In September 2024, Friends of the Edgewater Library presented the first “Edgewater Stories” program. Our goal for this community engagement initiative was to reach into our diverse neighborhood, where more than 60 languages are spoken, and share stories about how and why individuals came to live, work, or visit Edgewater. We know that everyone has a story to tell!
We're pleased to present 17 stories that made us laugh, cry, ooh, and ah! We hope you’ll find them as entertaining, thought-provoking, and emotional as we did. More importantly, they helped us create new bonds of friendship with our Edgewater neighbors.
