Oregon City Public Library Adds Film Streaming Services, Kanopy -07/02/18

Oregon City, Oregon –  Oregon City Public Library is expanding its offerings by including the on-demand film streaming service, Kanopy. Libraries in Clackamas County (LINCC) library card holders, whose home library is Oregon City, can access Kanopy and sign up for an account by visiting www.kanopy.com.
 

Patrons receive five play credits per month to stream instantly from www.orcity.kanopy.com. Stream from any computer, television, mobile device or platform by downloading the Kanopy app for iOS, Android, AppleTV, Chromecast, Amazon Fire tablet, or Roku.

Offering what the New York Times calls “a garden of cinematic delights,” Kanopy showcases more than 30,000 of the world’s best films, including award-winning documentaries, rare and hard-to-find titles, foreign language films, film festival favorites, indie and classic films, and world cinema with collections from Samuel Goldwyn, The Orchard, The Great Courses, PBS and thousands of independent filmmakers. And in May 2018, Kanopy launched Kanopy Kids!

“Kanopy is an exciting new service that is sure to complement our library’s collections,” says Sabrina Tusing, Oregon City Youth Services Library Assistant. “Everything from Kanopy Kids’ educational videos to foreign films and all that falls in between—there is something for everyone to enjoy. I found Kanopy to be easy to setup and use, and I look forward to finding fun and unique ways of implementing Kanopy into our Teen programming in the future.”

 

Kanopy was founded in 2008 by CEO Olivia Humphrey as an educational tool for colleges and universities. More than 5 million Kanopy users stream the most acclaimed movies and documentaries from award-winning filmmakers and experience the best in independent, classic film, and world cinema.
