Let’s say you’ve searched the Swampscott Public Library catalog, and you’re viewing the record for a book you want. You could:

* Print it out, which is a waste of paper and toner
* Get a scrap of paper, find a pencil buried somewhere, write down the call number and hope you don’t misplace it
* OR Use our new feature for texting this information to your cellphone or BlackBerry

Simply click on the Send via Text Message button, enter your 10-digit number (no dashes), select your carrier, and click on the Send to Phone button. The message will contain all the information you need to retrieve the book at the Swampscott Public Library. You can even send the message to a friend or family member.

Carrier charges may apply. Happy texting.
