Event Details

The Friends of the Pikes Peak Library District will inaugurate a new series of programs, Meet the Author, at 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 17 at the East Library, 5550 N.  Union Blvd.  
Our first author Stewart Green, a Colorado Springs outdoorsman, writer and photographer, has written nearly 50 books on rock climbing, hiking and scenic byways all over the West, and particularly in Colorado, since 1977. His newest book is “Hiking Colorado’s Hidden Gems,” from Falcon Press.
 
His talk about fall color drives will include recommendations on the best regional routes to consider for leaf-peeping this autumn, and discuss some of the landmarks and historic features along the way.  

Green is a former Golden quill Award winner, an annual honor bestowed by the Friends. After his talk, he will have copies of his books for sale and will autograph them. 

Admission is FREE for Friends members, or $5 at the door for non-members. To join Friends in advance of the event, visit this link: https://ppld.org/friends/join
