Come join us for the world premiere screening of Frozen to Death on Pikes Peak: A Cold Case Investigation – a Pikes Peak Library District Video Production Center film. (You can view the movie''s trailer above.)

Commemorating the 100th anniversary of the alleged deaths of Willis and Sallie Skinner, PPLD’s Kaitlin Hoke and Katie Rudolph will involve you in solving the mystery of a photo postcard labeled, “Frozen to Death on Pike’s Peak Aug. 21, 1911.”

Reservations are required for this free event. The 5 p.m. screening is now full. A second showing at 6 p.m. has been scheduled due to the high demand. Click here to register for the 6 p.m. screening or call 531-6333, x2253.

Vending machines aren’t just for convenient snacking anymore. In February, PPLD opened Library Express at 3337 Cinema Point in the First & Main Town Center. The facility is the first of its kind for the Library District – an un-staffed walk-in facility where patrons can satiate their literary and cinematic hunger by scanning their library card and selecting a tempting title.

The Library District was able to open the new facility at a minimal cost due to Nor’wood Development’s generous donation of the space (located near the entrance to Cinemark Theatre).

Patrons can check out up to two books and two DVDs from the vending machine at one time. Items can be returned to a bookdrop at Library Express, or at any of PPLD’s other library locations and bookdrops. The Library Express location also contains a computer kiosk where patrons can access the District’s Catalog and web resources.
