The Westchester Library System (WLS) works to respond to community needs by connecting people with the resources, services and programs available through their public libraries and WLS. When the COVID pandemic caused the temporary closure of Westchester’s libraries in 2020, WLS responded by increasing access to digital collections and doubled the number of checkouts on the hoopla and Kanopy platforms.
WLS kept those higher checkout levels for as long as possible, but the rising costs of allowing these extra checkouts has become too expensive. WLS will continue to provide access to hoopla and Kanopy, but effective November 1, 2025, the number of monthly checkouts per person will be 5 for Hoopla and 30 tickets for Kanopy.
We thank you for your understanding and for your ongoing support.
