Friday, July 17, 2020 - 10:48 AM

As you may have heard, RBdigital was acquired by Overdrive last month. Overdrive will begin transitioning RBdigital customers to the Overdrive platform in the coming months. As an RBdigital customer NC LIVE will be affected by this change. We are working with Overdrive and RBdigital right now to figure out a transition plan for the NC LIVE RBdigital content and platform.

We will update you with more information when we have it.
