Akron-Summit Library Offers Free Netflix-Like Service
The Akron-Summit County Library is offering a new online service to access books, movies, and music. The library has teamed up with Hoopla, described as a Netflix-like online service, to offer users 24/7 online and mobile access to the library.
"We do intend to do a lot more with digital to make library accessible," said Collection Development Coordinator Val Sherman. "No matter where you are, we'll be there for you."
There's a checkout limit for library card holders -- just 10 items per month, but there are no fines since the items automatically return after the checkout period has ended.
"You can have a video for about three days and it'll just automatically return. You won't have to worry about fines."
The Akron-Summit County Library is just one of dozens in Ohio that have partnered with the new digital service.
