Digital Library Changes for E- and Audiobooks WCCLS is reorganizing its digital library in order to be able to expand what we offer. On June 14, WCCLS will move to our own OverDrive collection, out of the Oregon Digital Library Consortium (Library2Go), so we can better serve digital readers in Washington County. Also on June 14, we will move many of the e-books and all of the audiobooks in Cloud Library to the OverDrive platform, where we plan to continue to grow our collection of books throughout 2017 and beyond. After June 15, we will no longer offer the Cloud Library platform. We encourage Cloud Library users to move any remaining holds from Cloud Library to OverDrive. Learn more details about the transition at wccls.org/ebookhelp.
