If you can't log in to hooplause the Don't remember your password? link on hoopla's sign in page. Note: Your hoopla password is different than your Library PIN/Password.

In hoopla you may encounter this error when borrowing an item:

Sorry, it appears that something is wrong with your library card or PIN. Please double check your info in settings and if you still have issues contact your local library at 512-974-7475 for support.
