The Library Elf

You can now register with Library Elf to track your library account. Using Library Elf, an Internet-based tool from an independently run company, you can receive email and/or RSS feed reminders about when your items are due for return and requested titles that are ready for pick-up. You can even track all family library cards on the one account!

How do I get reminders from Library Elf?Because Library Elf comes from a third party you will need to visit their site to create your account. We recommend that you read Library Elf's privacy policy and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).

You will need to provide your Campbelltown Library card number (the number under the barcode on the front of your card) along with your account PIN. Once you are signed up for an account, you can choose to receive email reminders and/or RSS feeds for all of the cards you attach to your account. Email reminders are sent in HTML format only.

What about fines on overdues?
Library Elf reminders do not include any information regarding overdue fines. You will need to check with Campbelltown Library directly for details on fines. Contact us by phoning or visiting any branch, e-mailing library@campbelltown.nsw.gov.au or logging on to our online catalogue.
Please note that you are still responsible for any overdue fines even if you do not receive a reminder via Library Elf. Please see the Campbelltown Library membership page.

Can I renew my items using Library Elf?
No. While Library Elf will tell you when your books are due, you can only renew items by phoning Campbelltown Library or by renewing online via our online catalogue (My Details).

NOTE ON RSS FEEDS: If you receive your RSS feeds through a web-based aggregator such as Bloglines, Feedster, and Yahoo, your feeds might be viewable by the general public even if your account is marked "Private". This is due to the nature of web-based RSS feeds, and is not due to a security failure by the Campebelltown Library or Library Elf. This privacy issue does NOT exist for RSS aggregators which are installed on your own PC, ONLY for web-based services. Learn more about RSS and view a list of aggregators/RSS readers that can be installed on your PC or are built-in to a browser to ensure your privacy.
