Arapahoe Libraries has a daily budget that limits the total number of hoopla titles that can be borrowed by all patrons. Once the daily limit has been reached a message will appear regardless of whether you have used your individual monthly allowance of 20 checkouts. When you see this message, you will not be able to borrow any titles from hoopla until the daily reset occurs at midnight. Generally, the earlier in the day you access your hoopla account, the more likely you will succeed in checking out your desired title.
