What's with all the "Hoopla"? Read this and find out about an exciting new service!

Hello:

It has been brought to my attention that word about our new digital media service, hoopla, is not reaching everyone. I want to make sure everyone is aware that we are now offering streaming and downloadable movies, TV shows, music and audiobook through hoopla. Keep in mind that our selection is limited by what the studios will offer so it is limited to older movies and mainly nonfiction TV shows. However, the music studios are excited by this new service and, except for Sony, are offering their entire catalogs including current Billboard hits. You have to sign up using your library card (no pin number is required) and are allowed 4 check outs per month. We wish it could be more, but the library is charged per check out and we want to be sure we don’t run out of money. Check out periods for videos are 72 hours, music is 7 days and audiobook is 21 days. Once you check out a title you can stream it or download it on your computer or using the hoopla app for Apple or Android devices. There are FAQs on the Staff Training Portal. If you have any more questions please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

Marianne Lorio
