Did you know that you can now sign up to receive text notices for items on hold, due soon, or overdue?

Helen Plum Library is pleased to offer our patrons this text noticing service from Shoutbomb.com. When you sign up for this service, you will receive text messages about available holds, items due soon, and overdue items. You will receive renewal notices 3 days before your items are due, and can renew eligible items by replying to the text. These notices are in addition to the email or print notices you already receive from the Library. There is no charge for the Shoutbomb service, but your cell phone provider’s texting rates will apply.

Learn how to sign up for this new service here.
