We know how much our communities value having access to digital ebooks, audiobooks, and more through Hoopla. That's why we want to share an important update with you.

After careful consideration, our library team has made the difficult decision to discontinue offering Hoopla services after January 1st, 2027.

This decision was not made lightly. It was a team effort informed by various data points and careful consideration of how we can make the most of our library funds while continuing to provide the best possible experience for our patrons. We understand that changes to services can be frustrating, especially when they affect resources you are familiar with.

To help ease the transition, Hoopla borrowing limits are changing gradually:

✅ ️Sept: 3 borrows per user account
✅️ Oct 1st: 2 borrows per user account
✅ Nov 1st: 1 borrow per user account
️✅️ Jan 1st: Hoopla services will be discontinued

We are incredibly grateful for your understanding and for the many ways you support and use your library. We know that every patron has different needs, and we remain committed to finding ways to provide meaningful access to books, audiobooks, movies and more.

Thank you for your patronage and for being part of our community 💙

Second half of the Camp Houdini touring Kitchigami Regional Library System this week. Today at 11am Pequot Lakes, 3pm Longville. Catch the last programs tomorrow at Pine River at 10:30am & Brainerd at 3pm.

Huge thank you to Sparkle Theatricals ✨️

Welcoming from Sparkle Theatricals Alejandra Iannone & Rick Ausland to Kitchigami Regional Libraries next week July 13th-23rd.

And now…….The spotlight is waiting, the house is packed, and the crowd is restless—but the star of a touring vaudeville show has mysteriously vanished! Welcome to CAMP HOUDINI, where the mystery is deep and the clock is ticking. You have exactly one hour to master the legendary skills of Vaudeville, step into the spotlight, and save a sold-out performance from disaster.

Full tour dates in post. ALL AGES are encouraged to attend.

This is paid in part or full by the people of Minnesota's Legacy Amendment.

If you finish your eBook or audiobook before it's due, consider returning it early! While digital items automatically return at the end of the lending period, an early return lets the next person on the holds list start reading sooner.

It's a small act of kindness that keeps great stories moving.
