Yes the Otsego District Library is discontinuing Hoopla service effective April 21st due to the unsustainable pricing model.
Other concerns included the poor quality AI content in the catalog and current class action lawsuit against Hoopla.

Dear Librarians,
Are any of you discontinuing Hoopla due to unsustainable costs per month? We seem to be experiencing large increases.
