The Palm Beach County Library System offers a choice of three different methods for hold or overdue notification: e-mail, automated telephone or paper notices. If you have an e-mail account that you access regularly, why not choose e-mail?

E-mail notification is not only faster than a paper notice, and more informative than an automated telephone call, it also offers the added bonus of courtesy pre-due notices for material with 14-day or 28-day loan periods. These notices will arrive in your in-box a couple of days before your library materials are due to remind you to either renew them or bring them back to the library. If you have access to the Internet and your e-mail, you can log on from a computer anywhere and manage your library account.

E-mail notices remain in your in-box until you decide to delete them, unlike telephone messages which others can mistakenly erase. They also provide you with the title and the author of the item on hold or overdue.
