Libraries are getting a boost with some exciting new features in LibCal! Say hello to customizable event flyers and handy SMS notifications, designed to streamline your event planning and keep your community informed. Plus, you now have access to royalty-free images for your events! Dive into the details and discover how these tools can enhance your library's outreach and engagement efforts.
Event SMS Reminders - Coming Mid-August
We're adding SMS notifications to LibCal's robust notification system. Registrants can sign up to receive SMS/Text Message reminders about their upcoming events sent right to their phone. Keep engagement levels high and help ensure stellar turnout to your planned events.
Note: SMS notification support will initially only be available in the US & Canada regions.
SMS Notifications for LibCal Appointment Schedulers, Spaces/Seat Reservations, and Equipment Bookings coming soon!
Gorgeous Printable Flyers - Available Now
Creating an event and then effectively marketing it are two separate, yet important, activities. Available now in LibCal, you can:
- Pick layout, flyer size, and colors
- Upload your logo
- Display a QR code for easy scanning and mobile registration
Then, LibCal auto-generates a gorgeous high-resolution printable flyer for you! LibCal does the work of creating, managing, and now advertising your upcoming events all in one tool.
Royalty-Free Event Images - Available Now
In keeping with our commitment to help you create attractive events optimized for better advertising, we recently added a royalty-free image search when creating a featured image for an event.
Search over 500,000+ free-use images and add them to your events and event flyers.
But That's Not All! ILS SMS Notifications
Looking to send SMS notifications for hold pickups, due date reminders, and other ILS notices? You've come to the right place! This functionality is already available to our public library customers inside of our Patron Point platform as a Notices module but we are now expanding the ILS Notices via SMS functionality to Academic, Special, K-12, and other library customers, too, as a separate product.
