As public libraries remain a source of stability, equity, and trust, they continue to serve as community anchors, safe havens, and gateways to opportunity. Libraries don’t just manage collections; they uphold values. They serve people, not profits.
You already know this. But it’s also why Hoopla matters.
Hoopla isn’t just a digital content service—it’s a movement. It’s a bold, visionary approach that puts libraries back in control not just of their budgets, but of their mission, their content, and the patron experience. It’s not broken, but it is misunderstood.
And it’s time we changed the conversation.
The Status Quo Is Comfortable. But Is It Still Right?
Many libraries remain loyal to legacy vendors because they feel safe, familiar, and endorsed by peers. It’s human nature. But comfort doesn’t equal alignment. These models often come with hidden costs, limited access, and licensing schemes that prioritize corporate interests over community needs.
Hoopla challenges that status quo not because it’s flawed, but because it dares to ask: What if libraries could offer instant access without sacrificing control? What if budgets could be predictable, content could be diverse, and patrons could be empowered…all at once?
Instant Doesn’t Mean “Out of Control.” It Means Libraries Are in Control.
With Hoopla, libraries are taking:
- Control of their budget with transparent, reliable reporting that can help predict future trends.
- Control of their content with a rich, inclusive catalog that reflects the diversity of their communities.
- Control of the patron experience with seamless, instant access that meets today’s expectations.
This isn’t chaos, it’s clarity. Hoopla is built differently because it’s built for libraries. It’s built for impact.
A Model That Aligns with Library Values
Libraries are mission-driven. They exist to serve, to educate, to uplift, and to entertain. Hoopla shares that mission. We’re not chasing every dollar—we’re building a better way. One that respects your values, your autonomy, and your community.
Hoopla empowers libraries to think differently about their digital collections. It’s not just about access, it’s about agency and giving libraries the tools to lead, not follow.
Join the Movement
Choosing Hoopla isn’t just a purchasing decision. It’s a statement that says your library is ready to innovate, ready to challenge outdated norms, and ready to put patrons first.
Because when libraries are in control, communities thrive.
