Hoopla, a free streaming app for library patrons, has partnered with Hasbro Entertainment to bring Hasbro franchises into public libraries. The app added five new Hasbro BingePasses and SeasonPasses to its kid-friendly catalog of more than 40 passes.
Why it matters
The partnership gives library cardholders free, no-wait access to Hasbro-licensed streaming, comics, audiobooks, music, and eBooks. It expands how public libraries in the U.S., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand provide family entertainment.
Hoopla now offers over 40 kid-friendly BingePasses and SeasonPasses, with the five new Hasbro passes adding to that catalog. BingePasses provide 7 days of unlimited on-demand streaming at no cost, and SeasonPasses allow borrowing an entire season for 7 days.
