Get Your Notices By Email

I am so excited! We are moving up in the world! Now, not only can you login to the card catalog and access your account from home, you can also get emails reminding you to login and renew your books. Currently on the card catalog you can request items, renew items, check the status of your holds, and check to see if you have any fines or notes on your card. Now, as long as you registered for your card at Auburndale or a participating location, you can also get pre-overdue notices, overdue notices, or hold notifications through email. A pre-overdue notice sends you a reminder 3 days before your books are due. Overdue notices let you know that you are accumulating fines. Hold notices let you know if an item is waiting for you to pick-up. If this sounds like something you would like, just let us know and with a few clicks of the mouse, ta-day, it is done! I believe we have come a long way from the where our technology was 16 years ago when I started working here, but, that's another story for another day.
