Notification Messaging Terms and Conditions
The library occasionally contacts registered patrons via SMS or text messaging. Personal information will not be shared with third parties for marketing purposes or any other reason outside the library’s scope of sending text or SMS messages. The types of messages the library may send include account notifications, such as overdue and hold notices. Message and data rates may apply. Patrons may opt in/out of text notifications by selecting their notification preference in their online account or notifying a library staff member. For assistance with managing text notifications, or for questions regarding messages, patrons can reply by texting "HELP" or by contacting the library at (765) 778-7527. Failure to receive a library account notice does not waive patron responsibility for the timely return of library materials.
