It's a streaming service that functions a little like Netflix. It offers classic movies, recent features and documentaries. And like Netflix, it can be viewed on your television, laptop or phone.
But unlike Netflix, it's free.
The service is called Kanopy, and chances are it's available through your local library. All you need is a library card and just about any internet-enabled device, and you can choose from thousands of Hollywood classics, mainstream hits, art-house releases and foreign films. Kanopy won't divulge viewership numbers_another similarity to Netflix_but the service appears to be growing.
