As the cost of entertainment climbs, people are discovering one of the best resources for streaming exciting video content is their library.
Palm Beach County residents can access more than 33,000 popular, entertaining, fun and educational films and TV shows at no cost and without ads, all courtesy of the Palm Beach County Library System’s newest service, Kanopy.
Kanopy is the leading video streaming service providing “films that matter” courtesy of public libraries and colleges around the world. With their library cards, residents can access Kanopy to enjoy entertaining films, documentaries, foreign films, classic cinema, independent films, bingeable TV series and educational videos. Families can also watch Kanopy Kids content, a curated collection of movies and shows for children.
Kanopy content includes major distributors including Warner Bros., MGM, Lionsgate, Paramount, BBC Studios, AMC Networks, PBS, A+E Networks, the Criterion Collection, A24, NEON, Kino Lorber and more. Featuring zero ads, the Kanopy platform is available via web browser, as well as on iOS, Android and all major streaming devices, including Roku, Apple TV, Android TV, Amazon Fire TV and Samsung Smart TV.
“We are excited to expand our collection by offering quality programming from Kanopy. By giving our members access to this robust streaming service, we are connecting our community to inspiring content that will enrich their lives,” Intellectual Resources Manager James Larson said.
At the beginning of each month, members with a valid library card will automatically receive 10 digital tickets on their account that do not roll over. Each title shows the number of tickets required to view the movie or TV show, in addition to the window to watch it. Children’s programming through Kanopy Kids has no limitations.
