Educator Resources

Pikes Peak Library District understands that it not always easy to get to the library.  We offer a Library Card Application for Schools that allows K-12 students to get library cards without having to visit the library.

Here's the Process:

1. Print out the library card application for each student. It is available HERE in English and HERE en Espanol.
2. If the students are 15 or younger, the application goes home to the parent to sign OR if the student is 16 or over they can fill it out and sign it.
3. The teacher or librarian looks at each application and signs it to make sure that all the information is on the application and that it is legible (to folks who don’t read students' handwriting for a living!).
4. Drop off the applications at a library location with "Attention: Children's Services - East Library" for grades K-5 or “Attention: Young Adult Services- East Library" for grades 6-12. It is helpful to have the applications in packets by class.
5. We will enter in the applications and issue or update cards.
6. When they are ready for pick up we will transfer them to a library that is convenient for you to pick them up. OR, we could bring them when we come if we have scheduled a visit to your classroom.

If you have any questions about this process, please contact Betty McDonald (bmcdonald@ppld.org) for grades K-5 or Mikaela Fortune (mfortune@ppld.org) for grades 6-12.
