What's New!

Ute Pass Library is in a very vulnerable location, and to ensure the safety of our patrons and employees, we will implement the following procedures. We hope this does not affect your continued enjoyment of the library and these measures will be adjusted as we get into the rain season and better understand how the rain affects the area.

• If there is a 10% + chance of rain in the forecast, we may ‘wait and see’ before we open the building, and may be open for shortened hours.
• If it begins to rain during open hours, employees will determine if the library will close. This will be a case-by-case decision based on the rate of precipitation and National Weather Advisories.
• The decision may be made quickly and your full cooperation is appreciated.
• All patrons need to have adequate transportation to leave the area quickly.
• If conditions degrade quicker than closing can allow we will stay and shelter in the library until first responders come or weather conditions improve and roads are drivable.
• Staff will be keeping available holds longer, and will backdate materials to the last full day open.

We will do everything we can to ensure the community has continued access to PPLD services. The next two closest locations are Manitou Springs and Old Colorado City libraries. If you have any questions, please contact the Ute Pass Manager, Jocelyne Sansing at 719-531-6333 x2956.
