LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Library is more than doubling the amount of borrows patrons can enjoy on the hoopla Digital service.
Lake County Library cardholders can instantly borrow titles and start reading, listening, or viewing for free with a library card and a PIN by visiting the library website, www.library.lakecountyca.gov , and selecting hoopla Digital from the library’s digital content page.
If you don't yet have a library card, you can get a temporary online library card instantly at the library website. If you already have a card, your library PIN is usually the last four digits of the phone number on your library card registration.
Starting this week hoopla borrows will now be going from a limit of three to seven per month. This was made possible thanks to a grant awarded to the Lake County Library. The California State Library has provided Lake County Library $5,000 in crisis collection funding to help increase the digital resources available to residents.
Through the hoopla app and website patrons will have even greater access to hoopla's full collection of over 750,000 eBooks, audiobooks, movies, TV shows, music, comics and more.
Titles can be streamed immediately, or downloaded to phones or tablets for offline enjoyment later.
There are hundreds of thousands of titles to choose from, with more being added daily.
All titles will automatically expire at the end of the lending period and there are no late fees. Hoopla is like having your public library at your fingertips.
In addition to its normal offerings and to provide more content to patrons during this difficult time of sheltering at home, hoopla Digital has curated the hoopla Bonus Borrows Collection.
This list of more than 1,000 top titles will not count against the usual borrowing limits for each patron. The collection will be free to libraries and patrons through April 30, 2020.
The grant funding that increased the number of borrows is supported by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act, administered in California by the state librarian.
