I know, I’m as shocked as you are. Free Muppet stuff? Too good to be true? Nope, it’s both good and true.

Hoopla is a digital library service that offers exactly what you’d find in a real brick-and-mortar library: Books, movies, albums, comics, and more. Their collection has hundreds of thousands of items, so of course, there’s bound to be some Muppet stuff in there somewhere.

Of course, the service works like a library in a lot of other ways too. You need a valid library card to “borrow” items. Books can only be borrowed for 21 days, albums for 7 days, and movies for just 72 hours. There’s a limit to the number of items you can borrow per month. But since it’s all digital, no late fees! That’s a plus!

To sign up, head to Hoopla’s website or download their app on the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or Kindle Fire Store.

Here is a nigh-complete list of the Muppet items that we’ve found on Hoopla. I’m sure there are more that I haven’t found yet!
