Sunsetting of SimplyE and enki Library Programs

New York Public Library, the developers behind SimplyE, will be sunsetting the opensource program on June 30, 2024. After that date, there will be no further support for the app. This news, combined with the loss of funding for enki Library, has led Califa to offer SimplyE and enki Library for free to current subscribers for the 23/24 fiscal year.

What does this mean for SimplyE?

If you currently have a SimplyE subscription, it will continue at no charge. We will not be setting up new libraries on SimplyE. The help/ticketing system will still continue for the fiscal year, but the developer support will end on June 30, 2024.

What does this mean for enki Library?

Califa will turn off enki Library for checkouts on December 31, 2024 and shut down at the end of January 2025. We recommend instead using the enki geolocated collection on Biblioboard at enki.biblioboard.com. This is powered with funding by the California State Library and hosted by Lyrasis' Biblioboard.
