Would you like a friendly reminder when your books, dvds, cds and other library materials are due? Many local libraries in the Mid-Hudson Library system, including Brewster, Patterson, Kent, Pawling and Reed Memorial are participating in the Library Elf system to help patrons keep track of their library materials.
The system is a Personal reminder service for library users to help them avoid library overdues with email alerts and offering text message alerts for holds.
Elf is an Internet-based tool for keeping track of what's due, overdue and ready for pickup. Users can keep track of one or more library accounts in one place and receive reminders (sometimes called pre-overdue or early notification). Reminders are sent when the user wants it -- before items are due (up to seven days advance notice, weekly notice or everyday reminders). For families or anyone who'd like reminders before an item is due (user-selectable number of days notice). If Elf is for you, sign up for an account.
