As libraries adapt their collections and adjust their mix of print and digital content for patrons, Ingram Content Group Inc., today announced that it has grown its MyiLibrary platform, adding more than 50,000 titles and new functionality to meet the changing needs of today's libraries.

More than 50,000 titles have been added to the MyiLibrary e-book platform since the beginning of the year.

The MyiLibrary platform also includes new content from Random House imprints, including Melville House, Rizzoli New York, Seven Stories Press, Smithsonian Books, Soho Crime, and Steerforth Press, among others.
