Distribution & Wholesale Jobs in Ohio with TN Sponsorship

INTRODUCTION

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-alongs) as well as our digital platform, Hoopla Digital.

Hoopla, available on iOS, Android, and desktop, combines our decades of media expertise with modern technology to deliver an all-in-one experience for libraries and their patrons. With one of the strongest catalogs in the digital library space, Hoopla empowers libraries to reach patrons wherever they are.

We proudly partner with our library partners and content providers to strengthen communities through access to educational resources and entertainment experiences. Since 1989, our commitment has remained the same: supporting libraries with solutions that make a difference because strong libraries build healthy communities.
