Lesson 9 Part 1 Hoopla

In Hoopla, three of the top Audiobook titles are The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, People I Want to Punch in the Throat, and Orange is the New Black. Services like Hoopla are making the library more accessible for some of the populations we serve - those with fast, reliable internet at home and a device with which to access content. They can be very convenient, but they can also cause significant confusion and often necessitate specialized library programs to help users learn to use and navigate the services. Some libraries are circulating devices and tools (like WiFi hotspots) to make these services accessible to more of their patrons, which I can certainly appreciate and understand. I'm looking forward to seeing how these programs work.
