With the Library’s new Shoutbomb text messaging service, you can use your mobile phone to …

  • Receive text notices about: holds that are available, items that are due soon, overdues, and fines.
  • Send a text to renew a loan. (Renewable items only.)
  • Send an ISBN to check whether a book is in the library.

The Library does not charge a fee for this service, but your mobile plan’s regular text-messaging rates apply.

What You Need

  • A mobile phone and wireless service that can send text messages to an email address.
  • The barcode number from your Fountaindale Library card, and the PIN for your library account.

Signing Up

To get started, text the message:

Once your Shoutbomb registration has been completed, you will automatically get text notices about holds to pick up, items that are due soon, overdue items, and fees. A text will be sent only when activity on your account triggers a message.
