Important eLibrary Announcement
What’s Changing: Starting April 1, a daily collective spending cap for Hoopla services will be implemented. Once the collective daily cap is reached, you will be unable to checkout Hoopla items until the cap resets at midnight.
Why This Change Is Necessary: Hoopla’s usage has dramatically increased over the years, which is exciting. It’s great to know that library users are enthusiastic about borrowing eAudiobooks (the most popular offering) and other items from the eLibrary!
However, since Hoopla operates on a pay-per-use checkout model, the increased usage has put a great deal of pressure on Eastern Shore Regional Library’s (ESRL) budget. The new collective daily spending cap is necessary in order for ESRL to continue providing the service to library users on the Eastern Shore within budgetary constraints.
