Hoopla Service Ends July 15.
We regularly review our services to ensure we offer the best value and experience for our community. After evaluating digital borrowing growth, customer experience, content, and costs, we are ending Hoopla service. Hoopla users will have the regular loan period for anything borrowed from Hoopla before July 15.
Like many other libraries across the country, we found that Hoopla’s pay-per-use model is extremely expensive, and its usage is limited to a very small number of library users. By ending this service, we can expand our offerings to more readers on Libby eBooks. We hope you will try Libby on your favorite device or computer to find your favorite digital books and audiobooks!
