Rockrimmon Library closure goes before Colorado Springs City Council
Nov 25, 2024
(COLORADO SPRINGS) — This week, Colorado Springs City Council will hear from the Pikes Peak Library District's (PPLD) Board of Trustees regarding the controversial decision to close the Rockrimmon Library on Dec. 1, 2024, due to a lack of funding.
Several City Council members are calling to push the closure back as the group, 'Save Rockrimmon Library' said City Council members Dave Donelson, Nancy Henjum, and David Leinweber signed a letter calling to postpone its closure.
Save Rockrimmon Library said people have pledged more than $50,000 to help keep the library open for at least another year until a more concrete plan can be drafted. The community is also pushing for an increased mill levy.
On Monday, Nov. 25 beginning at 9 a.m. PPLD's Board of Trustees will give a presentation to City Council regarding the closure.
