From a small reading room established 136 years ago, PPLD has evolved to meet the ever-changing needs of our sprawling and growing community. The Library cultivates spaces for belonging, personal growth, and strong communities via 15 facilities, three mobile library services, and a large online hub of resources and services that are inclusive and welcoming to all.
Few institutions are charged with serving people of all ages and walks of life with relevant and entertaining programs, community spaces, and materials as is your public library. We are a lifeline to technology, online resources for employment, and continuing education for everyone in the Pikes Peak Region.
Our mission is to cultivate spaces for belonging, personal growth, and strong communities.
In 2023, there were 1,868,649 patron visits across the Pikes Peak Library District.
“To the Bookmobile people who help make my life better, thanks for all you do through the year finding me books and just having someone to talk to.” — PPLD Bookmobile Patron
