Changes to Libby and hoopla

Beginning Sunday, September 1, 2024 Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County libraries are making the following changes to Libby and hoopla:

  • Reducing Libby holds from 20 to 10 at a time
  • Reducing Libby borrows from 20 to 10 at a time 
  • Reducing hoopla borrows from 15 to 5 per month  
  • Requiring PIN authentication to the Libby sign-in process

Please note that if you have more than 10 holds on digital items on September 1, you will not lose your holds. You just will not be able to add new holds until you are within the new holds limit. 

While the vast majority of patrons will not be impacted by these changes, we know there will be interest in why we need to reduce holds and check-outs.  Learn more about why this is happening and how you can be a good digital neighbor.
