No. If you get a new library card, you must merge the old and new accounts yourself. Here's how to do it: 

  1. Log in to your Hoopla account.

     
  2. Select the gear icon in the top right corner to open the Settings menu.

     
  3. Select Library Settings.

     
  4. Scroll down and enter your new library card number in the Library Card box.

     
  5. Click Save Library Settings.
     

Your new library card will now be connected to your Hoopla account.

And as always, if you would like further assistance you can also speak to a library staff member at your nearest branch location, or call Info Central at (941) 861-1110 to get help over the phone.
