Midwest Tape, LLC & hoopla Digital

n 1983, John Eldred’s video retail store began selling VHS tapes to Libraries. The model took off and in 1989, Midwest Tape was established to focus solely on the growing needs of Public Libraries. Since then, Midwest Tape has evolved into the premier Library media distributor.

In 2013, hoopla was created to help Libraries provide a contemporary digital content platform for their patrons. At launch, hoopla was the first content provider to offer the ability to stream content or download for offline use – three years before Netflix.

We’ve innovated a wide range of products and specialized services designed to meet the ever-changing needs of Public Libraries and their patrons. Today, Midwest Tape and hoopla deliver an unparalleled digital Library experience and leads the industry in service and innovation in four countries.
