I Love EPL

Do you love EPL? Come on, we know you do. So TELL US and help spread the words!
The municipal election is Monday, October 18. Help make sure the candidates are committed to helping build great cities by supporting great libraries!

EPL wants to share the stories of the many different people from all over the city who use and love the library. Help spread the words by sharing your personal experience and the reasons you love the library. We'll share these stories on our website and in a printed brochure to help our candidates, elected officials and other funders see and hear the many ways the library is impacting the lives of Edmontonians.

Write: In 50 words or less tell us why you love the library. Did you get great service? Is it the best deal in town? Did you learn something? We want to keep it short and impactful. Keep it to 140 characters and we'll tweet it!

Click: Take a picture of you, your family, your friends, with a heart. You can make it with your hands, you can make it with your arms; you can hold something, or wear something with a heart on it. We know you're creative so have fun!

Send: When you're done, !*

* Please note, by emailing your statement and photo you are giving the Edmonton Public Library permission to use these pieces in our promotional materials.

It's that simple. We will review the submissions, post them to our website, use them in presentations and create a library brochure with several of them.

Share your stories to help our candidates and other funders understand why they should love and support EPL too!

We hope we can count on your participation!

Examples:

"I love EPL because girlfriends have come and gone, but the Library is a constant. She's clear about boundaries (no Sunday visits), but when she's open she's always up for a movie or a good book. If I'm ever late, she reminds me, and the penalties are never severe. Best relationship ever!"
Tim Dixon

"I love EPL because it is the easiest and cheapest way to keep my girls entertained and learning for hours!"
James and Annika John

"I love the EPL because it is a place I can turn to for comfort and to help me make decisions. It doesn't care what I look like, how much money I have or what my income is"
