We all know most Texas’
public libraries provide traditional library programs, children, youth
and adult programs, summer programs, genealogy resources, public access
computers with internet connections, and free Wi-Fi. But did you know that a
number of these public libraries are also providing a fairly new service called
Hoopla Digital. This is a Netflix type service that permits library
members to download movies, e-books, music and other entertainment to their
personal devices. Up to five may be downloaded each month either from the
library or online. The library pays a fee (sometimes a large fee) to Hoopla
Digital in order to provide you this free service. So next time you are
traveling remember that your child’s travel entertainment may be available from
your public library! Towns whose libraries currently offer this service include
Austin, Pflugerville, Abilene, Angleton, Cedar Park, Denton, Farmers Branch,
Frisco, Houston, Hurst, Irving, Lewisville, Longview, Euless, Richardson,
Rosenberg, Humble, Spring, Clear Lake City, Seabrook, El Lago, Katy, Crosby,
Cypress, Tomball, La Porte, Kingwood, Jacinto City, Galena Park, Highlands, Conroe,
Magnolia, Montgomery, New Caney, the Woodlands, Needville, Fulshear, Katy,
Sugar Land, Stafford, and Missouri City. Click on the Town menu bar at the top
