On-Demand Movie Streaming Service Available to Library Patrons

Emma Clark Library is now bringing over 30,000 independent, international, classic, and documentary films (even training videos), to Three Village through an on-demand video streaming service called Kanopy.

Kanopy offers a wide variety of movies in popular categories like comedy, drama, and romance, as well as subcategories including performing arts, mental health, education, gender studies, and biology, just to name a few. Hundreds of new films are added each month. The service is very user-friendly, and can be accessed on multiple devices, such as a computer, tablet, or smart phone.

Other libraries that offer Kanopy include The New York Public Library, Brooklyn Public Library, and Los Angeles Public Library, and the service was featured recently in The New York Times. Three Village residents may access Kanopy through the Library’s website, www.emmaclark.org/downloads, and then follow the steps to create an account. Each Emma Clark Library patron may watch up to 5 movies per month with their library card. Library cardholders may stream Kanopy on their computer or download the app on their phone, and start watching, as Kanopy calls it, “The world’s finest cinema, brought to you by your library.”
