Last week, we gathered for a lovely morning at the annual Epilogue Society Tea.

Library supporters and members of the Epilogue Society came together at Central Library in the TD Great Reading Room to connect over tea, conversation, and a behind-the-scenes look at how generosity powers real programs, real spaces, and real impact for Calgarians of all ages. From early learning to teen tech to collections, Library experts brought the work to life right at the tables.

Curious about how you can create lasting impact through legacy giving? Send us a message to find out more.
