There are exciting things planned for Fountain in spring of 2006!
A NEW 10,000-square-foot library
State-of-the-art technology, including self check out
Patron-friendly spaces with reading and meeting areas
In order to meet the library needs of the community, PPLD and the City of Fountain have developed a funding triad formula that encourages collaboration between government, business, and private nonprofit sectors.
The City of Fountain will provide land, waive tap fees and other services, and provide monies for the new branch library and its community meeting room.
Fountain-Fort Carson School District #8 has committed to providing the land for the parking lot.
PPLD will provide monies toward library construction.
Additional financial support is being solicited from local businesses and charitable organizations. Please contact Julianne Rist if you would like to contribute.
