A Message From the Past Present (or was it Participle?)

I got an email tonight from the Iowa City Public Library. It was about a new service where they'll send you an email when the materials you checked out are about to become overdue. I have to say that it felt quite nice to get an email from Iowa City, even if it was entirely meaningless. How I wish I could say that I had materials about to be overdue to the Iowa City Public Library!
