Hoopla This link opens in a new window
• eBooks, audiobooks, movies, TV, music & magazines
• Limit: 4 items per month
• Loan period varies by format
• Boulder County patrons only

Hoopla is a pay per use model (the library pays for each check-out). You may encounter the following message:
"The collective daily borrow limit set by your library has been reached and will reset at midnight. Please browse and add titles to favorites so you can easily access them after midnight."…what does that mean?"

The library has placed monthly spending caps on the hoopla to moderate spending our allocated funds. Once the daily cap has been reached no patrons may check anything else out for the day. This only means you have to wait until the daily limit is reset which occurs at midnight MST. Limits are in place as an effort to give everyone equal access as best we can.
