Ends Soon
Hoopla Service Ends July 15After careful consideration, we've decided to end Hoopla service. We love offering on-demand content, but unfortunately Hoopla has become too expensive for us to be able to offer it to all our library members.
Thank you for understanding. We hope you will give our other eBooks and streaming services like Libby, cloudLibrary, and Kanopy a try!
