Text Message Alerts for Ocean State Libraries' Cardholders
With the library's text alert service, you can use your mobile phone to: Signing Up:
- Receive text notices about holds that are available, items that are due soon, and overdue items.
- Send a text to renew an item (if the item is eligible for renewal)
- Add family members’ cards to your account with keyword ADDCARD.
The library does not charge a fee for this service. Your mobile plan's regular text messaging rates apply.
Signing Up:
To get started, text the keyword SIGNUP from your cellphone texting app to 833-403-1353.
Reply to the prompts, asking for your library card number, then PIN. Once your registration has been completed, you will automatically get text notices about holds to pick up, items that are due soon, and overdue items. A text will be sent only when activity on your account triggers a message, or information is requested.
Why is my library PIN required?
To protect your privacy and library account, your PIN is required when signing up for text alerts. This is the same PIN used for logging into your online library account.
