Pride Month

Celebrate Pride Month at EPL

June is Pride Month, and we're proud to celebrate the rich diversity and resilience of the LGBTQIA+ community. All month long, your public library is hosting inclusive events, showcasing powerful stories, and highlighting voices that inspire change and connection.

Whether you're looking for books that reflect your experience, programs that spark conversation, or a welcoming space to be yourself, the library is here for you. Join us in honoring love, identity, and community—this month and every month.

Pride Month Art Exhibits

"Correspondence Invited" - Collages by James Hosking

Set between 1966 to 1981, the collages in this exhibit are inspired by found LGBTQ+ personal ads and their authors. The works explore how the times they lived in, and the media they consumed, shaped their psyches and hopes for connection in the pre-digital era.

View the display on the 3rd floor through August 1st.  And take part in a July collage workshop led by the artist!
