Add My Info Quest to my Contacts

This is called a QR (quick response code). It sends information to a cell phone equipped with a code reader. The QR code on this page will offer to add the phone number for our new My Info Quest: text 4 answers service to your cell phone contacts, so you can text us the next time you have a burning question and get an answer in minutes from a librarian. (You can add it or decline it.)

If your camera phone is equipped with a data plan, and if you have acquired a code reader, just point your phone's camera at the code and take it away.
