Tap into Discovery. Instantly Read, Listen, and Watch with Your Library Card.
As we move toward the summer season, declining COVID-19 numbers and promising vaccine results have us all looking forward to the day when the pandemic is behind us. That day is coming soon, but in the meantime we continue to be diligent and protect one another as best we can. We can’t wait to visit our Library partners, and we know you’re excited to invite your patrons back into your buildings.
This school year was different from any we have experienced before, but summer reading is a constant that everyone can rely on. It’s one of our favourite times of the year! hoopla is proud to present our collections that align with the TD Summer Reading Club theme for 2021, Game On! The theme this year focuses on sportsmanship, teamwork, physical activity, and more, through the lens of sports and games. With more than 950,000 titles available instantly, hoopla is the perfect companion for whatever the summer brings—road trips, backyard barbeques, evenings on the couch, and more. And with programs like our Book Club, Graphic Novel Book Club, and Bonus Borrows, as well as the continuing rollout of hoopla Flex, there is always something great to look forward to!
Have a wonderful summer! Jeff and the team at hoopla
