How to Use Hoopla

You can borrow from Hoopla without being on a waiting list or leaving home! You can borrow 10 Items each month. Each album is then available to listen to for 7 days. If you have never borrowed from Hoopla before Hoopla directions (.pdf) are available as well as a Hoopla video tutorial.

If you are listening to Hoopla music on a PC or Mac you can only stream it, so you'll need an internet connection to listen. Streaming music can consume a lot of data, so we recommend streaming Hoopla over a Wi-Fi connection.

If you are listening to Hoopla music on the Hoopla app on a supported device, you can download it when you have a connection and then enjoy it offline later.

Here is a quick short cut to Hoopla's Music page or explore Hoopla's Music categories.

You can also enjoy both online and in-person music performances at the Library!
