County Library and Information Service
Library ELF
Library ELF is a free* on-line service which:
-
notifies you by email when items you’ve borrowed from the library are due back soon – you can specify how many days in advance of the due date you’d like to be told. - lets you know immediately the items you’ve borrowed become overdue – you can choose to be reminded daily until you take them back
- tells you when an item you have requested from the library is ready for you to collect.
- consolidate your library accounts or those of your entire family.
Library Elf is a third party web-based service which helps library users keep track of their loans and hopefully avoid them becoming overdue. When you sign up for the free service, you can tell Elf to send you various email reminders before the items you have on loan reach their due date, or when they actually hit the date. It’s up to you how many reminders you receive and how far in advance of the due date they should start arriving.
Sign up for Library Elf
Go to the Library Elf website to find out more and follow the “Sign Up” link from the home page and fill in the details required.

* the free trial period, which includes all of the premium services, expires after six notices (or three weeks, which ever is longer). The free service will continue at the basic service level.
