Sleek, Simple Interface
Hoopla makes digitally borrowing titles simple and easy. Once registered, you can get right to browsing, and with the simple scroll-through interface.

Borrowed titles are automatically returned when your lending period is over, and you can easily keep track of your borrowing allotment, eight items each month.
Content For Everyone
Hoopla features content from nearly any genre or time period. If you’ve made your way through all the modern hit films, try a foreign language film, a documentary, or even take an exercise and fitness film along with you for a workout. Check out some hit pop tunes, and the laugh it up with some classic stand-up comedy. If you’re in the mood for a book, hoopla offers audiobooks, too.

A Few Favorites
The Who – Who’s Next
This classic rock n’ roll album features some of The Who’s most memorable tracks, such as “Baba O’Reily” and “Won’t Get Fooled Again.” The impeccable vocals of Roger Daltry, thunderous chords of Pete Townshend, lighting-fast drumming of Keith Moon and pounding drums of Keith Moon will keep you listening again and again.
The Office (U.K.)
Ricky Gervais’ critically acclaimed television series chronicles the chringe-inducing, day-to-day events at paper company Wernham Hogg. The inspiration for the beloved U.S. television series of the same name, this classic British series showcases some of the best deadpan humor seen on television.
Orange Is the New Black
This audiobook-version of the story of author Piper Kerman’s time in a Connecticut detention facility, read by Cassandra Campbell, gives a compelling insight into the realities of a woman’s prison. This engaging story is also the inspiration for the new hit television series of the same name.
