Service Alert
Beginning May 1, temporary library cards will no longer have access to Kanopy and Kanopy Kids. If you have a temporary card and would like to utilize the platform, please visit your closest neighborhood library to validate your account and transition to a permanent library card (for more information on validating your card, please visit our Get A Card page).
This decision was made as part of our efforts to manage rising costs and ensure we can continue offering a broad range of valuable digital resources to all of our customers. We appreciate your understanding and continued support as we work to maintain a sustainable and inclusive library service for everyone.
Stream a selection of educational and enriching videos on Kanopy Kids with developmentally appropriate, age-based ratings from Common Sense Media, as well as additional parental controls. Kanopy Kids categories include TV Series, Learning Languages, Animated Storybooks, Anime Favorites, Classic Films and Movies for the Whole Family. Kanopy Kids has unlimited views.
To use Kanopy, you'll need to enter your library card information and create a Kanopy account. We recommend doing this in a web browser, but you can also set up your account in the Kanopy app for iOS or Android.
- To get started visit DC Public Library's Kanopy site and click "Add a Library Card"
- Create your Kanopy account by entering your name, email address, and password, then select Sign up.
