January Electronic Resource of the Month

The January eResource of the Month is Hoopla Comics.  Hoopla is a digital streaming platform that allows patrons to access e-comics, e-books, e-audiobooks, and movies.  Fifteen comic book publishers provide access to their comics through Hoopla’s delivery service.  These publishers include the likes of DC Comics, Disney Comics, and Dark Horse.  You can use your computer or mobile device to stream or download up to 15 titles a month.  Each comic is available for a 3-week loan period and is returned automatically at the end of the period.

Hoopla is available at all Los Angeles Public Library locations, remotely from the LAPL’s website under the eMedia link (http://www.lapl.org/collections-resources/e-media), or by downloading the HOOPLA app to your tablet or smartphone.   You will need an email address along with your Los Angeles Public Library card and PIN to set up a Hoopla account.
