What is Hoopla Digital?
Answer
Hoopla is one of two platforms Smyrna Library uses to deliver eBooks, eAudiobooks, and eMagazines to its customers. Hoopla also provides access to downloadable comics, music, TV shows, and movies. The free Hoopla Digital app lets you browse, check out, and consume all this media in a single app.
The Hoopla Digital collection is very large with a changing selection of hundreds of thousands of content titles. Hoopla is different from other digital platforms because Smyrna Library does not own or lease the titles in this collection. Hoopla provides our users access to all the content, then Smyrna Library is charged for each item our customer actually checks out.
Checkout Limits
In order to stay within our budget, Smyrna Library has set a daily spending limit. So if you are unable to check out because we have hit the spending ceiling for the day, try again the next morning.
Smyrna Library cardholders may check out six (6) items per month on Hoopla Digital.
Checkout Periods
- Movies & TV shows: three (3) days
- Music: one (1) week
