Chemeketa Cooperative Regional Library Service (OR) Launches MessageBee  

The Salem, Oregon library consortium adds MessageBee Voice notifications to their existing Unique services

Unique Management Services is proud to announce the launch of MessageBee for Chemeketa Cooperative Regional Library Service this week. Patrons will now begin receiving phone-based updates on their library transactions in three available languages, English, Spanish, and Russian.

The Oregon capital area system is a longtime client of Unique, with MessageBee representing the latest addition to their 27-year commitment to material recovery. The consortium has 18 members across the Marion, Polk, and Yamhill counties of Oregon, serving over half a million residents.

MessageBee is a powerful and customizable messaging tool that offers numerous features, making it an essential asset for libraries looking to enhance their communication strategies. Easily understandable clear voicemails made MessageBee a great choice for Chemeketa Cooperative Regional Library Service. MessageBee also integrated well with Symphony, the library’s ILS.

Key features of MessageBee include:

  • SaaS Phone service: Our Phone notifications require no library-based equipment. We handle the back end, so libraries can focus on their patrons.
  • Multi-Language ability: clients can send messages in English or Spanish, with preference automatically pulled from the patron database, ensuring seamless integration.
  • Customizable notifications: Either voice recordings or automatically generated messages offer clear voicemail messages.
