How We Use Information

The Library conducts promotional campaigns to inform the community of our services. The Library uses customer e-mail addresses for the Library’s internal mailing lists. If you do not wish to receive these emails from the Library, you may unsubscribe by clicking “unsubscribe” at the bottom of the email.

Email addresses and phone numbers are used to send notification of reserved materials, overdue materials, and for the purpose of renewing your library card.
