How’s your memory?

Ever have trouble remembering when your library materials are due? We all need a little help sometimes remembering life’s little details. That’s why we are now sending all our patrons email courtesy notices to remind them two days before their library materials are due. Along with the notice is a link to our website where the materials may be renewed before it’s too late!

Just be sure we have your email address on file and we will automatically send you these handy reminders. Ask us to add the email address to your children’s accounts, too, and you can keep track of when their items are due.
