With their student ID, every student in Academy District 20 has exclusive access to a library card called PowerPass. PowerPass offers students greater access to digital and on-demand resources to learn and play at any location in the Pikes Peak Library District (PPLD) or at the Mobile Library. With PowerPass, students can check-out up to five physical items.
With PowerPass, students can get:
Online homework help and foreign language tutoring
Audiobooks, eBooks, and comic books
Digital movies and music
Driving tests
Practice SAT tests and college prep courses
Job and resume coaching
Makerspaces, 3D printers, gaming centers
Get Started
Before signing up for PowerPass, ask your school's librarian for a student pin number.
Go to PPLD’s login website.
In the "Library Card" box, type "asd" + student ID number. This is their Library Card number. Example: asd12345
Enter your student’s pin number. It is a random 8-digit number provided by their school.
After logging in, the student can change their pin. The new pin number may be between 4-10 characters using letters, numbers, or both.
If your child forgets their pin, the “Forgot My Password” link will send a reset link to the student’s D20 email (6digitID@msa.asd20.org) unless they have previously updated the email address associated with their PPLD PowerPass account.
Already have a PPLD library card? You can have both! Either one of these supports learning with public library resources.
Parent Controls
If a parent does not wish for their student to use PowerPass, they can opt out by emailing us a request to remove the student's access. The email should include the student's first and last name and the student's 6-digit ID.
Visit the Student Agreements section in the Extended Parent Portal to approve/deny Young Adult (YA) Access. Please note that a “no” designation for YA access removes all access to SORA, a digital reading platform used at D20 schools, not just YA material. After 48 hours, have your student sign out and back into SORA to verify access has been removed should you select a "no" designation for your student.
