Hoopla Bonus Borrows Program


By Lynn Hutchins⎹ Information/Circulation Department, Central Library

During this difficult time of sheltering at home, Hoopla has introduced a Bonus Borrows Collection. Over 1000 top titles are available, and titles checked out do not count toward your monthly lending limits. You can check out Bonus Borrows titles without using up any of the Hoopla checkouts you get with your library card! The new Hoopla Bonus Borrow collection gives you access to more than 1000 titles curated from each section of Hoopla:
  •  Audiobooks
  •  E-books
  •  Comics
  •  Music
  • Television
  • Movies
So even if you're out of borrows for the month, there's no end to the reading, watching, and listening you can do with the Hoopla Bonus Borrows Collection.

Simply follow the link https://www.hoopladigital.com/, select Birmingham Public Library on the signup page, and begin borrowing.

To access the titles from the Hoopla Digital app:
  • If you are using the Hoopla Digital app on your phone, you will see the different formats listed at the top of the screen. To access the Bonus Borrows collections, select the format you would like (e-books, audiobooks, music, movies, television).
  • Under that format, select “Genres.” A few of the Bonus Borrows collections are listed under Popular Genres. The genres are listed in alphabetical order, so look for the “Bonus Borrows” selections.
To access the titles from the Hoopla Digital website:
  • If you are logging into your Hoopla Digital account on a computer, you will need to click “Browse” and then select the format you would like (eBooks, audiobooks, music, movies, television).
  • Select “categories.” Under categories, the first list is Top Categories, which includes a few of the Bonus Borrows collections. Scroll down further to “All Categories” to see all of the Bonus Borrows collections.
This special collection will be available through April 30, 2020.
