What's the HOOPLA About at RRPL?

Rocky River Public Library is excited to announce the availability of thousands of free movies, television shows, music albums and audiobooks for mobile and online access through a new partnership with hoopla digital. All you need is a valid RRPL card!

RRPL card holders can download the free hoopla digital mobile app on their Android or IOS device or visit hoopladigital.com to begin enjoying thousands of titles – from major Hollywood studios, record companies and publishers – available to borrow for instant streaming or temporary downloading to their smartphones, tablets and computers. The app is designed for patrons of all ages and skill levels. It's as easy to navigate as the library shelves.

There’s also no waiting to borrow popular movies, TV shows, albums or audiobooks.  And hoopla digital’s automatic return feature eliminates late fees.

To access the system on your mobile device, you will need first to download the free hoopla digital app from the App Store on your Android or IOS device.  There is no need to download an app or extension for your internet browser. 

Once you have downloaded the app to your device and clicked on the hoopla digital link on our website, www.rrpl.org, you will be prompted to enter your e-mail address, a password, your library card number, and your library card PIN number.  The system will validate that you are in good standing with the library, so that you may begin to browse, borrow, and enjoy the content. 

Come see what all the hoopla’s about!

  • You will be able to begin streaming the content immediately. You can also download content to view at a later date.
  • You will be allowed to borrow seven items each month.
    • Movies and television lend for three days
    • Music lends for seven days
    • Audiobooks lend for 21 days
    • You are able to view or listen to borrowed content as often as you want during the checkout period and you can return any borrowed title whenever you want.

Unlike other streaming audio and video services, patrons do not pay a subscription fee, making hoopla the first app of its kind for public libraries. To learn more about hoopla, visit www.rrpl.org. or call us at 440-333-7610.
