Not sure how libraries square this with ALA philophies about keeping lending histories private. Hopefully there is something in the contracts stipulating only records of current check outs be kept, but I kinda doubt it.

This was their email:
Thank you for contacting us, and we're sorry you're having trouble with "Xxxxxx." As we discussed on the phone, this title was the "2nd Epilogue" and not the full version of the book. We have returned the title from your account as you requested during the call.
Also as requested, below is a link to OverDrive's Privacy Policy. Please be assured that we do not monitor your activity.

So I guess direct phone help is not what they want anymore. Yet the last survey that they sent me had a question asking me to rate the different types of assistance that I preferred and one of the items was phone help.
