Sixteen years ago, the Pikes Peak Library District opened the Rockrimmon Branch Library to serve residents of northwestern Colorado Springs.

In the decade and a half since, while the population of the community has expanded by more than 150,000, the District has maintained its system of 11 libraries and provided nationally recognized programs and services to its patrons.

Now, 59,036,605 check-outs later, PPLD is poised to open a new branch library in the Briargate community. The 10,000-square-foot facility has become a reality due in great part to the philanthropic support of the community and the tireless efforts of PPLD and PPLD Foundation staff and volunteers.

The Library District has been looking closely at its service delivery model and opportunities for building capacity throughout El Paso County while maintaining the award-winning level of customer service that patrons have come to appreciate. The Briargate Branch Library will become one of several opportunities to show that PPLD is doing just that.
