Third party services

There are a few services that you can use to help you manage your account. Please note that these are not provided by Christchurch City Libraries and may require that you give them access to your account information — if you do so it is at your own risk. We recommend that you read their terms of service carefully so that you understand the service.

Library Elf

Library Elf is a web-based service that you can use to help manage your account, by receiving email and/or RSS alerts before your items are due, and about overdues and holds. Multiple library cards can be tracked by Library Elf, allowing all of your family’s borrowing activity to be summarised into a single consolidated email.

Christchurch City Libraries has subscribed to Library Elf, allowing all borrowers to receive the premium service for free.

Library Elf is a third party service. This means that Christchurch City Libraries is not responsible for any services provided, and we recommend that you read their Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. You will be required to enter your library card number and PIN.
