Overdrive acquires RBmedia

OverDrive has acquired RBmedia’s library business, RBdigital, in North America, UK, and Australia. This means that the titles purchased from RBdigital will be transferred to OverDrive. Our patrons will enjoy access to these titles in the popular Libby app. When this transfer is complete, the RBdigital platform and app will be retired. Ebooks and Audiobooks are already transferred over in 2020. Everything else will be moving in the early part of 2021 that includes ArtistWorks, The Great Courses, Method Test Prep, Transparent Language Online, Magazines, Comics, AcornTV, IndieFlix, Qello Concerts, and LearnitLive.
Hoonuit a professional development and training education service, however will not be moving to Overdrive. It was acquired by Infobase and rebranded as Infobase Learning Cloud. As a result they will be migrating to the Infobase platform in early 2021.
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact Putnam County Public Library District Headquarters at (815)925-7020 or info@putnamcountylibrary.org

Announcement Curbside Services

In order to help the prevention of COVID-19 and other flu-type viruses, the Library District will go to curbside service, effective as of Thursday, November 19th.

Materials can still be returned in the book drops, and all fines, during the time the library is in curbside, will be waived. Our electronic databases, like RBDigital, Omni, eReadIllinois, Hoopla, and Kanopy will remain open and available. Links for all can be found on our website. Our wireless network will remain on and available. You can call ahead for your items or any item requests at your local library branch.
 
All Programs we had planned are canceled as well across all of our branches that are in person. Call ahead for our take and go crafts.  Some programs will be appearing on Zoom or Facebook Live. Keep an eye on our website, Facebook, and mailchimp emails for updates.
 
If your card becomes unusable, due to overdue fines, please call us at 815-925-7020. We will make sure your card is cleared, so you can enjoy our electronic resources.

Thank you for understanding.
