Hoopla Updates
You may have noticed that Hoopla has been very popular recently! CKPL will be making some adjustments in our Hoopla app to provide a more sustainable and fair borrowing experience for all library patrons.
- Increased investment- more funds being allocated to Hoopla to meet growing demand.
- No Request Feature in-app- you will still have access to both Instant and Flex titles. However, the request feature will no longer be available. If you would like to suggest a title to be purchased digitally, please use CKPL’s Purchase Suggestion Form.
- Adjusted borrowing limits- monthly borrowing limit changing from 10 titles per month to 8. Don’t worry, Bonus Borrows do not count towards this limit! CKPL also offers above average borrowing limits compared to many other Ontario libraries that offer Hoopla.
- Digital Magazines on Libby- BingePasses will still be available with the exception of digital magazines. CKPL has an extensive collection of instant-borrow magazines through Libby.
