What started in 1989 as a family-owned video rental store grew into a trusted partner dedicated to helping libraries thrive.
A single suggestion to sell VHS tapes (remember those?) to public libraries inspired our founder, John Eldred to start Midwest Tape LLC – and set our mission in motion.
Fast forward to over 35 years later, we provide libraries across North America, New Zealand, and Australia with innovative products and equitable access to content.
Backed by a passion for exceptional service and a deep understanding of library needs, we fuel libraries with unparalleled access to top-tier media content including physical media (audiobooks, DVDs, CDs, and read-a-longs) as well as our digital platform, Hoopla Digital.
