Download and stream your favorite books, music and film titles for free with hoopla, a new digital streaming service at the North Olympic Library System.

Using hoopla allows library patrons to stream or download movies, entire music albums and audiobooks using their library card. Accessing media on hoopla means no waiting and no holds — borrowed titles will automatically be returned when they’re due, and that means no late fines or lost items, either.

The program is compatible with both PCs and Macs and an array of smartphones and tablets.

To start using hoopla, visit www.nols.org and select “Downloads” and then “hoopla.” At this time, patrons may stream or download up to seven titles per month. For more information about how to get started, visit or call your nearest NOLS library.
