A New Generation of Connection: EPL Program Held at Optima Living Edmonton Residences Wins Award

Edmonton Public Library has been honoured with the distinguished 2024 Minister's Award for Municipal and Public Library Excellence. The Library is recognized for its impactful initiative, Together We Grow, an innovative program that exemplifies the Library's commitment to innovation and community engagement.

Together We Grow brings EPL's early literacy programming to seniors' residences and long-term care facilities, where they can be enjoyed by seniors and young families together. The program promotes social connection, reduces feelings of loneliness, and creates meaningful interactions that benefit participants of all ages.

The program's first sessions were held at Optima Living residences Rutherford Heights and MacTaggart Place.
