Important Information for RBdigital Users

Due to a change in ownership of the RBdigital Media Company, the unlimited subscription model for lending eAudiobooks and magazines is no longer being offered for library licensing. In addition, the new owners announced the intent to discontinue the RBdigital apps and website in the near future.

Digital eAudiobook access on RBdigital ended March 15, 2021. Digital magazine access will end on March 31, 2021.

We do not have a replacement for digital magazines at this time, but we are in conversation with a company who may be able to provide a comparable consortial lending model which is what we are losing in RBdigital. Consortial lending models allow us the ability to offer a robust collection of titles at a cost we can afford.

While we do not have a replacement for the digital magazine content, we do have many other options for eAudiobook material. If you are not a user of the CloudLibrary or Hoopla, both have eAudiobook content and we hope you’ll enjoy our these or our other Streaming Services. Please, feel free to contact us via email at r[email protected] or call us at 618-452-6238 with any questions.

We regret having to bring you this news as particularly the digital magazines were very popular with our users. We hope to have a solution in the coming months.
