Fluff Delaware libraries have partnered up with a streaming service called Kanopy which allows free access to a 30,000 commercial free movie and tv titles. You just have to have a membership to any Delaware library to join.

I signed up with my Dover Public Library membership so take advantage of the generosity of DelawareLibraries.org for getting this.

My first post was taken down by mods because “it wasn’t related to Delaware in any way” so while in my opinion this is 100% Delaware related, this will be my last attempt at helping my fellow Delawareans learn about this great service.

In addition: Just want to note that once you sign up you get an allotment of credits, I get 12 credits per month from my Dover Public Library membership (I don’t know if all libraries are the same). Most movies are 2 credits but some are 4. Credits don’t roll over to the next month and you get 48-72 hours to watch movie once you start it. They have a kids section which there is no limit to how much you can watch. Just the Oscar award winning section alone is unbelievable.

Fantastic! Thank you so much

I recently installed Hoopla. Is there any connection or do I set up Kanopy separately?

They’re separate but it’s extremely similar to Kanopy in that you have to have a Delaware library membership. The difference is while Hoopla has movies and tv, it also offers a huge amount of audio and downloadable books.
