What You're Supporting
HPLD Friends & Foundation are the non-profit branch of the High Plains Library District. We exclusively raise funds for HPLD. All of the funds raised by these events are dedicated to our funding priorities:
Programming
We want to ensure that patrons across the library District have access to diverse, educational, life-changing and community-building programming. We fund programs that range from workforce development to literacy.
Community Spaces
Our patrons deserve to have access to comfortable, and safe spaces for educational and community building library activities. We fund spaces that demonstrate longevity, are multi-purpose, and multi-generational.
Materials Sharing
Our libraries hold a wide variety of materials in the Collection. We want to uplift and support this fact by funding new, returning, or revitalized materials that require additional support to get off the ground.

FAQ
What is the difference between the two events?
The LINC event will feature catered food, beer and wine, more carnival games, and a trophy for the putt-putt winner. Erie is a briefer experience that is focused more on family fun. Light carnival snacks will be available at Erie.
Can one ticket get me into both events?
No. If you want to attend both events, you will need a ticket for each.
Do I need a library card to get in?
Nope! But the best way to support your library is to get a free library card.
If I can't make it, can I still support HPLD Friends & Foundation?
Of course! We welcome gifts all year long through our fundraising page: High Plains Library District Friends & Foundation | ColoradoGives.org
