Hoopla Instant
Hoopla Instant titles—marked by a lightning bolt icon⚡—are available anytime with no holds or waitlists. You’ll continue to have access to over 1.9 million instantly available titles and enjoy 12 Instant borrows per month.
What’s included with Instant?
- Movies, TV shows, comics, music, e-books, audiobooks, and BingePasses
- Always available to stream or download instantly
Hoopla Flex
Hoopla Flex offers a curated selection of popular and high-demand audiobooks, handpicked by library staff based on patron requests and anticipated demand. Flex titles—identified by a revolving arrow icon🔄—allow you to borrow up to 5 Flex titles at a time, with the option to place holds if an item is checked out. If you run out of Flex borrows, simply return one title and select a new one. This way, you will never run out of content options!
How does Hoopla Flex work?
- One person at a time can borrow a Flex title, similar to traditional library lending.
- If an item is unavailable, simply place a hold and Hoopla will notify you when it’s ready.
- Unlike Instant borrows, Flex borrows do not reset monthly. Each borrow lasts 21 days with up to two renewals (as long as no one else is waiting).
- Our initial Flex collection focuses on audiobooks—the most in-demand format among our patrons already using Hoopla. Additional formats may be added in the future.
Why use both Hoopla Instant & Flex?
With Hoopla Instant, you have the freedom to stream a wide range of content anytime, anywhere. Hoopla Flex gives you access to sought-after audiobooks, perfect for when you’ve used up your Instant borrows or want to reserve high-demand titles.
Both collections are available through the same Hoopla app you already love, keeping it simple to browse, borrow, and explore!
