Free Resources for Survivors at the Local Library

Thursday October 29, 2026 10:15am - 11:15am MDT

Learn about the wide range of free services available for domestic violence survivors at the Pikes Peak Library District. You may already be familiar with our books and children’s programming, but did you know that library patrons get $7 of free printing per week that can help with printing court forms or evidence documentation? Or that there are free study rooms that people can book to attend virtual court hearings? Or that the children’s area is a safe place for custody exchange. The library also offers free GED, ESL and citizenship classes for survivors to gain more independence. Patrons can meet with a career navigator who can assist with updating their resume and searching for jobs. Additionally, the library has a legal research collection, free legal research help, and classes to assist survivors navigating the court system. You can also learn more about starting up a business or non-profit organization for ways to plan a path going forward. Our Community Resource Librarians can also help you connect with other organizations and services in our community in order to find housing support, food resources, and more. And that is just the tip of the iceberg! This session will give attendees a better understanding of important resources that domestic violence survivors can access at their local library.
