Text Message Notices
EVPL offers the capability to send overdue, hold, and courtesy notices to your cell phone via a text message. How do you get started and opt-in?
Login to My Account, and then click on your name, then Contact Information. Scroll down to the Contact Information section and enter your 10 digit mobile phone number into Phone 1. Under Preferences, select Phone 1 from the dropdown for the number and set the Carrier to “EVPL Text”.
Texts come from 1.844.237.7377. To avoid these texts going to your SPAM/Junk folder, add 1.844.237.7377 to your Contacts. Standard text message rates will be applied by your cell phone carrier, depending on your plan.
*There may be up to a 24 hour delay for processing after opting in.
*Choosing to use the texting service does not change the email or phone notifications you have been receiving from the library. This service is an additional method of receiving notices.
