Pikes Peak Library District (PPLD) is excited to bring you Virtual Author Visits in partnership with the Library Speakers Consortium. Join us and hear from bestselling authors and thought leaders on a range of topics, from puzzling science to epic fantasy to decluttering your home. Whether you are an avid or occasional reader, there is nothing quite like listening to insightful talks by authors you have read or new ones you are just discovering. You never know what will catch your interest. Attend these events at no cost from the comfort of home.
In March, join us on Wed., March 12 at noon for an enlightening conversation with bestselling author Dan Heath as he talks with us about his newest book, Reset: How to Change What’s Not Working. Changing how we work can feel overwhelming. It can feel like trying to budge an enormous boulder. We are stifled by the gravity of the way we have always done things. We spend so much time fighting fires—and fighting colleagues—that we lack the energy to shift direction, but with the right strategy, we can move the boulder. Register for the access link.
Then, on Thu., March 20 at noon, you are invited to a riveting conversation with award-winning journalist and author Clara Bingham as she chats with us about her new book, The Movement: How Women’s Liberation Transformed America, 1963 - 1973. This engaging history traces women’s awakening, organizing, and agitating between 1963 and 1973 when a decentralized collection of people and events coalesced to create a spontaneous combustion.

For the last Virtual Author Visit in March, join us on Wed., March 26 at 5 p.m. for a conversation with New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Weiner as we talk about the emotional depth of her books that have been inspiring readers toward self-discovery for decades. Hearing from the queen of fun herself as we chat with the author about her bestselling novels, Good In Bed, In Her Shoes, Big Summer, The Breakaway and many more. Register for the access link.
