Library Elf

• Do you want to reduce overdues?
• Do you want to track the books and DVDs all your children have checked out on all their various cards?
• How about a text message alerting you that a hold is available?
• Would you like an email reminder before an item becomes overdue?

Library Elf may be for you!

Elf is a web–based and email tool for library users to keep track of their library borrowings. Elf provides:

• Email and/or RSS alerts before items are due.
• Email and/or RSS alerts on overdues and holds.
• A consolidated list of your and/or your family's library loans, holds and overdues.
• Cell phone text message alerts for holds (most US carriers).
• Real–time account status via your browser.
