The Pikes Peak Library District, as a forum for the exchange
of ideas, is sponsoring a five-part series of panel discussions about
the topic of tolerance and intolerance in our community. The purpose of the discussion is two-fold: first to explore the various facets of the subject and how it is affecting our community; and second to summarize the issue from differing vantage points--and from these perspectives--learn ways to better understand and address the issues.
