Introducing Kanopy! A new video streaming service for library card holders!

Kanopy is a video streaming platform for libraries. Kanopy offers over 30,000 films—one of the largest film databases for libraries globally. Films come from over 1,000 top producers and distributers such as Janus Films (Criterion Collection), Frederick Wiseman (“Ex Libris”), Magnolia Pictures, Paramount Pictures (only selected Hollywood studio movies), Weston Woods, GKIDS, Women Make Movies, The Great Courses, PBS, Kino Lorber, Samuel Goldwyn Films, and many more. Over 60 percent of Kanopy’s content is exclusive and only available on Kanopy. There are dozens of new releases launched weekly. There are also  hundreds of kid's films and popular animated book titles as well as a number of films and documentaries perfect for homeshool use within the Kids Kanopy portion of the site.

To get started, you can download the Kanopy app from your app store for mobile devices, or visit eurekapl.kanopy.com/ on your computer or internet-enabled/smart television (or by connecting your computer to a television via an HDMI cable).  You will be asked to first create an account with your name, email address, and password.  Next you will be prompted to enter your library card number (Dxxxxxxxxx) and PIN number. If you do not know your PIN, please contact the library.

Patrons have 10 play credits per month (credits are reset the first day of each month) per library card. Once you select a film and hit play, you have 3 days to watch the film as many times as you would like! Kid's films (located on the Kids Kanopy portion of the site) are unlimited and do not require any credits.

If you would like a demonstration and assistance, contact the library to set up an appointment.
