| Checking In With Hoopla Digital |
|
by Brandi Scardilli
|
| Hoopla Digital, one of the major econtent-lending platforms for libraries, reached out to ITI NewsBreaks to discuss its approach to helping physical libraries navigate the digital world. NewsBreaks has covered Hoopla quite a bit in 2025, especially because it is regularly creating new BingePasses that can help libraries afford its content, so I decided it was important to do a year-end check-in with the company. |
