Kanopy: On Demand Movies & Documentaries

Kanopy Streaming Video is free with your library card.

Kanopy is an on-demand streaming video service with a unique collection of over 30,000 films including movies, documentaries, children, foreign and indie films.

Already joined Kanopy – Click     to log in and start watching.

Here’s how it works:

Your library has generously given you 5 play credits every month. So you can watch up to 5 films each month.

3 days to watch each film. Once you press play on a film, you have 3 days to view it as many times as you like without using another play credit.

Play credits reset on the 1st of the month. Once you have reached your quota of films, you will not be able to play any films until the new month starts when you will be given a fresh quota of 5 play credits again.
