About Kanopy Kids

Kanopy Kids is appropriate for children ages 2 and up, with a focus on ages 2-8.

Kanopy Kids is only available to Kanopy users with active public library memberships. If your membership is through a college or university library, you won't be able to access Kanopy Kids.

If you're a member of a public library but don't see a link to enter Kanopy Kids, check which membership you're accessing Kanopy through.

If your library doesn't offer Kanopy Kids, we encourage you to let them know about your interest.

Patrons can access Kanopy Kids on their computer, TV, or mobile device. See a list of supported browsers and devices.

If you're using the Kanopy mobile app, we recommend updating it to the latest version for the best experience.

Kanopy Kids titles don't use play credits. You'll have unlimited access to everything in the Kanopy Kids section.

You must be at least 18 years old to have a Kanopy account. Users under the age of 18 must be supervised by a parent or legal guardian.

If you're sharing a Kanopy account with your child, you can use Kanopy on multiple devices simultaneously, so your child can use Kanopy Kids on one device while you use Kanopy on another device.

Since play credits aren't required in Kanopy Kids, they won't display in the Kanopy Kids section. You'll need to exit Kanopy Kids to see the number of play credits remaining on your account.

If you see play credits in Kanopy Kids, you're using an outdated version of the app. Although no play credits will be used for Kanopy Kids films, we still recommend that you update the app for the best experience.
