Online Books and Movies

If you can't get to the library, don't worry! Your library membership gets you free books and movies online.

Movies for kids

Kanopy

Enjoy amazing movies for kids (and grown-ups, too!) With Kanopy, you get monthly play credits to watch a wide selection of kid-friendly films. To get started, you’ll need help from a parent, guardian, or caregiver over the age of 13 who has a library card and PIN.

Parents can set up parental controls to ensure your children can't view content outside of Kanopy Kids.
