Pre-Overdue Notices

 

The Shelton Library System now has the capability to send pre-overdue reminders for all items that are checked out through our integrated library system. Three days before an item is due, you will receive an email if we have your email in our system. Every member with an email currently in our system was automatically signed up for this service. If you wish to stop receiving these emails, please contact either library for assistance. New members will have the option of signing up for the service when they receive their cards.
