New: stream films and TV free with Kanopy!

Post Published: April 24, 2023

Just added: Kanopy offers streaming films and TV with a free, constantly updated library!

A collage of films available on Kanopy. Text reads "Explore a world of cinema with Kanopy. Films that matter. Start today at kanopy.com. Films may vary by country and library."

Using your Arlington Public Library card, you can now access Kanopy—a new-to-Arlington streaming service offering an extensive collection of narrative and documentary films, TV series, kids content and digital courses.

Getting started

Step 1. Sign up for a Kanopy account using your library card number, accessible on your physical cards or your account profile in the Arlington Library website or app.

Step 2. Find and download the Kanopy app for your television or mobile devices. Streaming in a web browser does not require an app.

Step 3. Explore the Kanopy library, select your film or series  and start streaming!

Play credits and viewing periods

Every library card is granted 30 "tickets" each month, which are redeemed when viewing a film or episode. Many offerings on Kanopy have a 48 or 72 hour viewing period, and patrons can watch their selection as many times as desired during this time without using another ticket..

Kanopy Kids content does not deplete tickets. Series and Great Courses are variable based on run time.
