Just for the Kids
Kanopy does feature some content that is not for children, so you may wish to explore the parental settings on your devices. However, there is an entire video library specifically for the kiddos to explore – Kanopy Kids. This area is full of quality content specifically for children ages two and up, with a focus on ages 2-8. Best of all kids can enjoy unlimited plays.
With Kanopy’s parental controls enabled, your child will only be able to view titles in Kanopy Kids. To exit Kanopy Kids or watch videos outside of Kanopy Kids, you’ll need to enter a four-digit PIN.
What you have access to:
With your library card you can watch up to 5 films per month, 1 series from the Great Courses, and furthermore enjoy unlimited plays in Kanopy Kids too.
Kanopy content is updated on a weekly basis.
