Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) is dedicated to supporting our maker community in their creative process by providing shared space, shared tools, materials and a knowledge base to turn their ideas into reality.

We provide a small collection of books and magazines for members to borrow. Our collection will be expanding again soon, with more electronics books. We may also implement a checkout system at that time.

Also our library has a cool metal sign that was made on our Zing laser engraver years ago.
