Storytime Soirée: The Story Begins

Introducing Storytime Soirée, an exclusive evening celebrating everything that makes the Library extraordinary, featuring great food, live music, and fun, hands-on experiences that bring the magic of Edmonton Public Library to life!

This adults-only event invites library lovers, community champions, and supporters from across Edmonton to come together for an unforgettable night of connection, celebration, and meaningful impact.

Help a New Summer Story Begin
Did you know that kids can lose up to two months of learning over the summer? The “summer slide” makes it harder for children to catch up when school starts again. For many families in our community, finding an affordable way to keep kids engaged and learning is a real challenge.

That’s why this year’s Storytime Soirée will support Edmonton Public Library’s Cook Up a Story, a summer camp for kids aged 9 to 11 from socially vulnerable families.

This exciting summer camp, hosted at the Stanley A. Milner Library, provides kids ages 9 to 11 the opportunity to keep on learning during the summer months. The camp offers a fun, hands-on learning experience with activities like reading, writing, cooking, gaming, and crafting.

Cook Up a Story is part of a five-year pilot project, and we’re just getting started. Your continued support will help ensure this camp can grow and thrive for years to come—at no cost to families.
