Weekly Kanopy Picks


Grab the popcorn! WPL has movie night covered. It might be hard to pick a movie to watch when there are so many options out there. Also, many of those options aren`t free. With your WPL card, you can stream 4 movies per month through Kanopy using your "play credits."

How play credits work

To use a play credit, you must press play on a video and have the video play for at least 5 seconds. Once a play credit is logged, you will have a full 3 days (72 hours) to watch the video as many times as you would like without using another play credit, even if a new month starts and your credits reset. Your viewing history will show any video that is still available to view in your 3 day window. After the 3 day window has expired, another play credit will be used if you press play on the video again.

If you do not have a Kanopy account, you can create one. Click here for instructions.
