An updated OverDrive Media Console (OMC) app v2.6.5 for iOS and Android will be released on May 29. The new OMC for iOS will enhance the speed of the in-app browser and fix bugs. Due to Apple’s change in its privacy policies, the OMC for iOS update will de-authorize every user’s Adobe ID and prompt them to authorize again. Audiobook users won’t be affected unless attempting to download parts from a book that was partially downloaded prior to the update. The Android update will fix bugs.

The latest version of OverDrive Media Console for Windows computers gives you the option to early-return MP3 audiobooks. The updated desktop application OMC v3.2.2 can be installed on computers running Windows XP (or newer). Don’t forget you can early-return eBooks from Adobe Digital Edition as well.

On June 3, 2013, a planned update to our library's Zinio Digital Magazine collection will require you to re-register your library Zinio account. Use the same email address as previously used to ensure a seamless merge, and your previously checked out magazines will be there after you re-register. You must do this on June 3 or your first time back to the log in page after June 3. Instructions can be found here as well as in the email sent to you by The Library Network. Continue to enjoy this free, cover-to-cover, magazine service!
