Beginning March 1, 2025, we will be adjusting the monthly checkout limit on Hoopla from 5 items to 3. It was a tough decision that was not made lightly. We know our community loves this online resources the library provides.
Over the past few years, the price of digital content has risen significantly with some libraries having to pay three times as much as regular customers for eBooks. Like other libraries, we face the challenge of maintaining access to digital materials while managing rising expenses and major increases in use. We began by introducing daily or monthly spending caps last year. Unfortunately, that wasn’t enough to offset the cost increases.
We are now implementing the next option which is reducing the monthly checkout limit. This small change will ease the financial strain while equitably providing a beloved resource and remaining committed to sustainable access to a wide range of digital materials.
