Hoopla Accounts & Library Cards

From Marianne Lorio:

Hello:

This e-mail is just to clarify an issue that was brought up by a patron recently.

If you have both a Harris County Public Library card and a Houston Public Library card it is possible to checkout items from using both libraries' Hoopla accounts. This will allow you to have both the checkouts available as a Harris County patron and as a Houston Library patron. To do this you need to create two Hoopla accounts, one under each library card number. The trick is that you have to use two different e-mails to create the accounts. Otherwise Hoopla will automatically assume you are merely updating your library card information, not create two separate accounts. The process is not difficult you just need two separate e-mails. Let me know if you have any questions.
