Enjoy Thoughtful Entertainment

Just as your library buys books to add to their collection for you to borrow, your library offers a variety of digital resources too - Kanopy is one of their more popular digital resources. Kanopy does not charge you because the public library or university covers all associated costs, allowing you to watch for free with no ads.

Kanopy is only available through libraries, so you need to be a member of a participating library to start watching Kanopy.

If you are a member of a participating public library, you can start watching by signing up with a valid public library card number and PIN/password.

If you are a currently registered student or faculty member of a participating college university, you can start watching by signing up with a valid university login.
