If you’re a regular library user, you’re probably aware of hoopla, the free streaming service that lets you check out audiobooks, e-books, movies, television, comics and music. You can stream these items directly to your computer or download them to your device via the hoopla app.
What you might not know, though, is that you can use one hoopla borrow to “check out” other streaming services and a whole lot more.
It’s all done through hoopla’s newest format, the BingePass. When you’re on hoopla’s main page, click on "BingePasses" to see what’s available. From there, if you find a collection that sounds interesting, click on it. You’ll be taken to a page that gives a brief description of the type and tone of items in the bundle.
There is also a button you can click on labelled “What Titles are included?”. Clicking that will take you to the home screen of streaming services like Hallmark+, AsianCrush or Midnight Pulp. You can also build reading skills with a Highlights e-book BingePass, or twist your brain in the Puzzle Palace.
There are also special “SeasonPass” collections of television shows that allow you to use one hoopla checkout to borrow an entire season’s worth of TV. At the bottom of those pages, they’ll tell you what episodes are included.
Once you find a BingePass you like, click on “Borrow.” You’ll then have seven days of uninterrupted access to the materials or service you selected.
