hoopla allows customers to instantly borrow e-books, comics, audiobooks, music, movies and television — with no holds, and no waiting! And there is no need to worry about late fees; hoopla features an automated service that returns your item once your time is up. Content can be streamed to computers, tablets or smartphones, and can be downloaded to mobile devices to allow for offline viewing any time.
Only interested in seeing content for kids and families? Visit your "Settings" in the hoopla app or Account page on the hoopla site and flip the toggle to put hoopla into Kids Mode. Doing so replicates the experience kids might have in the children's section of the Library.
Though our e-content services are free to customers, some of these services incur a cost to the Library each time someone borrows an item. This is the case with hoopla. To ensure our ability to provide access to hoopla year-round without exceeding our annual budget, there is a daily limit on hoopla lending. If demand is especially high, and the limit is reached, you might receive a message when you try to borrow an item that says, "Our collective daily borrow limit set by your library has been reached and will reset at midnight. Please browse and add titles to favorites so you can easily access them after midnight." We recommend you try to borrow as early in the morning as possible, since the limit resets after midnight.
