Hoopla is a digital media service offered through Upper Sandusky Community Library that allows patrons to borrow over 750,000 titles across a variety of formats. From movies, TV shows, and music to audiobooks, ebooks, and comics, these materials can be streamed or downloaded on your computer, tablet, phone, and TV. All you need is your USCL library card to sign up!

Patrons are allowed to borrow up to eight items per month, and with hoopla there are never any holds. You can instantly stream or download your content to your device. Movies and TV shows can be checked out for three days; music albums for seven days; and audiobooks, ebooks, and comics for 21 days. Materials are automatically returned at the end of each lending period, so you will never have any late fees.
