How Hoopla works
A digital library service from the United States, offered by public libraries in Australia: films and TV next to ebooks, audiobooks, comics and music.
All you need is a card from a public library that offers Hoopla. It is free to the member, each library sets how many titles you can borrow, and the titles you see vary with your library's catalogue. Most titles can also be downloaded to a phone or tablet.
Free on Hoopla instead of paying
943 of them are also in a paid subscription in Australia (Prime Video, Shudder and Foxtel Now among others): with a card they cost you nothing. Best rated first.
