The popular on-demand video streaming service Kanopy, available to library card holders for free, has now expanded to include Kanopy Kids: thoughtful entertainment for children preschool and up.
Parents can trust in a curated selection of educational and enriching videos on Kanopy Kids with developmentally appropriate, age-based ratings, as well as additional parental controls to keep kids safe. Kanopy Kids features approximately 500 children’s titles now, and will add more than 100 new titles each month. Kanopy Kids includes PBS Kids, beloved animated characters, literary classic adaptations, and diverse videos from around the globe.
Both Kanopy and Kanopy Kids are available on any computer, television, or mobile device, with apps for Roku, Chromecast, Apple TV, Amazon Fire Tablet, iOS, and Android. To access it, go here — or to the app store for whatever screens you’ll access it through — and search for “Kanopy”. To create an account, have your Library card number and PIN (usually the last four digits of your phone number) on hand. Happy viewing!
