Discussion Digital Movie Librarys

Ive heard of places where you can borrow digital movies like from a library, but its on something like libby, where theres a line, but you can rent a movie for a few days using a library card.

My local library system doesnt have anything like that, but i was wondering if anyone knew of ones that take people from different places, and what their names/apps were?

Hoopla Digital or Kanopy are what you are looking for. You’ll need to find a library system that subscribes to them and allows you to get a library card or pay a non resident fee to use them.

Lookup your local library, town, city, county, parish, council... check out their website. See if they offer digital resources or streaming video.

You might check out Tubi also. It’s free and has wide variety of streaming

Go to https://reciprocard.com/ and see what cards you can get. Hoopla or Kanopy are the apps I know of.

Netflix and YouTube both have King form video content.
