 Hi there. I'm Connie. I'm a teen librarian at San Francisco Public Library, and today I'm here to show you how to hoopla. First, you're going to need your library card and a valid email address. If you have questions about your library card account, reach out to us. We're here to help. Contact information will be provided at the end of this video. Today, we're going to cover four topics. We're going to talk about how to access hoopla, so how to find it, how to create an account, how to search and find materials on hoopla, and how to check out and access those materials. So first, how do I get to hoopla? So there are two ways you can get on hoopla. You can go directly to hoopladigital.com, or you can navigate it to hoopla on our website, sfpl.org. You're going to click on Books and Media, and you can either click e-audiobooks or e-book collections. Either one will lead you there. We're going to scroll down a little, and once you see this hoopla icon here, we're going to click through, and that's how you get on hoopla. How do I create an account? So to create an account, you just click Get Started Today or Sign Up. You're going to type in your email address, and make sure those match. And then you're going to type in whatever password you like, and click through. You're going to select your library, so San Francisco Public Library, and you're going to type in your library card. And that's it. That's how you create an account. If you already have an account, you can log in here. How do I find stuff? Big question. How do I find stuff? So the search bar on hoopla is located at the top of the screen. So you can type in whatever you like to search, whether it's a title, an author, a topic. Today we're going to look for New Kid. And to the left of that search bar is a drop-down menu where you can limit your search to your formats. So you can search just audiobooks, movies, music, e-books, comics. You can even search under Publishers and Series and Categories. So we're going to go ahead and enter. And then to the left again, you can limit your search even more by things like formats, release date, language, rating. So let's just look for e-books. So that's how you search. Overwhelmed by the selection and you're not sure what's for kids or do you want just kids-only content? There's this handy-dandy kids mode right on the top of the screen right next to the search bar. You can click it and what this does is it limits all your searches to kid-friendly content. To deactivate it, you just click it again, the check mark goes away, and now you're searching the entire Hoopla catalog. How do I check out? How do I find my materials? Well, you've got the title you want, ready to check out. Simply click on it and you're going to click on borrow. You're going to click on borrow title again and the button's going to change to read or play, and now you can start listening or reading or streaming. You can also access your materials under the My Hoopla button right on this top screen. It's going to show you everything you've checked out and click whatever you like to listen or read. Fun tip, find something and you're not sure you want to waste one of your 25 credits right now, you can simply click the favorites button in the shape of a heart right next to the borrow button. It's going to fill in that heart and it's going to save it under your favorites button, tab under My Hoopla, so you can click there and all your saved favorites will be there. So that's it for today. I hope this helps you out. If you have any questions about Hoopla or your library card, you can reach out to us at info at sfpl.org or call us at 415-557-4400 from Monday to Friday's 10 to 5. Bye!
