to 12 that come from socially vulnerable families combines the magic of storytelling with hands-on learning experiences that go beyond books. Campers will explore culinary literacy, digital literacy, creative writing, gaming, and more, all while building friendships and developing new skills in a fun inclusive environment.

Each camp week will welcome 25 campers for a full week of learning adventures, complete with healthy lunches and snacks. From cooking challenges to reading, writing, crafting, and play, Cook Up a Story Summer Camps is all about learning through play and exploration.

Donate today to help provide enriching experiences for kids from socially vulnerable families and give them access to the kinds of educational opportunities that can shape their futures.

Every gift helps us open the doors for more children to join us in this unique summer experience. Thank you!
