If you have the ability to update the database I'd suggest writing a
short sql script to be run on a daily basis that could add a patron
alert/note when the criteria are met (every second year following the
user create date).

We use the statistical categories editor with DETAILS CHECKED as the
main part and then a pick list eg MAY 13 so that comes up on the front
screen. Not the perfect solution but it works ok for us.

Our library board wants us to regularly (every 2 years) verify
with patrons that the telephone number, address etc., that we have
for them are correct. The only way I have been able to do this, so
far, is to set their “Privilege Expiration Date” to 2 years from
now. Unfortunately, when the Expiration Date arrives, all patron
privileges cease – patrons cannot renew items online, they cannot
sign ebooks out from Overdrive, etc., and they are notified that
their account has expired. This is like trying to hit a fly with a
sledge hammer. Is there another way of having a reminder pop up,
for staff to talk to the patrons, every two years, without
completely blocking patron privileges?____
