MANITOU SPRINGS — The Manitou Springs Library will be closed temporarily starting Friday, according to the Pikes Peak Library District (PPLD).
The temporary closure is so staff can prepare to move it back to its original location in Manitou Springs. It moved from the Carnegie Library to the Manitou Springs Library in March 2021 because of ADA compliance issues with the historic building.
