Overview

MessageBee is a modern marketing tool for public libraries that is used to send branded email, SMS, and phone communications. With MessageBee, libraries can enrich their current communications to keep patrons up-to-date with library offerings and events.

MessageBee is developed by UMS, a company providing communication and business services to public libraries since 1994.  Having established relationships with thousands of libraries across the world, UMS is committed to developing tools that help libraries succeed and thrive in their missions.  The MessageBee system is designed to help libraries provide better communications and drive higher engagement leading to better utilization of these public resources.
