Unique Library is proud to announce the addition of MessageBee for St. Clair County Library this week. Patrons will receive notifications from the library via email and phone notifications, creating a new channel for their patrons.

Founded in 1917, SCCL was the first county library in Michigan and one of the earliest county libraries in the United States. The library has 11 branches in a county that borders Lake Huron and Canada.

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.

Key features of MessageBee include:

• Simple design interface: The drag-and-drop email editor makes it easy for anyone to become a marketing expert.
• Multiple language support: Send emails and phone messages in either Spanish or English, or whatever the patron indicates on their ILS profile.
• Superior Deliverability: Unique is on the cutting edge of patron notifications, and our notifications offer an upgrade on deliverability vs ILS-generated notifications.

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.
