Mahwah Library offers free streaming media service
The Mahwah Public Library is the first library in New
Jersey to offer “Hoopla,” a streaming media service that
allows library members to enjoy popular movies, television
programs, music, and more on their computer, tablet, or
smartphone. Mahwah Library members can download the free
Hoopla digital mobile app on their Android or iOS device
or visit hoopladigital.com to begin enjoying thousands of
titles available to borrow for instant streaming or tempo-
rary downloading to their smartphones, tablets, and com-
puters. There are thousands of titles, including selections
from major Hollywood studios, record companies, and
publishers, and all titles are available all the time – no more
waiting for items on hold.
“We’ve seen a tremendous demand for technologies that
allow library members to borrow movies, music and other
items on-the-go through their PC or mobile device,” said
Library Director Kurt Hadeler. “We hope our patrons will
love the new service and how easy it is to use the hoopla
app. There is no waiting period for popular titles and Hoop-
la’s automatic return means no late fees. It doesn’t get any
easier than that.”
Once a title is checked out on one device, it is auto-
matically available on all of the member’s devices with the
Hoopla digital app and/or via PC Web browsers and begins
streaming immediately. Downloaded content can also be
viewed offline at a later date. Videos can be borrowed for
72 hours, music for seven days, and audiobooks for 21 days.
All content can be viewed or listened to as often as desired
during the checkout period and can be returned early.

wahlibrary.org or contact the library at (201) 529-7323.
