Aboriginal Peoples

Celebrating Edmonton's Aboriginal Community

Through diverse programming and events, EPL creates year-round opportunities for sharing, learning and fellowship. We also offer dedicated Aboriginal collections in most of our branches where you can access CDs, DVDs, children's materials, fiction and non-fiction books, as well as Aboriginal language collections created for, by, and about Aboriginal Peoples close to home and around the world.

Aboriginal Collection
While all EPL locations carry Aboriginal materials, 11 of our 17 branches have dedicated Aboriginal Collections which celebrate the arts, literature and culture of the Aboriginal community.

Aboriginal Programs and Events at EPL
Throughout the year, EPL hosts several Aboriginal focused programs and events including cultural programs and performances, Aboriginal book clubs, career planning workshops, health workshops and Aboriginal storytimes, to name just a few.

Aboriginal Advisory Group
Did you know EPL has an Aboriginal Advisory Group? Comprised of one Elder, members of the Aboriginal community and EPL's Aboriginal Services Librarian, the Group advises and makes recommendations regarding library programs and services for the Aboriginal community.
