Accessing Kanopy
What is Kanopy?
Kanopy is a video streaming service that partners with public libraries, allowing you to use your library card to view movies and TV shows for free. Movies can be enjoyed on your TV, mobile phone, tablet, and online. Content in Kanopy has been made possible by the use of the Freda Fishman Stroh Cultural Grant and the Friends of the Bixby Library. The content in Kanopy is independent from the content found in our other resources, GMLC, Palace, and hoopla.
How do I get into Kanopy?
You must first create a Kanopy account. Go to the Kanopy website and choose the Bixby Memorial Free Library as your home library. Then click “Add Library Card”. You will need to know your Bixby Library card barcode, this is the full code (letters and numbers) on the back of your library card. This barcode starts with the number “2” and the letters “VSQI” (ex: 2VSQI000001234). You will also need to know your library account password (typically the last four digits of your library card). After entering this information, enter your name, email, and create a password, and then you will have access to the collection.
