If ghosts are on your mind this time of year, you are in good company at Pikes Peak Library District (PPLD). You will find hauntingly good books in our collection and spirited fall programs like Spooky Stacks and Spooky Stroll-a-Story to put you in the seasonal mood. In addition to these offerings, we also have a few ghost stories of our own. Some of our Libraries are said to be haunted.

As the late-afternoon sun dipped below the tree-lined horizon above Manitou Springs on Fri., Feb. 7, 2025, several hundred people braved a brisk but powerful breeze to witness the grand reopening of Manitou Springs Library.

"Pikes Peak Library District (PPLD) is excited to be coming home," PPLD CEO Teona Shainidze-Krebs told the crowd gathered outside the historic Carnegie Library, which first opened in 1911.
