How to Hoopla In-Person

Whether you are a movie buff, a bookworm, or a music lover, your library card is the key to a massive digital universe. This program is designed to help you navigate Hoopla Digital, the premier streaming service that allows you to borrow ebooks, audiobooks, movies, music, and comics—all for free, with no waitlists.

Join us for a hands-on tutorial where we break down everything you need to know to master the Hoopla app. Unlike other digital library services, Hoopla offers "Instant" borrows, meaning you never have to place a hold or wait for a title to become available. If you see it, you can borrow it!

In this session, our staff will guide you through the initial setup and show you how to maximize your monthly borrows. Whether you want to download a beach read on your tablet or stream a documentary on your smart TV, we’ve got you covered.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Account Setup: How to create an account using your library card and PIN.
  • Navigation: Browsing the collection by format, genre, or "Recommended" titles.
  • The "Instant" Advantage: Understanding how borrowing works without waitlists.
  • Device Integration: How to sync your borrows across phones, tablets, and computers.
  • Offline Access: How to download content so you can enjoy it without an internet connection.

What to Bring:

  • Your Library Card and account PIN.
  • Your Smartphone, Tablet, or Laptop (please ensure your device is charged).
  • Your Apple App Store or Google Play Store password (to download the app).

Bonus Tip: Hoopla also features a "Kids Mode," making it a safe and easy way for children to discover age-appropriate books and videos!
