A library in Guthrie County is making it easier for them to communicate with their community members.
Mary J. Barnett Memorial Library Director Jeri Hawkins says they are establishing a two way texting system called “Text With A Librarian:Gabbie,” so people don’t have to physically show up at the library to renew their books. Hawkins explains she has been pleased with this system so far.
“It also lets us know, Hey, your books were overdue. Do you want us to renew them? Do you need them a little longer? It’s just a nice way. And we can also communicate about events coming up. If you’re a participant in our mommy, me, we can send you a notice if somebody’s sick or something. It’s just a really nice way for us to communicate a little easier with our patrons.”
