And especially for libraries which offer Hoopla to paid patrons; Hoopla is hugely expensive.
Issybird, how much do you use Hoopla on your out of state libraries. I don't use it at all (for in state or out of state).

My library is cheap (they limit their "purchase" of overdrive ebooks due to cost) and yet they offer Hoopla, which makes me wonder how much Hoopla is actually getting used.
