The holidays are upon us! The last months of the year offer a number of occasions to gather, reflect, celebrate, and look forward. And however you and your patrons celebrate, you can count on hoopla’s content experts to curate collections of titles that serve as the perfect complement, whether you’re staying home or travelling elsewhere.

Each year we look forward to offering this Holiday Look Book to highlight just a small sampling of all the content on hoopla that aligns with the spring and summer holidays, starting in October and running through New Year’s Day. And as always, there are plenty of materials available on the hoopla Resource Center to help you get the word out—about our holiday offerings, the Graphic Novel Book Club, Bonus Borrows, and other collections all year long. hoopla’s Instant collection offers more than 750,000 titles in music, audiobook, eBook, comics, movies, and TV, all available to patrons with no holds and no waiting. And now, hoopla Flex—our version of one-copy one-user functionality—allows you to offer patrons the latest and greatest titles on a digital platform they’re already familiar with. Contact your sales rep to learn more.

COVID-19 continues to affect our day-to-day lives, as well as our celebrations. Your commitment to your communities never ceases to inspire us. As your Library evolves and adapts to these ever-changing circumstances, we will do the same. We look forward to finding innovative new ways to serve you, into 2022 and beyond.

Wishing you all the best this holiday season, Jeff and the team at hoopla

Spotlight Selectio

GRAPHIC NOVEL BOOK CLUB Summer Edition: Nov. 1 - Jan. 31

Spotlight Selection:

Scott Pilgrim Vol. 1 Scott Pilgrim wants Ramona Flowers to be his girlfriend. However, she's got baggage in the form of seven evil exes, all of whom Scott must defeat to win her heart! The first two are Matthew Patel (and his demon hipster girls) and Lucas Lee (movie star famous for... skateboarding?). Can Scott focus long enough to take them out?

“Stitches together indie-rock attitude, video game logic, and romantic longing...a hilarious, idiosyncratic gem.”

—Washington Post

“Witty, self-aware dialogue and acute observational humor wink from the pages, and the result is an appealing, lighthearted account of a transitional period of life.”

—New York Times
