TXT 4 ANSWERS

This is the most entertaining library service I have ever posted about.

The libraries of the Washington County Cooperative Library Services [WCCLS] have banded together to provide a new reference service called Info Quest. All you have to do is text your question to Info Quest, and a librarian will return an answer to you within 10 minutes (during service hours). This is a great way for students -- and their teachers -- to get reliable answers to quick questions when visiting the library isn't an option.

How do you send your question, you ask? Here are the directions:
  • Text 309-222-7740.
  • Text the code WCC in front of your question.
  • Wait for your response!

Info Quest is available Monday – Friday, 6:00 am – 8:00 pm, and Saturday, 7:00 am – 3:00 pm. For more information, visit the Info Quest site. Tlk 2 U soon!
