Last week our homeschool group had a dinner meeting and one of the moms mentioned an internet resource called Library Elf. It is a free service that sends email reminders any time you have upcoming library books due, overdue, or holds ready for pick-up. I signed up last week and really like it.

It is much easier than checking the online catalog and it's so nice to get a periodic reminder email in my inbox.

Just wanted to pass it along.

We use Library Elf (I call it Dobby) and it's wonderful! I get an email (I think daily) with books that are due within 3 days, 7 days, and 10 days. It lists all the books checked out on all 5 of our cards-it really saves me alot of time checking each card at the library's website.

We also use Library Elf and it is good for all your libraries, so one account will cover your entire family's cards at multiple libraries. (if that makes sense

)

I can't imagine how much money Library Elf saves me in Library fines! IT's a great tool!
