New Services in PL Book-tique

The PL Book-tique will implement the following services to help you manage your school library account and loans:

Email notifications for your loans (tentatively from 7 Apr 2025)

1. You will receive a loan-due reminder 3 days before your loan is due.

2. If your loan is overdue by 1 day, 7 days or 30 days, you will receive an Overdue notification.

Loan Renewal via the Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC)
You may renew a loan item (which is not due yet) via the OPAC.

Reservation of an item through the OPAC
You may reserve a library item (which is currently on loan to another library user) via the OPAC.

We hope you will find the above services helpful, and it will reduce the occurrence of overdue loans and library fines.

Warmest Regards
PLMGS(Sec) Librarian
