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 Cathy Sullivan Seblonka Collection Development/Reference Librarian Peter White Public Library 217 N.

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. Bob Robert P.

At Plymouth District Library, we began offering Hoopla to patrons last March. You pay by the individual download, but patrons will have access to the entire Hoopla library. As a library you are able to block titles above a certain cost threshold, or individual titles. (We blocked Girl on the Train movie since it wasn't the movie people thought it would be.) We set a maximum number of downloads of any format per patron at the beginning so we could better determine costs to the library. Our initial number was 4 per patron per month. About 20 patrons per month were hitting the maximum. In June we doubled that number to 8 per month, knowing it was summer vacation time. We still have about 20 per month hitting that maximum. E-audiobooks are the most popular items downloaded, followed by movies, music, e-books, tv shows and comics. They range in price from $.99 per item to $3.99 or so, with movies tending to cost the most. We sent Hoopla a deposit amount and each month's usage is then deducted from that. Hoopla is NOT for first-run movies or best-selling fiction e-books. I have found their real strength to be in their non-fiction e-books, vast music library, children's & family movies, and e-audiobooks. Please contact me directly if you have additional questions I can answer. Kathy Kathy Petlewski Electronic Resources Librarian Plymouth District Library 223 S.

We are part of a TLN Hoopla group. Our patrons love it. Everyone says it has the easiest front end of any of our online products. I bought it to get streaming movies. But Patrons use it for everything, I didn't expect the heavy use for e-books and audio downloads. My monthly costs are comparable to my total costs for Overdrive with Advantage. Pricing is based on population. Connie On Fri, Feb 3, 2017 at 9:41 AM, Cathy Sullivan Seblonka < cathys@uproc.lib.mi.us> wrote:

I use Hoopla through the Capital Area District Libraries and I absolutely love it! I agree with the other comments that the service's strengths seem to be nonfiction ebooks, audiobooks, and graphic novels. If you choose to get Hoopla, I would add that providing information to patrons about how the borrowing and lending limits works would be a good idea. As a user it's tempting to just borrow everything you might want to listen to, until you realize that you're taking up a limited number of borrows system-wide to do that.

Hi, Everybody. I have another request for the collective mind. Does your library have by-laws for your Friends group? If so, would you please share your by-laws with Peter White Public Library? We are especially looking for by-laws that detail the relationship, obligations and ownership of items between the library and the Friends group. Thanks, again, for all your help. Your flurry of responses in answer to my Hoopla question was astounding. Cathy Cathy Sullivan Seblonka Collection Development/Reference Librarian Peter White Public Library 217 N.
