If you've been having trouble accessing Hoopla on your Apple device recently, Hoopla suggests this fix:

1) Uninstall the Hoopla Digital app
2) Turn off your device completely and wait 15-30 seconds
3) Turn on your device, reinstall the Hoopla Digital app, and log in

(We did this and can verify this worked on an iPhone for us.)

Sunday, Aug. 9 is the final day of Summer Reading. If you haven't reached your goal, you can log your reading online or at the library (we're open from 1-5pm). And don't forget to stop by and pick up any prizes you've earned.

Thanks to all of our sponsors for helping us encourage Northbrook to keep reading all summer long, including the Northbrook Park District for providing kids with a "choose your own adventure" coupon that gives them the choice of fun activities, like a free round of golf, a day at the pool, ice skating, and more!
