hoopla

Hoopla Digital Service Adjustments

Although it is free for members to use, Capital Area District Libraries pays a fee of up to $3.99 for every hoopla checkout. With CADL members checking out more than 19,000 hoopla items each month, costs add up quickly.

To manage expenses while still offering a wide range of instantly available digital content, we have implemented a price cap on Hoopla content. As a result, some content is no longer available. However, thousands of digital books, audiobooks, movies and music albums remain available with the limit of 12 checkouts per month unchanged.
