Capital City Press Collection
The Edmonton Public Library is committed to supporting and promoting the work of local writers. The Capital City Press Collection, housed at the Stanley A. Milner Library, celebrates and showcases books written by authors residing in the Greater Edmonton Area and/or are members of the Treaty 6 First Nations or a Metis Settlement within Alberta’s provincial boundaries.
The call for submissions will remain open all year. EPL will add new books to the collection, with purchases being made several times a year based on submission by the writers.
