Welcome to Your Library

MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR:

LOVE MY LIBRARY!

Since its Valentine’s Day this month, let’s talk romance. I am, of course, talking about the romance that many of you have with your library. Yes, I’m serious. One of the most frequent comments I hear when I’m out in the community, and someone finds out that I am the Director for the library system, is: “We love our library!” … And, I love hearing that.

Libraries hold a special place in the hearts of those who use them. Whether it is a storytime when you were a child, a book that moved you or may have changed your life, a librarian who may have had a positive impact on you, or your most recent visit to the library with your family, that memory or experience resonates with people for a long time. Our users and visitors don’t just get resources from us; they feel an emotional connection to their libraries. Our facilities are not just places or buildings; they engender a sense of awe at being surrounded by all that knowledge and opportunity.

We invite you to look through our newsletter and calendar of events this month. Find something that will inspire you or your child; that will transform your way of thinking, seeing, or doing; that will make us better persons and a better community.

Seek. Engage. Transform.

Paula J. Miller

Executive Director, Pikes Peak Library District
