Hoopla's cost-per-circulation pricing model means that Plainsboro Library gets charged a fee for every item checked out. This pricing model, lack of popularity, and cost make Hoopla impractical, prompting us to focus on more popular digital content like Libby (eBooks, eAudio), PressReader (Newspapers & Magazines), and Kanopy (Movies & TV). These services allow us to control spending while still providing the digital materials our patrons want. By discontinuing Hoopla, we can allocate our budget to better serve our patrons. Serving YOU is still our top priority. |
