There are no overdue fines on most PPLD items. Books, audiobooks, movies, games, and music no longer accrue daily overdue fines. Items such as Hotspots, eReaders, and Laptops do still accrue overdue fines, however.
Items more than 21 days overdue are automatically billed to your account as lost materials.

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:
If you have any questions about this process, please contact Betty McDonald (bmcdonald@ppld.org) for grades K-5 or Cameron Riesenberger (criesenberger@ppld.org) for grades 6-12.
A field trip to a Pikes Peak Library District is a great way to show your students all of the wonderful resources PPLD has to offer to support their educational, social, and entertainment needs.
Tours are often combined with other activities, such as classes on how to use the PPLD catalog and research resources or Makerspace demonstrations (East, Sand Creek, and 21c Libraries only).
If you would like to schedule a tour, please contact Betty McDonald or Cameron Riesenberger to discuss your needs for a tour.
Pikes Peak Library District will visit your classroom for Booktalks, Resource Classes, and more. For more information on scheduling a visit to your class, CLICK HERE or on the Classroom Visits box on the left side of this page.
