How To Sign-Up
Start at kanopy.com/en/troypl Click "Sign Up" in the top right corner. Create your account by entering your first name, last name, email address, and a password of your choosing (Be sure to remember your email address and password – you'll use this to log in in the future!). Kanopy will send you and email to confirm your email address. Click "Verify my email." The link will send you back to Kanopy's website where you'll be asked to enter your library card.

How It Works
Use your play credits to watch up to 6 films every month. Once you press play on a film, you have 3 days to view it as many times as you like without using another play credit. Play credits reset on the first of each month – that's 6 new films for you!
You can access Kanopy from any device, including iOS, Android, Apple TV, Roku, and Chromecast.
