How Hoopla Supports the Next Chapter of Library Reading
The way library patrons consume media continues to evolve.
While other formats may be trending, eBooks promote literacy and remain a vital part of the library experience—especially on Hoopla, where the collection is expanding rapidly and offering new ways to connect with stories, ideas, and communities.
Here’s why Hoopla’s eBook platform is becoming a go-to resource for libraries:
Instant access, no waiting
Perhaps one of the biggest advantages of Hoopla’s eBook model is its “always available” access. Popular titles can be borrowed immediately—no holds, no delays. This instant gratification keeps patrons coming back and helps libraries meet demand without the usual bottlenecks.
A collection that keeps growing
Many digital platforms rely on metered licenses that expire or restrict access. Hoopla takes a different approach. With more than 1 million available titles, its eBook catalog constantly expands and remains available long-term, allowing libraries to build a dependable digital collection that adapts to patron interests.
And with titles available in multiple languages, Hoopla helps libraries serve multilingual and multicultural communities with ease.
Spotlight on independent voices
Hoopla’s eBook library isn’t just about mainstream bestsellers. While it does offer a broad selection of works from major publishers, it also showcases a wide range of independent authors and presses. In fact, Hoopla recently brought content from more than 200 indie authors to its already impressive lineup on the platform.
This diversity brings fresh perspectives into the library ecosystem and gives patrons access to stories they might not find elsewhere. For libraries, these indie titles often deliver high engagement at a lower cost, making them a smart addition to any collection.
Easy exploration and discovery
One of Hoopla’s strengths is how it supports discovery. Patrons can browse new genres, authors, and topics without being held back by long waitlists or limited availability.
Thanks to the Flex model, libraries can manage holds more effectively. And because many users end up borrowing alternative titles when placing a hold, they stay engaged and satisfied—even if their first choice isn’t immediately available.
A commitment to inclusion
Hoopla’s eBook offerings reflect a strong commitment to IDEA—Inclusion, Diversity, Equality, and Accessibility. The platform features a wide array of titles that represent different cultures, identities, and experiences, helping libraries ensure their collections are inclusive and relevant to all patrons.
One app, many formats
Hoopla simplifies the digital experience by bringing everything together in one place. In addition to eBooks, patrons can access audiobooks, comics and manga, music, movies, TV shows, and more with BingePass, all through a single user-friendly app.
This unified approach means libraries don’t have to juggle multiple platforms, and users enjoy a seamless experience across media types.
Empowering Libraries to Lead the Digital Shift
Hoopla’s eBook collection isn’t just growing, it’s transforming how libraries deliver digital content. With a focus on discovery, diversity, and accessibility, Hoopla empowers libraries to serve their communities more effectively and efficiently.
Hoopla ensures libraries are not just participating in the shift—they’re leading it.
