Your Library Card # should be entered with no spaces and your PIN is the last 4 digits of your phone number.
NOTE: You will get a message once a year that your library card has “expired” and that you won’t be able to access NCDL. This just means that you need to contact the library and update your contact information with us. Once you do that, you will have full access again.
If your PIN ever changes, contact the library and get it updated, then go to your hoopla account and update it under Settings as well.
Browse and Borrow You can then browse the entire Hoopla collection that includes over 300,000 books (ebook, audiobook & comics), music (albums), movies and television shows!
Just the facts... There's no wait to borrow popular audiobooks, ebooks, movies, TV shows, or music albums. AND, you can checkout items up to 3 times each month.
Tips: If it’s at the end of the day, you may get a message about reaching the “daily lending limit”. You would just need to checkout the next day. Also, if it’s near the end of a month, you might want to add titles to your Favorites list so you can start with a full month worth of checkouts.
