The Valley Cottage Library will now use email to notify patrons of items that have arrived for them or of their overdue items.
Many people share email addresses among family members.
We do not recommend that shared email addresses be used to communicate library information. While the US Mail offers a federally-enforced guarantee of confidentiality of mail, there is no such guarantee of confidentiality for email communications. Although we consider our email traffic to be reasonably secure, we cannot offer a guarantee that information is confidential once it travels through the Internet. If a notice can not be delivered, print notification will be made instead. If there is a pattern of undeliverable email, you will be removed from this service and notified only by telephone.
