Open and log in with established account, or click the Sign Up link below the log in fields. The app will ask for GPS Permission to access your location so it can quickly determine your library.

 

Across the top of the screen are Home, Borrowed, Favorites, History, and Favorites, and below that are the number of remaining checkouts for the month. Choose from media types or scroll down to see featured titles.

Click on any item to see more details, add as a Favorite, or checkout. For television shows, scroll down to see episodes available for checkout. Unfortunately, samples are not available for titles on hoopla.

To borrow a title, click on the blue Borrow button. Your borrowed titles can be played right after borrowing!

Downloading & Checkout Periods

hoopla users can borrow up to 5 titles each month. Lending periods for media differ:

  1. Video lends for 72 hours
  2. Music lends for 7 days
  3. Audiobooks and eBooks lend for 21 days

Use the app to download titles for viewing or listening while you're out of WiFi range. Simply click the blue Read button after checkout and the title will download to your device.

Borrowed titles will be automatically returned when your lending period is over. There are no holds, wait lists, or late fees for any of hoopla's content.
