First, the bad news: we're sorry to announce that access to hoopla for Athens Regional Library System patrons will end on June 30, 2026. While we appreciate the value hoopla brings to our digital collections, the platform's pricing and lending model options have become unsustainable for the library's budget. We appreciate your understanding!

And now, the GREAT news: Kanopy is coming July 1, 2026! You'll be able to enjoy instant access to thousands of critically-acclaimed movies, inspiring documentaries, award-winning foreign films, and more from studios like A24, the BBC, The Criterion Collection, and PBS. Check back for more information on how to start streaming with your library card!
