If you haven’t taken advantage of the EVPL app, you’re missing out on an easy-to-use digital resource provided by the library. The EVPL app is your one-stop-shop for engaging with content, in-person, and online.
The app makes it especially easy to see which collection includes our digital items. For example, just last week I was talking to a friend in a Facebook group and learned about a television program she enjoyed. This title is New Blood, by BBC.
Excited to explore this new show, I went to place it on hold using the EVPL app. I searched our app for New Blood, and lo and behold, I found out we have the show, as well as many other titles, available on Hoopla!
I was so excited that I went ahead and started streaming the first series immediately. I simply tapped “View in Hoopla” in the EVPL app, and I was immediately redirected to the page in the Hoopla app to begin borrowing episodes. I was able to use the AirPlay feature in my phone to send these videos directly to my television and enjoy a great evening of good television. Your device may allow different features like Chromecast streaming, as well as connecting to digital services on Roku and Amazon Fire TV devices.
