Hoopla

This digital media service provides customers access to motion picture films, television shows, complete music albums, graphic novels & comics, and BingePasses. The collection includes current and past hits, as well as classics. There is a variety of genres to choose from, with something for all ages. Let's be connected, inspired, and entertained together every day!

The collection is not permanent – titles get pulled and new content is added all the time.
Customers can stream or temporarily download up to 4 titles per month per card. The download feature is available exclusively on mobile devices, through the app.
The borrowing period for movie and TV content is between 48-72 hours (2-3 days), music albums (considered as one item) are 7 days, and comics collection is 21 days.
Titles are available instantly with no holds, waitlists, or late fees.
Borrowed titles are automatically returned following the borrowing period.
Hoopla is accessible from your computer, laptop, or wireless device.
Customers must register for an account with an email address and a valid OPL card number, in order to access the service.
The data used to stream Hoopla from the Internet at home or from your mobile device will count towards your Internet service provider’s monthly bandwidth cap. Watching a regular-length movie uses about 1GB of data for each stream of standard definition video. Streaming an album uses about 35 MB of data.
