What is Hoop.la?
Hoop.la is an innovative platform that provides digital media lending for public libraries and their patrons. Developed by Midwest Tape, Hoop.la aims to expand the selection of library offerings into digital formats such as ebooks, audiobooks, movies, TV shows, music, comics, and more.
The Hoop.la platform enables libraries to provide access to hundreds of thousands of digital titles, greatly expanding the collections that library members can access and enjoy. Patrons can browse and borrow titles with ease using Hoop.la's website and mobile apps, which feature an engaging and user-friendly interface very similar to popular commercial streaming platforms.
As a library digital media solution, Hoop.la offers flexible and affordable pricing models for libraries. There are no upfront platform costs, and libraries only pay for the content that their members use. This makes Hoop.la accessible for public libraries of all sizes and budgets.
Designed specifically for public libraries' needs and objectives, Hoop.la focuses heavily on content and intuitive user experience to drive engagement and usage. The platform also provides insightful usage analytics and reports to help libraries understand their members and how to better serve the community. With Hoop.la, libraries can increase visibility, engagement, and overall utilization using an innovative yet practical solution.
