News from the Woodcroft Edmonton Public Library

Woodcroft Branch is now partnering with the Bissell Centre on Housing Workshops. People in need can meet with housing navigators and discover affordable housing options and eligibility, learn their rights as tenants and get access to other programs and resources.

Families with babies, toddlers and preschoolers – Early Literacy classes are back in a big way with Sing Sign Laugh and Learn being offered 5 times a week, and Baby Laptime and Family Storytime returning as well!

The Ready, Set, Read initiative has now expanded to all families on the Northside of Edmonton! This partnership with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library directly mails a free book every month for each child in the home under 5 years old. Get a form at the library or go to epl.ca/ready-set-read and print out the form to apply, then drop it off at the Woodcroft Library. (Note: North Glenora is not yet on the neighbourhood list due a technical glitch, so please use the paper form instead of the online request)

School-aged kids can participate in Discovery club on Thursdays after early dismissal for STEAM science and art based programming at 2:30pm and teens can check out Teen Lounge on Fridays at 4pm for PlayStation and Popcorn.
