Last week we announced the launch of BingePass, a new hoopla program that offers patrons unlimited use of content collections for a period of time with just one Instant borrow. Now let’s take a look at one of our initial BingePass offerings: hoopla Magazines!
With hoopla Magazines, patrons can read current issues of more than 50 popular periodicals. There are titles for all ages and interests, including such magazines as Elle, Golf Magazine, Popular Mechanics, Time for Kids, and many more. Each issue is designed specifically for digital use, so whether in the app or through a browser, it’s easy to swipe through and enjoy the articles and images just like you were holding the actual magazine. There’s even an option to easily listen to an audio version of each article.
One Instant borrow grants patrons access to all the great hoopla Magazines content for a period of seven days. Users can view a list of all magazines included before they decide to borrow, and once they do, they can enjoy one article or read all 50+ magazines cover to cover. One borrow is all it takes! And the current lineup is just the beginning—the number of titles available will grow over time.
So spread the word! On the hoopla Resource Center you’ll find images perfect for use on your library’s social media channels to let your patrons know about hoopla Magazines. This is one of two BingePass offerings available now for users to enjoy, with more to come in 2022!
