Explore…

Feeling bored at home? Why not explore some of the library’s resources.  Today let’s look at what your library card can get you in terms of streaming video.  You will be able to access each of these resources by visiting the library website’s eMedia page (https://lapl.org/collections-resources/e-media)



The first candidate is Hoopla.  Hoopla offers e-books, e-comics, full-length feature movies, episodic television programming, full musical albums and unabridged e-audiobooks. You can access Hoopla’s features on your smart device or through your browser.



Next we feature Kanopy.  With Kanopy you can stream over 26,000 films from hundreds of popular producers such as The Criterion Collection, and PBS, as well as thousands of independent filmmakers—on every topic imaginable.  Questions about Kanopy? Check out the FAQ (https://lapl.org/kanopy/faq). Note that the number of titles for checkout per month is currently set at 9.


Moving on, there’s Digitalia Film.  If foreign films are your thing Digitalia Film is for you.  Digitalia offers streaming films available to watch online.  These are mostly foreign language but it also has some classic American cinema. This includes feature films as well as documentaries.
