Up to Ten Films Per Month
Forest Park Public Library has generously given you ten play credits every month.
Three Days to Watch Each Film
Once you press play on a film, you have three days to view it as many times as you like without using another play credit.
Play Credits Reset on the First of the Month
Once you have reached your quota of films, you will not be able to play any films until the new month starts when you will be given a fresh quota of ten play credits again.
Any Device
You can access Kanopy from any device, including through Apple TV or Roku and with iOS and Android apps.
