Imagination library of the Pikes Peak Region

The Story Continues!

When El Paso County’s Imagination Library faced closure, the Pikes Peak Early Literacy Foundation answered the call. We are officially in the process of taking over the program to ensure our community’s youngest readers don’t lose access to their monthly books.

Putting books in the hands of thousands of local children requires strong community backing. As we navigate this transition, your support matters more than ever. [Donate Today to Support the Transition / Join Our Mailing List for Updates]

We understand that Big dreams begin with First books.
