Library Notices Sent by E-Mail

If you have an e-mail address in your patron record, library notices will be sent to you by e-mail rather than on paper. This includes courtesy notices (sent two days before items are due), overdue notices (sent on a schedule set by the library) and notices sent when requested items are ready for pick-up.

If you prefer not to receive any notices by e-mail, you should remove your e-mail address from your library record. You can log in to the catalog to do this yourself, or have your library staff do this for you. If you have no e-mail address on file, you will not receive courtesy notices, and overdue and pick-up notices will be sent by postal mail. (Some libraries use the phone to notify people that items are ready for pick-up.) Bills for the replacement cost of material that is long overdue are always sent by postal mail.

Unfortunately, there is no way for you to configure which notices you want to receive by e-mail. If you prefer not to receive courtesy notices but want to receive other notices by e-mail, you may be able to set your e-mail program to filter out messages with the Subject line: Library Reminder – Items Due in 2 Days

Here are the instructions for doing so in some popular email programs:

Thunderbird | GMail | Yahoo! Mail | Hotmail | Outlook_Express

If you use another email system, you can consult the documentation for instructions for filtering email messages by subject.
