Q. Can I receive notices by text message?

BCPL can send text messages as an additional means of being notified of holds ready to be checked out, of items that will be overdue within 3 days, of items that are 7 and 14 days or more overdue and of unpaid fines attached to your library account. With this option you will receive a text message in addition to other means of notification.
