Using the Hoopla website to read e-books

1) Go to the Hoopla website (hoopladigital.com) for free e-books to read on

your computer. You will need a Loudoun County Library card and a current

email address (no money, no credit cards!!). If you do not have a Loudoun

County library card, you can call the Loudoun County library help desk

(which is still operational) at 703-777-0323. They will help you get one.

2) Click on the “Get Started today” box in the middle of the page.

3) Create your free account with hoopla by putting in your email address. You

will need to make up a password for your Hoopla account.

4) You will then be asked for your Library Card number which is on the back of

your library card. You will also need to enter your Library Card password

which is your birthdate. Please enter your birth date using 6 digits only.

For example, if you were born on September 4, 1950, your password would

be 090450.

5) This will create your “My Hoopla” page. It will keep track of the books you

read and give you suggestions based on what books you choose.

6) Go to the “Browse” tab and click on “Ebooks”. This will take you to a page

where you will see all your ebook choices.

ways. You then click on the book you want to read. For example, “The

you a story summary, and how long you will be able to read the book. If

you want to read the e-book, click on the “borrow” tab.
