"Bad libraries build collections,
good libraries build services,
great libraries build communities."

SHARE staff have been working hard to resolve the issue with Verizon customers not receiving Polaris text notifications. We have chosen MessageBee, a service of Unique Management Services, Inc., to send SMS text messages directly to patrons, with simple and understandable messages.  

The SHARE Mobile Library will be upgraded on Friday, Sept. 6. There will be no interruption of service. No action is required from member libraries or patrons.

Take a look at what's happening in our latest SHARE Member Notes!

The SHARE update to Polaris 7.6 was successful on Aug. 3; below are the update notes. If you have any questions about any of the upgrades, please contact SHARE Administrative Services Manager Dena Porter.

System Messages are a helpful tool for all Aspen library admin accounts! Visit the Aspen Discovery Help Center → Customize System Messages to learn how to create system messages and watch a video tutorial with more in-depth information.

System Messages allow you to create messages that communicate information to library patrons such as closings, internet outages, system updates, policy changes, job opportunities, and more on the Aspen catalog. These can be displayed at the top of the screen and applied to the entire catalog or to specific account pages when patrons are logged in.
