Add a Library to the SimplyE Library Registry

The SimplyE Library Registry is a service provided by the New York Public Library on behalf of the participants in the SimplyE project. The Library Registry serves two primary purposes: as a discovery tool to help patrons find their local participating library in the iOS and Android SimplyE apps, and as a central authority registering the various Circulation Manager servers, providing Adobe digital rights management (DRM) capabilities enabling access to encrypted commercial ebook resources.
