Maximize the power of your library card! Carnegie Public Library recently added a new streaming resource for you. With this new resource — “hoopla” — patrons can now instantly read, watch, and listen to their choice of more than 1,000,000 titles (audiobooks, eBooks, comics, music, movies, and TV) for free with their Carnegie Public Library card. Content can be streamed from any computer or mobile device by downloading the hoopla digital app for iOS and Android. With the addition of this resource, the library now offers library card holders a vast digital collection, that complements the Ohio Digital Library.

Hoopla has pioneered a unique model that allows patrons to borrow content immediately from anywhere. Its platform integrates multiple media formats into a single intuitive user experience. The hoopla digital collection includes popular entertainment and educational content such as hit TV series, newly released music, bestselling audiobooks and eBooks, and much more.

Entitled “A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words,” on display are many old photos of buildings and street scenes. You have old photographs of your own? There are several ways to identify those old pictures stuffed in drawers or boxes. Begin by asking older members within your family. There is nothing better than first-hand knowledge. Next, try to identify an automobile year and model, or reference a person’s clothing style. Then, check out old newspapers or look at the patron/advertiser section of old high school yearbooks, or even go to a computer and check out mapping apps or other programs that might be related to a photo. There are often clues found on or within your old pictures. You just have to do a little detective work.
