Hoopla has been a valuable addition to the library’s online resources. Through your library card, it provides access to a large variety of e-books, audiobooks, tv shows, movies, and music. There is something for everyone at every age.
We would like our library card holders to be aware that Hoopla is on a pay-per-view basis. The more that it is used (we are so glad that it has been well-received!), the higher the costs for the library are. As a very small library, we must set a budget limit for our online resource services.
If you are a Hoopla user, you may have noticed that the monthly checkout limit has changed from 5 items to 4 items starting in June. In addition to the 4 items per month, in the last week of each month, Hoopla also offers a "Bonus Borrows" program that allows you unlimited checkouts at no extra costs to your library.
This monthly checkout limit change is simply to help create a more cost-sustainable system moving forward with Hoopla. To help your library, we encourage users to confirm if Libby has an item before checking it out on Hoopla - Libby is not on a pay-per-view basis, so it can be used as much as you’d like at no extra cost to your library. And of course, please take advantage of the Bonus Borrows at the end of each month!
The library also gratefully accepts donations. If you would like to make a donation specifically for the Hoopla service, we would be happy to allocate the funds towards it.
Thank you for your understanding and happy reading!

Your input as a community member is incredibly valuable and appreciated as we plan the library's next 5-year strategic plan. Surveys were sent out through the mail and are available at the library. You can also find a digital version of it in the link below. You can print it or fill it out digitally. Please drop your completed survey off at the library (in the dropbox located at the front of the building if library is closed), via mail, or via email to [email protected].
