Customer Focused
We are real people who put others first. We are compassionate and empathetic. We have diverse experiences, interests and passions and we bring these to work every day. We accept everyone and adapt to every unique situation and need. We are welcoming, flexible and accessible. We go out of our way to serve Edmontonians.
Responsible
We act with integrity and honesty. We are responsible stewards of public funds. We do what we say and are accountable to each other, our partners and our community. We do big things without big budgets. We work tirelessly to provide a lot for very little, and we offer it to everyone.
Innovative
We are progressive and original. We experiment and we create. We push the boundaries of the modern library. We try new things out and create new services to spur imagination and inspire learning.
Knowledge Seekers
We are lifelong learners and a key component of a learning city. We foster a learning environment both for our customers and our staff. Through us knowledge is discovered and shared, people changed and shaped, and community is nurtured and grown.
One Library/One Team
We are one library, with one staff and one collection. We collaborate to serve the unique needs of our customers and our communities, and deliver an exceptional customer experience. Together we are stronger.
Idea Champions
Unfiltered, uncensored and judgement-free, we are excited by ideals, ideas and conversations. We encourage forward thinking and build bridges by bringing diverse groups together. We promote dialogue, increasing understanding and inspiring change. We stand up for ideas but don’t judge or discriminate. We champion the right for all ideas to be heard.
