Hoopla

What’s all the hoopla about Hoopla? Where do we start? Hoopla has a huge movie library that ranges from classic films all the way to titles just released this year. In addition to a really impressive movie library, you can also use Hoopla to checkout eBooks, eAudiobooks, comics, and music. You can check out up to 8 Hoopla titles per month, and every title is always available—no waitlists, no overdue fines, no worries!

Kanopy

With over 30,000 titles and content partners such as the Criterion Collection, HBO Documentary Films, Paramount, PBS, and more, Kanopy offers a robust collection of award winning films, documentaries, independent films, and classics. You can stream up to 4 titles per month and like Hoopla, every title is always available—no need to worry about hold lists or returning titles on time.
