Our digital library .... just... got... BIGGER!

Have you heard of Hoopla? It's a free service that's incredibly easy to sign up for - all you need is your library card! You can access Hoopla by downloading the app or using your browser. Plus, if you have a smart TV, you can even watch movies and TV shows directly on there. With over 500,000 titles to choose from, including ebooks, audiobooks, music, movies and TV shows, there's something for everyone on Hoopla.

Hoopla Digital is made available to our patrons by a generous donation from

Judy Felland. Thank you, Judy!

Please note:

• There is a limit of 5 items per month, per card.  Borrow accordingly. 

•               This service is for Saint Joseph Library cardholders only.    You must be a resident of St. Joseph City, St. Joseph township, or be a fee cardholder.   

Checkout periods are: 

• 21 days for ebooks and audiobooks 

• 7 days for music 

• 3 days for movies & TV

"I haven't hit my limit. Why can't I borrow?"

Hoopla charges us a small fee each time an item is checked out.  How we maintain control of our budget is by having an overall monthly budget cap set.   This budget cap is then divided by the number of days in the month and it creates a daily cap.   Once we have reached the daily cap for the library, all requests that day are blocked.   Don't worry, it doesn't mean your account is not in good standing!   You just have to try again another day.   With this cap in mind, please be courteous and only check out items that you will be able to read/listen to in the 2 week circulation period.
