If anyone is looking for a free streaming app that works with their library card check this out https://www.hoopladigital.com/home;jses ... A1449A4253

If your library does not support it yet just tell them to signup for the service.

Neat. My local library system (Brevard County Libraries) has a reciprocal agreement with Orange County Libraries (which is listed on the hoopla site)... but the site won't take my library card number. I'll ask Brevard to join.

Response from Brevard Library: "We do not subscribe to their video and music library due to county budgetary constraints. The Brevard County Library actually provides a similar service through Overdrive."

I checked out Overdrive's Brevard site... it only has e-books and audiobooks. No music or movies.

All you need is a library card from a participating library then. If Orange County is part of the Hoopla Network just sign up for a library card from them. That will give you access to the site. I wonder if Overdrive is a competitor and they are locked into a contract with them?
