The days are getting shorter. You know what that means.
In the coming weeks, the weather will grow colder and our collective want to go outside will turn into a collective want to stay inside.
Libraries have a unique opportunity to connect with patrons during this period by bringing warmth, joy, and discovery to their communities, all from the comfort of home. Hoopla BingePass is the perfect companion for winter escapism, offering unlimited access to premium content with just a single borrow.
Whether it’s a snow day, a quiet holiday evening, or a family night in, BingePass transforms ordinary moments into memorable experiences. By curating BingePass collections, you can help patrons explore a world of entertainment, education, and enrichment. Here are a few ideas to help get you started:
- Cozy Up Collection: Perfect for chilly nights and festive vibes, these BingePasses feature Hallmark+, Dove Channel, and Curated Cuts for heartwarming holiday romance and cozy movie marathons. Meanwhile, medici.tv brings the elegance of the season with holiday concerts, ballets, and the Vienna Philharmonic New Year’s concert—ideal for relaxing evenings by the fire.
- Family Fun Pack: Make winter break unforgettable with content the whole family can enjoy, including Berenstain Bears, PBS KIDS, and Seasonal Stories. Puzzmo and Puzzle Palace are great for snow days and bonding time as they provide interactive fun for curious minds.
- New Year, New You: Support your patrons’ New Year’s resolutions with inspiring and educational content like Get Healthy U TV for fitness and wellness, The Great Courses and Curiosity Stream for lifelong learning, and Craftsy SeasonPasses and Fret Zealot for creative hobbies and musical exploration.
