I live in Loveland I don't come to Colorado Springs very often is there a way to get the library card maild to me

lwallace replied on

Yes, you can get an out-of-district library card and you will have access to some PPLD services, including CyberShelf. You can apply for a temporary card online. Before your temporary card expires in 10 days, please visit any Pikes Peak Library District location and show a picture ID and proof of current address. You will then receive your permanent library card. If you set up an Overdrive account with your temporary card, to access ebooks online, be sure to let us know when you come in to get your permanent card. Happy reading!

Every time I try to download a new eBook that has finally become available, it defaults to Overdrive. I want all my eBooks in Kindle format. How can I do this?

Melissa S replied on

Sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues downloading your ebooks. Ebooks in the OverDrive catalog are available in several format; OverDrive Read and Kindle being two of those available formats. Not all titles in OverDrive will be available in all of the available formats. The titles that you have checkout through OverDrive may not be available in the Kindle format. How you can specifically find titles that are only in the Kindle format is by doing an Advanced Search and selecting the Kindle format.
If you have any other questions please call or visit the CyberDesk at Library21c, 719-884-9800 x6300

I Took out some movies and I haven't have the time to watch. Today Was my second Time To click Renew and Its said that my new due date is 12/23/16 but on the bottom Its said that the renewal limit has been reach. I AM Confuse. Does that means I Have until the 23 to returned and cant not renew anymore, or do I Have to returned today 12/16 to not be over due?

What are the requirements of checking out cameras for projects, 21c? Is there a waiting period? Also, what is the time period between renewals? Thank you in advance

Camera, lighting, and audio equipment checkouts are handled through Studio 21c. The first step is to take the Studio Orientation class which will answer all of your questions regarding the space and its equipment. You can find our class offerings here: http://ppld.org/c3/studio/classes. An additional Camera and Lighting class is required to check out our professional-level video equipment.

The equipment can be reserved for up to seven days. Reservations must be made at least seven days in advance. Three items can be checked out per reservation request and only one reservation request can be made at a time.

Maura replied on

Is there a way to look up online if you have a certain DVD available

Barefield replied on

Please forward this question to the correct PPLD department...
Charles Dicken's Little Dorrit DVD #173086489 is 4 DVDs and just under 500 hours. It is an older DVD but is not set up for 14 Days borrowing like newer DVDs, i.e, 178294641 Broadchurch - approx. 410 hours.
When I borrow Little Dorrit I never get through it in less than a week and someone else reserves it.
Can it be changed to 14 days?
