What are Instant and Flex Borrows on Hoopla?
Answer
Instant Borrow titles can be identified by the following icon: 
Instant titles are always available and allow for simultaneous usage by multiple patrons.
Our library patrons have 10 Instant borrow credits each month. Unused Instant borrows will not roll over into the next month and returning an Instant title will not free up an additional Instant borrow.
Flex Borrow titles can be identified by the following icon: 
Flex titles are not simultaneous-use copies; that is, only one person at a time may borrow a Flex title. If a copy is out on loan, it cannot be borrowed again until returned. If a title is currently out on loan, you may place a hold on the title. This is similar to how physical books are loaned out by the library.
Our library patrons have 5 Flex Borrow credits each month. If all copies of a Flex title are out on loan, "Wait List" will be displayed above the title artwork.
