Where do you find belonging? September is National Library Card Sign-up Month and Pikes Peak Library District wants you to know that you belong at the Library!
A library card allows you and the important people in your life to do more of what you enjoy without overstretching your budget.
Libraries are community hubs filled with materials, resources, and programs to help everyone find belonging, from the creators to the social butterflies, and everyone in between. Whether you want to find new games to play with your family, try new crafts and hobbies, or take a deep dive into your favorite sports culture, find resources and programs to enhance your life at the Library. Having a library card is the first step to uncovering how you belong!
With a Library Card You Can:
- Get creative with 3D printers, laser engravers, sewing machines, and more
- Visit 12 exciting local museums and attractions
- Engage kids in new learning experiences with Colorado State Parks Pass and Backpacks, Discovery Kits, Junior Ranger Packs, and Children’s Launch Pads
- Expand your family’s reading possibilities without stressing your budget
- Use in-Library computers for work, school, career searching, and leisure

- Form a book club with friends, family, or neighbors
- Give the children in your life ages 0 – 5 a strong start in large motor skill development
