September is Library Card Sign-up Month, and it’s a perfect time to sign up for your Pikes Peak Library District library card! Throughout September, anyone who signs up for a new library card will be entered to win a $200 SCHEELS gift card (PPLD employees and their immediate family are not eligible). A library card unlocks a world of potential, giving you access to resources for entertainment, learning, research, productivity, and more. Your toolkit isn’t complete without a library card if you’re thinking about starting a podcast, looking for meeting spaces for your small business, interested in 3D printing pieces for your games, testing out video games before adding them to your collection, or just feeding your reading habit.
Now is also the perfect time to share the joy of a child’s first library card. Having a library card gives children a sense of pride and responsibility and fosters their curiosity for learning and reading. A library card also unlocks access to books, homework help resources, live tutoring, research databases for schoolwork, learning kits and activities like robotics, and more! As an added bonus, anyone under age 18 signing up for a new library card in September will be entered to win a $200 SCHEELS gift card and will receive a commemorative pin and a gift certificate for a free children’s ice cream cone and Ferris wheel ride at SCHEELS.
To sign up for a library card, bring your photo ID with current address, or bring photo ID and proof of address (such as a utility bill) if your address on your ID is not current. Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian having the above listed information. You can also sign up on our website.
