For Port Jefferson Free Library cardholders ONLY. The popular on-demand film streaming service is now available for free! PJFL card holders can access Kanopy and sign up to start streaming films instantly by visiting portjefflibrary.kanopy.com. Films can be streamed from any computer, television, mobile device or platform by downloading the Kanopy app for iOS, Android, AppleTV, Chromecast or Roku. You will need an internet connection to watch films. The films cannot be downloaded to your computer; they only stream through the internet.
You are eligible to stream 10 movies per month, and you have 72 hours to view your selection(s).
Unfortunately, temporary library card numbers do not yet work with this service. We appreciate your patience as we work with the vendor to change this.
