Event Details

Looking to connect with others from the community?  Pikes Peak Library District is hosting an ongoing pen pal program for adults over age 18.  The participating locations are:

  • Cheyenne Mountain Library
  • Fountain Library
  • Rockrimmon Library
  • Ute Pass Library

Participants may register online or with PPLD staff; pen pals will be randomly assigned with someone at their preferred library location. Pen pals may use the above library locations as a drop-off point for handwritten letters and postcards (pen pals are free to exchange addresses to have mail delivered directly).  After a quarantine period, staff will notify the intended recipients that they have mail to pick up.  All pen pals assume responsibility for the contents of their own correspondence and communication.

Each pen pal participant will receive a starter kit with stationery, envelopes, postcards, a pen, and tips on how to get started. Those wishing to change or request additional pen pals may do so after a period of one month.

Registration required for this free program.
