November is Teen Read Month!
Check out some our newest great Teen titles Here!

If you are already signed up for our free streaming film service at
https://warnernh.kanopy.com you may have been seeing notices about a change in how your monthly account usage will be handled.
Until November 1, each user on our account was allowed a maximum number of "plays" of films viewed, and the library was charged a varied amount depending on the films.
Starting November 1, each user is assigned a set maximum number of free "tickets" - currently 30 - per month, and each film info page states how many tickets it will use and how many hours or days you will be given to finish viewing it. Longer films and TV seasons will use more tickets and allow more days to view. The library is invoiced $1 per ticket used.
(Examples: BBC's Father Brown Season 1 is 5 tickets and you will have 14 days to view.). Everything Everywhere all of the Time is 2 tickets, 72 hrs to view. More at help.kanopy.com/en-us/4260.htm
Kanopy Kids is Kanopy's curated collection of content for children, with a focus on ages 2-8 and you can set parental controls to block their access to other sections so they only see age-appropriate content, and it allows unlimited free (no-ticket) kids viewing.
