This year NC LIVE will host a Distinguished Speakers' Series of virtual talks from leaders in industries related to libraries. Similar to a TED talk or conference keynote, each Distinguished Speaker will inspire new ideas and ways of thinking among our member libraries. In addition to the talk, there will be programming before and after the event to extend engagement with the speaker and topic.
Join us for the first talk of the series!
Some libraries have reported to us that users are seeing a message on RBdigital about an October 15th date migration to Libby. "On October 15, 2020, audiobooks and ebooks are moving to the Libby app. Learn More." Please ignore this message. NC LIVE's migration is scheduled for December 2nd. We have contacted RBdigital about this erroneous message, and they said that they will remove it.
NC LIVE will be moving all of our RBdigital ebooks and audiobooks to Hoopla on December 2nd. Users will maintain access to NC LIVE content on RBdigital until December 2nd.
