Movie lovers of all ages–we have exciting news!
TML cardholders now have access to Kanopy, an on-demand streaming video platform that offers films, TV shows, educational videos and documentaries.
Save some money this year and divest from your other streaming subscriptions to explore all that Kanopy has to offer–a vast collection of new, classic, favorite, educational, international, independent, and family-friendly movies and TV. Kanopy can be viewed online or through the app on any smart device, and all you need is your library card. (This service replaces Biblio+, which has been offered through Cloud Library for the past several years.)
How It Works
Login to the platform with your TML card. From there, you’ll be prompted to create a free account.
Once you are logged in, you will see two icons in the top righthand corner of your screen next to your login name, one for Kanopy Kids, one that shows a ticket stub with a number. The number indicates how many tickets you have for the current month. Movies and TV shows “cost” a certain number of tickets. Every TML cardholder has 25 tickets to use per month. At the beginning of each month, the number of tickets will reset to 25.
The exception to this rule is Kanopy Kids: content for kids is unlimited and does not use up any of your tickets (we know that kids like to watch the same content over and over again, so no worries there!)
Kanopy can be accessed on smart TVs and streaming devices
through the Kanopy App on Google Play or the Apple App Store,
or by clicking the button below.

Things to Know
TML offered Kanopy a number of years ago, but it became cost-prohibitive as it cost the library money each time someone accessed content, resulting in unpredictable costs per month. Kanopy now offers a program specifically for small public libraries, which will provide TML users with the ability to access all Kanopy has to offer for one year. Through June of 2026, we will be learning what TML users love to see so we can tailor the Kanopy experience in years to come–so start watching!
TML’s subscription to Kanopy is made possible
through funds from the Thomas Memorial Library Foundation.
