A researcher filed a request under the Colorado Open Records Act, seeking communications between Pikes Peak Library District (PPLD) leaders & property managers of properties leased by PPLD. It estimated the request would require some 613,000 hours to process with a fee exceeding $25 million.

ICYMI: A records requester was "shocked" to get a $25,000 cost estimate from a library district, but she had misread the email. The estimate was $25 million. "It's just crazy, crazy, obviously crazy."

The bill from the Pikes Peak Library District in El Paso County wasn’t $25,000. It was $25 million. More precisely, it was $25,377,971.43.

Looking for some carving inspiration this season? Here are some literary jack-o-lanterns to fan the flame of your creativity.

Three glowing jack-o-lanterns carved by a member of PPLD staff. One features the words "Read a Good Booook," one features the Library District's logo, and one features the face of Frankenstein's monster. A closeup of the pumpkin with the PPLD logo. Two eyes have been carved above the logo so that the logo looks like the mouth of a face. A closeup of the pumpkin that says "Read a good boooook."
