Make the Most of Your Library: Hoopla Bonus Borrows |
|
So far this year, Pinal County library users have checked out more than sixteen thousand titles from our Hoopla digital collection, including more than 9,000 ebooks and comics, 1,300 audiobooks and music titles, and nearly 6,000 videos! But some of our users have been hampered by Hoopla's 7-item-per-month checkout limit. But our Hoopla Bonus Borrows can help you get around that problem!
For the month of November, we are offering this special collection of titles that don't count against your checkout limit. That means you can check out as many of these titles as you want! If you haven't tried Hoopla yet, this is a perfect time to do so. You can access the Bonus Borrows collection from our website homepage.
