Ever wanted to listen to a book on the Libby app, but there was a long waiting list? What if you have nothing to listen to? Hoopla is a great choice if you want to download something right away. Hoopla often doesn’t have the newest releases, but try finding older titles of authors you particularly like.
If you haven’t already, now’s a good time to sign up for an account (Wayland residents only) by going to waylandlibrary.org and clicking on the icon for Hoopla, or by going to the app store and downloading the app. It’s also worth trying older titles of authors you particularly like. Hoopla might have it and if they do, you get it right now!
