Checkout Guidelines

You can check out 6 Instant items a month from Hoopla.

At the beginning of the new month, your 6 Instant item limit will reset. For example, if you reach your 6 Instant item maximum for January. You can check out 6 more Instant items on February 1. 

You can check out the same item again after your loan period has run out and the item has been returned so long as you have not reached your 6 Instant item maximum for the month. Bingepasses are a way to check out more materials without affecting your maximum monthly checkout.
