As scammers get more sophisticated with phishing and smishing scams hoping that you’ll click on a link that could install harmful malware on your device or worse, the Mishawaka-Penn-Harris Public Library reminds patrons that all official MPHPL text reminders will NEVER include a live link.
All MPHPL patron email reminders will ONLY continue to include our official Sirsi Catalog library link mphpl.ent.sirsi.net.
