Shelley Milner Children's Library
The Shelley Milner Children’s Library is located on the main floor of the Stanley A. Milner Library in the heart of downtown Edmonton. We aim to provide a vibrant community learning space for children, their families and caregivers. Within our walls, you’ll find space, equipment and collections to support children’s literacy development, electronic gaming, creating and making, play, research and reading from birth up to age 12.
