Changes to Kanopy

Important changes are coming to Kanopy starting November 1st.

What will be changing?

Instead of play credits, Kanopy users will now be issued “tickets” every month.  Kanopy titles will be labeled with the number of tickets needed to watch them, and how long you have to view to the title.  Episodic content (i.e. TV Shows and Great Courses) will now be bingeable so you can watch an entire season or course using tickets based on the running time.  Check out the table below that breaks down the ticket requirements and viewing periods for Kanopy titles.

Running Time Ticket Requirement Viewing Period
2 Hours or Less 2 3 Days
2 to 4 Hours 3 3 Days
4 to 6 Hours 4 7 Days
6 – 10 Hours 5 14 Days
10+ Hours 5 21 Days

How many tickets will I get?

As a Falmouth Public Library patron, you will be getting 15 tickets a month to watch Kanopy content.  Kanopy Kids will remain unlimited views, as Kanopy Kids content will be ticket-free to watch.

When will these changes be taking place?

Kanopy will switch to the new ticketing system on November 1st.  When using Kanopy for the first time in November, either through its app or the website, a pop up will appear to walk you through the new ticketing system.

Have any questions?
