Using your High Point Public Library card, you can now access the Kanopy streaming service. With an expertly curated collection of narrative and documentary films we think you’ll enjoy, we’re pleased to bring this streaming service to our community.  Go to Kanopy (or the Libby app, under Extras) to get started today.

If you use the OverDrive app and want to switch to Libby, we are here to help!
