The selection of titles on Hoopla is shaped by several factors, including licensing agreements and lending policies set by publishers and libraries. A licensing agreement outlines what digital media—books, audiobooks, music, and videos—a digital library like Hoopla can distribute. These agreements define availability, loan limits, and even which titles can be offered as part of digital book lending programs. 

Your library also plays a key role. Individual libraries make decisions about what digital content to offer based on budget, library pricing, and patron demand. Occasionally, a title may be temporarily unavailable due to a content restriction or because Hoopla has lost distribution rights. 

Patrons can help shape the collection through book title requests. If you want to know how to request a book from the library online, check if your library allows you to request books through their catalog or Hoopla’s suggestion feature. These recommendations are shared with Hoopla’s content team for future consideration. 

While publisher availability may limit certain titles, Hoopla continually adds new releases. Our goal is to provide a diverse range of digital content and improve access, even when full series cannot be offered due to licensing limitations.
