The Worcester County Library invites the community to step back in time and celebrate the nation's 250th anniversary with two free living history performances on Tuesday, July 14.

Important Update Regarding Hoopla Services

Eastern Shore Regional Library, Inc. has announced that effective June 1, 2026, it will no longer offer Hoopla, a digital media service that many patrons of the Worcester County Library have come to use and love.

 

While Hoopla has been a popular service for patrons of the Worcester County Library, “pay-per-use" models have become increasingly difficult for libraries to sustain. Because costs increase alongside popularity, this model has reached a point where it is no longer fiscally sustainable for the regional library system.
