The State Library has licensed SimplyE  for public libraries in New Jersey using CARES Act funding. SimplyE is an open source e-reading software suite that allows libraries to manage their collections and control the patron experience for finding, borrowing, and reading library e-books and e-audiobooks. For libraries with multiple collections (from Overdrive/Overdrive Advantage, RBdigital, Baker & Taylor, Bibliotheca, and/or DPLA), it unifies the patron experience to a single interface using the free SimplyE e-reading mobile application available for both IOS and Android devices.

More information will be forthcoming about SimplyE in the coming weeks.
