How You Can Help

5 Key Steps to Save the Library

1. Attend Meetings

We need every person you know to attend library board, city council, and commissioners meetings.

We need a sea of support to urge our city council, county commissioners, and the board of trustees to do the right thing. Children are welcome!

Library closures affect our entire city: bring anyone who loves libraries.

2. Volunteer

We are looking for volunteers for our interim library!

Please watch for opportunities in our newsletter.

Send us an email if you can help!

3. Spread the word

We fear that the Pikes Peak Library Board of Trustees isn’t planning to stop at closing one library or even two.

Everyone must urge our city and library officials to reverse this decision.
