Stream or download audiobooks directly to your computer or mobile device. Hoopla also contains music, movies, eBooks, and TV shows. You can borrow up to 4 titles each month and there is no wait list. This limit is in place as Hoopla has a different pricing structure than CloudLibrary. With CloudLibrary, we purchase a copy of an eBook which includes a certain amount of 'borrows'. With Hoopla, we are charged per borrow, and it is a substantial cost for the library.

Borrow titles individually or use a BingePass to gain access to a whole collection using just one borrow.
