New Hold Notification Is Here!

Do you get a phone call when your holds are ready to be picked up at the library? We will be using a new automated phone calling system, SirsiDynix Voice Automation (SVA). The system will be in service by the end of July. SVA is a convenient, automatic way for the library to notify you about holds. SVA also provides 24/7 telephone access to your account for a list of materials you have checked out or to renew your materials. You can also check if you have any overdue materials. To check on your account, you can call 847.590.8706. You may still sign up for email notification, if that is your preference. Sign up online at www.caryarealibrary.info and click on "Library Catalog."
