  • Works on most devices, either through a browser or apps available for iOS, Android, Chromecast, Apple TV & Roku.
  • Credits reset at the beginning of the month.

    Access to Kanopy is free with your library card. (Patrons must have a card that allows them to check out videos from the library, and owe no more than $5 in fines/fees.)
