Standard Library Cards

All MFRL library cards for all patron types (excluding ONLINE) for which we have an eMail address are sent notices that their library card privilege will expire soon.

Notices are sent on Monday mornings, and are sent to patrons with cards expiring in approximately one month (28 to 34 days in the future). Email is the only method of delivery.

Generally, expired cards remain in the system for a minimum of one year after expiring. Expired cards are usually purged from the system during the July that follows the card's one year anniversary of being expired.

Example 

Monday, August 10, 2020

          John McSpiring
          456 Expiring Lane
          Pilot VA
          24138

Hello, 
Your MFRL library card will expire in approximately one month.  Circulation privileges, as well as access to other MFRL services 
(public computer use, downloadable eBooks, and more) will cease at that time.  Please call your branch, or stop by any branch of 
the Montgomery-Floyd Regional Library to renew your card for another two years.  Questions?  Contact us at www.mfrl.org.

ONLINE Library Cards

Online card Privilege expiring soon notices are sent on Wednesday mornings. These notices are sent to ONLINE cards that expire during the following week.

Expired Online profile cards are purged from the system on the Wednesday of the week after the card expires. Cards are not purged if there is an active hold for a physical item on the account.

This notice currently has a Covid related message embedded in it.
