Library Elf


The Hooksett Library has partnered with a new service, Library Elf, to help patrons manage their library accounts. Library Elf is an Internet-based tool for keeping track of what's due, overdue and ready for pickup. Patrons can keep track of one or more library accounts in one place and receive reminders before books or videos are due. Reminders are sent when the user wants them -- up to seven days advance notice, weekly notice or everyday reminders. Elf is ideal for families with multiple cards or anyone who'd like reminders before an item is due. Elf can also send reminders via RSS feeds, and can send hold notice alerts to your cell phone.
Click here to access Library Elf and sign up for this helpful service! Security note: Using Library Elf does require giving up a small degree of privacy, since the service will need to know your library card number and PIN number. If this concerns you, don't use the service.
