Email Notifications
Because of patron demand, we will begin offering email notifications of when items are almost due. If you receive interlibrary loan notifications by email now, you will automatically begin to receive notifications of when your items are almost due starting May 25. The reminder will arrive in your email box 3 days before the item is due.
Regrettably, there is no ability for patrons to “opt out” of this service if they do not wish to receive these reminders. If you do not wish to receive email reminders, you will have to go back to being a telephoned patron.
Our Support of E-books & E-audios
Libraries in the Southern Adirondack Library System were asked to contribute at least 2% of their materials budget or up to $1,000, to help support the development of the downloadable e-book and e-audio collection. Our library has opted to contribute $1,000 towards this important initiative. The collection is available at salon.sals.edu.
