You asked, we listened! Shoutbomb is a service that helps you manage your library account via text messages — including renewals. In addition to receiving your library notifications via email, phone, or print, you now have the option to receive text message notifications. The library does NOT charge a fee for this service, but your cell phone plan’s regular text-messaging rates apply. |
