Submitted by zachary.branstetter on Thu, 01/27/2022 - 10:59

Our guests LOVE their audiobooks! Over the past 12 months our guests have racked up approximately 56k audiobook circs among 21.8K unique titles on Hoopla alone. That's not counting Metro's 1.245 million audiobook circs on Overdrive. 

Thankfully, Hoopla is now available on Apple CarPlay, along with Android Auto, making it even easier for our guests to enjoy their favorite audiobooks in the car.

Please see the attached promotional and operational materials for both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, to share with our guests.
