<\/p>\nOr…where to find those\u00a0 movies you always wanted to see or have seen\u00a0 but wanted to see again without leaving the comforts of your cozy home?<\/p>\n
.<\/p>\n
It’s kanopy<\/em><\/strong> baby, a new free<\/strong><\/span> service offered by many public libraries.<\/p>\n “kanopy offers a broad selection of m<\/em>ore than 30,000 feature films, documentaries, foreign language and more. “<\/em> from the NYPL website.<\/em><\/p>\n I was reading my favorite newspaper and saw that not only is the New York Public Library offering free streaming from kanopy<\/strong><\/em> but so are many libraries across the country.\u00a0 Then the\u00a0 email hit my inbox from\u00a0 the NYPL officially\u00a0 announcing this new free service\u00a0<\/em>available to its members.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Really true, libraries are definitely not just about books any more.\u00a0 Check out your library to see if they have it…if not, see if they’ll get it. (BTW did you ever return that overdue book?)<\/p>\n Have your popcorn ready and something good to drink, and find a movie you wanted to see that’s\u00a0 not in the theaters, not on Netflix or any other streaming thingy, but maybe, just maybe,\u00a0 there it will be FREE\u00a0<\/strong> from your local library. And really good news, you don’t have to leave your domicile- just sign up – and let it stream right to your living room, den, bedroom or whatever!<\/p>\n KAY’S NOTES:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Important to know:\u00a0<\/strong> If you’re not already a member of your library (tsk tsk) do it and then subscribe to kanopy<\/em>.\u00a0 \u00a0 Check out their website or the NYPL website\u00a0\u00a0for more info:\u00a0 https:\/\/www.kanopystreaming.com\/\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0https:\/\/www.nypl.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n Good to know:<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0 NYPL members – get ten selections a month.\u00a0 Your library system may vary.\u00a0 Now depending on your city\/town – library funding is usually thru our\u00a0 taxes.\u00a0 So OK – maybe not totally free – but close enough.\u00a0 \u00a0Right?\u00a0 No direct cost to join or use. Fun to know:<\/strong>\u00a0* For those who have not seen the movie or the Broadway show…or just too young (probably no one that reads my<\/em><\/strong> blog) to know… it’s that famous line from SUNSET BOULEVARD<\/em>\u00a0 that Norma Desmond (aka Gloria Swanson, 1950 movie\u00a0 and Glenn Close, musical, first run 1994)\u00a0says so dramatically.\u00a0 “Alright, Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my closeup!”<\/em><\/p>\n Photo of Sunset Boulevard\u00a0 poster courtesy of\u00a0\u00a0Posterazzi.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Disclaimer: I try for correct info on my posts, but no guarantees people<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Or…where to find those\u00a0 movies you always wanted to see or have seen\u00a0 but wanted to see again without leaving the comforts of your cozy home? .
