Hoopla, for your entertainment!
One of my New Year resolutions for 2014 was to save money. I must confess, I have not been very good at keeping this resolution so far. One of the many reasons for my failing attempt at saving money, is date nights. A night out, consisting of dinner and a movie can really add up to some hefty bills!
I strengthened my resolve to save money the past weekend, and instead of heading out to the theatres, I enjoyed a free movie at home instead. All thanks to Hoopla.
Hoopla launched live on the Toronto Public Library website this past week. What is Hoopla? Well, Hoopla is a digital media platform which offers full length feature movies, television episodes and music albums at no cost to you (provided you are a Toronto Public Library member).
Whether you are in the mood for a heartwarming family movie about a little pig, Babe
Or an adrenaline pumping movie filled with action and fancy race cars, 2Fast2Furious
Hoopla has just about something for everyone. The best part? The content on the website is always available to you! There is no waiting, it is complete instant gratification.
Perhaps, instead of watching a movie, you'd rather relax and listen to some music? Well, Hoopla has that covered for you too.
Listen to music by popular artists such as Katy Perry, One Republic , Lorde , Taylor Swift and many more. I have another confession to make, I've had a certain Disney song stuck in my head the past couple of days. Yes, it is from the movie Frozen. And it's Let it Go. So much so, that I had to download the soundtrack album, Frozen from Hoopla.
There is a lot more content available through Hoopla. For more information? Check out the Hoopla – Borrow Music and Video Online section of the Toronto Public Library website.
