Email Notification

If you give us an email address, you will receive email notifications when your requests are ready for pickup, and overdue notices when material is a certain number of days overdue. Otherwise you will be contacted by phone or mail.

All borrowers who receive RDPL email library notices will also get email reminders two days before items are due, so that they can return or renew their items before fines apply. Please note that failure to receive reminders from RDPL will not excuse borrowers from late charges.
