COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — The Pikes Peak Library District (PPLD) is celebrating the purchase of a new building (3924 Pony Tracks Drive) that will become a new future library location.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony will begin at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, March 20, and will last until 1:00 p.m.

It will feature PPLD's bookmobile, performances from local students, and the D49 Student Services Center.

“We’re excited to be at the beginning of providing services in a fast-growing area of El Paso County,” said Denise Abbott, chief communications and marketing officer for the Library District. “We know the community has needed library services in this area for a long time — and we can’t wait to bring those services to them in the future.”
