How will the Library contact me?
You have three choices for receiving notices about your Library account:

Why does the Library prefer to e-mail notices?
E-mail is fastest, saves the Library money and saves paper.
To begin receiving e-mail notices:
- Update your account
- Ask at any Library location
- Call Borrower Services at 206-386-4190.
- End of list
Why am I not getting my e-mail notices?
Many e-mail services (such as Hotmail, Yahoo, EarthLink and AOL) have settings that can stop you from receiving e-mail notices from the Library. These settings may place e-mail notices in your spam or junk mail folder and not deliver them to your in-box. Please make sure your spam or junk mail folder is set to accept messages from notices@spl.org. Check the Help section on your e-mail provider's Web site for more information.
Can I get RSS feeds from the Library?
RSS - which stands for Really Simple Syndication - is another quick way to get information about your account.
If you have an RSS reader you can:
- Keep track of items you have checked out and when they are due
- Know when items you have placed on hold are ready for pick up
- Receive alerts when new items on favorite topics or authors become available
- End of list
