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 (PPLD) is proud to partner with schools to share valuable resources and services available to students, educators, and families.
Schools are welcome to request a visit from a PPLD librarian to the classroom or schedule a field trip to one of our 14 library locations.
Once a request is submitted, a PPLD librarian will follow up within one week. We kindly ask that all requests be submitted at least two weeks in advance to ensure proper scheduling and coordination.
Please submit your requests using the Educator Support form.
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.
If you have any questions about library cards for students, please fill out the Educator Support form. Select "Question for Librarian" in the Request Type section.
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 complete the Educator Request form and select "Tour of PPLD Library" from the Request Type section.
