All Pikes Peak Reads: Author Rosemary Mosco
2025-10-01 10:00 - 11:00
Pikes Peak Library District (PPLD) has announced their 2025 selections for All Pikes Peak Reads, its annual community reading program. This year, the Library District has returned to choosing one book for each age group as it has done in the past. The four selections include:
Fuzz by Mary Roach (adult)
Cold the Night, Fast the Wolves by Meg Long (teen)
Little Monarchs by Jonathan Case (juvenile)
Butterflies Are Pretty…Gross! By Rosemary Mosco (juvenile)

All Pikes Peak Reads provides residents with a unique opportunity to feel connected with their community by reading the same book together. The annual program focuses on celebrating literature, improving community connections, and fostering dialogue across social, cultural, and generational lines. Each year, PPLD selects titles that focus on timely topics and plans a variety of community-wide programs and activities to pair with the book. This year’s titles all relate to nature, whether it is exploring the surprising world of butterflies, surviving in the winter wilderness, learning about monarch butterfly migration, or reading about human-wildlife interactions.
You may also join Pikes Peak Library District as they welcome this year’s authors to discuss their books during in-person or virtual author visits. Visits will be followed by an audience Q&A. At in-person visits, the author will be available for book signing following the Q&A, and books will be available for purchase during the event from Poor Richard’s Books & Gifts.
Registration is suggested for the in-person events but not required. When you register for one of the virtual events, you will receive an email with the link to access the event. Visit https://ppld.org/appr to register for these discussions:
