Big news for Edmonton’s kids and families

Today, we are excited to announce the Children's Enrichment Fund with the Edmonton Community Foundation, a dedicated endowment that will grow over time to support EPL programs, collections, and welcoming spaces for children and teens.

Every gift, big or small, helps ensure these opportunities are available for generations to come.
