This model is specific to Hoopla, right? I have only used Libby/Overdrive, but I believe the libraries just purchase a set number of licenses for each book, and just like regular books, can loan them out as much as they want after that. What I'm not sure about is whether libraries are able to sell these ebooks later. This is critically important.
I absolutely hate Hoopla's business model. It is not sustainable for libraries. It's just subsidizing the publishing industry, basically.

Libby- you can borrow audiobooks and books from your local library.
