Challenge #1: Sign up and look around

1. Sign up for Hoopla. YES THAT'S REALLY IT! Okay, maybe take a look at the content too.

You can sign up for Hoopla on a computer using their website, hoopladigital.com, or through the app on your phone or tablet. It's available on the App Store for ios or Google Play for Android devices.

You can use your Hoopla account on as many different devices as you want, all at the same time. You might want to sign up and check things out on the website while you're on desk, then later add the app to your mobile device. 

In the comments, report:
Which devices are you using for Hoopla? Computer, ipad, kindle fire, phone, etc?

  1. I signed up! I will clearly not use this on my work computer, because that would not be appropriate, but I will, perhaps, use it on my home computer or my Android phone or tablet. Installed the app on the phone and will start there. I see some interesting movies popping up!

  3. I'm streaming the Hamilton cast recording right now on my work computer.

    I mainly use it for music at home, through my phone.

    At work on the CS iPad to play specific kids songs during storytime.

  5. I've been reading a comic book the past few nights on my iPad. It's better than the marvel comic book app, I can say that much!

  6. I like how I don't need my library card number to log into the app. I downloaded an album to my phone and also used it to play music in the branch from a work computer before we opened yesterday. - Brian Guenther

  12. I've been using Hoopla via the SFPL on my iPad for awhile. Read the whole Walking Dead comic book series and listened to a lot of music. I've switched my account it Oakland now. Hoopla is great!

  13. Just signed up! There's a pretty good selection of movies. I'll most likely access Hoopla on my Kindle Fire and also on my cellphone (samsung galaxy 6). I'm especially excited to try out the comics/graphic novel reader feature :) ~ Ashley Bonifacio

  14. I already had the Hoopla app on my Galaxy S6, but now I've signed up officially and immediately downloaded A Man Called Ove as an audio book. Downloaded in a couple of minutes or less! Now I can listen to it offline if I want. The book returns on Sept. 23 or can be returned instantly. --Emily O.

  18. I downloaded the app to my Android device. Unsettling that it asked for credit card info when I installed the device but I said no I wouldn't provide it and it still let me move onto signing up. I downloaded an album... it didn't say how long I could have it for. I like that you can create favorites.

  29. From Amy S: I logged in from my phone and work computer. The set up did ask me for the Library card #. I borrowed some music and then favorite several things and customized by genres. This did not seem to customize the recommendations that much. But I still found lots of great content!
