Breaking news: summer isn't just for kids! Mixed in with all the signs of the classic Edmonton summer that we know and love (sun, rain, potholes, festivals...) are some great events for grownups to enjoy too. Take in fun activities, make some friends, and get some reading done this August at EPL!
Read in the Park
A brand new library event! We’re gathering in Callingwood Park for Read in the Park on August 8 to spread out in the grass, enjoy the sun, and do some communal reading! Need a break from your book? We’ll have regularly scheduled games and activities all afternoon to test you on your knowledge of famous books.
Sounds from the Valley
Enjoy free concerts with music and poetry every Tuesday evening from July 7 to August 25 at Sounds from the Valley! Artists from EPL's Capital City Records and Capital City Press share their work at the bottom of the ski hill in the beautiful Rainbow Valley.
Book Clubs of EPL
Participate in one of the library's many book clubs! We provide the book, you provide the conversation! Meet fellow book lovers in a relaxed environment and gab about all the things you loved (and hated!) about that month’s title. Looking for something a little different? Try EPL’s special Food for Thought Book Club.
History with a Drag Queen
Wigs, wit, and a whole lot of history. Drag has entertained, challenged, and transformed culture for centuries. Yet, there's so much more to the story than you might think. Join historian, comedian, and drag performer Dr. Karla Marx for History with a Drag Queen: History of Drag on August 6. Packed with fascinating stories, surprising facts, and plenty of personality, it's a night of learning you won't want to miss.
Learn Downtown
Explore one of the greatest concert halls in North America with a tour of the Winspear Centre during our next Learn Downtown presentation on August 26. Learn about the history of the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra and discover the sounds of the Davis Concert Pipe Organ, the largest concert pipe organ in Canada.
