 @3ba5878d @8b189dd1 I feel like you’re always willing to be helpful about library inner workings. Any idea?

 @ae43a286 @3ba5878d Oh hey, it varies a lot. The general rule of thumb (and I'm not even sure if this is true for Hoopla) is that Hoopla charges "per use" whereas Overdrive usually has a book available at a single cost for a set amount of time, though some charge by checkouts. In general, if you want to read the book, check out the book. If you're just curious about it, consider other ways of getting more info first. Use your library. Enjoy your library.

 @8b189dd1 @ae43a286 Thanks for the info!! I was just looking at Hoopla today and realized they didn't have holds and wondered if that was due to a different pricing model. I do use and enjoy my library! All the time!
