Kanopy is excellent for independent films, documentaries, educational television, and more.
Kanopy is available through Robbins Library (for Arlington residents only) and the Boston Public Library (everyone who lives or works in Massachusetts is eligible). Users receive a limited number of "play credits" per month.
The AHS Library has a small number of institutional accounts we can loan staff to use in order to show Kanopy videos in class. Let us know if you're interested!
