Important Update Regarding Libby/OverDrive eMaterial Access
Dear Valued Library Patrons,
We want to inform you of an important change that may affect how you borrow eMaterials through Libby and OverDrive. Due to decisions made at a regional level beyond our local control, the reciprocal lending agreement between the New Castle District Library Center and the Crawford County Federated Library System, Erie County Public Library, Oil Creek Library District, and Seneca District Libraries has ended.
Effective immediately, access to eMaterials from those libraries through the reciprocal lending program is no longer available. We understand that many of you enjoyed the expanded collection and that this change may be disappointing.
Please know that you still have full access to the New Castle District’s Libby collection. Additionally, we encourage you to explore the eBooks, eAudiobooks, and eVideos available through the Butler County Federated Library System’s (BCFLS) Hoopla! collection. Together, these platforms continue to offer a wide range of digital resources for your enjoyment.
If you have any questions or need assistance using Libby or Hoopla!, your home library staff is there to help. Feel free to stop in, call, or email us—we’re happy to assist you in making the most of our available resources.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support of our Butler County libraries. We are grateful for your patronage and look forward to continuing to serve you in new and innovative ways. We will keep you informed about any future updates to our digital collections.
Warm regards,
Butler County Federated Library System
