Through the SHARE automated library system you can choose to be notified by e-mail when items you\u2019ve placed on hold become available and when items are overdue. Please note: if you choose to receive notices via e-mail, you will no longer receive notifications by phone. Once you sign up, please add sirsi@notices.sharelibraries.info<\/a> to your address book so that the notices will go directly to your inbox rather than spam. Your e-mail address will not be shared with third parties. Call the library or stop in and talk with a librarian to change your contact information to a current e-mail address.<\/p>\n

You may access your online account only after you have logged in to the SHARE online library catalog.

Click \u201cLog In\u201d at the top of the screen to enter your card number and PIN.
