Hoopla Checkout Limit

As of Dec. 1, 2018 the monthly checkout limit for Hoopla has been reduced from 10 per user to 5 per user. We understand that this will be a disappointing change for some users, but it was necessary due to overwhelming demand for this service.

Hoopla is a pay-per-use service. Every time one of our patrons checks out a Hoopla item, the Millis Public Library is charged for its use. As Hoopla has grown in popularity among Millis Public Library patrons, it has begun to use an unsustainable portion of our budget. We are exploring what options we might have to provide increased access to the types of content available on Hoopla.

Please also be aware of our options for you that have no monthly limits:

OverDrive and Libby (app) – Downloadable books, audio books, graphic novels, magazines, and movies.

Freegal Music – Access to over 9 million songs that you can download and keep.

Our thanks for your understanding on this issue.
