I noticed this last week. I was searching for a book at my library (I knew they had it) and couldn't find it. I then realized that they had no WMA books anymore.

Libraries that lost titles were supposed to get some kind of "solution" for lost titles, I wonder what it was.

EDIT: After some research it looks like the phase out started in November 2014 by dropping WMA for titles that also had MP3. Then on March 2, 2015 all lending of WMA titles was stopped.
