Yes. Please contact us at 812.428.8200 ext. 1515 or via AskEVPL for assistance with resetting your login information for hoopla. We will verify your library account and then check hoopla’s system for your credentials; we can reset your email address and password for you.
EVPL sets a PIN for all accounts. During our catalog upgrade in August 2023, all PINs were reset to the last 4 digits of your phone number on file; if you had no phone number, they were reset to your zip code on file. You can reset your PIN online. To add or update a PIN in hoopla on iOS, Android, or the hoopla website, follow the steps in this tutorial.
If you have reached out to your local library, and the library card isn’t expired, another possibility is that your PIN is invalid. To get this corrected, you will need to contact your local library or visit their website, then learn how to update it on hoopla.
No – All users must have their own, unique email address. If you need assistance creating an email address, please contact the EVPL Tech Helpdesk at EVPL Central.
Due to the many brands and models, we are unable to help with a smart TV; however, you can review the help guides on hoopla’s help site, or reach out to your TV manufacturer. You can also write to hoopla for help by emailing feedback@hoopladigital.com.

Once you make your selection, you will have access to your BingePass borrow for seven days. Some BingePass borrows let you explore content directly within a partner’s platform, while others give you access to whole collections right on hoopla.
