Interesting.

Hoopla is an entirely different application, entirely different service than Libby.

And if I'm understanding right, it's a catalog that a library can gain access to.

And if that library has access to it, then if you're a client of that library, you can

therefore also have access to it.

So it's like instead of buying the rights to a single book, you have the rights to an entire collection of books.

Now, do Hoopla titles, is it like Libby where you can only check out one at a time?

Wow.

Okay.

And I know Libby, it's pretty popular with our listeners for getting audiobooks.

And just to be absolutely clear, it's totally free, right?

As director of collections, are you the one making those purchases?

Huh.

Okay.

How do you go about choosing what audio books you buy for your Libby platform?

They've locked it down.

You can only get that on Audible.

Audiobooks are expensive and if you have to wait a couple weeks to get to an audiobook to get it for free, I think a lot of people would do that.

So it's totally well worth it.

Signing up for your local library and then registering through Libby so you can see what audiobooks they have available.
