If you wish to receive email alerts for books with upcoming due dates or for overdue notices, PPLS wants to make you aware of an available service, Elf. Elf  is a "personal email library reminder service". It allows patrons to create an account, which must include your library card barcode and your PIN (which is normally the last four digits of your telephone number). Once you have an account, you can instruct the site to email reminders of books with upcoming due dates. The site provides some additional functions, such as checking your account for hold items, seeing the status of the book you currently have out, etc. Elf also includes text-messaging options. Please note: Elf is a third-party web service. Plano Public Library cannot provide technical assistance regarding Elf, and makes no guarantees as to the accuracy of Elf's information or services. Likewise, we cannot guarantee the security or privacy of information you submit to Elf.
