OverDrive will be making a couple of changes to the digital library website on Wednesday, April 9th.

We are happy to announce a new interface for the Wisconsin Digital Library that will provide kids with a destination where they can search for juvenile and young adult titles on their own website.   The main digital library has titles, mostly in erotic and romance literature, that can have occasional cover art containing designs that are more adult themed.  We know that this is a frustration to some patrons, often parents with younger children.

Some of you may have heard that Adobe announced they would be requiring adoption of a new EPUB DRM in July, which would have had a major impact on existing users.  They have since backed off this position.  You can read more about this position change here.  This means at this time there is no cause for concern of an impending deadline for this change.  However, we will continue to find our more about this and keep everyone posted.
