at the Pueblo Library - Rawlings Branch on October 24th, 2025 at 6:30 PM.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Council supported the Book Lovers Ball in 2017 for $800, and in 2024 for $1,750.
BACKGROUND:
City Council Member Brett Boston is requesting $2,000 to sponsor the Pueblo Library
Program will take place throughout the summer of 2025, and the Book Lovers Ball will be
held on October 24th, 2025 at 6:30 PM.
Reading books during the summer can kick-start learning, boost test scores, build
motivation and confidence all while encouraging the joy of reading. Sponsorship helps
support their mission of encouraging the joy of reading, supporting lifelong learning and
presenting access to information from around the world.
Proceeds from the Book Lovers Ball support the All Pueblo Reads program, promoting
literacy and learning in our community. All Pueblo reads provides books to students in
Pueblo schools, hosts free activities at all eight library branches, and brings a celebrated
author for a free public talk in addition to the Book Lovers Ball.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Payment of funds in the amount of $2,000 would be paid from the Council Contingencies
Account in the 2025 General Fund Budget to The Pueblo Library District.
