New Reads
Metropolitan stories
by Christine Coulson

Hidden behind the Picassos and Vermeers, the Temple of Dendur and the American Wing, exists another world: the hallways and offices, conservation studios, storerooms, and cafeteria that are home to the museum's devoted and peculiar staff of 2,200 people—along with a few ghosts.
The infinite game
by Simon Sinek

The best-selling author of Leaders Eat Last explains the importance of recognizing the infinite dynamics of business and politics, revealing how leaders who embrace dynamic realities can build stronger, more innovative organizations. Illustrations
The End and Other Beginnings : Stories from the Future
by Veronica Roth

A collection of six short stories by the best-selling author of Divergent imagines future lands brimming with new technologies and beings, where in spite of advanced capabilities, people are forced to confront deeply troubling human problems. 200,000 first printing. Simultaneous and eBook.
I Wonder
by Kari Anne Holt

A diverse group of kids explore the world from their young perspectives, asking such thought-provoking questions as what clouds taste like, whether different vehicles speak the same language and whether their toys miss them when they are gone. Illustrations.

Get Real
When it comes to having difficult conversations, all you need is your Library.
At Pikes Peak Library District, you’ll find programs, spaces, and resources that foster conversation and civic engagement. These spaces and resources allow you and the rest of our community to talk about hard, timely topics together. We invest in creating these spaces because we know that when we talk to each other about controversial things, we can begin to see new perspectives and open our mind to broader possibilities. This fall, we ask you to take these steps to become better neighbors, friends, partners, and community members:
  • Challenge yourself.
  • Leave the safe echo chamber of your social media feed.
  • Have a real conversation about real topics with real people.
  • Make the choice to find your community, to talk about hard things, and to broaden your perspective.
  • Equip yourself to become a better member of the El Paso County community.
