Hoopla Digital
Hoopla service for SEKLS public and academic participating libraries officially launched Nov. 27. Hoopla allows your patrons to borrow (stream or download) digital materials to enjoy on their computer, tablet, phone, or smart TV. Hoopla has about 650,000 titles, including movies, music, audiobooks, ebooks, comics and TV shows.
For the initial period (until funds deposited in 2018 are exhausted) SEKLS will pay the entire cost. After that, SEKLS will place funds in library accounts monthly. You will pay for charges monthly for your patrons beyond what SEKLS funds cover.
