Do you remember your resolutions for 2024? Ours involved lots of reading, and we’re guessing yours might have too. How about your patrons?
Before we set New Year’s Resolutions for 2025, we have a fun way for people to complete reading goals in the waning days of 2024: short audiobooks on Hoopla. These under 8-hour listens can go anywhere and be enjoyed any time—what better way to meet a personal goal?
Patrons can browse through curated collections of quick-listen audiobooks, organized by genre. Here are a few titles in various genres of books to listen to with Hoopla as 2025 approaches:
