What it does
hoopla provides digital books, audiobooks, comics and other media through participating public libraries. Readers create an account linked to an eligible library card.
Check that your library offers hoopla before registering, then use its card number and PIN to verify the account. A new hoopla account alone does not establish borrowing eligibility. The book, audio and comic formats make it useful when a reading list crosses formats, while your library’s card rules remain the starting point for access.
Instant titles have a lightning-bolt icon and are immediately available. Flex titles show a rotating arrow and can require a hold when the copy is on loan. The borrowing guide gives books, audio and comics 21-day loans; monthly limits are set by the library and shown in My Hoopla.
