Digital Materials
Thanks to the generosity of the Friends of the Library, we are proud to introduce the latest provider of media to our collection of digital materials - Hoopla.
Now, in addition to the 9,500 ebooks and eaudiobooks our patrons have enjoyed from Overdrive, Durango Public Library has added more than 1 MILLION TITLES for stream/download through Hoopla. From movies, music and television shows to magazines, graphic novels, comic books and the Great Courses series (as well as more ebooks & eaudiobooks), our Hoopla collection will provide endless entertainment on your phone, tablet, desktop or smart television.
For those looking to access academic- or research-oriented materials, please visit our online databases page.

Libby, by Overdrive FAQs
- Patrons can have up to 10 items checked out at a time.
- The default checkout period is 14 days (which can be adjusted in user settings).

- You can stack multiple library accounts in the Libby app. For example, if you have a library card with Denver Public Library in addition to your Durango card, simply add Denver Public Library to the app, enter your Denver Public Library card information and browse & checkout from that collection, as well. Downloaded items from multiple libraries are available simultaneously within the app.
