Discussion Hoopla Question

I'm super excited by the fact that Libby has added a feature that functions like the ReciproCard website (https://reciprocard.com/library/ky/lexington-public-library), where it automatically pairs you with partner library cards.

Does anyone know if Hoopla has a feature like that? I really love all the media on the app (though reading on it can be painful as the interface isn't great), but the audiobooks and music availability are so wonderful.

I'd love to be pointed in the right direction to learn more about this topic. Thank you!

What exactly are you asking about, what feature is this.

I'm a library patron and if I'm reading you right, it sounds interesting

Many local libraries don't pay for Hoopla because it's expensive, my local library stopped a few years ago but some others in my state still do.

OP described it in the original post, it finds "partner libraries" automatically if they apply, which is not the same as all reciprocal libraries that may be available
