Alignment: Departmental Location Transition Plan - Update

As promised during the presentation last week, I wanted to keep everyone up-to-date on our progress as we finalize the details for each of the departments that will be relocating over the course of the next two months.

Zinio App Rebranding to RBdigital

Staring on July 10th (UPDATE: As of July 26th, this message has yet to be sent to users), Zinio app users will see a message guiding them to download Recorded Books Digital’s (RBD) new RBdigital app. This migration is a part of the company’s plan to merge all their content into one centralized location.  While RBD is anticipating a smooth merge, there’s always the possibility of down times, glitches, etc. During the actual merge, starting June 26th at 8 p.m., users can anticipate a down time of 14 hours (8 pm on 6/26-midnight on 6/28).

Annual Fee Members to Receive Letter about Increase
