Hoopla Update

Pasco Libraries continually evaluates the content, usage, and cost of our online resources and after careful consideration, we will be discontinuing the Hoopla streaming service on March 31, 2025.

We are committed to providing an excellent selection of online materials and while the Hoopla service has been appreciated for its convenience and variety, its pricing model makes it unsustainable for us to maintain. Pasco Libraries is excited to enhance both our digital and physical collection by reallocating resources to other platforms.
