Digital media is a key part of the transformation of libraries, and providing easy and intuitive access to content will ensure libraries can offer services that appeal to patrons and community partners, such as schools. Through the partnership with ODILO, Axiell’s customers will be able to expand their offering and incorporate content with high appeal, such as the bestseller Me Before You, by JoJo Moyes.”
