Susan emailed in the following tip:
A friend tipped me off to LibraryElf.com, and it’s made keeping track of our family’s library accounts so much easier!
Members of participating libraries can sign up for a Library Elf account and add each family member’s cards. Then email notifications are sent as desired; I’ve requested a summary each day. The notifications let me know which holds are ready for pick-up, what books are coming due soon, anything that’s overdue, etc…for each family member whose card I registered!
You can see the huge list of participating libraries here.
My librbary has an online site that I can log into to view this information. Also has an option to send emails before books are due, great feature!
My library just added wowbrary: It lets me know via email what new media has arrived!
I love Library Elf.
Yes! I love Library Elf! I would have so many fines without it.
Our old library (we moved recently) sent text messages. Our new library does the automatic email service. Love it!
My library does this for me. All they needed was my email address to link to our accounts.
Mine too. It’s the only way I can avoid the overdue fines. But I guess it’s useful for the very small libraries who aren’t online.
Wow I feel so lucky! My library does this already. Makes me smile!
