Dear Library Member
,
The Old Bridge Public Library's newest online resource is a film-lover's dream and we are on the leading edge of libraries offering it to their patrons. Kanopy
offers a comprehensive collection of over 30,000 films, ranging from documentaries, indie and foreign films, to must-see classics and blockbuster movies.
This on-demand streaming video service is only available to public libraries and 3,000 top universities.
Kanopy videos can be viewed on a range of devices and platforms including Roku, Apple, Android, and Windows.
Along with feature films and documentaries, Kanopy also offers thousands of videos about various cultures, and instructional videos in many areas such as the arts, business, and health and sciences. In addition, users can access over 2,600 lectures from the well-respected The Great Courses catalogue, in subjects ranging from history to math to religion. To use Kanopy, just log on to our website effective July 1st,
and scroll down to the Kanopy button on the page. You will then be instructed to enter your library card number.
I hope you will enjoy this special resource; we will occasionally screen selections at the Library. I am extremely pleased to announce that we recently enhanced our meeting room with a new 130-inch motorized screen, multiple high definition speakers, a 4K projector and new video camera. In addition to these Kanopy screenings, the new technology will also enrich our Second Saturday concerts, Qello Virtual Concerts, weekly movie screenings and other programming. Please stop by to experience this new system and be sure to regularly check our website for all the latest events and programs available.
On another note, we will be hosting a
Volunteer Fair on Saturday, July 15th from 11-3pm. We are seeking participation from organizations, agencies and businesses that have volunteer opportunities for both teens and adults. Please contact our Adult Services Supervisor Nicole DeMatteo by
email or phone,
732-721-5600 x5030, for more information.
Have a spectacular week. See you in the Library!
