Using Hoopla

Visit the website to stream using your internet connection, or download the Hoopla App. Using the app you can stream using your data or Wi-Fi, or download to the app and access offline. Please note Hoopla won't stream through a mobile browser - you do need to download the app. You can borrow 7 items per month, which resets the first day of every month.

Once you've issued an item to your account you have a set period of time to enjoy it:

  • 3 days to watch a movie or TV episode
  • 7 days to listen to a music album
  • 21 days to listen to an audio book or read any e-Book or comic.
