Greenwich Library to Offer Children’s Video Content

greenwich-library-kanopy

Greenwich Library announces that Kanopy, a new video streaming service added to the Library’s extensive digital resources last year, now includes children’s content through Kanopy Kids.

Kanopy Kids contains thoughtful entertainment for children aged preschool and up. Parents can trust in a curated selection of educational and enriching videos on Kanopy Kids with developmentally appropriate, age-based ratings from Common Sense Media, as well as additional parental controls to keep kids safe.

Kanopy Kids highlights films and TV series that inspire and inform, helping children develop empathy, mindfulness, and self-esteem through entertaining and educational videos. Like Kanopy’s main catalog, all children’s content is available at no charge with a patron’s Greenwich or Perrot library card. To get started, visit the Library’s Digital Library page, or go directly to greenwichlibrary.kanopy.com/kids and follow the prompts to create an account.

With the launch of Kanopy Kids, Kanopy expands its mission to provide thoughtful entertainment to everyone, from young students to lifelong learners. Kanopy Kids features approximately 500 children’s titles at launch, with more than 100 to be added each month. Both Kanopy and Kanopy Kids are available on any computer, television, or mobile device, with apps for Roku, Chromecast, Apple TV, Amazon Fire Tablet, iOS, and Android.

Kanopy Kids categories include TV Series, Learning Languages, Animated Storybooks, Anime Favorites, Classic Films and Movies for the Whole Family. Key titles include Arthur, Babar, Franklin & Friends, Little Bear, Wild Kratts, Between the Lions, Little Pim, and Nigerian-animated Bino & Fino.

The collection also highlights Classic Films from Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton and Oscar® nominated titles including A Cat in Paris and The Secret of Kells, plus family-friendly documentaries, Girls Rock and The Endless Summer.

Kanopy was founded in 2008 by CEO Olivia Humphrey as an educational tool for colleges and universities. The service has recently become available in libraries and is rapidly expanding across the United States, Canada, and Australia. With thousands of documentaries, feature films, and educational videos, Kanopy provides convenient access to the films that entertain and enrich viewers.

Common Sense Media offers the largest, most trusted library of independent age-based and educational ratings and reviews for movies, games, apps, TV shows, websites, books, and music. They publish independent ratings and reviews for nearly everything kids want to watch, read, play, and learn with and are a trusted guide to help them navigate a world where change is the only constant.
