Try hoopla today by downloading the “hoopla digital” app on your Apple, Android or Kindle device.

You can also access Hoopla from a desktop computer or laptop by going to the hoopla website: hoopladigital.com.

You can borrow up to 5 titles a month. Limits reset on the first day of each month. Unused checkouts do not rollover to the next month.
Items will be automatically returned when the loan period is over so there are never any fines.
- Movie and TV content is available for 3 days.
- Music albums are available for 7 days.
- Audiobooks, eBooks and comics are available for 21 days.
There are no holds or wait lists.
You can return an item early but this does not allow you to borrow more than 5 items per month.
Content can be streamed from the internet or, if using the hoopla app, downloaded for offline use.
Streaming from hoopla uses your data. A regular-length movie uses about 1GB; an album uses about 35 MB of data.
A Kids Mode is available with content that hoopla has selected for children up to age 12. Once you are logged in, go to your settings in the right hand of the screen and select Kids Mode.
