Mary L. Cook Public Library today announced public availability of thousands of movies, television shows, music albums and audiobooks, all available for mobile and online access through a new partnership with hoopla digital (hoopladigital.com). Waynesville 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 titles – from major Hollywood studios, record companies and publishers – available to borrow for instant streaming or temporary downloading to their smartphones, tablets, computers and Apple TV.

“Since our founding in 1917, we’ve remained committed to providing our patrons with the materials they want in a format that’s useful,” said Linda Swartzel, Director at Mary L. Cook Public Library. “Making popular videos, music and audiobooks available with hoopla is a natural expansion and speaks to the evolution of our current offerings. With this new service, patrons only need a library card to access this content on the hoopla app or web site and all content is free of charge.  It’s also digital, so there is no waiting period for popular titles and hoopla’s automatic return means no late fees.”  “With hoopla digital, it is our mission to help public libraries meet the needs of the mobile generation. 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 the offering of movies, TV shows, music and audiobooks,” said Jeff Jankowski founder and owner of hoopla digital.
