TXT 4 Answers offered by WPL


Worcester Public Library has just started to offer TXT 4 Answers service, as a participant of InfoQuest TXT 4 Answers cooperative.

Please encourage your patrons to use the service. Here are the instructions:

Text 309-222-7740
Step 1: Enter WPL
Step 2: TXT your question

The service is free of charge, but standard text messaging rates do apply. Staffed by librarians from around the country, answers are sent to cell phones by librarians in 320 characters or less, or the equivalent of two 160-character text messages.

Feel fee to contact Ping at pschen@cwmars.org if you have any question.
