Edmonton Public Library Appreciation Post When I moved to #yeg in 2002, I moved into the building on the left of the first image. There was no home that was closer to the Jasper Place @EPLdotCA Branch than the one I lived in. And yet, I never set foot in the library for years.

Last week it was Freedom to Read week. Now more important than ever as we advocate for the right to be challenged by what we read and that understanding the views of others #bcpoli
