Boston Public Library eCard / Hoopla

BPL eCard: The BPL eCard will give you access to anything the Boston Public Library has free digitally. This includes their access to their databases (including JSTOR), Hoopla, their audiobooks/eBooks (Overdrive), RBDigital Magazines (formerly Zinio), and also allows you to borrow museum passes. Anyone that is a resident of Massachusetts can sign up online. You'll get an email with your account info. Nota Bene: Use your personal email to log in so that you can use this card after you graduate. You can also sign up for a real library card by visiting any BPL branch. 

​Hoopla: With a Wakefield Library Card or a Boston Public Library Card (hardcard or eCard) you can create an account on Hoopla. Hoopla is awesome. It has free movies, albums, audiobooks, ebooks, graphic novels, comic books, etc. 

Here are a few of their current offerings:
Rupi Kaur's Milk and Honey; The Sun and Her Flowers
Sarah Schmidt's See What I Have Done
Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? - Graphic Novel Adaption
Film: What We Do in the Shadows (It's like The Office mixed with a vampire movie- hilarious and spooky). 

Feel free to send me an email or drop by the library if you ever need help with eBooks or anything related to your studies.
