E-Mail Notification

• Email due date reminders are sent out two days before your books are due
• Email holds pickup notices will allow approximately five days for your item to be picked up
• The library will not give out your e-mail address
• Some Internet providers screen junk mail – add circstaff@urbandale.org  to your safe list of addresses
• Please do not reply to the circstaff email address, as it is used for sending only and replies are automatically deleted and are NOT read
