How PPLD Stacks Up

Additionally, since April 2025, PPLD hosted several premier events, regularly interacting with the community and our patrons. Highlighted below are a few of these programs along with their results and impact.

PPLD hosted the annual Homeschool Art Show in April 2025. An amazing 103 homeschool students throughout the District displayed their art. The artists were recognized at an art reception where 222 patrons attended and enjoyed viewing the art on display.

The annual Homeschool Resource Fair took place on April 11 and grew even bigger this year at Library 21c, occupying the Venue and both floors of the Library with 103 vendors and 1550 visitors. This event connects both current and interested homeschool families with resources and information from a wide variety of local vendors and exhibitors, offering educational and extracurricular opportunities for homeschool families.

PPLD’s highly anticipated All Pikes Peak Makes event was held at Library 21c in May, showcasing 35 vendors and 1,105 visitors. The event is an opportunity for makers – anyone who creates – to display and introduce their creations to everyone. PPLD also offered three arts and crafts stations, makerspace and studio open houses, two children’s activities, as well as tables with information about Repair Cafe, Discovery Kits, and outreach resources at this event.

The 19th annual Mountain of Authors program occurred at Library 21c on May 17, providing an opportunity for public and local authors to network and learn more about their craft and trends in publishing. More than 30 local authors attended to display and sell their books while connecting with other authors and readers. The two featured speakers were Michael Covington from Cook Communication (speaking on publishing topics), and photographer and author Pete McBride, who spoke of his experiences while making his books and documentaries. Attendance was 295.

In June, PPLD held its annual Regional History Symposium. The event occurred over the first two Saturdays of June and was a significant success. The program hosted a total of 240 patrons, an increase of 35% over last year’s attendance numbers, with 107 attending the Film Festival and 133 attending the lecture/presentation format. This year 13 different authors/presenters/filmmakers treated audiences to a variety of interesting topics based on the theme of “Beyond the Written Word: Non-textual history.” The group included both high school History Day film winners and a master’s student from the UCCS history department, as well as a record number of first-time History Symposium presenters.

In June and July, the annual Summer Adventure presented by Friends of the Pikes Peak Library District reading program took place, once again including adults to encourage families to read together over the summer. This year’s numbers continue to show growth with 18,833 individuals registered for the program, an increase of 529 individuals over 2024. A total of 7,921 people completed the 30-day reading, creating, and exploring challenge, which was a 6% increase over 2024.

Patron Comment:

“My son refused to join the summer program. One staff member (Shannon) talked him into trying it out. He is dyslexic, easily defeated, and scared to fail. Shannon went out of her way to find something age appropriate and entertaining. We landed on a few books and begrudgingly read. But it worked! His confidence grew! He even took a book with him to run errands. He asks to read out loud, and I find him reading independently! My heart is so full! Thank you!!!” 
– Adult survey response

In July, PPLD hosted a Naturalization Ceremony during which 34 individuals representing 21 countries became new Americans at Library 21c for the U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services (USCIS).

Also in July, the Library District released its Annual Report, a summary of key financial findings and highlights for the previous year. 

It is provided here for your convenience. Access the Annual Report

Formerly Latina Voices, Rising Voices is a series of programs that celebrate the accomplishments, successes, and cultural riches of the people of the Pikes Peak region, sharing the varied voices and experiences of our community. In August, two events took place – a Panel Discussion and a Festival Celebration. Luisa Graff, owner of Luisa Graff Jewelers, and Peter Choi, a reporter for KOAA were two of the individuals involved in the Panel Discussion. The events welcomed 216 individuals.

Purchase of Ruth Holley and Ute Pass Libraries

With the help of a generous donation from the PPLD Foundation of $1 million and a patron donation of $200,000, the PPLD Board of Trustees voted to purchase both Ruth Holley and Ute Pass libraries at the August Board meeting. This commitment by the Board and Library District will provide long-term, sustainable access for these communities to library resources, materials, and services for years to come.

Guide to the PPLD Budget

The PPLD budget is a complex document based on elements that are unique to the Library District as a separate, independent, legal government entity that is tax-exempt and not considered a component unit of any other government entity or municipality. To explain the budget to our patrons and the community in an accessible manner, we prepared a Guide to the PPLD Budget that was released in early October. Here is a link to the document for your convenience: Guide to the PPLD Budget | Pikes Peak Library District.

Your library card gives you access to a world of possibilities at Pikes Peak Library District (PPLD). In addition to a wide selection of physical and digital items you can check out, you also have access to a variety of online resources and databases. This month, take a closer look at how you can use your library card to enhance your next travel experience.

You will need a library card that starts with a 4 to access some of the resources on this page outside a Library location.

Planning

Before your trip, use your library card to check out travel books for your destination. If your trip takes you overseas, brush up on your language skills using Mango Languages or language-learning books found in our collection.

LinkedIn Learning is another excellent travel resource. Log in with your library card and use Search (in the upper right corner) for "travel” to find a variety of video lessons related to travel. Learn useful tips to travel for business, find out how to plan a trip flexibly or creatively, and other useful travel skills. You can even find videos about starting your own travel agency.

Entertainment

You may already know that your library card can fill your entertainment needs on any trip. Stop by the Library before your departure to pick up physical books and audiobooks to enjoy along the way. If you are busy preparing for your trip, you can also use our online catalog or the PPLD app to place holds on books and they will be delivered to your selected Library location for easy pickup.

If you can’t pack all the books you want to read, use our eLibrary resources to borrow eBooks and eAudiobooks through Freading, the Libby app, or the Hoopla app. In addition to books, Libby offers eMagazines, and Hoopla offers movies, TV, and music streaming. For more robust 24/7 music streaming with a full library of options, try streaming with Freegal.

Saving Money

Your library card can also help you find the best deals and ratings on travel products through Consumer Reports. Under the Travel section, you will find expert reviews on suitcases, headphones, diaper bags, strollers, and travel products to help you choose the best products for your trip. You can also find articles full of money-saving tips and tricks from saving money at the gas pump to choosing gifts for travelers.

Traveling with Kids

If you are traveling with kids, your library card can not only provide entertainment but also turn your trip into engaging learning opportunities.

For entertainment beyond the ones mentioned above, turn to TumbleBook Library. This kid-centric platform offers access to hundreds of animated, talking picture books and read-aloud chapter books.

Ahead of your trip, you can help kids have fun while learning about your vacation destination.

Log onto CultureGrams Online to explore the cultures and features of any state, country, or province through engaging visuals, bite-sized articles, audio clips, and encyclopedia pages showcasing things like population, climate, history, greetings, and other cultural and geographic features.

Students learn new skills through hands-on experiences like the annual Homeschool Book Blast at Pikes Peak Library District (PPLD). Homeschool students in grades K – 12 prepare a creative book report based on a book of their choosing and present it in a science fair-style event. Registration for this year’s Homeschool Book Blast opens Fri., Nov. 7 and the event will take place Fri., Dec. 19 at East Library from 1 – 2 p.m. Registration is required to present.

This literary event encourages homeschool students to improve their reading skills and showcase their comprehension skills through a creative project. Students bring their books to life in interesting and informative formats every year. We have seen poster boards, LEGO builds, hand-drawn comic books illustrating pivotal scenes, detailed dioramas, food made from modeling clay, board games centered around the book’s plot, and many other creative formats. Some students even dress up as characters from their book. Since the format is left up to individual students, the possibilities are endless.

Anyone who wants to support learning in our community (or wants to discover new books) is welcome to attend and listen to students’ informal book reports to provide them with opportunities to practice their presentation skills. Projects like these help students gain confidence doing presentations, a vital skill for their future academics and careers. Plus, they encourage a lifelong love of reading!

Homeschoolers who are not doing their own book report are encouraged to attend and listen to other students’ presentations to practice listening skills with the added bonus of possibly discovering something new they want to read. Seeing the other book reports might even inspire them to participate next year.  

Pikes Peak Library District (PPLD) cardholders have checked out 3 million digital items on Libby and OverDrive so far this year. It is about six weeks earlier than we reached this milestone in 2024, and PPLD is on track to hit a record 4 million checkouts by the end of this year.

“This is exciting news for us, because it shows that the Library is being used by patrons more than ever before,” said Jenny Pierce, director of collection management for PPLD. “People continue to use our digital services to access eBooks, eAudiobooks, eMagazines, and movies.” 

We are honored to connect our community with this eLibrary resource. Since we started tracking this data, we have provided our community with 26.5 million digital items through OverDrive and Libby. The three millionth checkout was Mind Over Money by Claudia Hammond.

Rosemary Mosco, author of the All Pikes Peak Reads 2025 title Butterflies Are Pretty… Gross!, has been enthralled by nature since she was a little kid growing up in Ottawa, Canada.

“My mom would flip over logs, and we would play with the snakes. She would point out birds,” remembers Mosco. “I was a very shy and anxious kid, so I would just run off and hang out in the woods. It was a refuge.”

Her love of books and libraries formed at a young age, as well.

“There was a branch of the Ottawa Public Library that was walkable from my house, and I spent many of my weekends there, just reading everything. I would pick a subject that I really liked and try to read every book about it.”

Even a massive ice storm in January 1998 couldn’t keep Mosco from her beloved library. “I really wanted to get to the library, so I remember sliding on solid ice, just slipping my way there. I think it took an hour to walk to the library.”

A pivotal moment came when 8-year-old Mosco was at summer camp. Science educator Michael Léveillé visited with “this huge pad of paper and all of us sat around. [He was drawing] cartoons of the history of life, doing little voices, and he was so funny. I was just transfixed. I was learning so much. I was like, ‘How is this a career option? How do I become this guy?’”

After his presentation, Léveillé let the kids know there were opportunities to volunteer at the Canadian Museum of Nature. “And so I did,” remembers Mosco, “It was a hangout spot for dinosaur nerds. It was amazing to talk to adults who continued to be weird and nature-y and doing science communication.”

This set Mosco down a path that included getting a bachelor’s degree in anthropology and starting a successful web comic called Bird & Moon after her third year of college.

In 2010, soon after earning her Master of Science from the Field Naturalist Program at the University of Vermont, Mosco was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer. While in treatment, Mosco “had this moment of, if I don't have a lot of time, what do I want to do? I realized I didn’t want to worry about being serious and smart. I just want to have a good time and talk about issues that are important to me. I had this real sense of urgency.” (Mosco says there are “no signs of cancer at the moment.”)

This led to a diversified career in science communication, which for Mosco includes her comics, speaking engagements, and 10 books (and counting) for both adults and children. “I have 50 different things I'm working on at any given time and a zillion spreadsheets.”

At the core of her work is making the complex world of nature and science accessible to readers of all ages, with humor as the special ingredient.

“I try to use clear language,” says Mosco. “And I have to find some sort of hook that will make it interesting for them, because people are busy. I've also found that if you add a joke to the most boring fact, people remember it.”

Several times during the interview for this article, Mosco’s eyes and interest were drawn upward to a horsefly in her home. Even indoors, Mosco can’t help being drawn to nature.

“I can't turn it off. It’s always funny when I'm having a deep conversation with someone and a cool bird flies behind them,” says Mosco. “It will be really distracting.”

Once a child who found joyful distraction and escape in nature and books, Mosco can now create those opportunities for the readers of her books.

“When I see kids reading my book, I want to cry. It makes me really emotional. It doesn't feel entirely real,” explains Mosco. “I want to make kids feel like the world is bigger and better than they thought it was.”

Are you addicted to your smart device? If you have ever picked up your phone and suddenly lost hours to an endless stream of content, you might be! 

This technology, in conjunction with social media apps, has changed the way we consume information, mostly in the form of short, addictive bursts. The price of this shift? For one thing, our attention spans are getting shorter, and it would seem our interest in weighty tomes has gone the way of the dodo. A 2021 study showed that books on the New York Times Best-Selling List had shrunk in length by more than 50 pages in the last decade, and the likelihood of a longer book (400+ pages) getting on the best-seller list fell by nearly 30%. 

Apps like TikTok are being blamed for a decline in reading overall, and this trend has forced the publishing industry to change tactics. Modern writers are using the tricks of digital media and psychology to connect with readers whose attention is constantly under siege. These techniques can include writing shorter sentences and chapters, as well as teasing major plot points up front. It seems many writers no longer feel they have the luxury of easing into the story with a long, slow preamble. And shorter chapters written in bingeable chunks give their reader a sense of accomplishment they wouldn’t experience stopping mid-chapter. Shorter sentences, lean paragraphs, a streamlined structure, and quick hooks seem to be the fashion these days.

“I think average readers are less likely to commit to a longer book; rather, they choose something they consider more interesting and that’s realistic to complete.” 
– Dimitrije Curcic, Research Director, Words Rated

The online world of Fandom is also an alluring target for authors. Online groups like BookTok offer the ability for authors to interact directly with their readers and adapt to trends that tend to increase commercial success. You too can sell lots of books (if you just give the people what they are literally telling you they want)!

Of course, authors are human too, and although some of these changes may stem from the more cynical desire to sell books, others may simply be a result of the author’s own changing tastes and consumption. After all, surely, we write what we like?

However your tastes may have evolved, Pikes Peak Library District has bite-sized page turners, timeless classics, and everything in between for you. You can easily browse reviews, explore local authors, and discover a reading list that matches your tastes at ppld.org. Let us help you find your next great read… no pressure, no judgement—just books that may make you forget about that phone for a moment!   

Her new skills came to the rescue one bitterly cold day as she was out shopping. As Camilla left a large retail store, she noticed a vehicle pull up at the nearby crosswalk. A distressed man climbed out of the vehicle and started yelling for help. Camilla responded and discovered that she had received training in the very skills that could save his passenger’s life.

In a life-threatening emergency, every second counts. Having a person nearby with the skills to respond to the situation before paramedics arrive can be the difference between life and death. This was the case for Camilla, who used skills learned at a PPLD-led training to save someone’s life last December.

Camilla, a longtime cardholder with PPLD, took a Narcan training at the Library in 2024, motivated by her desire to help her community in any way necessary. Narcan is used to stabilize the medical condition of someone experiencing an opioid overdose until medical help arrives. Because it has no known negative effects, it can safely be administered even if it is uncertain whether a person in distress is experiencing an overdose.

The Library District offers Narcan training for its staff and those classes are also open to the public at no cost. In 2024, the District ran 18 Narcan classes, training a total of 60 people in its use, 24 of whom were patrons like Camilla. In 2025, an additional 60 people have taken the training as of October 7, with more registered for upcoming sessions.

“I took the class because I am part of our community,” Camilla said. “I try to be a resource. I took it so I could use it if I needed.”

Her training came to the rescue at the crosswalk that day – the driver’s passenger was overdosing. Although Camilla was in the habit of carrying Narcan following the training, she didn’t have it with her at the time. Thinking quickly on her feet, she ran into the store and asked staff if anyone had Narcan in their emergency kits.

Employees at the storer used their radio to call a manager, who confirmed that there was Narcan in their emergency kit. The manager brought the Narcan out but had not yet been trained in how to use it. Camilla informed the manager that she was trained, and they hurried outside while the manager phoned for medical help.

"I had never been in a situation like that,” Camilla later told Library staff. “From the training, I felt confident enough to react.”

In the vehicle, the passenger was unconscious and appeared to be experiencing a lack of oxygen. The passenger door was locked, so Camilla climbed through the driver’s side door and administered the first dose. When there was no apparent change in the victim's state, Camilla administered a second dose. There was a noticeable change this time and the victim stabilized.

An ambulance arrived shortly after that and took the victim to the hospital for further treatment. The experience left Camilla feeling amazed that having just one trained person on hand changed the outcome and saved a life.

Following this incident, Camilla contacted the Health Department to coordinate a training program for staff at her workplace.

“I’m a big believer in Libraries,” Camilla reflected. “They are an underutilized resource and can mean a world of difference for someone walking through the doors. The Library has so much available for everyone.”

Reflecting on the incident, Camilla expressed gratitude for the training, "PPLD was there for me.” She feels thankful for the training she received, saying that it made a huge difference that day.

When Kate hosted a party for her son Rory’s first birthday, she booked the Venue at Library 21c, a space with plenty of room to set up tables, a small ball pit, and a play area.

“The Venue at Library 21c is great for the kids, because it’s so big, and they like to run around,” she says. “It’s a lot more space than we have at home.”

Kate reserved the room for four hours, allowing two hours for the party, plus an hour prior for setup and an hour afterward for cleanup.

She knew many of the Libraries that are part of Pikes Peak Library District (PPLD) have event, meeting, and study rooms available for patrons to use at no cost. She attended a moms’ group that met in a smaller meeting space at East Library and also went with her son to Baby Time, an interactive program for families with babies from birth to 12 months, during which they experience language through songs, rhymes, and stories. Although East Library is closer to Kate’s home and has a large meeting space, she chose to book the spacious room at Library 21c for Rory’s birthday party.

PPLD has nearly 60 event spaces, meeting rooms, and study rooms in Libraries across the District that are available for public use by reservation. There is no cost to reserve and use a room, but you must be a library cardholder to make a reservation.

In 2024, more than 170,000 people took advantage of these Library facilities. Based on the median rental cost for comparable spaces in the area, the District estimates that these users saved about $1.2 million in rental fees.

The spaces are available for a wide variety of events and purposes, including personal milestones like birthday parties, baby showers, and celebrations; group get-togethers like Dungeons & Dragons sessions, craft clubs, and study sessions; and organizational events such as Scout meetings and presentations. They are also used by businesses to conduct client meetings, trainings, and other business events.

Carla, Pikes Peak Library District’s public relations & marketing manager, remembers attending meetings at East Library when she was a teenager preparing to take an international trip in 2005 hosted, chaperoned, and guided by the People to People Student Ambassador Program. For several months prior to their departure, the 30 or so students who would be traveling to England and France and their parents met several times a month with People to People representatives to learn about the countries, go over travel safety, and review the rules and procedures they would be expected to follow. At one meeting, she says, the students were assigned to research one of the cultural sites they would visit; hers was The Louvre. Meeting at the Library made it convenient for them to conduct research for the assignment. At the final meeting, the students were given information packets and passports for their three-week journey. And it all happened at the Library!

Carla participated in the program again the next summer on a trip to Japan and again attended preparatory meetings at East Library.

“I remember I was surprised to find out that you could just use the rooms at the Library,” she says. “I thought it was pretty cool that the Library had those spaces available.”

The Library’s large event spaces include the Venue at Library 21c (up to 350 people); the Community Room at East Library (up to 100 or 160 people); and the Columbine A and Columbine B rooms at Penrose Library (up to 92 or 184 people), all of which are ideal for sizeable gatherings and events. These large rooms can be reserved up to six months in advance. Due to their popularity, early reservations are recommended.

Also available at many Library locations are meeting rooms of various capacities that may have technology such as computers, projectors, or sound systems. Although Library staff does not operate equipment or provide technical support, patrons may schedule time to test audio-visual equipment ahead of their reservations. These rooms can be reserved up to three months in advance.

Study rooms, which do not have technical equipment, can accommodate one to five people, depending on the location, and can be reserved up to one week in advance. Reservations can be made for a maximum of two hours
per day. Study rooms played important roles in education for Library users Seraphim and her husband Ahrah (identified by pseudonyms for this story).

Seraphim used study rooms at East Library and Library 21c as a way to focus her mind and organize materials for concurrent enrollment classes. She also used study rooms later for personal writing. During his undergraduate studies, Ahrah used the study rooms about a dozen times for group projects and meetings. He also utilized the Library for research and as a quiet place to write papers.

Both Seraphim and Ahrah found it easy to make reservations for the rooms on the District’s website. Seraphim adds that she often was able to use one of the study rooms on a walk-in basis when nobody else was using them and there were no scheduled reservations.

Patrons who want to reserve a space should check with their preferred Library location for availability. Library-sponsored events also make use of the meeting rooms, so it is important to plan ahead. For example, the Venue at Library 21c is not available during large, District-wide programs like Mountain of Authors and All Pikes Peak Reads.

Library cardholders can read meeting room policies and then make a reservation request online here.
