The power of
The digital content partner
your library deserves.
Since 1989, Midwest Tape has partnered with libraries to deliver exceptional media content and unmatched support. With Hoopla, our digital media service, we pioneered the pay-per-use model, advocate for fair pricing from publishers, and help libraries rethink their digital strategy—integrating planning, access, and programming to better serve your communities.
Endless entertainment,
packed into a single app.
Hoopla is the only all-in-one app that combines all formats and all licence models into one simple-to-use experience. Patrons enjoy instant access to audiobooks, eBooks, comics and manga, music, movies, TV, and more with BingePass.
I am OBSESSED. I am a public library director so I have helped the library make this possible for our community… I can’t say enough nor can my patrons!! We love it!
