Sending Messages

You can communicate with other library members by sending brief text messages. If you’re familiar with text messaging on your mobile phone, or instant messaging on your computer, you’ll understand how this feature works.

You can use this feature to engage others in conversations about titles you both enjoyed, or ask questions of others who have expertise in a particular area. For example, if you saw a summary that lead you to a book or movie you really enjoyed, you might want to send the author of the summary a quick message.
