The Emmet O’Neal Library is now offering thousands of movies, television shows, music albums, eBooks, audiobooks and comics for mobile and online access through a new partnership with hoopla digital.
Mountain Brook card holders can download the free hoopla digital mobile app on their Android or IOS device or visit hoopladigital.com to access titles from major Hollywood studios, record companies and publishers. Users borrow items 24/7, for instant streaming or temporary downloading to their smartphones, tablets and computers.
“We’re always looking to expand our digital offerings to become a truly accessible resource for the community,” said Amanda Westfall, reference librarian at Emmet O’Neal Library. “With hoopla digital, we are able to do that in a more impactful way than before. The service grants our patrons 24/7 access to dynamic materials, while eliminating waits and holds. They only need their library card to stay connected and can access this content via the hoopla app or web site – free of charge. hoopla digital’s automatic return also means no late fees.”
Emmet O’Neal Library is the eleventh library system in the state of Alabama to partner with hoopla digital. Current partners include Hoover Public Library, Vestavia Hills Library and Muscle Shoals Public Library.
