PRINCE FREDERICK, Md. (Sept. 3, 2015) – Calvert Library today announced public availability of thousands of movies, television shows, music albums, eBooks, audiobooks and comics, all available for mobile and online access through a new partnership with hoopla digital (hoopladigital.com).

 

Calvert Library card holders can now download the free hoopla digital mobile app on their Android or IOS device or visit hoopladigital.com to begin enjoying thousands of artists and titles – from major Hollywood studios, record companies and publishers – available to borrow 24/7, for instant streaming or temporary downloading to their smartphones, tablets, computers and Apple TV.  At this time, Calvert Library is allowing customers to borrow up to six hoopla items a month.

 

“We’re thrilled to have expanded the educational and recreational content available to the community,” said Carrie Plymire, Director of Calvert Library. “Partnering with hoopla digital allows customers access to a broad collection of popular and niche titles. Your library card connects you to this content via the hoopla app or website – free of charge. Plus with hoopla content, there is no waiting period for popular titles and the service’s automatic return means no late fees.”

 

Calvert Library is the eighth library system in the state of Maryland to partner with hoopla digital. Current partners include St. Mary’s County Library, Prince George’s County Memorial Library System, Montgomery County Memorial Library System, Harford County Public Library, Carroll County Public Library, Howard County Library and Cecil County Public Library.

We’ve worked for years to create a best-in-breed service that is fun, fast and reliable.  And we continue to secure content deals to expand our offering of popular and niche movies, TV shows, music, eBooks, audiobooks and comics.”
