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).
Oct. 23-27 marks Media Literacy Week! Literacy means more than reading – it's about decoding media messages that shape our world. Learn more with these books.
These five authors offered up hypnotic, mesmerizing stories to this year’s jury. Each one rare, each one unique. The jury agonized over the final five books, arguing passionately and forcefully for their choices. The list and the authors they ultimately arrived at showcases the depth and breadth of Canadian literature. Congratulations to all.
– Elana Rabinovitch, Executive Director, Scotiabank Giller Prize
This year's winner will be announced live on CBC on November 13, 2023, at 9 p.m. CBC Gem will stream the ceremony, with a livestream also available on cbcbooks.ca/gillerprize. Listeners can tune in to the broadcast special on CBC Radio One and CBC Listen at 9 p.m.
