30 Apr Changes to Hoopla
To better manage rising costs and prepare for funding shortfalls, we will be implementing a monthly spending cap for Hoopla, beginning June 1. Prior to this, there was no budget limit for this resource. The cap was determined by averaging Hoopla’s monthly costs over the last year.
What this means for you:
- Users will still be allowed 10 checkouts per month.
- Hoopla divides the monthly cap by 30 for a daily cost limit. Once the day’s limit is reached, no further checkouts will be allowed until the following day.
- When the daily limit is reached, Hoopla informs users that no more checkouts can be made.
How to get the most out of your digital checkouts during this change:
- Take advantage of Hoopla’s BingePass. With BingePass, you can enjoy seven days of on-demand content using just one checkout.
- Keep an eye out for Hoopla’s monthly Bonus Borrows. The last seven days of every month, Hoopla offers a selection of things you can checkout without using any of your 10 monthly checkouts.
- Try Libby for eBooks, audiobooks, or magazines; or take a look at Kanopy for streaming movies, TV shows, and more!
Thank you for your understanding as we work to ensure continued access for all and adjust to our new budgetary reality.
