Pre-Overdue

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.
