Friends of PPLD contributes considerably to the library district in myriad ways. By joining the Friends, membership dues help renovate libraries, construct new libraries, support library staff events, sponsor the Betty Field Youth Mystery Writing Contest, fund the Golden Quill and Frank Waters author awards, and provide volunteers for book sales, Mountain of Authors, and Pikes Peak Regional History Symposium.

If interested in joining Friends, applications can be found in Friends bookstores at all PPLD locations and online at friendsppld.org.
