I highly recommend asking if your library has access to Kanopy. It's a video streaming service for libraries, and works on a monthly token system.

My local library has access to Kanopy, Libby, and Blackstone. And as a Canadian, I've got CBC gem as well.

The available library of films, documentaries, books, and so forth is enormous. All bereft of ads, and mostly bereft of slop.

Ugh. It's never enough, is it? They can't simply be happy making a decent profit and maintaining a reasonable customer relationship.

They always have to squeeze, crush, and destroy. Rob every customer, ruin every product, so they can enrich themselves.


omg. thanks for linking this. i had no idea.

kkr of all vultures is scary. libraries need to act quick to find alternatives and shut this firm out.

there’s a reason the mere mention of this particular private equity firm causes shivers to anyone who has heard of them.


I try to post this link everytime someone praises libby :|
