I just activated Hoopla from the home library--Huntington Woods. My main interest is movies. My initial reaction is that they have a lot of films but not too many of high quality. I did, however, find a great film, (Conte d'hiver=A Tale of Winter)  by one of my favorite directors, Eric Rohmer. I can come back to it for the four day loan period and have about 30 minutes more to watch. I also found one of the worst rated films I've ever seen (1.8/10 on IMBD) whose name I've already forgotten.  I'll do some more extensive research later.

Do any public libraries in Michigan offer Hoopla to their patrons?

I need to understand the process of doing so, the cost to the library, and
whether your patrons like this service.

We already offer Overdrive and Scola through Superiorland Library
Cooperative.

Thank you. Cathy
