[CASL-L] RB Digital

[Valerie DiLorenzo]

In addition to what Melissa shared, I contacted my local public library in
July about CSL switching to SimplyE app, then kind of forgot about it until
I read that recent post from Brad. I WAS able to connect to SimplyE through
my public library just last week! Looks like a wide selection. I'm sure it
will get better as any kinks are worked out. Haven't officially checked out
any ebooks or audiobooks yet, though.
