Seven study rooms are available for groups of 2-10 to use for everything from conference calls to small group meetings.

April Focus: Hoopla Digital

Hoopla Digital

Patrons often ask about borrowing music CDs from the Library.

Hoopla has no hold lists, no extra accounts needed or special steps to use it. Delaware Library patrons are given six borrows per month -- with extra free borrows during bonus months! -- which automatically replenish on the first of each month. New to Hoopla? Start with this tutorial.
