Get Library Notifications
Due to a major IT infrastructure project to upgrade and modernize the Library’s Integrated Library System (ILS), our notifications will be changing. More information will be available on this page soon.
To learn more about the ILS project – which will improve the Library’s central platform for managing collections, checkouts, patron accounts, and other services – visit our blog.

Account Email Notifications
If you have an email address linked to your Library card, you will receive these notices:
- Due date and overdue item notifications
- Holds ready for pickup notifications
- Lost item and billing notifications
- Other important account information
Emails are available in multiple languages. Contact us to update your language preference.
SMS Text Notifications
You can also sign up to receive your Library notices by text message. Due to our planned system upgrade, we are changing our text notification system. We will have more information to share soon about how to sign up for the new text notifications.
Phone Notifications (TeleCirc)
Our Telephone Circulation System (TeleCirc) will be unavailable during our planned system upgrade. Visit our blog to learn more about the project.
Library Elf
Library Elf is being discontinued on September 14. This is due to new federal accessibility requirements taking effect in 2027 that the service is unable to meet.
This means that pre-due and hold notices from Library Elf will no longer be available. We will introduce new notification options after our planned system upgrade in September.
To check on your loans and holds, please log into your account online or in the mobile app.
