Libraries are a vital lifeline for the whole community. The PPLD Foundation’s End of Year Giving Campaign is back to raise funds to support the essential resources Pikes Peak Library District (PPLD) provides to people throughout the Pikes Peak region.
Job seekers can find resume writing and interview preparation help, career search navigation, and educational opportunities for job skills. Parents and caregivers of young children can find early literacy and education opportunities, hands-on programs, a Toy Library with toys for motor skill development, homework help, learning programs for homeschoolers, and a wide range of other resources to support their children’s growth and development. Teenagers can enjoy resources and services like safe spaces to hang out with friends, gaming consoles, reliable research resources, test and college prep help, and tutoring. And anyone can enjoy our vast collection of books and other media, genealogy resources, no-cost passes to local attractions, classes and community activities, and other services and resources we provide.
What all of those amazing services and programs have in common are the need for physical spaces. In 2025, the Pikes Peak Library District Foundation stepped up in a huge way to ensure these programs will have a home. In August, the Foundation Board agreed to fulfill a request from the District to commit $1 million to help purchase Ruth Holley Library. The purchase helps ensure this location will be available for years to come.
Donations are a vital part of Library funding and help in sustainability and vitality. We invite you to make a difference in your community with a meaningful contribution through the PPLD Foundation during the Year-End-Giving Campaign. We thank you for your support and generosity!
