Manchester City Library

The Manchester City Library began offering Hoopla in 2017 on a trial basis to provide streaming music and movies. Since starting Hoopla, the costs associated with the service have risen steadily. Although it is free for patrons to use, MCL gets charged for every item a patron checks out. The more Hoopla gets used, the more it costs. We believe the pricing model and cost of Hoopla make it unsustainable for MCL, and will reallocate our resources to other digital content. 

While patrons will no longer be able to access Hoopla, they will still be able to access content from OverDrive/Libby, CloudLibrary, and Kanopy. 

You do not have to cancel or delete your Hoopla access. Starting the evening of August 31, 2023 you will simply no longer be able to borrow Hoopla content. Unfortunately, there isn’t another way to access Hoopla, unless you are a member of another library or library system that offers it.

If there were titles carried by Hoopla that aren’t available through our other ebook providers, you can recommend those for purchase by contact the library at 603-624-6550 ext. 7619 or [email protected].
