Webinar details how Boopsie users can now access hoopla. A few weeks ago, hoopla announced an exciting new partnership with Boopsie, the industry-leading mobile platform-as-a-service (PaaS) provider. This new partnership makes it easier for branded mobile apps of participating libraries to easily connect to hoopla digital’s app, providing immediate access to our more than 170,000 popular movies, TV shows, music albums, and audiobooks. In support of this partnership, now there’s a new on-demand webinar that completely walks through how easy it is for library patrons currently using Boopsie to access hoopla. So, if you are currently offering Boopsie to your patrons and want to share with them how they can quickly access hoopla, this short webinar
demonstrates how easy it is to do just that! Boopsie provides an app-to-app link to the hoopla mobile app on both iOS and Android using their App-finder service. As hoopla continues to look for ways to add even more value to our library customers, we truly believe partnering with Boopsie better serves patrons using library-branded mobile apps by allowing them to easily discover our service, download our app, and immediately access and enjoy all of hoopla digital’s content. Questions? Contact us at 800-875-2785. We’re excited to partner with Boopsie as just another way of ensuring hoopla digital delivers great experiences, not just to library patrons, but to library systems and staff as well.

hoopla partners with popular craft blog to feature craft inspired by Locomotive! The blogger, Jessica from Cutesy Crafts, created an original craft project for kids that was inspired by her own three children and what they learned from watching Locomotive. Jessica shared, “The movie is filled with beautiful illustrations from the book and gives a great history lesson to the kids about trains and the railroad. After watching the movie, the kids were SO excited to make their own train. They pulled it around the house, dropping the stuffed animals off at different stations. They even pretended that the animals were shoveling coal, which was something that they learned from the movie.� For the directions on how you and your patrons can create this fun shoebox train visit http://www.pinterest.com/hoopladigital/ all-aboard/. Locomotive from Dreamscape is available instantly on hoopla.
