With the recent upgrade to the latest version of our specialized library software, our users now have several new and exciting options.

We all hate to waste paper. If you prefer, we can now set you up to receive your checkout slips with titles and due dates via email. On your next visit to the library, please let us know if you’d like to do this. We save on paper, and you can always refer back to your phone (or computer) to see what you have checked out and when it is due.

Speaking of when items are due, for years you have been able to sign up for email notifications - what we call a “friendly reminder” - that is emailed out two days before materials are due. Now we will be offering automatic renewals of materials that are not returned by their due date. Materials will renew for the same time of their initial loan period: three weeks for most materials and two weeks for new adult fiction titles. Automatic renewals will not occur for any materials that are on hold or on reserve for other library customers. If you are interested in automatic renewals, please let us know. We must have an email address for you to be able to do this.

If you haven’t looked at our new online catalog and your account at https://www.earlibrary.org/  please do so. We think you will find it much easier to navigate. Save this address to your bookmarks tab on your browser for easy access. You even have the option to change the language of the catalog to Spanish or French. 

These are just some examples of the highlights of our new system. Take a few moments to click around and check it out. We really think you're going to like it!
