History:

In 2002, PPLD offered to house the El Paso County Bar Association’s law library, which had lost its home at the courthouse. The El Paso County Bar Law Library lived at Penrose Library from 2002-2010, providing legal research resources to both attorneys and the public. When the bar association decided to cease funding their law library in 2010, part of their collection was donated to PPLD, which continues to provide the public with free access to legal materials.
