Hello all,
We are kicking off June with a very exciting announcement! Starting today, all of our members have access to Kanopy! Kanopy is a free, on-demand video streaming service with a catalog of more than 30,000 films from suppliers such as The Criterion Collection, BBC, NEON, A24, Samuel Goldwyn Films, HISTORY, A&E, IFC Films, and many more. Instead of paying for a subscription, you simply create an account using your library card to stream thousands of movies, TV shows, documentaries, and more!
Included in Kanopy's extensive collection is Kanopy Kids, a dedicated section with ad-free, education, and age-appropriate programming for children, including animated stories, early learning content, STEM videos, and literary adaptations.
How does it work?
Kanopy offers a ticket-based system, which will allow you to stream a select number of titles each month. Each month you will receive 25 tickets from the library for free to stream from Kanopy's collection. Movies and TV shows are available at varying ticket levels. If you're on desktop, you will find your current number of tickets on the top right corner. Tickets do not move over to the next month if you have not used them.
Kanopy's collection is updated monthly, meaning some titles may leave while others will be added like other streaming services so you can expect to see new titles and to rediscover older gems. The only exception is Kanopy Kids, which offers unlimited access to all of its content.
How to Create Your Kanopy Account:
Install the Kanopy app on your device or visit Kanopy.com. Click the Get Started button or Create a New Account.
Select Find Your Library. Search for San Juan Community Library on the search bar. Once you find San Juan Community Library, you can click on the Select this Library button on the map.
Type in your library card number (Reminder: Your library card number is your phone number without the area code.)
Finish creating your account. Kanopy will ask you for a name, email address, and password to set up your account.
Start streaming from Kanopy's vast collection!
Kanopy is available on Apple TV, Roku, Fire TV, Android TV as well as mobile devices, tablets, and desktop and laptop browsers. If you have any additional questions, email us directly at info@yourlibrarysanjuan.org. Welcome to the summer of Kanopy!
Reminder! Our 2026 Summer Reading Contest has officially commenced! Sign up and pick up some books and your activity sheets to compete. At the end of our 6 week contest we will be raffling 2 reading tablets and 2 gift cards to a bookstore. Open to all children, ages 2-18. Good luck and happy reading!
Wishing you a happy summer from our library family to yours!
