You can borrow up to 4 titles per month. Borrows reset at midnight between the last day and first day of the next month.

If you don’t use your 4 borrows before month-end, the unused will NOT carry over. The following month you will still only have 4.

One month out of every quarter, hoopla will offer you “Bonus Borrows”, this is content that will not count towards your borrow limits. When available, your hoopla home page will show promotions and recommendations labeled as “Bonus Borrows”.

Unfortunately, due to the rising cost of titles on hoopla, Rogers Free Library has decided to set a budget limit on the cumulative cost of borrows per day. When the limit is reached each day by all of the RFL patrons who borrow, the limit will show up. This limit should reset at midnight to allow for more borrows on the next day.

Unfortunately, due to the rising cost of titles on hoopla, Rogers Free Library has decided to remove access to any Movies and TV shows that cost too much per each movie or episode. We do still offer full access to stream all the Movies and TV provided on our Kanopy service.

Yes, renew options appear 24 hours before your title would return automatically.
