Did you know? Among our other BCCLS-friendly online resources, Wallington's public library offers a subscription to Hoopla, a digital streaming service filled with fantastic ebooks, comics, movies, music, audiobooks, and more. The coolest thing about Hoopla is the very wide range of collections it offers! New and old movies, comics for adults and for kids (we know they love them!), and music ranging from classic to contemporary, with a wide range of genres and pre-made playlists you can stream right from your phone, tablet, Kindle, or computer.
For kids growing restless at home, the entertainment factor on Hoopla is nearly limitless. There's educational books and movies (like an in-depth look at Fiona the Hippo, who stole everyone's hearts not too long ago), and a few throw-back classics you may want to introduce them to (anybody else remember falling in love with It Takes Two, featuring the Olsen twins?). There's even audiobook readings of some of their favorite story time books (like Dragons Love Tacos, one of Miss Marlene's top picks).

We're pleased to say that Hoopla is offering "Bonus Borrows" to help out all their subscribers (like our patrons!) while the libraries remain closed. There's a TON of new, free resources and selections available for the time being, including free access to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in ebook and audiobook.
