"Throughout its 150-year history, the St. Louis Public Library's mission has been to provide resources that improve the community. Our new partnership with hoopla digital does just that," said Rob Tygett, Manager of Digital Library Services for the St. Louis Public Library. "We're enthusiastically embracing the digital revolution by adopting new services that keep our patrons connected when they're on-the-go. All they need is a valid library card to access this content at slpl.org. There's no waiting period for hot titles, and hoopla's automatic return means there are no late fees. The best part is that it's absolutely free!"
