Members of the
East Lansing Public Library (ELPL) now have free access to digital media through a new partnership with
Hoopla Digital.
Available online at
www.hoopladigital.com and through the free Hoopla mobile app for Android or IOS device, patrons will be able to access TV Shows, movies, e-books and music from major Hollywood studios, record companies and publishers. Cardholders can borrow, instantly stream and temporarily download thousands of titles without ever leaving the comfort of their homes.
“We keep a close eye on trends and over the last year e-book downloads have skyrocketed,” stated Amber Laude, ELPL Collection Development Librarian. “We exist to serve our patrons and innovative services are what they are looking for.”
The ELPL also recently launched access to digital magazines through Vimeo in August of 2013. This new partnership is an extension of an already beneficial vendor relationship between the ELPL and
Midwest Tape, the parent company of Hoopla Digital.
