One of my favorite activities for the wintry months is curling up on the couch with a fuzzy blanket, a mug of hot chocolate, and my favorite cozy Hallmark show playing on repeat—all 7 seasons of Good Witch. The best part is knowing that I’ve unlocked it all free of charge with my library card!  

Anyone with a Howard County Library System card can access the contents of Hallmark+ for free with just a single borrow on Hoopla thanks to the BingePass feature. BingePass allows Hoopla users to watch unlimited episodes or videos from a BingePass while only using up one of their monthly borrows.  

To access Hoopla BingePass offerings, visit hoopladigital.com and click “Get Started” to create an account using your library barcode number and preferred email address. Once you’ve registered, select “BingePasses” under the “Browse” menu. From there, choose your desired BingePass, borrow, and enjoy!
