Gentle Reminder

Another reason why I love the library. Recently, the National Library has gone one step further to enhance Library experience. Sms and email reminders on due dates of borrowed books. Emails are sent to borrowers 3 days before due and then daily till the borrowed item is returned. It's the school holiday periods with double the quantity of books allowed, sometimes a book is inadvertently leftout when returning. I have seen mothers pushing books filled trolley during the school holidays. A family of 4 with each borrowing 8, it's alot of reading.
