eBooks
Instantly borrow eBooks, audiobooks, movies, TV shows, music, and graphic novels. With hoopla, stream or download titles anytime, anywhere with your library card.
Hoopla is our digital service for streaming and downloading eBooks, audiobooks, movies, TV shows, music, and more. With your library card, you can borrow titles instantly or place holds on high-demand items, all from your phone, tablet, or computer. Because many readers share digital copies, how long items stay checked out matters—especially for popular books.
Read. Return. Repeat.
Finished your eBook or audiobook early? If so, we encourage you to return it as soon as you’re done. Digital titles—especially popular ones—often have waitlists, and returning a book early helps it move quickly to the next reader. When you’ve finished, simply click “Return,” and the next person in line will receive an alert that their hold is ready. It’s a small step that makes a big difference for everyone waiting to read.
To get started, download the hoopla app or visit hoopladigital.com, and create an account using your library card number.

Hoopla FAQ
How do I borrow?
There are two ways to borrow in hoopla: Flex and Instant. Flex borrows can be checked out if a copy is available, just like a physical book at the library. If it's not available, you can easily join the waitlist. Flex borrows are available for 21 days after you borrow. Instant borrows are always available with no waitlist.
How much can I borrow each month?
You may check out eight Instant borrows each month. And eight rolling Flex borrows.
Your Instant borrows reset at the beginning of the month and do not roll over. Your eight rolling Flex borrows are available at all times. Returning a Flex borrow frees up another Flex borrow.
How many items can I put on hold at a time?
You can put up to 10 items on hold.
Can I renew a book?
You can renew a book up to two times as long as no other customer is on the waitlist for it.
What devices can I use hoopla on?
Hoopla supports iOS devices running iOS 16 or later, Android devices running 7.1 or later, and Kindle Fire tablets and Fire TVs. All other Kindle devices are not supported. Hoopla also supports some LG and Samsung TVs, Roku devices, and more. For a complete list, visit hoopla support.
What does Not In Catalog mean?
Not in Catalog means that our library does not own the license for the title.
There could be a few reasons for this:
The title is too new (or forthcoming) and is not yet available for purchase;
The title is available for purchase but there hasn't been enough interest, or
The title has not yet been requested by a customer.
If there is a Not in Catalog title you may request it by opening the title and selecting the Request button. We can't guarantee that we will fulfill every request, but we do see and review every title requested. Customers may have up to three simultaneous requests at one time. If we order a book you request, we will notify you.
If I can’t find a book I’m looking for, can I recommend that a book be added to hoopla?
Submitting a Title Request on hoopla is a way that you can recommend we add specific titles to the collection. Requests are limited to three requests per person at a time. Please ensure that the eBook or audiobook you’re requesting has been published or will be published within two months of your request. Although we strive to honor requests, purchases are based on multiple factors, including budget, date of publication, popularity, and demand.
How can I get more help?
With general requests regarding hoopla borrows, content, or anything eBook-related, contact us.
Why aren't there unlimited digital copies of books?
Libraries license eBooks under publisher rules. In many cases, a digital copy can only be checked out by one user at a time and may expire after a set number of checkouts or after 1–2 years, requiring the library to purchase it again.

Humor
Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch
Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett
Recommended By
Debbie Henderson
Who would have thought the end of the world could be so funny? Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, of course! The Antichrist has been misplaced and is growing up in an ordinary suburban family, while an unlikely pair—an angel and a demon—try desperately to prevent Armageddon. Add witches, prophecies, heavenly blunders, and infernal chaos, and all Heaven and Hell break loose. Clever, absurd, and laugh-out-loud funny, Good Omens is a devilishly perfect choice for humor lovers.
Stephanie Plum series
Janet Evanovich
Recommended By
Grace Cordial
Great literature these are not, but they surely are fun! Picture a slapstick/adventure series featuring a host of incompetent people, eccentric relatives, wacky co-workers and two very competent handsome men looking over and cleaning up after inept bounty hunter Stephanie Plum. I laughed so hard at Stephanie's inane antics that my husband banned books by Janet Evanovich from our bedroom. The best thing? You can read any of the books in the series at any time.
A Spoonful of Frogs
Casey Lyall

Katharine Argall
Illustrated by one of my favorite artists, Vera Brosgol, this picture book follows the story of a television cook (who happens to be a witch) as she -attempts- to make frog soup. This is one of the only books that has ever made me laugh. Read it to break the spell of a gloomy day!
The Future Book
Mac Barnett & Shawn Harris
Recommended By
Leigh Ramey
Childhood friends, Mac Barnett and Shawn Harris, collaborated on the popular and funny children’s graphic novel series – The First Cat in Space. Their newest picture book together, The Future Book, will also appeal to kids who like funny, silly jokes. In THIS future, bananas are called apples, people put fish on each other’s heads, and a common phrase to hear is “you smell like a baby”! You can find Wonderbook editions of this title, narrated by Mac Barnett.
