HOOPLA

The HPL is now offering streaming and downloadable movies, TV shows, music and audiobooks through Hoopla . 




Keep in mind that the selection is limited by what the studios will offer so it is limited to older movies and mainly nonfiction TV shows. However, the music studios, except for Sony, are offering their entire catalogs including current Billboard hits. You have to sign up using your library card (no pin number is required) and are allowed 4 check outs per month. 
Check out periods:
videos 72 hours
music 7 days 
audiobooks  21 days. 
Once you check out a title you can stream it or download it on your computer or using the hoopla app for Apple or Android devices. 
The NL administration team have developed a training guide (THANK YOU!) to address multiple questions that can arise. Please refer to the Hoopla page on the NL blog. You can also ask me (Janna) or Marianne Lorio, Multimedia Specialist, marianne.lorio@houstontx.gov, 832-393-1514
