Hoopla has announced the extension of its Bonus Borrows program for the holiday season. From December 18 through December 31, users can access Bonus Borrow audiobooks and e-books for free without counting towards their monthly borrow limits. All that’s required is a library card to take advantage of this offering.

A variety of titles are included in this program. Featured books include *The Bride of Rosecliff* by Rexanne Becnel, *Breathing Meditations*, *The Totally True Story of Gracie Byrne* by Shannon Takaoka, and more. For those interested in streaming content, Hoopla’s “BingePass” provides access to the GET HEALTHY series, featuring at-home workout sessions.

This offering is available through the Akron-Summit Library in Akron, Ohio, as part of Hoopla's ongoing efforts to encourage reading and wellness during the holiday season. Access to these materials can be found online via Hoopla's platform.
