Little folks, look at the windows to spot special stories just for you during walks downtown with your grown-ups.
It’s called Stroll-a-Story and you can read them with your parents or grandparents or older brothers and sisters. Or the kiddos can read on their own while the taller folks do some window shopping.
The Pikes Peak Library District project promises fun stories in the windows and at Penrose Library.
Little readers can share with the library which stories they liked by posting on Facebook @PPLDKids.
One story is in windows along the North Route Downtown Stroll: Rasta Pasta, Kreuser Gallery, Josh & John’s, Poor Richard’s/Rico’s, Halo Boutique, Eclectic Co., Title Nine, The Candy Bar, Sparrow Hawk Cookware, Escape Velocity Comics, Yobel Market, Local Honey Collective and also at the Penrose Library

MANITOU SPRINGS â A major partnership between the Manitou Arts Center and the Pikes Peak Library District is official.
The library held a grand opening Friday for its new location inside the Manitou Arts Center.
The partnership is a result of space opening up and the library needing to address ADA issued that had causes some concern at the old location. They have things that we could only dream of, and a chance to offer that to the public, anyone with a PPLD card, that s what important to us. Anyone that wants to learn, build, grow, try something new, it s free, Chief Librarian John Spears said.
The Pikes Peak Library District is releasing the latest installment in its Regional History book series, an updated version of Invisible People of the Pikes Peak Region by John Stokes Holley, that chronicles key Black figures in the area s history.
The March 11 release will be a virtual event hosted by the library district and its Special Collections team led by the book’s co-editors, Heather Jordan and Takiyah Jemison.
At 478 pages, the new volume is more than twice the size of the 1990 original. It contains all the original text of Holley’s book, plus an index, additional photographs, new chapters, and more.
