Dear {contactfield=firstname|Library Patron},
[Library Name] is making some updates to improve your digital reading experience! Beginning December 30, 2025, our library will discontinue Hoopla Digital so we can focus on expanding access through Libby (by OverDrive)—your one-stop app for eBooks, audiobooks, and magazines.
This change allows us to invest more in the titles and collections you love while keeping digital access sustainable for years to come. Starting in 2026, we’ll be adding more popular and high-demand titles to Libby to reduce wait times and bring you even more great reads.
Thank you for your support as we build a stronger, more affordable digital library for everyone!
