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.
