Edmonton

A child learns to love books and build reading skills at home starting from birth. The Edmonton Public Library can help. Ready. Set. READ! is a free program dedicated to inspiring a love of reading by gifting books to children from birth to age five.  Books are delivered straight to your home and are yours to keep forever. Ready. Set. READ! is offered in partnership with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library and made possible by generous donations to EPL. 

Ready. Set. READ! is now available to families across Edmonton but space is limited. When our program is full, you will not be able to register until more spots become available. Please visit epl.ca/ready-set-read/ for the most up-to-date information on program availability and to sign up for notifications. If you require assistance, staff in any of our 21 library locations can help.
