Wright Library now offers patrons the option of receiving notices by e-mail, RSS or text messaging. The Library has added this service by using the online e-mail reminder service, Library Elf. Elf is an Internet-based tool for keeping track of what’s due, overdue and ready for pickup. Users can keep track of one or more library accounts in one place and receive reminders (sometimes called pre-overdue or early notification). Notices are sent when the user wants them — before items are due (up to seven days advance notice, weekly notice or every day reminders). To sign up, go to www.library-elf.com, have your e-mail address, library card number and PIN ready, and follow the simple instructions. This service is free to the Library and to its patrons. Anyone with questions about the Library Elf system can call the library at (937) 294-7171.
Wright Memorial Public Library is located at 1776 Far Hills Avenue in Oakwood. Their web site is www.WrightLibrary.org.
