Online Time SaverFor many of us we are continually on a quest to or-ganize, de-clutter, de-stress, streamline, downsize, refocus. All of which will equal time saved and enable us to partake of the things that really matter in life. Clearview Library District can help you to organize your library account while you’re on the go. Visit the website at Clearviewlibrary.org to manage your account. Using your library card barcode and pass-word (which can be set when you visit the library) log in to your account. From there you can view which
items are checked out, when your items are due and renew them if needed. On the website you can also look items up, place holds, request an InterLibrary Loan and pay fines. Need to know when storytime is, what time the library closes or where the Book Mobile will be? Simply check the website. Whether you’re at work, at home or on the go with your cell phone, we make it easy to organize your library needs. Then you’ll have more time for the things that you love to do.
