Branch News!
The Pikes Peak Library District has 14 branches (including the mobile library) that serves the Pikes Peak Region. The Friends are an active part of the branches; ensuring the staff, volunteers and libraries receive much needed resources and support.
Here's what's up with the branches!
Volunteer of the Year 2023
DeeAnn Brown of the Ute Pass Branch Library was recognized during the Annual Meeting as the 2023 Volunteer of the Year. DeeAnn is a Chipita Park resident and has been the president of the Ute Pass Friends since 2015.
"I was speechless," she said upon learning she had won this prestigious award. "I consider the Ute Pass Library to be a hidden gem in our area. Patrons have free access to books, eBooks, audio books, DVDs, magazines, adult, teen and children's programs, genealogy resources, computers and more."
The Friends of the Pikes Peak Library District are so grateful for DeeAnn and the many other Friends volunteers that represent the array of branches.
