Unique Library is proud to announce the addition of MessageBee notifications for Branch District Library this week. The six-branch system is adding SMS notifications for Hold and pre-overdue notices.

Branch District Public Library has been a valued member of the Unique family for over 25 years, adding MessageBee to their already existing New Mover and Data Services subscription.

MessageBee is a powerful and customizable messaging tool that offers numerous features, making it an essential asset for libraries looking to enhance their communication strategies. Easily understandable SMS notifications made MessageBee a great choice for Branch District. MessageBee also integrated well with Evergreen, the library's ILS.

Key features of MessageBee include:

  • SaaS Email and SMS service: Our SMS and email notifications require no library-based equipment. We handle the back end, so libraries can focus on their patrons.
  • Superior Deliverability: Unique is on the cutting edge of SMS-based notifications. Our 10-DLC compliant notifications are an upgrade on traditional email-to-SMS in deliverability and clarity.
  • Customizable email templates: Our set-and-forget email notifications make attractive messaging easy as ever. Once the template design is finalized, MessageBee automatically sends notifications to your patrons.

About MessageBee

MessageBee has three different ways to communicate with your patron base. SMS alerts get in front of more of your patrons with simple and understandable messaging. Email takes boring and confusing ILS-generated email notifications and turns it into a patron engagement tool with a simple drag-and-drop design. Phone notifications cater to your patrons that prefer the personal touch of a recorded or voice-to-text phone messages.


Summary: Unique Library announced the addition of MessageBee notifications for Branch District Library this week. The six-branch system is adding SMS notifications for Hold and pre-overdue notices. Branch District Public Library has been a valued member of the Unique family for over 25 years, adding MessageBee to their already existing New Mover and Data Services subscription.
