An adults-only evening at the downtown library supporting kids’ summer learning

Hosted by the Edmonton Public Library, Storytime Soirée: The Story Begins is a one-of-a-kind adults-only fundraiser happening in the heart of downtown. Expect a magical night at the Stanley A. Milner Library with delicious food, live music, and interactive experiences that bring the library to life.

Guests can craft a custom pink mocktail, build their own gourmet charcuterie cup, sample literary-themed ice cream, explore the Makerspace, and join cooking demos led by local chefs. There’ll also be live performances, a silent auction, and a 50/50 draw—all in support of Cook Up a Story, a free summer camp for kids aged 9–11 from socially vulnerable families.

🎁 Early bird bonus: Buy your ticket by July 31 to be entered to win signed copies of The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood, Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris, and Soul Boom by Rainn Wilson.
