The Garland County Library is thrilled to announce the addition of Kanopy, a free streaming service packed with critically acclaimed documentaries, independent and classic films, and educational content, all available to stream for free with your library card!
Kanopy provides a vast library of films you won’t find on traditional streaming platforms. Explore hidden gems, new releases, independent films, world cinema, documentaries, and more. Kanopy also offers a curated selection of children’s content, perfect for family movie nights.
Kanopy is accessible on your computer, tablet, smartphone, smart TV, and even some gaming consoles with no fees or commercials.
Users will be credited 20 tickets at the beginning of every month. Films cost between 2-4 tickets and typically lend for 72 hours. Full-series TV shows often cost between 3-6 tickets and lend for longer, between 7-21 days. And, all content for kids on Kanopy is free and does not require tickets to view.
Using Kanopy is easy, just visit www.kanopy.com/gclibrary and enter your library card number and PIN. Then create a free Kanopy account and start browsing and enjoy! For help getting started with Kanopy or any of the Library’s digital services, visit www.gclibrary.com/support to schedule one-on-one tech help with one of the Library’s IT specialists.
The Garland County Library is located at 1427 Malvern Avenue in Hot Springs. Visit www.gclibrary.com to access the online catalog, accounts, e-materials, and more 24/7 from any internet device. Remember that having fun isn’t hard when you have a library card.
