Let's Learn Together at the Library
The Edmonton Public Library’s mission is we share! We share expertise, information, technology and space with all Edmontonians.
With a FREE library card, you and your family can enjoy the endless benefits EPL offers:
Resources for new parents
In partnership with Alberta Health Services and Covenant Health, EPL offers parents and their two-month old babies early literacy information to set them up for success.
Visit any Public Health Centre in Edmonton for your baby’s two-month immunization and receive a free EPL Welcome Baby kit! Children 36 months of age and younger who sign up for a library card in an EPL branch also receive a free songs and rhymes booklet and second board book.
