New Kanopy borrowing system coming Nov. 1

On Nov. 1, 2023, the Kanopy play credit system will be replaced with a new ticket system.

Previously, KFPL’s Kanopy users were offered three viewing credits a month to borrow three titles. Now, you will receive nine tickets a month and can borrow various titles depending on how many tickets each is worth. Every title is labelled with a ticket value and viewing window (the time you have to watch the title before it expires).
