Hoopla to End Service on May 31, 2026 | |
Eastern Shore Regional Library, Inc. has announced that effective June 1, 2026, it will no longer offer Hoopla, a digital media service that many patrons of TCFL have come to use and love.
While Hoopla has been a popular service for patrons of TCFL, “pay-per-use” models have become increasingly difficult for libraries to sustain. Because costs increase alongside popularity, this model has reached a point where it is no longer fiscally sustainable for the regional library system.
We understand this change may be disappointing. Please be assured that our commitment to providing excellent digital services and robust collections remains a top priority.
